I want to know what's happening on Mount Olympus!

It involves captain morgan, coke(not the white kind) and StumbleUpon.

Yeah, I imagine you tripped the timer.

Does it grant a swanky car and templar knights for protection?

Grimm wrote:Sure, but that's the worst one. That and the urge to play the bongos.

Or the djembe.

Most hipsters I know play that instead.

Perhaps so, but he's probably too busy diddling the help to pay us much mind...

The benefit of having money and hired goons is he doesn't need to be unoccupied to do so.

If you wanna defeet a newt, just use something capable of chopping.

The centaurs rarely bug me. It's the large groups of centaur warriors that do the trick. They also always show up when I'm halfway into a room too...

The irony. XD

Indeed. The concepts of shops in this game are fairly well balanced considering you have to have gold to get things, and the only way to get gold is to traverse the dungeon.

Or a large shield and above? :3

That'd be ridiculous. I've never had a stomach growl or have heard one that would wake people up or alert them from more than 3 feet away...

Bows get some bonus damage from strength I believe, unlike crossbows. So starting out as a weak character strength wise means it'll be difficult early on. But, the further you go, the easier it gets. As with most classes that start out weak.

Everyone should feel free to use wizard mode or "cheat" as they please. Sure, anyone can play the game as they like. But most players who try to save scum quickly realise that it makes the game less fun, not more. And that you're not really improving your playing skills as much when you c...

Yeah. I was just really excited to find an unrandart on D5. And a few squares away I found a randart as well. Though it was a pathetic thing. A cursed -2 chainmail with +3 to int.

I just picked up a Wyrmbane on D5. Playing a deep elf air elementalist. > .> Would it be worth it to train up polearms just to use this? I'm thinking no considering I'd have to have it at 12 just to get the best speed out of it, and I already have a staff of wizardry. And the -3 aptitude makes me cr...

Congrats on coming out alive. Look at it this way, you'll never go hungry again at least.

Thanks for all that. I really just play random characters. I don't take the game THAT seriously. Half the time I'm drinking when I play. ^ -^ I've tried some of that, and sometimes, it's not so bad. This case was kinda unavoidable. I walked down the stairs, first thing that happened was poison dart,...

When you start as a hunter, you won't find ammo for your weapon on the first 3 levels of the dungeon.

I don't wanna jinx you. :3

If you play a Draconian, monsters will spawn with weapons of dragon-slaying roughly a hundred times more often (and many floors earlier) than when you're any other race. (Why yes, I DID recently lose a Draconian character on D:1 to a monster with a dragon-slaying weapon. Why do you ask?) Did they h...

Yeah I was coming to grips that I'd have to get rid of him eventually. I was handling elves real well. The summoners were no problem for me. But Nikola blinked a few squares away and hit me with chain lightning, and that just bounced between me and him till I was bacon... So are you saying I'm progr...

Yeah. I should've. But it was a lone creature of something I faced 3 at once and won with less than 1/4th health loss. I got cocky.

Grimm wrote:Orange Crystal Statues are probably the most dangerous.

I found that out the hard way on D5... XD There were 4 statues completely barring any possible passage through the two hallways they were guarding.

I've learned to never play around with statues, no matter how tasty the items look.

Whenever you play a fighter, you'll find many spell books before dungeon level 7. > .>
And no good weapons.

The ogre is too close now for your liking. The ogre shouts! The ogre is blasted. You smell fresh blood in the distance. You smell fresh blood in the distance. You smell fresh blood in the distance.

Ah k. Thanks. That's pretty harsh then. I've only gotten 3 mutations from glow before. And they were nasty. Faster Metabolism, less hp and reduced strength. I left that spellcaster in the dust.

Nevermind. Damn centaur warrior with his bow of frost got me... :/

This ring protects it's wearer from the loss of their strength, dexterity and intelligence. It affects your dexterity (+4). It protects you from negative energy. It increases your resistance to enchantments. It glows with mutagenic radiation. Is it worth it? You guys have any idea how bad the glow ...

I really wish I had been spoiled on that before going into that Ice Cave.

Whoa. Apparently most bears are like that. Thanks for the heads up lol.

Man. That sucks for you. The first book Sif gave to me was a tome of annihilations. Or a tome of summoning. I can't remember which was exactly second. At one point I also found this tome on D3. With a minotaur fighter. > .>

Well. The inspiration was that I had picked up a +4 +4 halberd of chopping or something like that. And was satisfied when I killed most everything in one hit. But I know I know, they're slow and inaccurate and you can't use a shield.

Mackerel wrote:A promising start, cut short too quickly.

Yeah. I wonder what kinda poison darts those were lol.

I started out a minotaur with the idea I was gonna get him a halberd. Made him a fighter. I start strolling through D1. Find a +2, +4 Elven Spear of Chaos. Finish D1. Climb downstairs. Get hit with a poison dart from a kobold. Retreat upstairs. Rest. See that I'm at 15 health. Quaff my potions. It's...

absolutego wrote:can't you tell from the character dump?

Well. This was early in my crawl experience. Very early. And I had a problem with ghosts. So. I kinda deleted my morgue folder in hoping that my 5 summoners wouldn't keep coming back to haunt me. =x

Well I got that far. When I PM it to Sequell it says request for FooTV and then beeps but nothing happens. I tried following the link to the FooTV at the top and I just get a blank white page. > .>

I can't figure out how to get it to play. :/ I've never used an IRC before sorry.

Sorry I kinda wanted to ask questions but not many of them felt necessary for a thread.

So I checked the knowledge bot when I met Rupert. It said: Henzell says... An evil crusader. Will "look more energetic" 2 turns after his berserk wears off (and promptly zerk again). Spells: paralyse, confuse, berserker rage. In 0.7, is generated with a good two-handed weapon. For laughs, ...

Ahhhh. That makes sense now. Oh and Rupert... I ran into him and he had a +2 +1 triple sword of slicing... I dunno what I'm gonna do without mephetic cloud later on. It was only thanks to that spell that I even killed him. Also: http://oi56.tinypic.com/2csa1oz.jpg Hehe. :) Wonder if he's any good li...

That Orc throwing runed hand axes. He's a lot more dangerous when they're hand axes of distortion and you get sent to the abyss... Seriously? Melee brands have no effect when the weapon is thrown. At least for the player, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for monsters. If you're positive that's wha...

Use your invisibility potion. Killer bees can't see invisible, right? You can just run away. And/or use your teleport scroll. Bees have a little trouble hitting things with your EV, so you'll probably live until it goes off. I just threw down on my swift and led them to a staircase with only one op...

Lair is nearly always easier than the dungeon level you enter it from. The Orcish Mines are nearly always harder than the Lair. Ah ok. That makes sense. Since nothing is going to be branding flaming swords or daggers of venom. And btw. http://oi51.tinypic.com/2cxiwwg.jpg Help. :(
