ME2950-Help on Encounters From: Gloom@msn.com (Aaron Loomis) Date: Fri, 20 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0000 I have the two following encounters and have heard no answers that can win. I am playing the Free and have mid to high level mages at each encounter alone. Durin's Bane, the Balrog I can: Mention SAURON's name APOLOGIZE for intrusion ATTACK the Balrog (not the best choice for character at this time) tell a STORY about getting lost OFFER Balrog money or artifacts BOW down to Balrog FLEE Any facts out there? A little different than the standard 1650 Balrog The next encounter is the Pukel guardian, but I do not know the weakness. I have stealth , so maybe steal, no agent skill though. cave with oblong block of stone engulfed in transparent blue glow I can: attack PHYSICALLY to drive off guardian attack MAGICALLY to dispel wards creep silently and REMOVE item leap forward and STEAL item WAIT and see if shimmering dissapears declare ALLEGIANCE say_________ FLEE Any facts on this one out there. My Mouth of Sauron source can not be found Thanks in advance gloom@msn.com Referenced By Up
