Shoals is one of my most favorite branches overall, partially because it looks so good

From a pure flavour standpoint, it doesn't really make sense for large rocks to penetrate. Doing damage would require the rock to expend its energy and slow down. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KcaDYsAudo (It's the same concept, but with high mass instead of high speed) While this wou...

Turned into a YASD. I went down to Elf and got banished multiple times (probably should have bothered to wear mres after the first time eh?) But Xom teleporting me deep into the Elf:3 ending vault is what really got me into trouble. I probably didnt handle it very well (tried to teleport out instead...

Thanks for the graphs those are great :D Also my Fighting skill is in the dump ;) Right now my Fighting is at 15.1 and SBl at 14.0 How much does Str and Dex add in to this? 18/19 respectively if it's particularly relevant. Oh also it's a short sword of freezing. I guess we can assume a good brand on...

Thanks for the advice all! I have been using stealth mostly since my last post, though unlike some of my other stabbers this one can just eviscerate them in normal combat just as easily thanks to Newtslayer (Awesome artifact name btw :D) How long and how much skill investment will it take to get lon...

So a quick update, um, I think I broke the RNG somehow. I updated the dump with my new loot all found within 3 new dungeon levels, including: a +5,+11 Short sword of freezing with +Str (and rF-... but still +11!) a +8,+5 Vampiric Scimitar {SInv} and a ring of invisibility (Xom's treat :D) and +2 glo...

Sometimes I like to run a few CKs in between more serious characters just to see where the combined whims of Xom and the Dungeon take me. This one seems particularly promising, barring Xom killing me off (possible) or my own stupidity (more likely :D) Lets see all before Lair Xom has saved my life, ...

Awesome read so far

I've lurked a while around here and always enjoyed reading your adventures!

I have a soft spot for Ds too

It would sure be nice to have a non-gimmicky dwarf.

Thanks for the replies everyone. things are working as designed here. This is in fact why I posted this thread in game design discussion, to get an idea of the design choices behind this vault. I am glad, however that you mentioned the depth of the vault, as I would contest that this vault is depth ...

Perhaps "no-brainer" wasn't the best choice of words, but even the solutions you gave rely on items that I'm not guaranteed to have. (invisibility evocable, wand or book, digging wand or book) I can agree that this isn't a bad thing in itself, but this early in the game I see it as a probl...

Why pain http://i44.tinypic.com/aes2tj.png Seriously, though, this vault is a little silly. It violates the "no-brainer" portion of the design philosophy as the best course of action would be to return with a wand of digging or similar to bypass the vault. Either that or it violates the &q...

I'm playing a VpEn myself at the moment, loads of fun. I've managed to stab most uniques that I've encountered, including Erica, Harold, Nessos, and most fortunately Mara :) Sleeping right next to the stairs she (he? it?) was. Replace Tukima's Dance in your strategy with Shadow Creatures and you hav...

I probably should have summoned an angel. Or even cleansing flame probably would have killed Aizul he was so low. Not used to TSO (or just hasty, more likely)

Hm strange since I even said Og in the OP. Fixed.

Also updated to YASD at the hands of Aizul. Not even OOD or anything just underestimated him. He must be really high EV.

Just for the EV? Even with the troll armour's regen? Why?

My thinking was that EA scrolls don't do much in helping me survive while sitting in my inventory. That few extra AC really helps that early IMO. Of course it would be better on the MDA, but hey better to go with the sure thing for me. Also that I will generally find all the ?EA I need in extended a...

Bolstered by my 15-rune MuSu win, I wanted to do extended with something that doesn't have to hide behind a wall of summons xD (I wonder what the mass of 10-15 dragons would be... literally a wall of meat!) Early game has always been tough for me with Og, but that is probably always an Og thing (May...

I got the GDA in Vaults:8. What would a better option be? Probably looting more EA scrolls. I was in a hurry though I wanted that win

The battleaxe probably was my best weapon at that point, if only because most of the dangerous things in Lair got slowed by the freezing. I still took down hydras with wand spam before the speed got up though. I never had a crystal plate armour generated for me, though I don't know that I would have...
