CIP - Hercule Poirot, Halfling Gentleman (actually Hunter.)
Hercule Poirot is actually my MOST SUCCESSFUL character ever, i'm not kidding : i NEVER went past the Lair. Yeah, really i'm that bad :3 (but havin a lot of FUN).
So yeah, successful character, plenty of Trog Sling Bullets of Awesome and some good wands but I am stuck at what to do there. This might not be that bad but how to put it...
Gastronok scares the shit out of me. So i'm looking for advice here, what would you do ? As Gastronok is slow my idea was to blast his froggy escort with my fire wand/sling and summon a Brother in Arms to keep him busy and then take care of him.
I could also quaff my potions of agility and might (both, or just one ?), summon my brother in arms when close and berserk when at range but...
I'm not too sure about all this. Could you give me some piece of advice ? :3
