Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

It seems you blinked right into Boris' OOD. How did that happen?

Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

I'm not sure about that. :-)
Actually I was trying to avoid his OOD, and I blinked by several squares from the OOD path, but it killed me anyway.
I'm even inclined to believe that it has been a bug.

P.S. offtopic: if the preposition 'by' is not correct in this case ('I blinked by several squares'), please correct me.

Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

Also a bit off-topic, but I've been reminded of it while reading this death log. I noticed whenever I'm hit with an OOD the message comes up twice, is that a bug, or am I actually getting damaged twice? (It comes up twice in his logs too)

Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

Usually my response to boris comes down to 2 ways:

1. Use teleport scroll
2. Kill him ASAP

Because the longer you're in his LOS the more likely he'll start casting spells.

Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

What about any general advice for my pers? Was he developed kinda 'not bad' or I'll need to change something next time? I mean skills, loot, spells.

Re: YASD! DEFE my best try

Threat of OOD is one reason why I always learn summon butterfly - it's so useful having chaffs.

As for the character growth, nothing seems out of the ordinary. What is abnormal is that you were venturing Snake:5 and Swamp:5. There is no reason to do this before you've visited Orc:4. In fact, there's no reason to do this until you've visited D:27.

Looks quite good. I think having firestorm and haste online before branch ends is excellent. Maybe if you'd concentrated a little more on fire/conj levels then FS would have a higher success rate? But I think I'm quibbling there.
The obvious thing is Orc 0/4 (and dungeon 14/27). Probably I would have done orc, another ~10 DLs and maybe the first few of Elf before tackling Shoals:5 and Snake:5. Remember that branch ends are harder than the branches.
Otherwise, Shoals:5 might be a good place to leave Boris (since it's better to leave him than have him return right after another fight).
Similarly, one good summon spell, so someone else takes the OOD, could have saved you...

Thank you! It was very informative. I'll take it into account next time.

Boris killed you because you didn't kill him.

It's as easy as it sounds. Look at some of the last lines of your game:

  Code:
Press: ? - help, Dir - move target cursor, p - siren
You miscast Fire Storm.
You are contaminated with residual magics.

It's generally a good idea to focus on raw power: lots of XP into primary weapon skill if you're a fighter, lots of XP into fire magic/conjurations if you're a fire elementalist.

  Code:
- Level 20,4 Spellcasting
* Level 18,3 Conjurations
- Level 11,0 Charms
- Level 4,1 Translocations
* Level 18,2 Fire Magic

Spellcasting is less important for spell power/spell failure. Next time I'd concentrate on having fire storm castable sooner, it was at 28% failure when you died. You'll feel much more comfortable when failure is << 10%.

Better luck next time!
