The Tavern

Although I suppose Nikola might have instakilled Rupert and himself if I walked down without 0 stealth

And my other Lair branch is Shoals... what do

I guess it's time to enter Shoals, it cannot be worse than this.

why a spear

Clueless console player here.

That's Nikola and Rupert, and he's standing on the exit on the first floor of Spider.

The ghost thing is his Knight ancestor via Hep, and his weapon of choice is a spear with no shield for some reason (prob. lack of anything better).

this is hilarious

I'm a merfolk and I found a distortion mace on like D:2. I just dropped it and my polearms was still low so I was using a +8 elec artifact spear, although I have now upgraded to a glaive.

I did enter shoals, being a merfolk with ice beasts and rMissile has helped ginormously. Killing enemies a few at a time has been ok, I wont ever need to fight a big group will I?

Edit: now that I think about it, if I had gotten abyssed by that mace with like 4 polearm skill I would have had to re-equip it to survive the abyss...

Time to take the enemy unawares!

Oh yeah, you'll be fine. Just make sure you focus Rupert first. Nikola hits like a wet noodle and Rupert doesn't have any HP to take abuse.

A wet noodle being struck by lightning as it hits you maybe...
