This was definitely one of my greatest characters ever. I had another thread on the Character Builds section of this forum about Beogh's viability in late game. The general consensus seemed to be that orcish allies are far too weak late game to be of any use, and by stealing exp all game you end up in Zot alone and underpowered. While to some extent this was true, I will recount my tale and have YOU decide.

It began just like any other HOPr, a race to gain piety and convert the first orcs. I was able to convert the first orcs I saw, and that was a great help in the early game. Orcs actually deal decent damage and can defeat pesky retreating enemies such as Giant Ants and Snakes. I was able to upgrade an orc into a Warrior by D:5 or so, and he helped me defeat everything. Before I found and entered the Orcish Mines on D:7, he was already a Knight (no joke). I got a bunch of followers in the Mines and proceeded into the Lair, where I first began noticing my minions stealing my experience. I amassed nearly 16,000 exp in my pool with no way to spend it except by disarming traps. Eventually, I found a manual of fighting on Lair:8 so that solved any future problems.

There was a nasty vault on D:14 that had a Deep Troll and 3 Shadow Dragons (!!!). My army dispatched of them surprisinglly quickly. I then proceeded through the Hive, which I thought was quite easy, except for some reason I lost a Knight there (my first major loss of the game). Soon, my first-ever orc became a Warlord. I then found and entered the Vaults, where I lost a Sorcerer and the Warlord (because I accidentally attacked my Warlord with a poorly-aimed fireball, causing me penance and the lost of my original orc). A highlight was that once, after a large battle, Xtahua came so I teleported away and recalled my orcs. However, the zombies (raised by my Sorcerer) left behind were able to defeat Xtahua.

After Vaults I tore through Swamps and Shoals. Shoals was a breeze but I got banished once by Louise. Upon returning, I found that none of my orcs had died so I was pleased. However, I had a lot of trouble with the Swamp: mephitic breath + deep water drowned Urug and a Knight, I lost my only High Priest for the whole game to a hydra, I lost a Knight to Nessos, and another in the rune vault battle. I then cleared out Elven Halls 1-6 (which was ridiculously easy).

I then cleared out the Vestibule of Hell, and managed to escape without casualties. Frederick appeared, and because of some micromanagement on my part he took down one of my Warlords in 3 hits. I found Saint Roka and was able to convert him. I then found an even nastier vault on D:25, containing draconians and a Golden Dragon. I managed to beat them without any losses and picked up a nice GDA and some bad randarts. After clearing D:27 I returned to clear the Hall of Blades, where I found some great battleaxes, but Saint Roka just wouldn't drop his weak battleaxe of venom for some reason. I then went to Vaults:8 (where I had a ton of trouble with Shadow Dragons). I mean, look at this draining:

I lost a Warlord to banishment here, but otherwise everyone else stayed safe. I then fought through the Crypt, and found two Ancient Liches at the end. I lost a Knight here, no big deal really. At this point, I had 5 Warlords, 4 Knights, a Sorcerer, and Saint Roka.

I then went down to clear Elf:7. BIG MISTAKE. Because this was my first time ever in Elf:7, I had no idea what the castle room looked like, and was plunged into a large battle before i could react. Demons were summoned everywhere and my orcs couldn't cross the deep water to get at a death mage. A tormentor appeared and cast torment twice, reducing me and my orcs to barely a sliver of health. Eventually, I cleared out everything with surprisingly only a Knight lost. As I was resting up, all of a sudden, two demonologists appeared and summoned Fiends. I panicked and read a scroll of teleportation, but the turn before I TP'd, a Warlord and Saint Roka were defeated. I emerged from Elf:7 with just 3 Warlords, a Knight, and a Sorcerer.

And now to enter Zot: my first pack of draconians took down another Warlord, so I was down to just 4. And then I made what was probably the biggest mistake all game: I found a legendary deck of changes and started drawing cards to get Experience. One of the cards completely screwed my game over: But first, I drew a Shuffle. My STR became DEX, INT became STR, and DEX became INT. Unfortunately, I had 30+ strength and now I had 15 and was Overloaded at 165%. I had to drop almost everything I had just to keep going. But that wasn't even a big deal... because I drew the Water card, and the tide flowed in with some deep water and the rest of my orc army instantly drowned, leaving me walking on the water alone.

