Zeepok the DEWz of Sif

[mumra]

Had a generally pretty good start, found an early Sif altar so prospects were looking good. Got up to 6* piety and got my first book (which for once was half reasonable) before I'd even seen a lair entrance! (Now at D:9 and still no Lair or Orc)

Then found an artifact amulet, thought "my luck's really in today"... tried it on - Dex+2, Int-3, Faith. Really annoying. Decided I couldn't risk the Int loss and took it straight off - didn't realise I'd lose two full stars of piety. Seems like a pretty stupid effect, now I've got so much ground to catch back up just to start getting books again

[mumra]

Argh, it was going so well. Had Ring of Flame memorised and castable for the first time. On D:11 there was a huge fungal colony all over the place; spent way too long trying to clear it up and started running out of food. So was heading down to D:12 to start looking for some comestibles when a Shop Mimic poisoned me and nearly killed me; used all my healing potions, ran back to Temple to pick up more; then tried eating a Sky Beast on D:12 out of desperation and got Fast metablism, probably the worst thing that could have happen. Couldn't find any more food on D:12 and just starved... Really lame

Still, up until that point nothing really came close to killing me. Should have just left that colony until Ring of Flame was on hungerless; awesome spell for clearing out rooms full of fungi.

[mumra]

Don't wear unidentified artefact jewellery. It won't help. You can't identify them fully without using a scroll, and a lot of them are cursed, so you'll likely just end up wasting a remove curse scroll. Not to mention that they frequently have such harmful effects as faith.

I learned my lesson Managed to get back up to 6* and get another couple of books before my untimely demise anyway. Finding Sif early just seems to make it so much easier; I think training skills from a low level gives you piety way faster.

[mumra]

Wow, hadn't actually read through the whole morgue file, just noticed:

  Code:

  189 ballistomycetes


I knew it was a lot but that's ridiculous. I wonder how much XP I'd have got if I ever cleared up the whole colony?

[Gabriellk]

You would receive the same xp as always. The size of the colony doesn't matter.

[Daydreamer]

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think eating mutagenic corpses ever provides nutrition. That seems to have been my experience, at least. Good luck for next time.

I knew that ... but I was desperate, hoped the RNG would favour me with some potentially life-saving mutations. Got the opposite

I was sure I'd destroyed larger colonies and received way more XP for it. Fairly disappointing all round then...

Oh right. Yeah, you definitely got about the worst one possible. Of course.
