YASD: Branchless SpEn, died on orbrun

I got so close.

Argh... I got so close.

Someone on ##crawl suggested it might be fun to try a branchless (no orc, lair, or vaults) game where you obtain one rune from each of hell, pan, and the abyss. Instead of going the sensible killdudes route, I decided to pull out a SpEn. My one goal: get Controlled Blink castable, then run past everything. Sound like a cohesive, sensible plan?

No, I didn't think so either, but I really wanted to try it, and from the start of the game fate was on my side. I dove down to d:3 straightaway in search of a Gozag altar (the thinking: book shop = maybe Akashic record = yay). I didn't need to wait for the altar. 47 turns in, I found an Akashic Record lying on the ground. Thus started 33000 turns of running for my life.

Ensorcelled Hibernation and Confusion work surprisingly well even in Depths--with great care, things like deep troll packs, various giants, yaktaurs, and most of the common enemies can be confused at about 1/4 odds. Even sphinxes fall prey! Combine that with Dithmenos, two randart rings of stealth, and another nice book drop with Darkness, and I started to think I might actually have a chance. I had been at uncannily stealthy--and climbing--from around xl13, so I could more or less start encounters at my leisure.

Sooner or later, of course, the depths got nasty, and I had to start running more and killing less. I fled from U:2 to U:5 and back again, working carefully and frantically to get my spells castable and avoid the Enchantress and her army of spriggans on U:3. There were a few close calls, but mostly just the annoyance of having to dodge around everything on my way to not dying. After I got cblink down to reasonable failure, I dove into hell, because that was the only portal available.

...and quickly thought better of it and dove back out into the depths. The only portal to Pandemonium was right next to the Enchantress and about 8 assorted spriggans, so it wasn't exactly pleasant, but I got there. When I found a portal to the abyss, I made a quick trip to find a rune. To get it, I had to push my way through a crowd of chaos spawn and giants in clouds of chaos, casting dispersal as I went. I only almost died once or twice!

After the Depths and Abyss, most of Pandemonium was almost relaxing. I even got to rest a few times! Sooner or later, I made it to Lom Lobon's level, where by a combination of luck, stealth, and controlled blink, I worked my way through his vault. It was exciting, and maybe it shouldn't have worked, but it did. Lom himself created the most treacherous moment with an ice storm taking me down to 5hp, followed by greeting me at melee range when I grabbed the rune, but teleportation saved the day and I was off again.

Tartarus seemed marginally safer than the other hells, so I blinked my way through the Depths and the Vestibule down to Tar. It went... okay. Lots of encounters when I was at low health, almost no resting, and reapers with annoying reach came close to ending me, but Controlled Blink proved its power time and time again. It culminated in a shadow step onto Ereshkigal, an unsuccessful stab, a blink to the rune vault, and a quick teleport away.

By this point, I couldn't believe how well things were going, and rushed trembling down to Zot. It was always going to be tricky there. I had basically no rF, only one teleport scroll, one heal wounds, and an unidentified wand of hasting that would waste charges with every use. Not exactly the recipe for success in Zot, but my plan was the same as always: rush in, run and blink past everything, grab the orb, get out.

The crazy thing was that it worked. Despite a ghost moth stealing most of my MP, I haste-ran past the entirety of the orb chamber, blinked onto the orb, read teleport, then realized that I was next to a permanent teleport trap. I hopped on, landed on an upstair, went up, and ran for my little spriggan life.

And that's when I died. A brimstone fiend on the floor below, a chaotic run through lots of enemies that -still- wouldn't allow me to rest, and a yellow draconian to finish the deal and prevent me from completing my tensest challenge run. So it goes.

I wanted that win so badly. Spriggan speedruns have always been my favorite parts of Crawl to watch, and playing one did not disappoint. It would have been so satisfying to scrape past everything for the victory, but I have the consolation prize of having grabbed the orb, at least. You can only cheat death so many times before it catches up to you.

Anyway, here's the dump.

The orb at XL 17... !

Here (again) one of my favourite quotations about crawl: "You need a challenge or it gets boring." (Tolias)

Blade wrote:Sooner or later, of course, the depths got nasty, and I had to start running more and killing less.

I know this feeling very well from "normal" games when there's a nasty threat in early dungeon and you must flee to a deeper level, facing an even more dangerous threat, fleeing down to the next level etc... We all know how this usually ends.

Blade wrote:After the Depths and Abyss, most of Pandemonium was almost relaxing. I even got to rest a few times!

RNG failed to provide you with regeneration spell! That was bad luck for sure.

Blade wrote:By this point, I couldn't believe how well things were going, and rushed trembling down to Zot. It was always going to be tricky there. I had basically no rF, only one teleport scroll, one heal wounds, and an unidentified wand of hasting that would waste charges with every use. Not exactly the recipe for success in Zot, but my plan was the same as always: rush in, run and blink past everything, grab the orb, get out.

I smell a bit of overconfidence. I think you didn't clear the depths - what about doing some more of it *now* before diving into Zot? For more XP = HP, for more consumables, maybe a good item? Maybe rF?

Better luck next time!

Good question. There are two reasons I didn't do this. First: it wasn't that sort of game. I always wanted to get things done as quickly as possible after getting cblink castable, so I was only ever going to spend long enough in depths to make that work. Second: For a certain subset of characters, the Depths can become every bit as threatening as everything that comes after. This guy was in that set, and I wasn't about to risk my life and burn more consumables to try for a bit more xp. On other characters, that would have been a very good idea, yes.

I never considered it, since Dithmenos's smoke bleeding and extra stealth were both incredibly helpful. Gozag is about the only other god I'd consider for a run like this (maybe Sif, but that's pushing it). Which god were you thinking might make sense?

Re: YASD: Branchless SpEn, died on orbrun

Fun read. Why didn't you use shadow form? It would have made you a lot more survivable during the tensest moments.

Re: YASD: Branchless SpEn, died on orbrun

You know something embarrassing? I try all sorts of tricky challenge runs, and even do pretty well at some of them, but I still haven't learned to use many invocations in combat. Honestly, after early game, I completely forgot shadow form was a thing. I forgot shadow step most of the time as well.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
