SpTr of Chei, a hell of an early game, he ran away from Dowan and Duvessa, two experienced OgBe ghosts, wight pack, and some other bullcraps. He finally knelt at an altar of Chei after he could use Blade Hands... but eventually the claws of a troll ended his quest.

[Hydralisk]

Yet another MiFi.
Found a vorpal trident and some useful artefacts (+dam, rElec) pre-Lair, took Shield of reflection off Donald in Orcs, and right after that god giveth me +12 crystal plate. I never, ever had 48 AC before! Right after that found rPois ring. Decided NOT to descend into main dungeon and clear Lair branches right away. Had some fun in Swamp, LOL'd when Aizul killed himself with poison arrow and reflection:

Most probably will go straight for the second rune right now (actually, not right now, next time I start the game).
I wonder, in what cruel way will Crawl kill this character, because this isn't normal.

Edit: even more fun in Shoals! (And Nessos killed himself too)

  Code:

DgCj who used a demon blade and freezing cloud to kill everything, learned lots of defensive spells, and ninja'd zot:5 at xl23 without breaking a sweat.
He also found three pairs of boots of running.
Overall it was a pretty fun game, but I don't think I'll be rushing back to dg any time soon. The "worship chei without having all the nastiness that comes with worshipping chei" is quite nice, but gets kinda boring eventually.

Also, my zot:5 was awesome. On my second tele, I ended up 4 squares away from the orb chamber; I took a couple of steps, scblinked, and a square above the orb. Nice and straightforward.

At that point the most notable feature of my screen was this gem on the monster list:
XXXX 24 orb guardians

Almost every square around me had a guardian on it. Never seen anything like it.
(then my next tele landed me about 6 squares from the upstairs and so I went and won)

(it was my third win in 10 games )

OgBe, met his end while stairdancing the welcoming committee of Vault:8. Whoever said Ogre is a beginner/newbie race, DON'T say it again. Just don't.

Most people are quoting badwiki instead of playing an OgBe, picking up a GSC on D:5 and having it usable by D:7. Even some "caster" backgrounds are pretty easy (especially IE and Su, IMO).

[nicolae]

My last few games have all proceeded like:
"I'm going to do it, I'm going to stop playing like crap, I'm going to pick an easy build and get shit done completely. I'm going to get those damn runes."
*picks beginner build*
*splats on D:3*

[Blade]

DDAK is one of the worst combos because you have no good way of healing ever (Lucy doesn't heal you and will KILL YOU upon abandonment). I really like AK, and wanted to see how far I could get with it. So I started out, exited the abyss within a few turns...

and landed between a gossamer rune mimic, a barnacled rune mimic, a silver rune mimic, and an orb mimic. Next turn, they killed me.

Best. Death. Ever.

(thanks for the fun vault nicolae. )

hahaha

Does that vault accurately depict the Lair runes you're going to get? Are these even "known" to Crawl at that point in the game?

You're welcome, but oh dear, I think that one might be a bug.

cerebovsquire: It's three random rune mimics from the selection of all of them, there's no easy way to check which actual Lair branches you're getting and I probably wouldn't have bothered anyway.

[moocowmoocow]

I was DDNe and got my first ever win without savescumming (played online to keep myself from doing it). Scariest moments were getting chased by a bunch of demons and death drakes in the abyss. I used up all my healing consumables before teleporting, so I thought I was gonna die but then I remembered "durrr Mahkleb gives HP for kills". Vault 8 was the funnest moment for me because I'd just gotten Shatter for the first time so I just pressed button and everything died. I got some weird spriggan themed level in the dungeon... the druids and air mages were super brutal and I almost died a few times before proceeding more cautiously. The Enchantress was the boss of the spriggan level and she dropped a sweet mottled dragon artifact armor. By the time I got to Zot 5 I was sick of playing so I took stupid risks and was lucky not to die. I didn't know Control Teleport didn't work for the ascension run so it was kind of scary for me. At the top level of the dungeon a Pan lord summoned 5 million eyes of draining/devastation, giant eyes etc. Barely made it out, and it was great feeling when I did.

[jejorda2]

The latest in a string of 50-something TrEE finally lived long enough to find statue form, and the failure rate was down in the 30s. I had a fast movement speed mutation. I discovered that troll claws still remove hydra heads in statue form and died. I guess I could have dropped the form and outran the hydra to the stairs, but I didn't think of that in time.

