YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

Hey all. Thought I'd kick off my first thread in the Tavern with the tale of Rolf, Minotaur Berserker.

I'm fairly new to crawl, having only played for a few months. I've been polishing my MiBe resume, and I think I'm not too far away from my first win. My very best char ever perished in Zot:1 after meeting a mob of draconians head-on, then failing to disengage soon enough. Still, I wasn't really angry. He died a warrior's death.

Rolf?

Not so much.

What really gets me is he'd been doing so absurdly well. The second gift I ever received from Trog was an executioners axe of holy wrath. After that, I poured all my scrolls of enchant weapon into it, because c'mon. That thing would have gone through the Hells, the Crypt and basically the entire end game like a lawnmower through a chocolate cake. (Weirdly enough, the scrolls stopped working after I got it up to +5+6. It just gained a brief sheen, and that was it. What gives?) I was strolling through the vaults after clearing Snake and Shoals, and found a labyrinth on the #rd level. I took it, murderized the weak, pathetic guardian (seriously, he practically exploded) and then jumped for joy when i saw an artifact plate in the stash. See, the one area I'd been unlucky in was Armour-I was still wearing a plus 2 splint mail I'd found back on D10. So I put on the mail without testing it and BAM, brainless.

Then, the second tragedy. I had earlier identified, then stashed a ring of intelligence earlier in the game during one of my many inventory shuffles. I found another one later on, and was carrying it when I put on the damned armor. In desperation, I shoved it on my finger--only to find it was a CURSED ring of intelligence. Alone, to stupid to read the scrolls that would have saved him, without a single potion of brilliance to comfort him, Rolf forgot to breath on Vaults:3.

*sniff*

So long, pardner.

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

you can actually keep trying to read, sometimes it will work. some people have commented that the message doesn't give you that impression, your death suggests they are right. Fortunately it has been changed - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4238&p=55172&hilit=brainless#p55172

I do also wonder why your int was only 4 to begin with, these events are rare but highly dangerous, and there are other causes of stat loss.

Enchant scrolls are less likely to work the more highly enchanted the item already is (guaranteed if +3 or less), but they can still work and once you have your best one to three weapons you might as well keep trying.

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

Scrolls of enchant weapon aren't sure things after +4; here's your exact chances of success:

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

Oh man that is a pitiful death. I guess dying of lack of intelligence makes Yet Another STUPID Death all that more appropriate.

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

As you know now, the remove curse scroll was the correct move.

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

I'm not sure that would have saved him? It seems like the plate armor was uncursed, the ring was cursed, but he was at -3 int. Removing the ring would take him to -1 int, and he'd still die. Removing the plate would save him, but removing the plate takes 11 turns. Does fainting interrupt removing equipment (and reset the removal process to 0)? I am not sure he could have gotten it unequipped in time.

The ring was his attempt to randomly save himself - it would have if it was int +2 or higher - the plate killed him.

@tasonir: the plate was cursed; check the items list. In this position, I would've quaffed brilliance, read ?rc, and removed the plate.

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

Ah, you're right, just checked his character screen and not the inventory, they were both cursed. In any case, you're right, with the brilliance first, then the remove curse, he'd have lived.

When in danger always check your entire inventory and don't act quickly!

Re: YSAD---Stat death MiBe is saddening.

playing with it in wizard mode, I've always taken 22 turns to unequip plate of -6 int while brainless, and never been interrupted. putting it on often caused paralysis, would take 11-15 turns.
