Try to break the 1 hour mark. Like the 4-minute mile, probably not insurmountable, but you'd need a lot going for you to do it.

Good thing I haven't gotten coffee yet, or KoboldLord would owe me a new keyboard. This is the funniest thing I've read on this site in a few months.

The Lava Orcs destroyed it.

I did it once to see how many lives it would take a spriggen to kill Mennas with a quick blade. Far, far too many. Go back with a dagger and Stabbing of about 16 (and enough stealth to keep him asleep) and you won't have a problem. Then do it again. And again. Once for every time you died trying it...

The Abyss gate vault has been in for quite a while, at least since 0.8 if not longer.

And the metal walls aren't lying. It's an exit from the Labyrinth, after all. Just not the exit.

When I was a kid, Jessica was the cool new thing to die to. I thought you were still a kid - ? When I was still a kid, Zot still was just a term used by the Internet Oracle. You owe the Oracle a much funnier joke then the one he has just channeled through Giygas When I was a kid, the Orb of Zot was...

Give 'em the Boris treatment. They can respawn on any newly created level...which in Pan, is all of them.

If you think landing in the middle of Hellion Island is bad, imagine having Cerebov on the other side of the lava waiting to firestorm you after the tormentspam.

You have to go Okawaru or Trog. Where else is he going to get all of the useless hammers?

You read the post.
It was a post of silence.

Your reading returns.

Colonel K is not a kobold, though.

If you can't tell the difference between your manual movement and autoexplore, you're going too fast.

(Disclosure: I'm in the same category of awfulplayers that you are, so my advice isn't worth much.)

Lightning breathers and casters are far better at bolt bouncing than you ever will be. And this is even with the cap on number of hits from a single bolt in recent versions.

More generally, I don't want to be operated on by someone who's thinking that the state of the world doesn't change as long as they don't make a move.

Even rarer: rBacon.

Fresh@. Especially since most new players are unspoiled, or relatively so.

Outstanding job. Congratulations.

Southpaw wrote:This game is trying to kill me.

FTFY.

If you ever let yourself think that the game isn't actively trying to kill you, that's when a lot of mistakes happen.

Not if you don't need Conjurations for anything else. (Which you might if you get Iron Shot online.) Use a spare ID scroll.

I was burred. No better explanation.

Yeah, and now in trunk with the way that corpses can crawl all over each other and join their bodies together, you've got some lecturing to do about workplace fraternization.

Done and done.

It appears that this thread was left to rot on the vine. Don't make someone resort to graft to sustain it.

It may look odd but Fedhas was supposed to be a god who (also) caters for ranged combat, including spells. No, I can see that. Being able to duck behind a barricade that the monsters would have to bash through (and a lot faster than Passwall) is something that ranged fighters would treasure mightily.

I picked it back up recently after taking a hiatus of several years. I'm Stormfox on there as well.

The orc blades remind me of Aztec macuahuitls.

That is one of the more awesome bits of writing I've seen in a video game in quite a while. The fact that it was written for an analogue to TrBe (smash things, eat, repeat until win) makes it that much more awesome.

I'm running one of these right now, and it is indeed sickening how powerful pacification gets. The Orc Mines is a good news/bad news situation. Good, because you get the racial bonus for pacification. Bad, because you can't eat orc corpses and thus you can't pull the trick of pacifying some of a mob...

I think the joke is to remove the ctrl-s save function and replace it with a consumable.

Except that for this to really work as intended, you can't just read the scroll yourself. You need to be standing on an altar of the Save God and pray.

Code:: Y - the ring of Xom's Whimsicality {SustAb Contam+ Str+2}

Perfect. Half-decent ring that's radioactive. Xom thinks this is hilarious!

The idea behind the bread ration trick is that you get a nerfed illusion that can't do much harm to you, so that leaves you free to concentrate on killing Mara. Don't take down the illusion unless it's actively working on killing you (and even then your resources are probably better spent getting of...

Ow. I once lost a very promising SpVM in almost the exact same circumstances -- running from an Executioner in Pan and I wasn't even able to hit walls with my poison arrows. If you're waiting for a teleport to kick in, your only concern should be keeping away from the enemy long enough for that to h...

Just don't kill your past self so that you can have two copies of your favorite weapon.

It's the circle of life.

Fedhas appreciates Elyvilon's contribution to the ecosystem.

99 sheep vs. an orb of fire.

Because sheep are more dangerous than Cerebov.

My thought was a bottle brush, but then I'm only about 15 months removed from having used those on a daily basis.

Potion of rotgut.

Just last night I had one where it had 3 doors, and when I got next to one, Xom showed me a Jelly behind a different one. It felt like it was the doors on Let's Make a Deal.

Find a weapon that's good for killing things but not too good, in case Xom decides to animate it. You probably don't want to be on the receiving end of that mace.

I'm the wrong kind of blue name, but your sling doesn't care what kind of armour you're wearing. Stabbing wouldn't be impaired much either.

In a "fair" fight, you'd want some Armour skill behind you.

For the true Crawl drinking experience, have someone else pour your various liquors into unlabeled containers out of your sight. Fill your glasses from those containers, or drink directly from them.

EDIT: Oh wait. That implies that you should quaff-ID your drinks. Bad move.

Grimm wrote:I've heard they have more kills than do sheep.

Sheep only manage to kill the unprepared or inattentive. (Or flaming corpses that are being mocked by the RNG.)

Puns slay everyone.

Any Troggie that I've trained Slings on and has lived long enough has been gifted Punk. Unless it spawned in the dungeon first.

Are you nominating cs as the Pope of Crawl? Having watched some of the amazing stuff he has pulled off, I'd call him the Jesus of Crawl Even Jesus had to be lifesaved once. ...oh wait, now THERE is a good solution to the argument about Felid extra lives.

You had a known potion of resistance. That should have been the first thing you used when you saw Nikola 28 turns prior.

The scroll of fog would have helped break line of sight.

Airstrike also does quite respectable damage on dancing weapons. If you get something big and close, though, it may not kill it in time. Especially those polearms.

Learn which enemies are brittle and thus vulnerable to LRD without Petrify. Most monsters that are primarily mineral (bone, rock/stone, metal) are, but there are a few exceptions. Ice beasts count too. (EDIT: Derp. Forget what I said about Roxanne, I was indeed thinking about disintegration.) Don't ...
