There were no monsters in sight!

Why would you go down the Slime Pits without acid resistance? It's suicide.

[mageykun]

Yeah, acid resistance is not a prerequisite. I've cleared slime more than once without it. The real problem?

3. Acid damage increases for each unequipped item slot (50% chance if wearing a cloak).

[Curio]

Why would you go down the Slime Pits without acid resistance? It's suicide.

I had amulet of resist corrosion - didn't help much the first time I run down to pits, so I replaced it with my awesome randart amulet.

What WAS suicide was taking off the cloak. Always pick up some trash off the floor to wear instead of going nude or wearing something you'll actually want later.

Yeah, acid resistance is not a prerequisite. I've cleared slime more than once without it. The real problem?

3. Acid damage increases for each unequipped item slot (50% chance if wearing a cloak).

Yeah, didn't know about that. Didn't wear any robe because there wasn't a randart at hand and a mundane robe with -6 enchant was quite unlikely for me to wear (for the moment). For my excuse - it was 3 in the morning and I was very sleepy Should have gone to sleep instead of going to slime pits

Everything was going pretty decent until i stumbled in a tight corridor. Couple of turns and good bye my sweet Empo. Anyway, his ghost was killed by my other merfolk-winner assassin.

I heard in trunk walls don't burn with acid anymore?

[galehar]

They still burn. They don't corrode armour, though.

[joellercoaster]

Not having been into the Pits sonce the first time I walked down the stairs and got munched in five turns, I feel I should ask:

As a Chei person in a full suit of Ponderous gear (I like to think of this as something like an old-skool diving hard suit), does a lot of the annoyance factor of the Slime Pits go away?

[starless]

Corrosion doesn't affect artifact armour, but the damage from acid will be the same.

I've never attempted the Pits without acid resistance, may be I should give it a try next time :>

[joellercoaster]

Aha. Foruitously, my character has just learned Dig. Sometimes, the right things just happen.

Might go have a look in a bit!

This is a crawl lesson I keep re-learning over and over
