Marvel at Salylenn the wretchling! He was a cursed wyrmic, and something of a pushover. He shall be missed.

EDIT: Encountered by a level 25 (or so) Dwarf Berserker.

I think its a great idea, though l would suggest for the sake of background you give your level and class too.

I was bout lvl 17 skeleton archer, and got shaloren (timeless) cave bear I think temporal warden. Not much of a challenge but the orc cryomancer wasn't fun... Lvl 35. On the same lvl. I did also get 3 alchemist ingredients here: ghoul, bear and wretchling. Warg too but I had that, and old missed recipe drop.

Same dwarf zerker, different boss. This one was lurking at the 3rd level of Reknor-style corridors made of sand, populated by skeletons, vampires and oozes. It seems to have been a fighter/paradox mage/archmage, not particularly good at each one of them. It had a weak disruption shield going at the beginning of the battle, which mainly helped me get rid of its half-dozen vampire allies.

With that out of the way, we mainly slugged it out. Since it didn't have any healing and didn't hit particularly hard (40-ish after armor 35 (50% hardiness) and my 13% physical resistance, the outcome wasn't much in question. I did mostly a 120 with added slowing from slime, and the occasional stun it did with shield bash gave me a nice opportunity to use my infusions.

Farportal diaries of Ancien, the Skeletal Temporal Warden.
(I'm not REALLY undead, you see, it was just an accident. Musn't toy with the fabric of spacetime.)


In the farportal room causing quite a disturbance was this fellow. Lady? Hard to say. Worms are hermaphroditic.

Fellow Temporal Warden, it seems, although apparently he/she was also a barbarian. And a pile of worms. Long story short, he/she/ze tore through my shields and very nearly destroyed me. Luckily, I was the one using weapon folding.

It had a golem pet too but it got one shot.

Sadly it mostly just spammed the weak light spell that blinds (but didn't blind me) and channel staff. Note that it had over 6k hp at full life (that was after a night shade trap or something).

Once I got into the farportal, I found myself in a maze filled with Honey Trees and Horrors. Which, incidentally, is the name of my favorite tabletop RPG. There were also a fair number of orcish soldiers skulking about. It was fairly desolate and vacant, but I managed to collect some of the more eldritch ingredients on my shopping list, so overall it was quite a win.

The portal back was guarded by a skeleton warrior, who really was quite the pushover. I tore him to shreds without him touching me. But I'll include his portrait just for the sake of thoroughness.

In the far lands of Lelithad I discovered a strange creature.

Lelithad itself is an odd place. It resembles our own underground forests, with squishy fungal vegetation as far as the eye could see, but it possessed many large clearings wherein there were burrowed tree people and spiders. Spiders of all types! Spitting, chitinous, black widow, you name it. There were also bees and honeytrees, at times.

None of which explains the White Jelly corruptor/anorithil I encountered.

It spent our whole skirmish trying to drag me to the fearscape, but it couldn't get a good enough grip, so I hacked it to pieces.

Hohan was a dessert dimension with open plains interspersed with hive-like dirt columns that were nigh impossible to navigate. For you or I, that is. It was full of undead and elementals who could pass through solid matter, and what I can only assume was a slave-caste of trolls. This was their queen. We had a passionate affair that ended in violence.

Being a sun paladin, she liked to show nearby minions she meant business by blowing them up with Sun Bursts. She also established barriers and fled quite intelligently when I began to defeat her, but she couldn't escape my superior speed boots.

A dessert dimension? How sweet...

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

[darkgod]

Need!

[Final Master]

Okay, I have to ask. Why do so many of these have a negative resist all value?

[edge2054]

Okay, I have to ask. Why do so many of these have a negative resist all value?

Only one of them does so I'm guessing the reason is lack of morning coffee.

[TheRani]

Maybe it was low on hate?

[Tasseographer]

By far the most obnoxious Farportal opponent I've found, this one was an umber hulk... in a maze-like zone... who was using a very powerful artifact bow that allowed it to use pinning shot more quickly... who was also a shadowblade, using teleportation whenever I got too close.

[DMT]

Damn! If only I'd known about this thread when I encountered my unique brittle clear ooze boss.