[pratamawirya]

MuIE of Xom (found an altar of Xom on D:1). He died just like that.

  Code:

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.10.0 character file.

144 Brengsek the Chiller (level 3, -10/24 HPs)
             Began as a Mummy Ice Elementalist on Apr 12, 2012.
             Was a Plaything of Xom.
             the severe capriciousness of Xom (34 damage)
             ... on Level 2 of the Dungeon.
             The game lasted 00:06:07 (1937 turns).

A random high level spell miscast?

A random high level spell miscast?

Almost certainly. Air, conjurations, earth, fire, translocations have miscast effects (at severity 3) that can do that much damage. A few other schools can do that much damage but wouldn't have to a mummy.

[pratamawirya]

MuIE again. This game just wants him to die. Centaur on D:2, another one on D:3 and a goblin with a sling of flame, and orc warrior on D:4.

EDIT: Yeah, he died.

[Wark]

  Code:

2430878 Wark the Slayer (level 27, 313/313 (315) HPs)
             Began as a Troll Chaos Knight on Apr 3, 2012.
             Was a Favourite Plaything of Xom.
             Escaped with the Orb
             ... and 5 runes on Apr 13, 2012!
             
             The game lasted 10:58:05 (103873 turns).

Probably the best thing was finding /hasting and /heal wounds around Lair:4. The only thing the game desperately lacked was enchant armour scrolls, there were about 5 of them. At some points I wished I could switch to Lucy/Jiyva, but the initial plan was to win without abandoning Xom, so I allowed her to keep me as her toy until the very end. Had 25 mutations by the time of ascension

[nooodl]

  Code:

541985 nooodl the Conqueror (level 27, 0/270 (277) HPs)
             Began as a Minotaur Berserker on Apr 15, 2012.
             Was a High Priest of Trog.
             Killed from afar by a hellion (19 damage)
             ... with a burst of hellfire
             ... summoned by an ancient lich
             
             ... on Level 5 of the Realm of Zot.
             The game lasted 04:55:05 (79317 turns).

And that's how I wasted 5 hours of my life for absolutely no result.

[Grimm]

Welcome to the club.

[Blade]

Yeah, that's something of a rite of passage. I've died with easily winnable chars more often than I've won. My condolences, though; it's never fun.

(on the bright side, that's not a bad realtime )

[nooodl]

IIRC there's about half an hour of breaks in there, and I spent quite some time wandering around in the Abyss without eventually finding the rune, so it amazed me as well! Also, I have a decent game going right now, on my way to Vaults... payback time, RNG.

[nooodl]

Just kidding, I splatted again:

  Code:

543513 nooodl the Invulnerable (level 26, -7/261 (267) HPs)
             Began as a Minotaur Berserker on Apr 15, 2012.
             Was an Elder of Trog.
             Killed from afar by a balrug (13 damage)
             ... with a fireball
             ... summoned by a lich
             ... led by Striaxew
             
             ... on Level 2 of the Realm of Zot on Apr 17, 2012.
             The game lasted 04:13:12 (78254 turns).

This time I did get the Orb though. Here's to the third try, then. (Also this realtime is even shorter!)

And that's a impressive chain of summons.

[Stormfox]

And a data point showing that, despite persistent rumors to the contrary, people do die on the Orb run.

[Blade]

I died foolishly with a spen speedrunner in shoals:5 because I had some glow and didn't want to risk invis. Before that, I had dived down to d:27 and found the zot entrance (and I had jiyva, so I just needed to grab 3 lair runes). Oh, well; it was my first good speedrun and an excellent learning experience. 13500 turns upon death, probably could have won in under 25k if I avoided splatting.

[TehDruid]

Come on Webtiles and have a good laugh with my current situation. I somehow managed to teleport randomly right in the vault and after killing 8 guards or so i went away but not for long enough. This character has the worst endgame i've ever had lol. This is now YAVP, surprisingly for me.

[pratamawirya]

A bunch of sad Ogre Hunters. The dungeon hated them and slaughtered them all.

[Jabberwocky]

A bunch of sad Ogre Hunters. The dungeon hated them and slaughtered them all.

It was the tab god being displeased at your playing a ogre and not purely mashing tab. In order to make up for your misdeeds you must play five OgBe's, focus M&F, grab the first giant spiked clubs you see and tab with them. Only then will the tab god be appeased and let you play something else. Thank you for using Jabberwocky's consulting.

