Now's a good a time as any to kill him. Heading over to the lesser vault, we find a familiar face: And there are much stronger bolts out there. If we had some standard Bolts (1d5) (+10,+10), they'd be doing, on average, 154 damage/shot. Against monsters that don't resist fire, we'll be getting an x7 multiplier on each shot, which is incredible. Very nice - a stat stick in bow form! And honestly this is an amazingly strong bow, too, especially with that built-in brand. His drop: a (Defender) Rapier, Adamantite Plate Mail, and this: Within short order, he's running away, and the fight is basically won. He catches us with melee a few times, and burns some of our books, so we only have 2 copies each of books #2 and #4, but we can cope. He does breathe fire, once, but only once he's mostly dead through all our protection he only deals about 20 damage to us. The Balrog of Moria has 3000 HP, meaning we'll need around about 25 Orbs to kill him.

Even while "sprinting" (from our Crown's activation) we're only at +12 speed. Oh wait, the Balrog of Moria moves very quickly. We could swap in our Mace that gives immunity to fire, but that would lose us 4 points of WIS, which we need to hit a 0% failure rate. Just, let's stay out of melee range, okay? We Blink away, and haste up and cast Resist Heat & Cold. Well, this is as good a time as any to kill this guy. Silly me, forgetting to check for monsters. You are enveloped in flames! One of your Holy Books of Prayers was destroyed! The Balrog of Moria misses you. There's still a lesser vault on this level that we'd like to clear - it has a couple of Potions of Restore Mana in it, and it never hurts to have more of those. Last time, we cleared out a greater vault and found a few interesting items - most importantly, a Rod of Detection, a Rod of Identify, and a Cap of Telepathy.
