It certainly took long enough, but finally Morgoth goes down :) This character had very little luck shopping but plenty of luck in the dungeons...about the only major item he bought were the boots of speed which he doesn't use anyway. I may put on the Massive Iron Crown and mess around hunting for the rings of power, but the challenge for this character is probably just about over. Hopefully the formatting doesn't get too screwed up on this char dump:
