So there she is: Irena, the Vanquisher Ironwoman She has just killed Brink. A random vendor helped some, she bought regenerating gem - 2 hp per second! and 12 lvl 2 health potions. She uses needle arc as main offensive.



Now I see puting regeneration gem into a hammer was not optimal choice

Past the Sisters.

[EinJin]

I'm impressed that you got past the sisters! Keep going!

[Riw]

Overseer is a history.

Why are there so few scrolls of identify.

[BlastTyrant]

I'm impressed that you got past the sisters! Keep going!

From my experience, the sisters are pretty easy. Not sure about how a Vanquisher would handle them, but my Alchemist didn't need any pots the whole fight. The Overseer, on the other hand...

[Riw]

Irena died in Estherian Ruins level 10, at level 10, to a critical greenish ball hit from unique enchanter

[MrVamp]

I'm about to start a run like this with a vanquisher. I'll keep you guys updated with pictures from my gaming sessions if you want.

Reading these Ironman posts with interest, since I'm just starting out on my VH/HC characters after fiddling with easy a bit to get an idea of things.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any mod that can actually remove the vendors? This would be similar to Angband Ironman mode, where the shops are permanently shut. Or can it be done? I'd be interested in looking into modding this if possible.

The quests would be permitted, but not the vendors. And yes, I have beaten both Angband and Nethack :=)
