Thanks for the advice guys! I decided on going for shoals:4. Have cleared probably 50% of the level and got the rune. Statue form down to 70% fail. I'll finish this off then look at tackling Frances I think; or diving past Jorgrun to d:15. Hopefully then I'll be reasonably close to having statue for...

Hmmm, not sure what to do now. I have: Shoals:4 Snake:3 (With Bai Suzhen and her two Hydras, so that's a definite no) Elf:1 D:13 on (With Frances and Jorgrun) I might try and do some of elf, see if I can get statue form up which would allow me to do snake and shoals with a lot more comfort. Dungeon ...

yeah I looked for wiz and +int items but there aren't any

Hopefully I'll find one!

So you think 14 int is fine for Statue form? Is there some kind of table where I can see what level skill I'll likely need to get it castable?

So I got to D:14 and saw Jorgrun and ran away. Went for shoals, I’m down to shoals:2 now and found statue form, yay! However, I derped and didn’t put any points into int. Am i going to be able to focus training enough to get it castable do you think, without dying because my other skills are lacking...

Lol at the attempted suicide. Glad you managed to win through it! How do I tell how many games I have won? I genuinely have no idea. I think I have a couple of 15 runes (I remember a DEFE and a GrFi back when gargoyles were stupid strong) and probably single digits of single rune wins, but I honestl...

Also, should I use shield of the gong for tomb? +18 is really nice, and I'm probably going to be fire storming the crap out of everything anyway; So noise isn't an issue!

I'm going to re-visit this game and finally finish it.

I'm thinking one night next week, UK time. Anyone up for watching? any experienced players up for giving tips?

. Let me know what night suits, I'm pretty wide open!

P.s I'm scared of Frances! I'm wondering if I should retreat and do snake for a bit to get finesse back up...

So, I've been wanting to win an OpTm of Chei for a long time now, but I keep failing miserably. I think the Tm starting book isn't that useful... Sticks to snakes is very useful, but once you are into mid game its use is limited. Blade hands damage is nice, but the lack of a shield with it active I ...

I haven't read the rest of the posts, but it takes 2 turns to ascend stairs?

How about changing it so that "if the monster can be next to you within two turns, it follows you upstairs" ?

That would present increased difficulty but would be less of a radical change.

Bad choices got me killed. Should have healed or reset to kill a single spriggan rider instead of trying to kill it in one hit from 19hp or so...

Things I’m observing: -Shafts are perceived to not cause unavoidable deaths, but instead present an increased challenge that good players should be able to deal with -Shafts present a disproportionally larger increase in challenge when encountered early Compared to later -Difficulty is not a bad thi...

Whoops, I missed the word “form” from his post! I’ll be using Ice form a fair bit anyway I guess, Because Hydras and blade hands is a bad idea, and cold blooded monsters get slowed. Although I suppose that Ice form would actually represent a reduction in DPS due to lack of aux attacks. Can anyone co...

Hmmm... No rPois in the whole game... that’s a bit rough! Any bright ideas? I’m acutely aware of how squishy I am

I think shafts are ok, but every now and then they are not ok. Getting shafted 3 floors from D:2 has happened to me a few times. As has getting shafted on D3 and then getting shafted again trying to get back upstairs. IMO we need to: -Decrease probability of shafting if player has recently been shaf...

Well here we go, the next installment. I've found a medium shield that I'm training for and done a few other bits. Cleared Orc:2 and d:15. Next is the swamp I guess?! Any comments or suggestions? I feel quite powerful offensively but still quite squishy... which is to be expected I guess. I'll proba...

Bolt of fire and iron shot.

I never bother with magma. Iron shot will carry you against resistant stuff until you are strong enough not to care, or have LCS.

So I won :) It’s been a while coming but finally made it. This character was pretty powerful, ended up with a lot of mutations but still fun.

So, I have my 3 runes and am just running through Zot now. Shame I didn't get chance to finish this game during the tournament for a few more points! Throwing strong, my eveningstar and whip are strong, I have loads of HP and AC. I got a mutation which gave me no regen and random berserk. I quaffed ...

Hey guys, I've wanted to win (And thus far failed to get a single rune!) on an OPTm of Chei. However, I'm finding this character quite powerful and have high hopes. Currently trying to get BVC up and running as its justs ridiculous. I'm finding pretty much everything is dying with a single attack if...

Thanks for all of the advice guys! I've almost finished lair. I'm wondering now... Do I have a go at Vaults:5 - or can I just safely roll over most of crypt for a bit more XP to get me through V:5 more safely? Currently training shields so I can use this: x - the +6 large shield of Gozag's Wrath {+B...

Hey Guys, This games on Underhound. My first Sif Muna character in a while (That I can remember) I normally play Vehumet - But I'm really enjoying the +Cast Sif Muna power. Just coming to the end of lair, trying to get spellforged servitor up. A little worried that I'm lacking defensive skills for i...

In vaults:2, dropped by a yaktaur.

