I hope this is referring to the Istendil death log. If Isty had the full Naz shrine guardian upgraded to ghoul status army ... sure we would have cut our(DIKU) losses to a Blade or two. I always had group teleport on a hotkey when Isty was around, not that I would care much about the Blades, but perhaps the other DIKU's or Zulgh's mortal. Back to the story... The idea was that I should be in front, not the duergar warrior. Since I was fully prepped with all the resistances that we could get at the time. I am pretty sure I could tank a full set of normal zombies without a hitch, and he would die faster since the vampiric's wouldn't heal him as much. negative resist/6 shields/black shroud/yada yada should help. So bottom line, had he prepped fully with a truly wicked army, we would have cut the losses(as we did many times those days). Otherwise same result(in my biased oppinion)
