0.29 Tournament Character #1

After a hectic weekend, I am ready to participate in the 0.29 tournament.

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.

Re: 0.29 Tournament Character #1

After some tense moments, this character has cleared the Lair and D:12.

0.29 Tournament Attempts: Part 1-2

I enter Lair:1 and get an amulet of regeneration and 4 potions of might, both of which are highly appreciated. I clear that level easily, read-id a scroll of immolation, and head to Lair:2. I find the entrance to the Swamp there, and run into Nergalle. It took me two invocations of Heroism to dispatch her due to the need to evade from her spectral summons the first time around. I also run into Urug, who I manage to take out without taking too much damage by luring her into a corner and using Heroism. Additionally, I found the entrance to the Spider Nest, and I am forced to use another wand of mindburst charge to kill the spiders guarding it. After enchanting my cloak to +2 using scrolls of enchant armor that I found, I descend to Lair:3. The level had a scrolls of enchant armor and enchant weapon that I use on my gloves and great mace, but no dangerous monsters.

Hardly believing the fact that I have not encountered any hydras yet, I proceed to Lair:4, where I find the entrance to the Slime Pits and a scroll of enchant armor at the corner of the staircase’s room. I get the scroll and fully enchant my gloves to +2, and proceed to clear the level, which gives me another scroll of enchant weapon to enchant my great mace to +3. Upon entering Lair:5, I find and identify a potion of cancellation. Okawaru gives me the artefact +8 kite shield of Okawaru’s Hope {Str+3 Dex+5}, but before I can pick it up, I run into an eight-headed hyrda, which I kill with 3 uses of a wand of quicksilver. I somehow trigger an alarm trap, which forces me to read a scroll of teleportation to get to a staircase to wait out the sentinel’s mark. I kill another eight-headed hydra using my wands of quicksilver and mindburst, and another one using a potion of lignification. Unfortunately, I get surrounded by a steam dragon, a molten gargoyle, and a wyvern, and I quaff a potion of might and use Heroism to survive the assault. I then clear the level and end up expending my wand of quicksilver to deal with a seven-headed hydra, and another potion of might to deal with a fire dragon.

I proceed to D:12, which was host to an ice cave. I make it there without too much trouble, and get a scroll of enchant weapon that I use on my great mace and a +1 cloak of cold resistance. Upon returning, I use Heroism and a scroll of poison to flush out an invisible monster that had pursued me on my entry to the ice cave. I then find and identify a potion of ambrosia, clear the level, and read-id a scroll of blinking.

So the next goal for this character is to clear the Orcish mines and the rest of the main dungeon. I probably will not be using the shield, as I have not found a good one-handed maces and flails weapon to warrant the switch from my current two-handed weapon.

Below is my current character’s status. Any tips are welcome.

Re: 0.29 Tournament Character #1

As it turns out, this character clears the Orcish Mines and the rest of the dungeon after a few tense moments.

0.29 Tournament Attempts: Part 1-3

Orcish Mines:1 had a group of orcs that I take out with ease. I turn Stealth training back on and descend into Orcish Mines:2, where I run into Azarel, who I kill with Heroism and Finesse. An upstairs staircase to another part of Orcish Mines:1 reveals the presence of Erolcha, forcing me to abandon that part of the level for now. I run into an orc warlord, which I evade from while clearing out the other monsters. I find a weapon shop that does not have anything useful, and encounter a cluster of orc high priests and sorcerers, forcing me to use a potion of might and a potion of heal wounds to survive the assault. Okawaru trolls me by giving a randart +1 triple sword with {freeze, +Blink rElec rF+ Will++} as the attributes in the process. I find a book boutique, 2 distilleries, and a magic scroll shop. I buy a potion of heal wounds, a potion of might, a potion of mutation, and a scroll of fear from the shops. I then face the orc warlord, lure him around a corner, and kill him with Heroism active. I then clear a ghost vault with Heroism and Finesse, and get a potion of mutation, a scroll of enchant weapon to enchant my great mace to +5, and a scroll of fear from the vault. Not having any additional ways to boost willpower, I decide to tackle the rest of the main dungeon.

D:13 had another eight-headed hydra, so I retreat and reenter the level from another floor. I then take out the eight-headed hydra with wands of mindburst and flame, and immediately run into another one that goes down the same way. I then fall into a shaft to D:15, forcing me to use a scroll of magic mapping to find the stairs to D:14. On the way, I kill a cyclops and get granted a randart pair of gloves with rF+. On D:14, I find a book emporium and an escape hatch back to D:13. After clearing D:13, I return to D:14, where I find yet another eight-headed hydra and take it out by expending my wand of mindburst. I get surrounded by several ironbound preservers, a six-headed hydra, and a rakshasa, prompting me to use a scroll of teleportation to evade them. The teleportation puts me in the middle of a room containing a centaur warrior and four-headed hydra, so I use Heroism and Finesse to clear the room. I get discovered by the six-headed hydra and an ogre, so I use another scroll of teleportation to retreat. I then exterminate the rakshasa, the six-headed hydra and another six-headed hydra and proceed to clear the rest of the level without too much trouble, although I take out yet another eight-headed hydra in the process. D:15 is cleared without incident. I then head to the Swamp entrance and save the game.

The next task is to get the Swamp rune, and hope that I have enough potions of curing to deal with the massive amounts of poison.

Any tips in general are welcome, and my character’s status is posted below.

Re: 0.29 Tournament Character #1

As it turns out, this character gets killed due to stupidity and overconfidence.

YASD #1: Swamp Worms, Spriggan Druids and Bog Bodies Make a Deadly Combinaton.

Swamp:1 forces me to do some stairdancing to manage the crowd when I enter it, but causes me no major problems. Swamp:2 gives me a tentacled monstrosity, forcing me to use Heroism, Finesse, and a potion of berserk rage to take it out. I learn Blink as a safety spell and start training Translocations with a limit of 5. I find and identify a potion of resistance, and get surrounded by a spriggan druid, swamp worms, and a bog body. I manage to kill the spriggan druid and the bog body, but not before they power up two swamp worms. Despite my best attempt to escape using Blink and survive using a potion of berserk rage, I get killed due to the swamp worms dragging me back. Truly an embarrassing loss, and a lesson to never quaff potions of berserk rage as a way to try to kill creatures quickly.

So, there goes my first character for the 0.29 tournament. I will probably start another random character in the next several days.

Well, I'd say that after the early game, most (if not all) deaths happen for those reasons :)