Knowing that I wasn't going to win, I still decided to try my best. I was already at level 27 so I magic-mapped each level of Zot and quickly descended to Zot:5. I explored a bit and encountered a player ghost, a MfCr of Makhleb. And here i screwed up big time again: as a character with absolutely no extra MR besides the innate bonus (and Hill Orcs have the lowest bonus in the game), I got confused by his Confuse spell (why would anyone bother learning that?) and went through 11 potions of heal wounds, 7 charges on a wand of healing and 2 potions of speed before I remembered to just teleport away.

Well where did I land? In one of the six orb chambers, next to an Ancient Lich and a draconian. I teleported again and landed next to some orb guardians. I quickly healed up with my wand, quaffed a potion of speed, and took down the guardians with relative ease. As I was resting up, a Killer Klown and an orb of fire came at the same time and started doing bad things to me. I hasted again (no more potions, this time with my wand), spammed wands of healing, and actually managed to defeat the orb of fire with just 16 HP left. The Killer Klown kept blinking away and so couldn't harm me, but a stupid 25-speed Death Cob came. I hasted again and managed to run back into a small corridor, blocking the Death Cob's attacks as I went. So I had 10 HP left. I put on an amulet of rage, berserked, and took down the Death Cob in 2 hits. My HP was dangerously low and I couldn't rest anywhere without enemies swarming me, so I ran through my 6 scrolls of recharging on my wand of healing just trying to stay alive. Eventually, I found a nice corridor to hide in and take down creatures one by one. I dispatched various dragons, electric golems, and even a Killer Klown easily (lost less than 50% HP each time).

When no more enemies came, I advanced slowly towards the orb... and suddenly an orb of fire came out. I hasted, but with my wand of healing empty and scrolls used up, I died. Yet another stupid death.

Biggest mistakes:
-Drawing from that deck of changes.
-clearing Elf:7 (didn't find any really good loot)

Anyone else want to play a HOPr of Beogh? Some advice:
-don't use shields of reflection. They will reflect that little dart onto your Knight and make him hostile.
-it takes literally FOREVER to move between dungeon branches. Your orcs are impossible to herd because zombies summoned by your Sorcerers stay on each level and do nothing but take up space.
-you can safely depend on your orcs for anything not Elf:7 or Zot (and probably Hells and Pan). They're stronger than you think. A Warlord can take down a yaktaur captain in 1-on-1 ranged combat by throwing stones.
-Do not forget to stay in the front lines and fight! Or else you really will end up in Zot alone and underpowered.

I was alone, but only because of the deck of changes. I was not underpowered; I wasn't overpowered, but I could hold my own.

My highest score ever. Rest in Peace, tormodpwns the HOPr of Beogh.

Re: YASD - Zot:5 HOPr

Nice! You might have actually pulled that of if you hadn't kamikazed your stats and your army with the deck.

I forgot about the zombie-choke. I really wish the caster Orcs would stick to blasting and summons, the zeds just get in the way. Sometimes I've had to chop them up jut so I could get a full force of orcs next to the stairs. ...and don't get me started on when they raise an honorable orcish cadaver I was ready to consecrate!

Elf:7 is definately a nasty place for HOPr. I once died standing in a front of a hallway, trying to protect the critically inured Orcs behind me from the rampaging demon horde.

Re: YASD - Zot:5 HOPr

I cleared Elf:1-6 solo, because bringing your orcs everywhere is tedious. And huge groups of orcs are better in open spaces (i.e the dungeon, vaults, etc.). My zot strategy was simple: Run downstairs quickly, teleport randomly on the last floor, and recall my troops when I'm near the Orb. Then, I used a wand of haste on my warlords and charged in.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
