Spent the whole afternoon fighting a desperate battle... but I succeeded. I beat the Black Gate :)

I'm sure you know that riddle drove me nuts - it's a pretty bittersweet thing. An idiom. As a linguist and translator I liked it, but as a player I found it slow and painful to figure out. Ironically, some of my first guesses were "snow", "mist" and "wind"... but it took me a long time to hit upon "rain". You can bet I won't forget this phrase anytime soon!

The dungeon itself was kind of bland - just grey walls and some waterways. I got to explore the entire first level because the exit room was the last to find (pretty devious). But I had more luck on the second floor and found the Hammer pretty quickly (the key was held by a Golem). And now I have the location of the volcanic Dagoth-Ur, which has absolutely nothing to do with Tolkien's Mordor and Barad-dur :P

Other developments - I got an Adamantium Saber (still looking for Ebony, though), currently at level 20 (yaaaay) and ready for more hot action. Soon ;)
