Death to the Rouge!
Then, I discovered that the Mausoleum has only Lighting immune monsters... It may be possible to MF here, but it will still be at a huge risk. I have no merc, and even this dude can probably one-hit me (he came DAMN close)! If he had extra strong then Penelope would be dead.

I can barely afford to keep buying blue pots.
So the safest course of action will be to go MF in NM. First I'm going for two shael. One for merc armor upgrade, one for new Rhyme.
Then I need to get a bigger stick for my merc. I'm reconsidering my Plan wrt no Insight & no Spirit. I want to finish this walk sometime before D3 comes out, and it appears that even with those adds it still won't be easy.
We will see. It hasn't come to that yet though.
