Famine to Feast

[Zechnophobe]

I am currently working on a No loss impossible run with Paladin (My first try was successful on hard, and now I'm going to Paladin, which I think is generally the hardest No Loss class).

This was probably the most brutal game I've played so far, as I got almost nothing of any value up until Verona. Target was my only awesome spell... but I had only the 1 green dragon (Including verona!) to use it on. No cyclopses on Bola, No Trolls anywhere. My only good item (which is PRETTY good) is the twinkling boots. Found those fairly early on, but they only really shine in the mid to late game anyway.

Well, to skip a long story of hard work... I finally get to Dersu Island and sneak around to find the La Crosse Shield! (Finally some troops!). Further more, late in the game (level 3 I have just plundered from Reha:

1) The full Scale set
2) A second Slippery Cuirass
3) Sandal's of the Martyr
4) Timeback
5) Helm of Chaos

Sadly I cannot equip both cuirass' AND the scale set at the same time. But I still have 5+15+10+20= 50 base physical resistance. My Black dragons have 70 physical, and 85 Fire, 95 Magical.

What an amazing turn-around. Had to kick Jimmy to the curb though for a companion who could better use the loot I'd found (Still have decided to finish up with Trigger or Agvares.)
