Odd things sighted in dungeon.

[Blade]

Recently, I had a TrBe die from wear-IDing a Ring of -3 Intelligence without Remove Curse available (a stupid death, I know, but I play TrBe to wind down, not to win). The cause of death was listed as "forgot to breathe." I laughed, moved on, and later thought...what about Grey Draconians and the others that don't need to breathe?

So I pulled Wizmode up for a test, and found out that they don't forget to breathe. Instead, they forget to exist. I love finding little Easter eggs like that.

In case anyone doesn't know and is curious, the death causes for strength and dexterity statdeath are "crushed under their own weight" and "slipped on a banana peel" respectively.

(yeah, I know this isn't -exactly- an odd thing sighted in the dungeon, but this feels like the best place to put it)

[sirprim]

Ahh, decisions, decisions...

...finally found loot in hell (cocytus 5)

the final levels of hell have lots of loot...?


anyway, here's a cruel little dev joke (luckily I was in the abyss by choice and didn't want to leave)

I know, but I've never found any on levels 1-6


I've seen another cruel abyss exit:
at the end of a short tunnel with 3 doors; behind the last door is a single tile room with the exit...
...and a lorocyproca sitting on it (luckily I was also there by choice and had see invisible)

[Blade]

On D:4, I just found a buckler, Bullseye, and a dwarven large shield, for all my shielding needs ever.

[Dingo]

The wizard asks, "What the hell are we doing here? Hmm, I see..."

[Pteriforever]

Ran into a death yak on D:9 as part of a lair entrance. Talk about OOD. I can only just handle an ordinary yak at that point!

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

This dwarf wears mimic pants hanged with mimic teeth.

I think it's weird that summoners can train summoning faster by not summoning than by summoning.

...huh. I'd never thought of that.


Still, better than victory dancing.

might be a nice way to make a stash in an unsafe area

[Daydreamer]

It isn't just items! Observed in 0.8 (though I think I've seen it in 0.9 too), a napping merfolk.

Sadly my next attack triggered my berserkitis, which seems to be somewhat noisy and everyone woke up. So I never found out whether I could have stabbed him there.

[AtT]

I guess this is an "odd to not sight this" but I played an entire (3rune) game without finding one single item with rPois. Not a single pip.

[Pteriforever]

The game likes uniques today.

Five on one level. Wow.

[Grimm]

Technically only four, as Dow/Duv always show up together.

[dolphin]

Drat, didn't mean to thank . . .

But you can kill them separately. It's not like a yaktaur captain and his herd are considered one monster, even though they spawn together

You could definitely have stabbed him there, if you were seeing this bug:

[Galefury]

This doesnt look like 4705. There is a different bug that lets band monsters sometimes spawn in walls.

Girls' night out - AGAINST ME.



And they did all show up at once:

[Blade]

...

So, there I was, innocently clearing Vaults:8 out. I had gotten the rune. I saw a runed leather armour with something underneath it, so I went over to investigate:

Suddenly I was being attacked by a rune that had been hiding under a leather armour. A runed leather armour.

Girls' night out - AGAINST ME.

Good thing your imps were being so helpful. Something tells me the higher numbers don't correlate with greater intelligence.

[Grimm]

Demonic guardian 1 isn't much good anyway, even if they'd moved in to the attack. A lot of imps gallantly gave their lives in ineffectual service to me.

One of the last things you want to see when opening a door on L 2.

...this is a minmay vault, right? It's got to be a minmay vault.

All the downstairs in a room with four oklobs...wow. Quite possibly the most frightening Crawl screenshot I've seen.

I was just inspired to make an obscene vault where all the downstairs are packed in a long complicated room full of oklobs and then in a secret little niche most players won't bother looking at there's one or two potions of invisibility.

[KoboldLord]

I think that one's one of dpeg's, actually. You might try Orc first this game, or possibly resort to using an escape hatch to get to Lair 3.

[Grimm]

Actually I made it through. XL 13 DsFi^M. I put on a junk randart cloak, my invis ring, sparked invis (like an old zippo it took several tries), chugged speed and might, and just ploughed through them. Plate went down to -2, shield from -2 to -4. Makh's HP recovery really helped. And two floors down I found a demon whip of elec and rF plate.

[ilpalazzo]

wow, that must be one ancient vault

[Stormfox]

Just a funny message combination thanks to a hell effect:

"Die, mortal!"
You feel very buoyant.
_You gently float away from the floor.

What's Antaeus trying to do, bash my head against the ceiling?

[ekolis]

Apparently he's sending you to heaven?

[Blade]

Your body shudders with the violent release of wild energies!
You feel genetically stable.

[Grimm]

I'm in this Sewer:



I've always thought that that was the extent of it, but I happen to be in there with antennae 2 and I see that there are more monsters:



Question: How do I reach those monsters? I see no obvious locations for secret doors.

Oh, I love funny screenshots! Here're a few of mine:

1st)These draconians are too busy enjoying a hot bath to bother attacking me
2nd) Can you spot the one that doesn't belong?
3rd)Just a bunch of loot in the middle of a room, no special vault surrounding it, nothing. How and why some beasts brought a bunch of loot into their lair is unknown

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

The third one must be "The Abandoned Stash"!

I had this Vault occur in a relatively recent game, at first i was like @$%Q@, but then I made it through by using escape hatches from both sides, so no harm done. Finally I got pissed and summoned 2-3 brothers in arms and we cleared it.
However, in a more recent game I saw another Oklob Vault that had like 8 plants. Not on such a bad place though, lol. See, sometimes Fedhas is awesome.

[Tiber]

I was enslaving some monsters to suicide themselves against an Oklob. A wolf mostly destroyed the bush protecting it, and a giant frog went and killed it.

This must've been the laziest Oklob ever. It only attacked the frog once and basically let the frog kill it.

Unpleasant reception committee:

  Code:

There is a stone staircase leading up here.
You climb upwards.
Sigmund shouts! Grinder shouts!
Sigmund points at you and mumbles some strange words.
The magic dart hits you!
Found a glowing silver altar of Zin.
There is a stone staircase leading down here.

You can see Grinder and Sigmund.

[Grimm]

Those two guys have been getting just a little bit too friendly with each other lately.

[Roderic]

They are near to an altar of Zin... does Zin allow gay-marriages?

[Pteriforever]

I was getting these bizarre messages. I had defeated Prince Ribbit a while ago, but I kept getting these funny combat messages:

  Code:

Prince Ribbit barely misses something. Prince Ribbit hits something.
Something misses Prince Ribbit. Something barely misses Prince Ribbit.
Prince Ribbit barely misses something. Prince Ribbit hits something.
Something hits Prince Ribbit!
Something hits the ogre. The ogre barely misses something. The ogre barely misses something.
There is an open door here.
Prince Ribbit hits the ogre. Something barely misses the ogre.
Something barely misses the ogre.
Prince Ribbit hits the ogre.


But as it turned out:

  Code:

You can see a friendly crimson imp, the friendly Pikel the big kobold zombie and the friendly Prince Ribbit the human zombie.

I love shadow imps. I didn't even notice.

[ilpalazzo]

They are near to an altar of Zin... does Zin allow gay-marriages?

In adom you just could sacrifice both of them now
