YAVP! Newbie SpVm

My first character to actually survive the dungeon! Most of the game was spent running around trying to split things up so I could kill them with poison arrow and get my mana back in peace. The best part of this game for me was probably when I finally eliminated the hunger cost for poison arrow, it served me fantastically throughout the game the only stuff that wasn't dispatched in less than 4 hits by it were orbs of fire and bone dragons. Oh and finding his sweet hat. So cool with that hat on oh yeah.

First time I've seen the zot dungeon, my previous record was a 21 ice elementalist who died from attempting vault:8 without life protection. That and worshipping chei and not finding any way to blink whatsoever but I'm not bitter. Those fire orbs are ridiculous I resorted to hoping airstrike would kill them before my mana bar ran out. Butterflies have got to be the best escape tool possible in corridors, it's like everything has a memory wipe after they kill them. Maybe they're just astonishingly pretty/shiny or something.

You could see a Green Death.


Oh and guess who realised an orange statue had deleted teleport control from them the exact moment they picked up the orb? Yeah. Thankfully spriggan speed and dig made it simple enough anyways.

Anyway I FINALLY BEAT IT YEEEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Congrats on your first win!

Airstriking orbs of fire to death? Ballsy move- I'm kind of surprised it worked out.

Spriggan speed - ponderous penalty + swiftness + fly = spriggan speed. XD

Re: YAVP! Newbie SpVm

Oh interesting thing with fire orbs, might be a bug. If their path is blocked by a mushroom, you can attack thing with smite targeted skills (such as airstrike) and they will just glare malevolently at you and do nothing at all about the mushroom blocking them. True its not a very easy thing to set up at all but I guess its not intended? I did enjoy it giving me a very easy kill for one of the orbs though :P.

Re: YAVP! Newbie SpVm

It's always a moment of warmth for me to see other players carry the PAGG torch right to the Orb and back.
Huge congrats on your first win, and even bigger for that being a SpVM of Vehumet :).
... and forgive us our YASDs,
As we forgive our developers,
And lead us not into the Abyss,
But deliver us from Sigmund,
For Thine is the Roguelike,
the Orb and the Victory,
now and forever.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
