The closest extended call I have ever had (now YAVP)
First off, I applogise, I should have taken screen shots or somesuch.
Playing a DDEE of Evylion, here's the character dump:
Yes, I am completely a caster. The staff of channeling was what I got the first time I asked for an aquirement staff. The second time I asked I got a staff of wizardy. I am guessing staves of earth do not exist in this game. As a DD that amulet is pure gold since it keeps my piety up despite the heals.
But on to the story....
So Orc is entierly explored, save for one bubble I dug to down on Orc 4 (love the DD sense surroundings). I went in there earilier, saw Nick and hightailed it out before he saw me. However, now I have statue form with its built in rElec, and I want to find elf. Unfortunatly, just after going though the tunnel I run into Louise.
Normally Louise is not really a problem for me, since I have been playing He Hybrids. I would however fill the tunnel with poison gas and swiftly run away, however that is not an option for this sturdy EE. I try to burn her down with a couple of iron shots, and quickly switch to stone arrow when I realise my mana will run out faster than her hps.
Just as I realise this I relearn why she is to be feared.....she banishes me. I take stock of my situation. Unlike every other time I have been banished I have no source of swiftness or leviation, and my only telport is a wand. Oh, and I am at half health, and hungry, and I forgot to replenish food last time I was at my stash. I begin to dispair, but bravely head commence wandering. As I run from a bone dragon I remember why I normally try to memorize levatate since water pools are anoying. A little more wandering and suddenly there is a an exit! Out of food, and very hungry I dart through and try to make it back to my stash to get a snack. (orc and lair are on the same dungon level in this game).
Remember how I mentioned that I had to dig a tunnel to get to this bubble? Oh yeah, Louise is in it. I fire off the wand of teleport and try to run away. The same turn the teleport goes off, I go back off to the abyss.
Time to take stock. In the abyss, out of food, and oh, near starving... Well this has been a fun experiment. As a try to run, a nexiqual give me blurry vision, and detioration 2....did I mention that I was DD and stat damage does not heal naturally
Even more amusing I see the silence aura of an angel. As I run, I fire off a teleport and try not to get killed.
Happily I teleport away before I get too hurt, right into a pathway in a lake of fire, but at least there is no foes around. I am nearly starving, and about 30% health. Time to use my wand of healing a couple of times. Once I get back to health I realise that I am trapped on this island without levitation. No worries, I still have teleports. Off I blip, to a different part of the same lake of fire.... However as I explore I see, another exit!
Off I run, only to discover that there is a stone wall blocking the only path thought the lava. There I am, 4 steps from the exit, nearly starving, out of food, and I cannot reach it.
Ah, I may not be able to fly, but as an EE I can go THROUGH the wall. I cast LRD, success! A giant blast, one or two more like that and away I'll go. I try to cast again and....nothing. Because of my low(er) int and spellcasting, LRD still has choko hunger, and I just went to starving....
Not being willing to give up yet I start chugging potions, hey they give a trivial amount of nutrition. while I do this, the noise of the first casting has attracted an ice devil and air elemental. I just keep chugging until I go back to "near-starving". Cast, boom, chug, chug. I am down to nothing but potions of berzerking and speed. neither of which I feel will help me in the starving department. One last cast blows up the wall, and the poor ice devil who though it would be a good idea to stand next to it while he chewed on me.
Off I dash though the portal, to find myself back in Orc 4, starving, out of food, and I still have to get through Louise. Wait, I teleported as I was banished, and I am on the far side of the level, and right near the shopping mall. Although there are no general goods or food stores, there is a potion shop. I stumble in and buy every potion that won't actually kill me before making it to my stash.
The potions got me all the way back to the dungon level before went back to starving so I only passed out once before I made it back to my stash. Snozcumber never tasted so good. It also took 2 of my 3 potions of cure MUT to get rid of the deterioration, but I REALLY hate that one as a DD.
I am thinking it may be a bit before I decide to try going to elf again. Oh and since I am strong enough, I think I will try to carry a bit more food (normally I take 2-3 rations, but now I think 8-9 is better).
It is worth noting that this guy takes a lot of food. My only winning character was a Ko zerker and compaired to the zerker this guy eats A LOT, easily twice as much or more. Happily I was able hit the hive and found 3 different bee vaults. The issue is that due to the low(er) int and spellcasting apt my spells have hunger for much longer. When combined with the fact that every time I have to heal it eats a ton of nutrition he is always hungry. Let me put it this way. He probably ate half of the snake pit as he went about clearing the first 3 levels.

You should have found some artifact boots and gloves too.
