Anti-Horror Strategies
So your pretender, prophet, or favorite hero got horror marked, eh? Quelle horreure! What do you do to ensure survival? Everybody share your tips on surviving this unfortunately common occurrence....
My tips:
1. 10 wyverns set as bodyguard, plus ring of warning. You are defending, they fly, so they will attack it first. If it is a lesser horror, they might kill it before it can attack.
2. Gloves of the gladiator attack 4 times. Boots of quickness doubles that. If you can survive the first round of attacks, you should be able to kill it if you have high attack skill and decent strength (12/12).
3. Twice-born.
Possibilities:
Bell of Cleansing--does this consider Horrors to be demons?
The Ark. Anybody try this?
The Ankh. Anybody?
Wraith Crown. Anybody?
Spell, spell, spell, spell. Any suggestions for spells?

Not with Ring of Warning, allows 10 bodyguards, also gives +10 patrol bonus. Good little item for 5A gems. |

Re: Anti-Horror Strategies
Petrify will either kill or paralyze the horror, should be pretty sure to win with that.

Re: Anti-Horror Strategies
Returning and Ritual of Returning (if you can survive a hit) are obvious escape routes. The problem then is remembering to change the scripting before planned battles. Seeing your best mages teleporting out of a critical fight on the first turn is always disappointing...

Re: Anti-Horror Strategies
Does giving blood slaves help? Ive given them to assassins even if they cant use them as gems though I havent actually tested yet to see if they get targeted.

Re: Anti-Horror Strategies
I think misfortune and magic scales attract more horrors than normal. So order 3 drain 3 misfortune 2 MA Ulm/LA Man would mean fairly few horror attacks with no real disadvantage.

Re: Anti-Horror Strategies
Anyone try purposefully horror marking bodyguards so they have a chance of being attacked as well? Can that be done?
