YASD: Eye Spy with my Azure Slime

You may be incredibly resistant to hostile enchantments, but that doesn't extend to those squishy eyes.
Found Boris in the Vaults along with Mara, so I could skip them easily, and cleared out the final floor without meeting Quicksilver and with the Alistair/Clarity combo. Took down the Crypt in search for my fourth rune and found nothing but a ring, and then decided to take on the Slime Pits, conquering my fears but not my stupidity.

Met the Royal Slime and brought him down a few notches to the point where he ran, but got swarmed by Azures. Should have ran for the stairs but I think I was a bit too far off from it. Saw an eye while they were a ways away but I left it be, thinking it harmless. Next thing I knew, I was getting smacked around and near death. Decided to take 'em down but alas, it was too late and my Eclecticist (?) was mangled by a jelly. A fabulous Azure after dodging a few blows.

Most of my item finds were crap, excluding my Staff of Eternal Poison Arrow and that sweet hot Quick Blade. Didn't know what the ring of Mowkug (right hand) {unknown, Dex+3 Dam+4} did completely and my other ring was the best I could get. My skill allocation was messed up with way too much in Necromancy for heading towards Haunt and never getting it, not enough in Fighting and... I was foolish. But this is one of those deaths I can laugh about, for doing what I never thought I could and making me want to go for it again. Going to spruce up my skill allocation, prioritize and play it cool until that final incident. Wicked fun, and still loving this classic combo.

And get Fulsome Distillation quicker, gotta have my mutations.

Re: YASD: Eye Spy with my Azure Slime

Didn't think the rF- would have been too much of a bother in the Pits and took your advice on not wearing unidentified randart jewellery on my next run; a couple were bad but the majority were pretty good. I could only identify the parts of the unID randart that wouldn't cost me my life.

Re: YASD: Eye Spy with my Azure Slime

I can't see rF- harming you in the Slime Pits.
