Background story:
In a Skovos Isles there was a volcanologist known for great understandings of volcano and ability to predict next eruption and meteor showers. (link for map: http://media.blizzard.com/d3/media/screenshots/guide/global/world/intro.jpg )

He was not just wise, but also physically strong, absurdly strong. Thanks to his strength and the way he was fighting he was given a nick name of "animal".

Not many people knew that the very genius everybody loved and adored was under the curse of a werewolf.

That very curse is a biggest taboo on island thanks to a werewolf tribe that lived there earlier, they looked peaceful and friendly on outside, but whoever dared to sleep in that village was murdered. After considered amount of victims kingdom decided to exterminate village, but no one expected that those werewolves would put up a great fight and destroy half a country before being perished... or so did the majority of people were told.

Our hero is none other then a descendant of that clan, but thanks to his mix blood the blood within his veins is not pure and his werewolf blood keeps quite. No one knows about this but his father. Father has told him to keep quite about it, and to tell no one. His father wanted to see if his son could live peaceful live so on his 10th birthday he took out his son under full moon and see if he would undergo any changes, when nothing happened his father was relieved and never was seen ever again. His son tried to search for him but to no avail, no one knew why he left, or where he left to, but 1 year later news reached our hero that there was a werewolf that went on rampage and was put down.

One quite night when he was gazing at the star, he saw that there is a great disturbance coming into his world, and his power is needed to save the piece of the whole world, but the price for doing so would be great.

He told king about what he saw and quickly departed to main land in order to save the world... If only he knew the price for saving the world, he would have never left.

Introduction:

Greetings, this is my next attempt at conquering game as a druid. I will start him off as a fire druid to beat normal mode and farm NM Andariel for ribcracker before going fury werewolf build. I am not going to give myself many restrictions simply because this game for me is to relax after stressful work and I just want to indulge myself without too much of a worry to how I play

Goals:

Beat Hell baal, get torch + anni and to have fun.

Early game I will have to farm on countess for a lot of tir's. My plan is to have 6 tir gear in total (2 head, 1 weapon, 3 bodyarmor) for 12 mana per kill, and with fissure's flat mana cost of 15 there won't be a need for mana pots unless I ll be fighting Fire Enchanted / Act Bosses (so if you ll see me on full mana pretty much all the time... don't accuse me of "hacking" please, thank you)

I shouldn't really be saying this, but just a reminder to people who don't play druids often, Oak sage is poison immune on normal difficulty and hell, but on nightmare it is physical immune and poison immune (aka perfect tank for keeping Andariel busy)

Game rules are simular to my other wt, p8 besides countess re-runs on p1 + large stash + ladder runewords.

Gear goals:

I will start from normal mode and will go to end game

Head: 2 tir head with + fissure --> jalal's --> Guillie
Amulet: anyting --> angelic combo --> highlords
Armor: 3 tir armor --> treachery --> fort / coh
Weapon + shield: leaf weapon --> ribbie --> grief pb / storm shield --> BotD eth GPA --> eth tomb reaver with decent ed and 3 sockets (hopefully I will find zod for it (or 2nd ))
Gloves: random --> mage fists --> blood fists --> loh
Rings: angelic ring --> raven frost + dual leech ring
Belt: string of ears
Boots: gores

Without further a do, lets start the journey.

Day 1:

After coming to main island I feel as if something started to rampage within my body. I don't know what it is, but so far it only makes me physically strong and my magic increases in power to new heights. It is very strange but I cannot be asking for help... if someone will find out about my curse I ll be killed among many other fallens.

On note of fallens, one of them had a very peculiar shield, it had really high standart and gave me more strengths once I equipped it. This fallens have got really strong gear, yet they are just lesser demons that can be found everywhere...



Day 3:

After getting approval of a camp I heard a bout a story of a very demonic countess. Once I heard about it, my blood boiled with rage and I rushed off to finish this demonic being and end the blood shed of innocent girls!



Day 7:

I had to take precautions before entering monastery. It is no longer a holy place as it should be, I should be calling it evil's sanctuary. So much blood, so much sin in this place!!! I have to purge every single demon!.

Day 8:

After killing Andariel the evil creatures within monastery started to flee. In order to save lives of innocent people I have to follow them and slaughter everything!





Day 21:

Once I reached Lut Gholein it looked like it was fine, so I was relieved deep down, that unknown something within my body is waking up, I do not like it. The more demon's I slain, bloodthirstier I become. It is managable for now, so I should just keep an eye on my blood thirst and I will be fine, but I need to take revenge on those demons for slaying so many innocent! Atma shouldn't doubt me that I will avenge her, not for her sake but for mine!

Day 23:

This sewers is massive. Radament hid well, but he will not be able to hid from revenge, nothing can stop it!



Day 27:

After Cain has deciphered old relics I knew that this adventure is going to be a lot harder then I foresaw in stars. I know what tal-rasha tomb is and secrets behind it, records of that ancient evil being jailed there was written in secret reports. This is not going to be easy.



Day 28:

It scares me how animals are able to use weapons and shields to attack normal human's. But at least that gear will go to good cause.

Day 32:

I am glad that relics I seek give peculiar and very strong aura, otherwise I would be searching for artifacts years.



Day 33:

Back at camp Cain told me about hidden powers of Horadric cube. I knew it was powerful but I highly underestimated of it's formidable power.

either u slam mana pots like a champ or u are steeleybooth

Day 35:

After playing around with cube I was able to create a very strong poleaxe. It is so formidable that neither I nor my merchant can wield it. The power of that cube is too frightening, I should guard that cube with out most care. Who knows what'll happen if it ll get in wrong hands?

Thanks for reading that massive wall of text

Day 38:

I am back in desert, I found massive lair of maggots. I am just happy that this area is not complicated or big.

Day 40:

I should stop being cheap and buy myself a mount to speed me up with my quests.



After being with vipers for so long, I am still confused why they had this voulge on their back?



Day 50:

I never expected to find a genius in this desert. The books here, the knowledge!!! If only not for the world being in great danger, I would have stayed here and study everything he got here!
