...Koanoak has the GD star!
For those who were at no fault (10 of you) I apologize for my outburst.
For those who stuck with our 2nd HoX attempt (Normal) and completed...THANK YOU! A guildy cleric has his Lorrik's Shield.
For the 1 (DB F-N S-Head) who opened MY NORMAL GD HOX run on HARD....well I hope my comments (that were very personal and to the point even without knowing who opened on a different difficulty than posted) hit home.
