Defending starspawn in the gate

[Taqwus]

Regarding luck, during an wackily long single-player game as R'lyeh, I got my first and only Void Gate summoner to 60+ summoning skill without guards; just the use of Returning and Ritual of Return to keep him safe, and Gift of Health to erase afflictions (once lost an eye to a Greater Otherness, once or twice feebleminded by a partly-successful summons). Luck +3, Poger's 'Luck' mod as the only mod in use.

Hi,

Those items that provide extra beings help too. I had a successful spawn (L22, didn't die for the course of the game once he replaced my first guy) and I gave him that pact item that gives you imps and a full kit of choice items, like Charcoal Shield.

I didn't realize that you could use Guard Commander like this, I thought units always entered sites alone, reguardless of bodyguards.

It also helped that he had some death magic, so he'd cast some summons, creating more fodder.


Ciao,
