These guys came out of the gate hard. Do not want.



Ormus ring stashed if I need the strength later



Didn't have the time to do the dungeon today so I put it off till later, went for LK waypoint.
These guys almost knocked me out twice before I ended up howl-splitting them and taking them out one at a time. Really frustrating.

I think this is the first time I've ever found the brain before the eye.



Blood ring craft #2 I think. Stashed.



My nemesis was easy this time around. Did take it carefully but never dropped below a half.

Sarina was not a big problem.



Icewing scares me but he wasn't bad this time around. Dropped a rare ring.



Stashed. I love my nagels too much still.

Leaping is the barbarian teleport. It really rocks.



Pulled the council members out one by one and feared if i pulled a superunique and a minion. Worked out pretty well.



Only took about 10 minutes to get all the way through them one at a time.

First durance floor was Short for a left-waller



Second durance... well, mistakes were made. I explored the entire outside wall by the time I was done


Did find a ko!

At least it's close to the durance 1 entrance... It ended up being shorter to go through trav to durance 3 than taking the waypoint. Should have rerolled my map but i was afraid of it being long again.



Almost an upgrade. Wheres my +1 baba skills at?



Trav was really hard until I feared everything away and got bartuc alone to get rid of conviction. Hit 1/3 health a couple times in this fight.
Also, you can see my stats (albeit with conviction) here. I think I've got my +1s all correct for my balanced rules.

Really great looking drops for a first run. They were all trash.



At least these runs will be good for gold. I only have about 120 mf. Probably should have more but this feels very comfortably safe at the moment?



Merc was dying so I crafted him a blood hat. Hopefully he'll live a little better now.

Third run. J is my hotkey button and i hit it before I hit enter...



Bad gc. Still better than what I've got. Using it.



This was like run 6 or 7? I got bored of keeping track at 5. This was one of my goals: a sweet merc hat.

Other goals I had while running this (I did most of this on vacation for the last few days)
Sweet hat for me, I'm pretty sure an arreat's face can spawn here.
Duriel's shell
Amulet upgrade? (Unlikely)
Damage upgrade.
I'm finding that swords I'm running into really bad strength requirements for 2-handers I'm never going to be able to use. I might make my switch sooner than I thought to a different type of weapon. More to come on that, based on drops.

Almost a keeper



With each of these that drops I get closer to a less crap-tier helmet



Decent GC

Nat's boots. Not worth using.



Saved in case I found another piece of szabis, will throw away when I run out of stash space



Starting interspersing crafting with these runs as I found jewels
