And I naturally died. Ghost crab on Swamp 3 just would not die, and I'd already burned through my ?blink, !hw, and was down to 1 !curing. Didn't read ?tele early enough, since I'd already killed 3 or 4 ghost crabs without any trouble. Once again my broken risk meter gets me killed.

I've been mostly hubris-splatting DEFE lately, but a couple forum threads inspired me to splat a few DrTm as well. I've generally been getting through Lair, and usually Orc, before I get in over my head somewhere on one of the S:$ levels. This one, on the other hand, has felt much squishier nearly t...

Running a DECj, finished Lair. Veh tossed Poisonous Cloud my way, followed by Ignite Poison, so I figured I'd give it a try, hoping to see giant fields of flame decorated with orc torches. Unfortunately, it's not working - the clouds from Poisonous Cloud don't ignite. The clouds from Meph do ignite,...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*breath*OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Zot 1-4 was cake-ish; one encounter with an ancient lich, one OOF who helpfully died in 2-3 iron shots, and nothing else of any notable difficulty. Inv...

Now, this amulet changes my idea though. It says it's a "finger necklace" so does this mean the rings actually do go on the characters fingers? If so, why can't most characters wear 10? (Other than the fact that it would be game breaking) The usual roguelike explanation is that the magica...

The other two down stairs are in an isolated, very small chunk of Depths:4. I can just make out bits of it, thanks to Ash's faux mapping, but it's small enough I'd end up wasting a lot of ?tele trying to get there. Of course, I just realized I have CTele... *headdesk* See, that's the advantage to ha...

Tried out the PDA for Swamp:1-4 and Spider:1-5 and didn't like it. :( My AC and EV were essentially swapped from where they are now (38/9, iirc), but I felt a ton squishier, and I had a total of two castable spells. I think the big problem is my STR of 4; armour skill just didn't do enough to offset...

I'll try out the PDA. It looks like that might give me a boost to Armour skill instead of Stealth/Dodging, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. I guess with my apts in those, I shouldn't complain. I'm still worried about other (non-MR) resists, though. Time to make my burnt offerings to ...

Been playing around with enchanters since I keep hubris-splatting Be and FEs lately and figured the "I'm fragile as heck" playstyle might have some good lessons for me. After a couple more hubris-splats (who needs to retreat upstairs from a pair of swamp dragons, a pair of hydras, and some...

Well, make that YASD now, with a couple extra sides of stupid. Ran into a deep elf demonologist, got surrounded and smited down to ~40hp, ?tele into the room across the hall with three vault foo who all shout, not coincidentally attracting the attention of the elf and his summoned friends along with...

I wasn't aware the whip was so good. My melee characters typically end up as pincushions or getting smited to death from max range. I tried wielding it when I got it and couldn't for some reason or other. ISTR something about eating before using vampiric weapons or something...time to hit learndb. D...

After losing my 3rd DEFE in a row after clearing 95% of Shoals 5 for the 3rd time in a row, I decided I needed a change of pace. My GrBe is currently level 18, has just cleared Shoals, and has been down as far as D:20 (although that was getting a bit sketchy what with the deep elf foo showing up en ...

Well, that could have gone better. Shoals wasn't as horrible as it could have been. Got down to Shoals 5, killed the unique there, and should have read ?blink or ?tele immediately. A mermaid came up and mesmerized me at the same time one of 2 water elementals engulfed me, while other merfoo filled i...

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Blink or Haste. I can get Swiftness along with Repel Missiles and Flight, and eventually Deflect Missiles. Hopefully books with the good spells will show up...somewhere along the way. I'll probably end up forgetting Bolt of Cold; I grabbed it because Veh couldn'...

Yep, been raising Dex every time since I hit 8 INT. Right now, the troll/mottled question is a moot point, since it appears I have no enchant armour scrolls. Meh. I found the flaming polearm a bit before i hit lair, and it was better than the +5,+1 great mace of protection I was using up to that poi...

Blargh...got through L:8 without any problems, although the obligatory pack of death yaks was annoying, and the pack (flock? herd?) of fire drakes put a bit more hurt on my canine friends than I'd anticipated. Stumbled on an amulet of faith, which would have been handy about 5* ago... Had the Hell e...

It does, and on acidic and rotten chunks as well.

Awesome! I guess I won't be quite so quick to discard those offensive-smelling chunks, then.

5) Once I find Vehu's altar, join up with him. I appreciate he's the best for a pure Cj style but sometimes crawl makes it REALLY inconvenient to get the god you want. Consider Kiku as an alternative, it's a surprisingly good synergy and your first book is at 1*. Nothing high level in that first bo...

I'm kind of in a similar bind with DECj. I recently came back to Crawl, having played back in the 0.8-0.9 days. No wins, although I took a MiDK to XL27 before I YASD'd him. My strategy so far has been: 1) Turn off everything except spellcasting and conj. Focus conj. 2) Once I hit lvl 2, grab Throw F...
