Talk about dumb luck...
Am playing as imp Pala and have at lvl 9 have zero losses to date...BUT here's what i have in my game:
Found Demonologists on the second island
Found the shield that gives dragons sailing around Verona after kiting the navi scroll.
So, this all happened at lvl 5...i had 1 black dragon, 1 red dragon, 1 emerald dragon, demonologists and mages.
All of a sudden impossible doesn't seem that, well...impossible
cheers,
