Fate is a fickle bitch, as Croaker of Black Company used to say. I didn't expect to get to Phobos Arena third time this day, or anyway soon. And even if I would I promised myself that I wouldn't post third mortem in a day. And yet, here I am posting one... But then, what else can I do - RNG decided to prove me wrong so much that not only did I got my Captain rank, but I got with so much style bonus it's not even healthy :D
The idea was simple - I wanted to take a break from pistol using characters so I decided to take TaN/IM combo and use "anything I can lay my hands on" approach on weapons (which should kill me quick in AoLT, I thought). It all went surprisingly smoothly until Hell 6...
The dreaded arachnotron caves...
I survived but I was left with no armor, no meds, and almost no ammo...
So I go down to Hell 7... meet surprisingly no one fast, find invu globe, and an exit right after that.
Hell 8 - another arach caves, but the exit was 4 to 5 paces away... I sprinted
Hell 9 - I start exactly TWO steps from exit... I go down, plant a nuke and wait holding my breath - and lo and behold, it went off while I was still invulnerable... invulnerability went down few steps after that but it didn't really mattered by that point. My Marine took the exit down, planted second nuke I've been carrying for some reason (honestly don't remember when or why I picked it up - I think I might have found it after those arach caves), lighted one last cigarette and waited for the explosion with a wicked grin on his face. And thus JC met his end.
On a side note absolutly no uniques were generated on this run.
