CIP: VpEn of Kiku - Quick blade collector

After a heartbreaking 13-rune character who died after reaching hellion island not long ago, I am once again striving to finish a 15-rune extended game.

My original plan with this character did not involve Kiku at all, but after finding a well-enchanted dagger of pain on D:1, I grabbed Kiku asap so I could train a bit of Necromancy for the awesome early game weapon.

Since then it is no longer in my arsenal. Instead, I seem to on track to finding the full quick blade collection here. I'm swapping weapons fairly frequently based on my health, the enemy's cold resist, and the enemy's negative energy resist. I also have a very awesome bow that I never use.

I also have collected a nice set of mutations as long as I'm thirsty. Above that, a few annoying mutations kick in, so I try to avoid that. I'm often eating Kiku-summoned corpses to heal up, then equipping my artifact ring of hunger to drop to bloodless before fighting again.

(My Kiku piety is currently in the dumps because I just got back from finishing Tomb and Crypt, which is terrible for Kiku piety.)

I've got pandemonion and hell runes to go. Any suggestions?

Right now I'm a bit of a hybrid fighter; most damage comes from a variety of quick blades, but I have a huge number of supporting spells. I really wish there was a book that could teach me controlled blink somewhere, but there isn't. =( I also wouldn't mind getting my hand on a wand of heal wounds, but acquirement seems to prefer giving me wands of haste. So I'm putting exp mostly into defensive skills right now. Another option would be to pump my air magic up and learn tornado, I've never cast a level 9 spell before, so I don't know how useful that option would be.

Re: CIP: VpEn of Kiku - Quick blade collector

Did you use a vampiric qb in slimes? It's very useful for keeping you at full health even if you are bloodless. You are with kiku, though. At least I've cleared slimes with a Vampire's Tooth and I always stayed at full health if I was careful(fighting 1 dangerous jelly at a time, sleep-stabbing green slimes for a huge healing effect).

Also, I can't believe that you don't have enslavement. Did you know that you can sometimes even enslave powerful uniques like snorg, roka or tiamat? I know with zombies it's probably concerns you to a lesser extent but if you enslave something strong, it will probably be more useful than a bunch of mindless zombies. And one more thing, since you are goint for an extended game, dazzling spray can help you blind-stab demons such as shadow fiend and reaper. They are immune to other enchantments.

The vampiric blade was my most recent creation, it wasn't around when I was doing the slime pits. (I also wouldn't have used it till enchanted to +5 out of paranoia of it corroding) It is such a nice weapon that it would be a shame to tarnish it.

As for enslavement, I've tried to like that spell but I just can't. I can see how it *can* be good, but anything worth enslaving usually has massive magic resistance, and if I can break that magic resistance, I'd rather it be with a spell that will let me kill them and end their danger (like sleep or confusion) instead of one that will let me take out other less worrisome threats with the threat of the spell wearing off always looming over me.

Dumb luck. I never use acquirement on weapons. The vampiric and the stabbing I found as "just" very well enchanted quick blades, I used a scroll of brand weapon on one, and two scrolls of brand weapon on the second, which randomly gave me vampiric.

-----------------------------------------

So on the topic of the playthrough, I played some more, cleared out Zot, found a +5, +3 unbranded quick blade, and found "the +9,+9 quick blade of Qeosin {stab, SInv}" for added quick blade silliness.

So with everything but hell and pandemonium ahead of me, I decided to set foot in Pandemonium.

...This character was not ready for pandemonium. the first floor had a Pandemonium lord which taught me the one greatest flaw my character had: a lack of magic resistance. The pandemonium lord was able to summon monsters from the slime pits, including a swarm of paralyzing eyes, which had much success in locking me down. I barely escaped, and the rest of pandemonium was a blur of retreating and teleporting and raising meat shields trying to escape.

And I succeeded in escaping! But I needed a plan to get stronger. So I decided to run the first 10 levels of a nearby ziggurat, hoping for some more items to flesh out my arsenal, hopefully magic resistance gear, wands of heal wounds, or a spellbook with controlled blink (I did a similar run on my 13 rune character to much success) I demolished the first 8 floors of the zig no problem, but then the 9th floor was a pandemonium themed floor, with lords and hellions and... I died from hellfire when trying to make a break for the portal out.

Now to decide what I'll do for my next attempt. =/ I thought this was such a good run, but my character didn't feel nearly as powerful as my last one that made it this far. I think that I just need to focus on maxing out all my defensive skills earlier, I invested in too many magics with exp that could have gone to more HP, AC, and EV.

TLDR: character dead.

whut.

I thought it was no different than the sphinx paralyze... well that sucks. Learn something new everyday.

Well, obviously the lesson for me to take from this is I need to get firestorm castable on all my characters from now on so I'll be able to take out eyeballs that are hiding behind four layers of other enemy summons.

Or more likely, just run away asap.

Yes, eyeballs is a bad monster IMHO as long as stasis is not guaranteed to generate in every game.

Re: CIP: VpEn of Kiku - Quick blade collector

For most uses a wand of lightning or arrow keys will deal with eyeballs. Panlord with summon eyes is indeed rough, though.

I actually think giant eyeball is one of the most interesting monsters.

Just amazing. I ascended a 5-runer VpVM who didn't find a single quick blade in the game.
