so there I was ataop mount arreat. Drumsticks in hand, ready to set the world ablaze. I red the altar and stood in the middle awaiting battle. I was able to take down one of them while the other 2 focused on my merc. He soon perrished and I took a quick inventory of my pot status. I had a few left and contunied on. I was watching my bulb closely and it was down to a sliver. I noticed the ancinet I was working on only needed one hit as well. I gambled and figured I would kill him before he got me. Well, I lost.
The second time around I did not wait in the middle. I activated the altar and moved back. I attracted 2 of them to me and the merc got one. I had to feed him some pots since he was a moron and decided to shoot balls of ice at a cold immune. It served the purpose though as I was able to bring down the 2 on me. As soon as I focused my attention on the remaining whirly he went through me like a hot knife through butter and whacked my merc. I checked my pots and had 4 left. I knew I could do it and proceded to play "ina-godda-da-vita" on his arse. It took a little bit and 2 more pots, but alas he was down. I figure I gave the merc about 3 pots and I drank the rest. I walked away with 2 pots and one level's expierence. It was a struggle to bring them down. It was an incredible challenge. A drummer barb is doable, if you have patience. Maybe a source of lifetap would have helped him live longer while surrounded but I doubt it.
