yavp, TrCk Xom all the way

Xom, xom. Ok, after a xom death that made me take a break for 2 weeks, I came back with a vengeance and learned to live with the chaos god. It's really not so bad, just have to be extra cautious.

Possibly the most amusing moment was in zot5. I was taking things veery slowly, as xom was being extra mean. Xom wasn't happy with that. I start resting from some xom torment or something, and "xom has mutated you". Ok, 50% life taken, I hit rest again, and immediately "Let's go on a journey!". Bam, I end up 3 spaces from the orb. :twisted:

On a learning note, I felt I did better by not wasting xp on spells early/mid game. I didn't find any support spells until after lair/orc, so it forced me to focus on melee. I also had pretty terrible luck on the equipment, I think I only got 4 eas all game. Fortunately xom gave me a half decent steam dragon armour to boost my AC. That with a swiftness mutation+phase shift got me through most of end game.

Favorite level was the crypt 5 ending: a lava sea filled with flying skulls and a drawbridge into a fortress. Ok that sounds pretty generic after I type it, but it felt cool when I did it. :)

Here's my dump (http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/hhkb/morgue ... 042650.txt):

Re: yavp, TrCk Xom all the way

Trolls also have no problem going unarmed so that Xom doesn't have a weapon to animate.
You fall off the wall. You have a feeling of ineptitude.
