So first up: ahahahaha, Imgur is now blocked in the UK, so I can't see my own pictures. That's ellipsis awesome. No idea where I'm going to post to replace them, WHATEVER.

(EDIT: I've rehosted the portraits onto Google Docs. While I was there, I added the portrait of Irime II I apparently completed, and drew a new one for Lavender I. The portraits are up to date!)

Secondly, I am back in the dungeon and reviving an old character: Celebestel III is a High Elf Mage, currently on character level 38 / dungeon level 51. Her predecessor back in the day hit CL 33 / DL 40, so we're already a lot deeper.

I'm not going to do a full character rundown, because that inevitably ends with me dying three minutes later, but she's doing okay. I've finally found the first dungeon-exclusive spellbook (and the second, on the same level), ending a LONG run of having to bounce between different elemental spells. Now I have Mana Bolt, though, which... Mana Bolt does 28d8 damage. My next most powerful attack, Acid Spray, does 19d8. Unless I encounter something weak to acid (not just 'does not resist'), Mana Bolt is better.

Celebestel III has taken a leaf from Gribblins' book: she has a Rod of Magic Mapping and a single spell, Detection, to see everything around her. She also has telepathy, currently from Theoden's axe, so she should never walk through a door into the face of an Ancient Dragon. She has both Banishment and Recharging as spells, and while her Stave of Speed blew up a while back, she's just found a Ring of +10 Speed that means she's finally able to match the monsters for speed.

Let's see how far she goes.
