Hi JoeMolley

Thanks for the compliment.

Yup. Vale of Ruin was challenging to say the least. However, I have to admit, I think that the Alter of Shadows or Shadow Ruins (whichever is the correct term) was MUCH more confusing. Although, besides fire breathing critters in the Vale, I found the stairs dungeon to be quite challenging for sure.

Unfortunately for me, it looks like it's all over but the crying for this character.
I have 3 different saves prior and 2 after setting the blood vile in the Unholy Arc; have run around; gone camping; killed crap loads of creatures etc etc, and still can't get the succubus to come down.
So I guess I will have to start all over with a new character.
However, I am pissed enough that I won't do it again until there are sufficient patches to fix all the bugs in this game. It is too depressing to have made it this far and now fail.
I am not even getting attacked any more. During an entire night, all I had were two trees attack me. Pretty boring.

Anyway, I thank you once again for the compliments. I see your stats are nothing to sneeze at either.
I tried this game with some friends at a LAN party 2 weeks ago (my first time). It was a hoot. Maybe someday we can hook-up online for some gaming action.

Tiger out !
