YASD - Death by poison. Fuck.

Inspired by the YAVP about a high elf conjurer, I decided to try that since I can't seem to get air elementalists working either. Game started pretty well until I ran into a potion of mutation that gave me these shitty mutations i have. Was planning on going for staves for the staff of air, but got the saber of electrocution early on and used it until I got fighting. Then on D9 I think I ran into the quarterstaff i was using at the time of death. On d10 though, the game decided to give me a Labyrinth and screw me over with two kobold instantly poisoning me to red and me dying like a bitch because the game had no healing potions in it. So yeah. Gonna try this combo again though, I find it a lot easier to survive than AE. Or maybe it was just dumb luck, who knows.

Re: YASD - Death by poison. Fuck.

red poison from kobolds is really bad! turn a corner and wait, even if there's a timed portal. still, lousy luck with those mutations.

in my experience, air elementalists have it easy early on with swiftness and repel missiles, but by lair unless you're lucky enough to find a good book you won't be able to kill anything big and poison-resistant with spells. lightning bolt isn't spectacular, but it helps.

anyway, in case you retry: staves require elemental training *and* evocations for melee, right? from henzell:

Enhancer staves (fire, cold, air, earth, death) have (Evoc + 1)/15 chance of doing 1d(1.25 * (Evoc + skill)) extra damage that ignores AC (except earth), but checks the appropriate resistance. Air also needs to pass a (damage dealt + air + 1)/20 chance, and death a (necro + 1)/8 chance. The staff of poison is handled differently.

Re: YASD - Death by poison. Fuck.

I drank a potion of mutation at level 2 and got irdescent scales +4 and colorless scales +1 and Resistance to hostile enchantments. I was promptly mobbed by two snakes when i had 0 MP and lost a very promising Deep Elf Transmuter.

Gotta love the poison.

Are you playing trunk or 7.3?

I think trunk has been far kinder to me when it comes to dying of sickness or P'

Re: YASD - Death by poison. Fuck.

Check out the character dump. It's trunk.

@absolutego - That's what I did. I couldn't really care much about the labyrinth, so I just ran back up the stairs and waited. Then died.

Re: YASD - Death by poison. Fuck.

Yep, sucks a lot when you don't have any heal potions and just have to watch the poison take your hp down to zero.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
