If everything is running just fine... YASD now DsWz
...then it's exactly the right moment to take a break.
This is just one of many things I had to learn while playing crawl...
But first things first:
So I am playing crawl again after a break of like 2 or 3 months.
Back then I played a lot for like 2 months and managed to descend a DsAK (which I played as a firestorming hybrid)
right to the Orb of Zot. After a crawl session of about 5hrs I grabbed the object of my dreams...
...and just got humiliated on my way back up.
It could've worked out just fine if I wouldn't have been that greedy and took a break to reconsider the whole situation instead.
After this I started some halfhearted attempts to get thus far again but literally gave up and took a break.
So here I am again and this time I want to keep things slow and efficient.
I started a game as DsWz and everything is too good to be true to this moment.
As you can see I am pretty lucky in finding some solid resistances.
Lair is just in front of me on D:8 and I'm totally happy with my mutations thus far.
I got a book with haste in it and to get things going now I just started training Fire for Fireball.
I just want to keep you guys involved in my current state so you can blame me if I'm messing things up.
I'm also going to tell you how the story of this character ends.
Don't expect me to beat the game. I just want to be some kind of responsible for my actions and hope I
don't end up doing something stupid like the flatfooted ascend last time...
Going to bed now.
Advice is very welcome at any time.
