Goodbye, Fair MuIe; thank you for not leaving a ghost.
Hey folks,
Been playing Crawl for about three or four months now; posting for the first time because this was my highest scoring game and I almost had my first ascension under my belt.
I got done in, as you can see, by a Yaktaur accompanied by a captain on D21; as soon as I rounded the corner the Captain gave me a nice silver bolt to the face that knocked off nearly half of my health from full, so instead of blinking or teleporting or something smart (Ozocubu's Armour was actually my panic button for a lot of this game, mostly because I didn't have a source of cTELE, but that got melted away as my bandages went up in flames...), I tried to brute force it, and, well, after a lot of close encounters with...(re-)death, finally YASD'd.
This was the first time I came across Refrigeration and had it castable, and, well, damn. It got me through the last floor of the Lair which had been a stopping point for me before because a room filled with Jellies got loose (although no Jiyva altar or Slime Pit entrance), as well as spawning a herd of death yaks that would gore me before I could unload all of my MP on even one of them backed down a hallway; and it completely steamrolled the first four floors of Elf and all of Snake and Swamp, giving me two runes in my stash.
It was at this point that I started struggling; really, since I was a Sif worshipper, I should have realized that the right thing to do was memorize more spells; I was absolutely inundated with her gifts--although come to think of it, in the early game there were a lot of spellbook spawns on the floor also. I was avoiding Slime with a vengeance, because an earlier run in with some Ugly Things that insisted upon being brown had wrecked a lot of my gear, even with the Amulet of rCOR that I was still wearing at the time of my death on; Vault had given me some nasty uniques on the second floor so I was saving it for later; and Geryon had summoned some beasts that nearly trampled me out of an escape route when I ventured into the Vestibule (only been there once before with a KoBe, but I didn't actually fight that time so I'm not really sure what kind of staying power it takes to bring Geryon down--should I wait until I've reached Zot?), so I decided I would just keep venturing through the dungeon until I could handle the rest of what was being thrown at me. I had a lot of nasty run-ins with Mennas on D20; he wandered into a pretty hilarious room filled with mutagenic clouds that kept polymorphing him after I ran away from him one time, but he wouldn't stop being any less dangerous (basically, he was still always fast, silencing, and descending upon me with Holy Wrath. Not cool, Mennas. Not cool.).
The other most notable thing about this game was that my item selection was pretty poor for a long while; shops were unhelpful for the most part, my scrolls were almost always Identify or Enchant Weapon I (well, that's exaggerated a bit, but I only had three scrolls of Blinking, a single Enchant Armour, and no Acquirement for the whole game), and the only useable randart I had was Fiaj. I did manage to find a ring of ice early on, but I didn't want to risk running around with rFxx. Most of my games that have made it as far as the late-early game/early-mid game are predisposed towards being Okawaru/Trog worshippers, so I've become pretty spoiled with weapon/armour gifts, although I'm glad that I came across a Staff of Ice in the Swamp.
The one thing I'm happiest about with this game? That I won't run into myself as a ghost on D21
. Player ghosts are one of my biggest sources of game overs. I just love it when I round a corner on D6 and find two of my former selves lying in wait for me...

145167 | D:21 | HP: 4/139 [yaktaur captain/ silver bolt (68)]
145168 | D:21 | Shot with a bolt of flame by a yaktaur
I got done in, as you can see, by a Yaktaur accompanied by a captain on D21; as soon as I rounded the corner the Captain gave me a nice silver bolt to the face that knocked off nearly half of my health from full, so instead of blinking or teleporting or something smart (Ozocubu's Armour was actually my panic button for a lot of this game, mostly because I didn't have a source of cTELE, but that got melted away as my bandages went up in flames...), I tried to brute force it, and, well, after a lot of close encounters with...(re-)death, finally YASD'd.
This was the first time I came across Refrigeration and had it castable, and, well, damn. It got me through the last floor of the Lair which had been a stopping point for me before because a room filled with Jellies got loose (although no Jiyva altar or Slime Pit entrance), as well as spawning a herd of death yaks that would gore me before I could unload all of my MP on even one of them backed down a hallway; and it completely steamrolled the first four floors of Elf and all of Snake and Swamp, giving me two runes in my stash.
It was at this point that I started struggling; really, since I was a Sif worshipper, I should have realized that the right thing to do was memorize more spells; I was absolutely inundated with her gifts--although come to think of it, in the early game there were a lot of spellbook spawns on the floor also. I was avoiding Slime with a vengeance, because an earlier run in with some Ugly Things that insisted upon being brown had wrecked a lot of my gear, even with the Amulet of rCOR that I was still wearing at the time of my death on; Vault had given me some nasty uniques on the second floor so I was saving it for later; and Geryon had summoned some beasts that nearly trampled me out of an escape route when I ventured into the Vestibule (only been there once before with a KoBe, but I didn't actually fight that time so I'm not really sure what kind of staying power it takes to bring Geryon down--should I wait until I've reached Zot?), so I decided I would just keep venturing through the dungeon until I could handle the rest of what was being thrown at me. I had a lot of nasty run-ins with Mennas on D20; he wandered into a pretty hilarious room filled with mutagenic clouds that kept polymorphing him after I ran away from him one time, but he wouldn't stop being any less dangerous (basically, he was still always fast, silencing, and descending upon me with Holy Wrath. Not cool, Mennas. Not cool.).
The other most notable thing about this game was that my item selection was pretty poor for a long while; shops were unhelpful for the most part, my scrolls were almost always Identify or Enchant Weapon I (well, that's exaggerated a bit, but I only had three scrolls of Blinking, a single Enchant Armour, and no Acquirement for the whole game), and the only useable randart I had was Fiaj. I did manage to find a ring of ice early on, but I didn't want to risk running around with rFxx. Most of my games that have made it as far as the late-early game/early-mid game are predisposed towards being Okawaru/Trog worshippers, so I've become pretty spoiled with weapon/armour gifts, although I'm glad that I came across a Staff of Ice in the Swamp.
The one thing I'm happiest about with this game? That I won't run into myself as a ghost on D21
. Player ghosts are one of my biggest sources of game overs. I just love it when I round a corner on D6 and find two of my former selves lying in wait for me...
