MALDAR: ACT II, FINALE
![[Image: Maldar2_summoner.jpg]](http://www.idiom.com/~gmonsen/diablo/Maldar2_summoner.jpg)
The hardest part about the summoner was getting to him. Once Maldar found him, it was a simple matter to bone prison him and cast bone spirits at him. The bone prison stopped a couple of the Summoner's glacial spikes and the bone spirits killed him in 5-6 shots. Like I said in Gunter's writeup, the Summoner can dish it out, but he can't take it.

Tal Rasha's Tomb had Ghoul Lords, Gorebellies, and Scarabs. This was a really easy draw, because it was easy to run past everything. There weren't any ghost boss packs to deal with and no Hollow One/skeleton packs clogging up hallways. I found the staff chamber fairly quickly and stuck the staff in it. I was scared. How would Maldar do solo against the infamous hell Duriel?

OK, I lied. I wasn't scared at all, because I'd already done this in nightmare difficulty. I immediately spammed Bone Prison on Duriel to stop him dead in his tracks and then cast a barrage of bone spirits at him. There was nothing Duriel could do and after quaffing 5-6 blue potions, Maldar killed Duriel without any trouble.

Maldar returned to Lut Gholein but when Maldar told the citizenry his news, the celebrations were muted. The people were happy to know that the evil that had plagued their fair city was vanquished, but the knowledge that Diablo had managed to free his brother caused a spectre of fear to fall upon their hearts.
Now that Diablo had freed Baal, Drognan suspected that he would head toward the temple city of Kurast where it had been rumored that Diablo's other brother, Mephisto, had established a base of power. Maldar and Cain decided that they would travel there themselves and see if they could stop Diablo and his brothers' plans before it was too late. Jehryn ordered the sea captain Meshif to take Maldar and Cain to Kurast, and Meshif was only too happy to oblige for his ship had been impounded at the docks during the time of crisis in case there was a need for an evacuation of the city. Meshif was grateful to be allowed to leave.
Maldar bid everyone in Lut Gholein a fond fairwell and boarded Meshif's boat, which would take him to Kurast. What adventures lay in store for him there?
