Thanks! I didn't know that being brainless made you slow, and I've been brainless more than a few times.

Do you think viles have the same AI as deep troll earth mages? Do those have a way to sense you also?

However, without looking at it, it almost certainly wasn't killing monsters indefinitely. Score is based on three things: runes, time, and experience. In that order. Only, if I was giving them a ballpark percentage of how much they matter for your score, it would be something like 70% runes, 29% ti...

I've been wondering how chorus was able to get such a high score in zig sprint (trunk). My guess is that he was able to sit at the end holding the orb of zot for an indefinite amount of time killing orb spawns, given that Dj don't need to eat. I beat the sprint with a mummy in order to attempt the s...

Sar wrote:Elf 1 and 2 are actually not very safe.

In most of my recent games I've done elf 1 and 2 after lair. I usually don't encounter worse than elf priests there, and maybe an annihilator or demonologist once or twice in 10+ games. Am I just getting lucky? Genuinely curious about this.

Did you try elf 1 and 2? Those are usually pretty safe, if you keep tabs on what enemies can banish you. Your squishy ogre character in particular will have trouble with sharpshooters; and if you encounter Vashnia she might outright kill you in a few turns if your positioning is bad. Your forte is b...

Heh, nothing ruins your day like going through a pan portal and landing in the middle of hellion island.

Interesting, I was thinking that elec whip was a no-brainer but apparently people think otherwise so I may be lacking a brain.

Absolutely, it wasn't really that dangerous of a situation at all.

http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Xen/morgue-Xen-20140722-053549.txt So close! I could definitely have finished the ziggurat with this character. The strategy was to use teleport/blink+sanctuary on difficult floors, and it could definitely have worked with full piety and only a few more floors to go. Not...

Unable to move because I was mesmerized by two mermaids. And sometimes this happens in like real life...

The abyssal rune is pretty safe to go for if you have rmut, lots of teleportation, and restore abilities. More than 4 intelligence helps as well.

Crap! I should have done V5 with my +9 vampiric executioner's axe! The slaughter would have been legendary.

You seem to be missing most aux armor slots and your main armor could be much better...I'd say you should definitely acquire some armor.

I'd recommend clearing some of orc for loot and experience.

Could change wand of random effects to have infinite charges...

Wand of teleportation is always good to have, in case you get silenced or get blurry vision.

I consider spriggans to be the most dangerous monsters in the depths because of how fast they are. As a follower of chei you can instakill them with slouch if neccesary, so you're already in good shape for depths.

I learned a valuable lesson about respecting the danger of ancient liches this run. If it summons a fiend, death is potentially just one turn away (torment+iron shot).

I had a really good start this time, but died due to orc priest bullshit and forgetting to ID the scrolls in my inventory.

Found a +5 ring of slaying and boots of running by D3.

I have never played as a kobold. Not even once. Not sure why not...
Anyway this will be a first for me.

Damn those spriggans

Got skeletons of sigmund and crazy yiuf helping me out.

Does anyone know how many chances you have to encounter a banished unique? I had to peace out from my first TRJ encounter because it coincided with terrible terrain and too many friends -- will I encounter it again at some point, or is it now gone forever? It will still show up again, you're good.....

Ogres really are a lot of fun...
OgAK felt pretty powerful, the blink ability really helps with early game survivability.

Pretty sure that's the best amulet I've seen.

I finally got a victory in the Arena of Blood sprint! No item destruction in trunk really helped, having guaranteed controlled blink is a lifesaver. Dungeon Sprint DCSS version 0.15-a0-1274-g1aca2ce (webtiles) character file. 37800000 Xen the Plane Walker (level 27, 223/298 HPs) Began as a Deep Dwar...

You are a monster too, by the time you escape..

Heh, I took up chei but my run ended minutes later.

Found D1 altar of chei...should I do it?

What was your strategy for killing TRJ? I find I can have difficulty killing it on even on characters that are ready to ascend.

Also, in terms of tournament points, getting the tier II challenge is worth more than winning.

Yes!! I got the 15 rune run out of the way early for this challenge :) Whips of electricity are really good. Didn't try for the Tier II bonus, but it might have been possible using nemelex's decks to get to slime6 and converting to jivya. Well, probably better that I didn't risk it. Dungeon Crawl St...

As a golem, you don't eat and can't quaff potions?

Sounds like something Trog would like.

Cool, most of clan PFS is competing!

Agreed, there are actions that would fend off death by starvation better than ravenously tearing at your rations. However if the situation comes up, there is obviously something very wrong going on. The game should probably not prompt you to ask if you want to try drinking a potion or drawing a card...

I think it would be a good idea to have a failsafe where you automatically eat food if it's in your inventory and you would otherwise die of starvation that turn. This would override any other action you were trying to take.

You can avoid experiencing this for a second time by adding this to your rc-file: force_more_message += You are starving! That would probably have been enough to keep this character alive. Though I might have unconsciously ignored the message, since you would generally not even think of starvation ...

Ok...this is the stupidest death I've ever had in crawl. It's kind of a novelty death...one second I was fine, the next I was dead. So, on Dis 3 I chowed down on a pack of hell hounds, was at least full. Nemelex must have hit me with famine shortly after that while I was hasted; I didn't notice that...

I just ran into one of these. Recent change or bug? It's definitely way more trouble than it's worth to kill it without disintegrate.

I rate inaccuracy pretty highly, it's a really good tool for killing dangerous ranged things. I had 2 of them on one character once, had a lot of fun blasting hellions.

Count me in!
I play as Xen.

I didn't know orc sorcerers could paralyze... Too bad, it sucks when obscure things like that kill you. Especially for an EV based character, paralysis is a killer. Wiki says it has a 50% chance to affect you at 36 MR and you had 91 MR, so there was less than a 10% chance per paralysis attempt. To t...

I was playing after an all-nighter (which you should never, ever do) and decided to try the vow of courage III challenge (get 6 runes before entering depths). I thought I might be able to do it because my AC and EV were pretty good, and I had a great mace of holy wrath for good offense. Getting the ...

Hehe, we've got some funny deaths in Pikels Freed slaves...
We have a team kill - christhawk died to Strat's ghost.
And I lost a SpSk to Edmund the fire bat.

Hypothetically:
If you could only use one type of potion per game, but in exchange you had an infinite supply of that potion...
What potion would it be, and why?
