YASD - SENe

My first Sludge Elf, my first Necromancer, not counting the one that got killed on D:1 just before this one.

Everything was good until… rats. I mean, I've been able to defeat Pikel, Duvessa and Dowan with just casting Pain and quaffing Heal Wounds. But not orange rats.

  Code:
 Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-266-g2ecd869 (webtiles) character file.

1603 floatboth the Magician (level 8, -9/46 HPs)
             Began as a Sludge Elf Necromancer on Apr 9, 2013.
             Was an Initiate of Ashenzari.
             Mangled by an orange rat (14 damage)
             ... on Level 5 of the Dungeon.
             The game lasted 00:38:25 (7834 turns).

Re: YASD - SENe

Umm... it's an Orange Rat. They're native (though rarely spawn) in the Vestibule of Hell. It showed up here because you were in That Minivault with rats. Your build had no way to deal with it and shouldn't have dealt with it until much later.

Incidentally, you can't build a Necromancer as a pure mage. That's not how they were designed. A Ne is a hybrid starting package. If this isn't what you want, start as some other mage and worship Kiku (which I highly recommend).

I didn't know!

Wait. Actually, I've been able to deal with a lot of them. This was one of the last rats. Maybe even the last one.
I just… forgot to heal, that's why I called it a YASD.

I don't want anything in particular, I'm exploring all the things, just for fun :-)
I wanted to start training Fighting and stuff, but this happened.

Re: YASD - SENe

It's an orange rat. It's much stronger than all the previous rats you fought in that minivault. Maybe you could have beaten it, but I doubt your chances with no melee.

Learn to check the knowledge bots when you first see something you've never seen before. I wasn't the first person to get ruined by an orange rat, and you won't be the last one.

Re: YASD - SENe

I don't remember if the first time I got mangled by an orange rat was in that minivault or a sewer, but it was an humbling experience. Don't take a monster for granted just because of it's glyph, check what it can do if you don't know.

For the purposes of this discussion, I think the minivault and the sewer are the same. I got my ass totally reamed by 2 orange rats on a sewer vault though, and I now know that I had a guy who could have at the very least cleared Lair if I hadn't thought I was better than some stinkin' rats.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
