In Reply to: dont you just loooove those hammer pendants posted by Sevorethiel on November 14, 2000 at 12:37:54:
some personalinformation not that interesting but still. ok like this: 2 months ago i moved to dublin eith some friends, leaving computers, modems etc at home. hoping that guiness and rain would make up for the loss of my computer... under the circumstances i'm doing fine, but everytime i get to a internet cafe to write home i have to browse dio's page and lately i have been thinking (daydreaming at work [Clontarf Castle]), that if i would play anything i'd go with a thief... now to my advice for you:
Ok you didn't show a affectslist which would be helpful (I assume you posted this log to get advice).
for starters you got him blackjacked bring on the scrolls... I by no means claim to know alot about thera and where to find the best scrolls at every level but if you sit down and think I'm sure you can remember some scrolls you have seen around by a couple of scrolls of identify and check em out...
ok lets continue you peeked into his inventory saw nothing you needed, so you stole nothing could seem logical but steal the sword anyway and if you don't want it sac it (so he will not have a spare when you dirt and disarm). if not earlier, when you looked at him you saw that he was a cloud which means that he flies so your trip command shouldn't have been sent (i'm sure it was an old habit). ok as a thief i wouldn't have used the same tactics as you (trying to recite some scroll if nothing else just Faerie fire) then go with the good old flee knife flee knife or another classic dirt disarm ...
ok what boogy didn't wanna say i will: you should try to primary wield a sword (or mace) and go with dagger as dual wield this would have given your parrying a boost.
ok don't shoot me I just wanna help
