I think I just pulled off a minor miracle. I just finished Bolo, completely, on the first visit (debir-scarlet-bolo).
The only way this could happen, is because I found the +2 attack, +2 Defense gloves, since it let me do the arena fight against Yakivik. Also, I DUG UP a Target scroll that let me defeat the robot (Magic shield + target +stoneskin on Cyclopses barely lasted all the way to the end of the fight to keep his 200ish repair droids from massacre-ing me).
Was quite an endeavor I must say. I used 1 (later 2) cyclopses, Engineers, repair droids, 4 archmages, and 1 runemage.
I have to admit the Runemage is a little better than I gave it credit for the first time. The utility of a weak Summons + strong ressurect really keep things moving.
Arrived at Rusty with 3500 Leadership (Grand Strategy +1000). I should walk away from here with 2 Green Dragons, unless something goes horribly wrong. Since I've now got a pretty darn slick fighting force, I should be able to do all the non-hero fights here with ease.
