Argh.
So I have successfully completed no death/no restart in HC Kai series a couple of times now. I have been attempting to do a full ND/NR HC for books 1-12.
I have died a few times along the way, which is fine - that's to be expected. But last night, I was cruising along, made it to Book 6, entered the archery contest with Weaponsmastery in Bow, and scored a 1, 2, and 0. Grand total of 6. I didn't even pass the entry score to fight Alton for the Silver Bow. With a +3.
I mean, I didn't die, but that extra +3 on bow attacks is so useful, I felt it worth going back and starting from scratch just to get the bow.
I died a few more times before finally making it back to Book 6, where I won the contest handily. Great! Awesome!
I also discovered that Weaponsmastery in Broadsword gives me +3 with the Swerd, so I picked Bow, Broadsword, and Dagger, figuring I'd use the Dagger of Vashna in books 9-11 so I can avoid the horrible SS forced battles, and giving me the +3 for the CM in Book 11.
So I'm going along, joined up with the merc captain, and was looking through shops, including the secondhand weapons shop where I typically sell my second bow, any extra Weapons, and pick up extra arrows.
I'm looking at the list and I see a blue dot next to Daggers. Oh, I thought, I didn't realize I had an extra dagger to sell. I click the blue dot, giving me 1 Crown for the sale, and then the sinking feeling hits me. I check my Special Items list and discover I just sold the Dagger of Freaking Vashna to a second hand store for 1 Crown. No take backs. There goes my back up plan for books 9-11.
To quote Bill the Cat, "Ackppbbbbbbth!"
Time to restart...