Code:: E - 2 fuming ruby potions As you read the scroll of identify, it crumbles to dust. E - 2 potions of experience

I think 1 of them is +3 and one is +2 right now, but I have 8 enchant scrolls. I think I’ll max out the demon whip and then use the rest on the eveningstar and keep it for high AC/demonic/undead things (E.g if i see Boris) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.24.0-13-gcf9b3192b9 (webtiles) character f...

Simple question really. All else being equal, +9 demon whip of electrocution or +9 eveningstar of holy wrath?

3 rune game. MiMo in CPA, no spells and 25 STR.

I’m thinking eveningstar, am i right?

not had much chance to play guys but hoping for a win on my current MiMo.

Check the characters in progress forum as I'd like some tips to maximise my success!

Can't believe Mopl won a game in less time than its taken me to finish orc and lair! You go guys!

P.s Javelins are stupidly powerful. Make sure to try them sometime. Honestly think they are possibly more powerful than my mace even with low throwing skill.

I didn't copy out the game code but it was something along the lines of (From the start of the fight): You throw the silver javelin at the Cyclops The silver javelin hits the Cyclops The centaur warrior shoots an arrow at you! The arrow gets reflected by an invisible force around you The centaur war...

Hi Guys, I started this character for the 0.24 tournament, but due to personal issues I didn't have time to finish it in the tournament time frame. It's still going though! A few questions on a MiMo i'm running. Whats better, this (Considering I have 6 enchant weapon scrolls to blow): A - a +2 morni...

I appreciate that... What I was saying was I'm not saying it does, I'm just pretty sure it did; and my game logs seem to imply that... But I honestly can't remember!

"Monster refuses to move out of the way" should not cause a turn to pass. I can't be 100% certain... but... You block the centaur's attack. The centaur refuses to make way for you. (Use ctrl+direction or * direction to attack.) The centaur hits you! * * * LOW HITPOINT WARNING * * * You bl...

Interesting that Frenzy isn't the same as Berserk. Makes sense. Seems the Wiki is just wrong. In that case, shooting while Frenzied is fine - but I think the interface could be improved. If you try and attack an affected monster, it just says it refuses to move out of the way for you, and that monst...

So, it seems to me it would be good to: -Update description of needles of Frenzy to remove the reference to making the monster neutral. Neutral monsters do not attack unless attaked first, AFAIK. This Centaur turned on me the instant everything else was dead. Current text: Frenzy: Causes living crea...

Hi Guys, Just posting here first as I'm not sure what the expected behaviour should be (having never used frenzy needles or Dartura darts before) but this seems a little off to me. I suspect the documentation is just misleading... I saw a group of orcs and a centaur. I threw a datura dart at the cen...

I've been useless.

First game got owned by Urug as a DEFE. Second game found a +11 mace on D3 which carried me easily until I died to hubris. Third game I died as soon as entered lair because I forgot Axes + Hydras is a bad idea.

f*** Urug and her stupid Javelins. Bye Bye promising DEFE lol.

I also enjoy an Octopode; but probably won't play any here - as you don't get anythin if you splat, do you?

Hmmmm.. I just started this game tonight. I definitely have that line in my RC, and I am playing the 0.24 version (not trunk) Can you see me?

Does it matter which server I play on? I added that line to my rc on underhound.eu. Bear in mind Ive never even looked at a tournament before until I posted in this thread. I can play the game, but I have no idea how the other stuff works so I apologise in advance for my stupidity! What do I need to...

Ive been called into work so cant make this anymore

Ill arrange it again soon, sorry to be a pain!

Is it took late to join? I've never done a tournament before. What do you have to do? How does it work?

How's Thursday night, 20:00 UK time?

14 sounds high to me.

I don't have a whole load of wins under my belt, but when I do win, I'd say I get an average of about 3 or 4 amnesia scrolls.

More than likely be the weekend. Possibly Saturday day - if not next week more than likely!

If you can't make Saturday thats fine, I'll wait for you!

What time zone are any potential spectators in?

Im in the UK

I agree on goldifying food, for the pure reason that "Couldnt pick up item, ignore?" on chunks is often a reason for my autoexplore to stop.

Sorry mate! Things gone crazy at work. Not sure when I'll get around to this! But will try and post here with a bit of notice.

No concrete plan. Maybe tomorrow night... When works for you?

I've had this game going for months so in no rush to finish, I'll play when you can watch if you want to!

Things that are here: a +0 pair of gloves of archery; a +2 helmet a - a +2 helmet Wear which item? (? for menu, Esc to quit) You start putting on your armour. You continue putting on your +2 helmet. x4 You finish putting on your +2 helmet. Fixed it! Tomb scares me. Ive done it offline with a simila...

So, after XTA failure I thought I'd lost this game. It seems to be randomly somehow back up and the game is active again. Just Tomb to do now, which scares the shit out of me frankly. And words of advice before I take the plunge? Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.22.2-1-ge965b3aba3 (webtiles) chara...