Well, I did exactly that. But I was talking about a dungeon so evil as to drop you into an open space with a centaur and a bunch of bees. (And me so stupid as to not read a tele scroll immediately.)

[pratamawirya]

OgHu again. I hate Shoals.

[tasonir]

Notice a really common scroll type not on that list? Why yes, I have identified 16 scroll types without finding remove curse. I have a cursed ring of hunger on, and a cursed buckler (from reading curse armor, the other two I ID'ed) that I'd really like to remove, but hey, some days the floor gods hate you

Edit: managed to survive all the way down to d:12 where I finally found the first remove curse scroll. I fully cleared every level above except for D:9 where I had to flee from way out of control spores which were hard to clear because of electric eels in pools that made it hard to move around freely. It also had the orc stairs with lots of orc packs going around, so I just dove to D:10 and onwards. Now I can finally upgrade to a 2h weapon

[pratamawirya]

This game doesn't want me to win an Ogre. I just lost an OgTm due to a really silly starvation. Apparently autotravel doesn't check if the player is starving?

[BlackSheep]

Autoexplore yes, autotravel no. Seems like a good thing to check.

[pratamawirya]

A SpTm of Chei turned YASD because I underestimated the damn eels.

[pratamawirya]

Another SpTm of Chei, only this time he was MUCH more successful.

[Deimos]

I selected OgHu. I walked out of the entry vault. The first kobold I came across hit me with a dagger of draining and I instantly died.

Crawl is telling me something.

[pratamawirya]

The game hates us all man, and doesn't care about our feelings.

I think some 95% of drowning deaths are due to that bug.

Yeah, I didn't get a warning message....

[Jabberwocky]

What exactly was the bug that caused your death?

[BlackSheep]

I didn't see anything to indicate an equipment change, though. It looked like the spell wore off after the tide rolled in.

[Moanerette]

Just managed to get my XL11 MfEn killed, despite having found the autumn katana. I found the enchanter hexes utterly unreliable, even with a staff of enchantment, and was run down by Grum and his war dogs on D11. My whole top 25 now consists of XL 10-11 characters who died on D 10-11 or on floors 1-3 of Lair/Mines.

[Confidence Interval]

Retreating from bad guys in the Lair I got chapped in half by a trap. I've never lost such a high-level character directly to a trap before. Although I was training Traps & Doors it was only at 6.9.

  Code:

31087 ConfidenceInterval the Executioner (level 13, -4/97 HPs)
             Began as a Minotaur Berserker on May 6, 2012.
             Was a High Priest of Trog.
             Killed by triggering a blade trap (48 damage)
             ... on Level 6 of the Lair of Beasts on May 8, 2012.
             The game lasted 01:41:26 (21592 turns).

I hear so much about how powerful Tab is and how O and Tab can get you through the whole game. So I made a TrBe and pressed nothing but O, Tab, and arrow keys the entire game. I starved to death on D1. Those two buttons are seriously overrated.

i loled.

My recent games have a subtitle of "I agreed to attempt a FeFE of Fe" and I can't seem to make it to an altar of Fedhas. First game, a Centaur shot me with a poison arrow on the same turn he moved into view, doing 16 damage, while i had 14 hp.

second game, I got unlucky with miscasts (and got a mutation i've never seen before, that makes your spells harder to cast and more powerful), and ran out of mana while surrounded by orcs.

Third game this evening, I'll see what happens. I wonder if i should skip the casting at first and train up my fighting and dodging immediately for survivability...

[pratamawirya]

SpTm. I found a randart robe, on D:1! I thought it's not possible for a randart to be generated on D:1?

[Blade]

HaAM, would-be fifth game of a streak. Found a +5 ring of protection on d:1, and rings of tele and invis soon after. Saw a drar ghost on d:4, thought "I can sling it until it gets close to see how tough it is, and run if it's too dangerous. Speed 10 melee ghosts aren't that bad, after all."

Come to find out, it was a drar*xom and xom had given him fast movement and a great sword. I died while waiting for tele to kick in. :/

[Deimos]

Tabbed a rat, rat was replaced with an Ogre before I knew what happened.

[Mankeli]

Got abyssed with a heavy armored MuFi on lair:7 by a Zot trap while running away from a pack of war hounds *sigh*. My mummy stood absolutely no chance with only two telescrolls and no ways of healing. Too bad, I avoided or fought through quite a few dangerous situations before that.
