0.29 Tournament Character #1
In this series, I will attempt to win a game by playing a randomly generated character. In this series that I am starting, the number before the hyphen signifies the attempt that I am playing, and the number after the hyphen signifies the goal that I have finished. In this case, the character has cleared D:11 and is ready to tackle the Lair of Beasts. I will be playing online for these challenges under the same name (wizard44). The milestones will be roughly the same as that of my previous “Complete N00b’s Journey” series. For this first character, I randomly generate a Draconian Delver with a mace as the weapon of choice for my first character. With that, I bring you:
0.29 Tournament Attempts: Part 1-1
I start by training Fighting, Maces and Flails, Dodging, and Stealth, with an emphasis on Stealth in order to increase my character’s chances of avoiding monsters. I use my scroll of magic mapping to map the starting D:5 level, and find a nearby staircase that was guarded by a sleeping adder. I retreat and make my way to an escape hatch, picking up an Everburning Encyclopedia and throwing net along the way. The escape hatch is guarded by a water moccasin, so I avoid that as well and return to the first staircase. I find 3 gnolls in addition to the adder, and end up using a scroll of fear to make it to D:4. After killing a giant cockroach, I make it to D:3 without encountering any more monsters. I kill a hobgoblin and a bat and manage to ascend up to D:2 without too many issues. Upon reaching it, I find a handful of good items, with a book of Lightning among them, and dispatch the kobold and goblin guarding them. I pick up a book of Spatial Translocations and make it to D:1 after encountering only trivial creatures. I stop training Stealth after it reaches 5, and normally explore the level.
After clearing D:1, I read-id scrolls of enchant weapon (which I use towards my mace), identify (to identify potions of heal wounds, invisibility, and curing), teleportation, enchant armour, noise, vulnerability, and torment. Clearing D:2 provided me with a book of Minor Magic, and I decide to train in Evocations in order to get more use of any wands I get, and identify potions of degeneration. A search of D:3 provide me with the randart +7 dagger of Exchange {speed, Int+5} and a phantom that I kill without too much trouble. I identify a potin of lignification and read-id a scroll of poison, and return to D:4. D:4 had a ghost vault that had nothing except a leather armour that I could not put on. Upon returning to D:5, I run into Grinder, and open up by ensnaring her with a throwing net. After getting in one hit, Grinder breaks free and I quaff a potion of lignification to deal with her, quaffing a potion of heal wounds in the process. I reach level 7 and mature into a Grey Draconian. I use another potion of heal wounds to deal with a tense situation involving a water moccasin and a plethora of rats. I run into Menkaure, and decide to evade from him for now, as I did not have the means to quickly eliminate him. I read-id scrolls of amnesia and summoning, and proceed to D:6.
D:6 had Maggie, which forces me to re-enter the level from another place to avoid her. After exploring more of the level, I also run into Edmund the Younger, and I quaff 2 potions of invisibility to take him out so I can get his +2 dire flail of protection, which I enchant it up to +5 using my scrolls of enchant weapon. I run into Maggie again, who was awakened by a hound. By the time I reach the stairs, she had already managed to mesmerize me, forcing me to use a scroll of fog to break her line of sight so that I can escape from her. I identify a potion of brilliance, and return to D:6, where I clear a ghost vault to get a wand of quicksilver. D:8 had a horde of orcs and a steam dragon, and I use my last potion of heal wounds to survive the ordeal. I identify a potion of flight and find the entrance to the temple.
After taking a look at the altars, I decide to worship Okawaru, and begin training Invocations with a limit of 8. I read-id a scroll of acquirement, which I select a +0 great mace of protection over a +6 ring of dexterity and a +1 buckler of cold resistance. I then head back to D:5 to face Menkaure, and quaff a potion of lignification to protect against his Symbol of Torment. That proved to be unnecessary, as a single zap from a wand of quicksilver was enough to kill him. I then confront Maggie on D:6 and use a potion of invisibility before eliminating her after she manages to hit me with a wand of charming. I finish exploring D:7 and find and avoid a ghost vault that did not have anything useful. I run into a two-headed ogre on D:8 and manage to kill it after it reduced my HP to 13. D:9 had the entrance to the Lair, and I identify potions of attraction and might on that level. I also clear out a group of killer bees and a queen bee using a potion of berserk rage, finesse, a wand of mindburst, and a potion of curing. I begin training Throwing to 5 at this point and read-id a scroll of silence. D:10 was host to a bailey, which I enter in the face of getting hit by poisoned darts by kobold brigands. The bailey was full of orcs, and I end up using a quicksilver wand to deal with orc warriors that get me to low health in order to clear it. The only thing that I get from it is a pair of gloves of infusion, as my Draconian’s inability to wear body armor made the rest of the loot useless. Upon returning to D:10, I get surrounded by monsters that include a two-headed ogre and a death drake shaped shifter, so I use a scroll of teleportation to get out of the horde. I try to reach a staircase, but a horde of two two-headed ogres and vampire mosquitoes causes me to use a scroll of fear to escape. Upon returning, I find a shining eye shaped shifter, which manages to hit me with a clumsy mutation before dying. I take out the two two-headed ogres with Finesse, but run into another close call with an invisible monster and a two-headed ogre. I barely manage to escape upstairs to heal up, and deal with the invisible monster with my sole scroll of fog. I find a scroll of enchant weapon and enchant my great mace of protection to +1. D:11 had Grum who I easily kill, and a boulder beetle that I use Finesse on. After clearing the level, I save the game.
The next goal for this character is to clear the Lair of Beasts and D:12. However, Lair is going to be very difficult, as I have no poison resistance, and only have a couple of charges of wands of fire, quicksilver, and mindburst. I do have two potions of curing, but that will probably not be enough to clear all 5 levels of the Lair.
Below is my current character’s status. As always, I am open to any tips or suggestions.
