I didn't even know this cave/encounter existed until today... and, whew. Yikes! I found the caves with my rogue while putzing around, and thankfully I was in stealth when I wandered through that big ominous looking red barrier
Knowing full well what would happen if I tried anything on my rogue, I logged on my Monk/Cleric/SF and ran back to give the Lich and Wheeps some love...
First impression: Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.
After fully warding, and bringing out my Epic Dragon Knight summon to play, I was astounded to see how deadly those Wheeps are. I managed to silence the Lich off the get-go, then ran back out of his line of sight while the Wheeps lay a beating on me. My dragon summon was dead within 20 seconds but, thanks to healing potions and some fire'y fisting, was able to take them down. The Lich didn't try and run out of the silenced zone, otherwise I might have been in real trouble. So, after whomping him(and getting a pile of garbage loot, because... hey, it's only a Lich!) I figured I was in the clear to get the hells out of there. Hah. Haaaaaaaahahahah. Right. All I can say is: thank frick those ancient mummies are so slow I ran in circles casting everything I had left just, and it all just bounced right off them. Implosion, sunbeam, hammer of the gods... useless. I got one down to half HP, but had to flee because they were smacking me around like a piñata, landing hits on Every. Single. Attack.
I'm curious... what the hell kind of hit-dice and AB/AC might those Wheeps and Mummies have? And, as a cleric, what should I be using on those mummies? Undeath to death maybe(this is my first time playing an epic cleric)?
This encounter was, quite handily, one of the nastiest and challenging(as well as fun) things I have ever run into on this game. Whoever dreamed up this encounter, kudos... you sadist. lol.
