Are you certain they weren't both mimics?!

So that's where baby mimics come from.

When attempting to G+> my way from Geh:3 to Geh:4...

Stranger yet, it actually worked. But I think Crawl recognized its silliness, because I can't recreate it.

This orc is strangely indecisive.

If you were worshipping TSO, would you have to sit down and wait for the orc to decide which weapon he wanted to use before continuing? It's a bit mean otherwise.

I believe enemies can wield weapons without taking a turn.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent changes to stacking/stashing? On the plus side for the player, you just got the bless/curse status of 3 weapons for free...

Whoever architected this vault deserves a swift kick in the groin. Yes, even if it was a woman.

This was before reaching any of the Lair's branches too. Fortunately the escape hatches turned out to be a relatively safe alternative.

Code:: A shout rips itself from your throat like a ripe choko!

I once, playing a HuFi, blundered into a shaft and fell many levels. Just as I escaped up the stairs another HuFi came into sight only to be killed by an arrow. My character was, much later, hit by an orc with a mace of disruption and transported into the path of a centaur warrior who shot me to death. As I tried to flee and the fatal arrow struck, a low-level HuFi came into sight but ran upstairs.

Do you see? The distortion effect not only teleported me but sent me back through time. IT WAS MY OWN DEATH THAT I WITNESSED.

screenshots or it didn't happen

Oh ye of little faith...

Well consider: how could you have witnessed your own death if you're sitting here now alive, reading and responding to posts. Explain that, if you can.

Magic?

That ain't no answer.

You could replace "have witnessed" with "be reporting" and make the same query of any YASD post. I propose you take your question there.

or should I say BURNS cause you're Scottish

Perhaps BYRNE after the Scottish dramatist and designer.

Or BAIRN for the famous children.

Or BURN for the famous rivulet.

How about BURNS cause you're Scottish?

Can I claim Crawl Bingo points for this?

Sure.

BUMPITY

Technically not the dungeon, but the Ziggurat sprint sprint.
I think the image speaks for itself.

Spoiler: show

Your hat is cool. I always wanted to meet an octopod with a purple hat.

*casts Raise on this thread*

What I have to share today isn't so "odd" as it is "exceptionally awesome and well-designed".

I want to give MAJOR props to the vault designer who thought of THIS:

A Deep Dwarf Beserker Stronghold in the middle of the dungeon, guarded by all sorts of titans and brutes specializing in massive strength and power.

I sure as hell ain't going in there, but I couldn't pass up Scrying the place to see what it looked like, and boy am I thrilled that I did!

= = =

EDIT:

Within this same game, I stumbled across this:

I think I moseyed on into a bad neighborhood. ;_; I nearly shat myself when I noticed the Ancient Lich in there... and then oh look, Boris is right next door. Wow. Props to whomever thought up this vault too, but you're probably doing ten more years in Purgatory for it because this is unspeakable evil unleashed @_@

Quick quiz. What do these things all have in common?
Tomato sauce
Turmeric
Beetroot juice
Ichor

CLUE:

Don't forget about merlot.

Two are red, two are golden. One is powder, three are liquid. Ah! All are edible.

All are, indeed, edible. Just be careful not to spill any on your nice clean robe. Or your weapons.

Or my...johnson.

The edge of the map; there's nothing behind it. Whatever was behind there, the orcs didn't want anyone getting in.

Or out.

How'd you manage that?

Xom?

More specifically, !berserk rage and then Xom. I don't know if Xom can berserk a lich, but he can lich a berserker!

You appear to confirm it from some presumably supraliminal source of intelligence. I ask again: how do you know ichor is edible?

Maybe he was The person who rammed the yatch into Great Cthulhu?

The...yatch?

Grimm wrote:The...yatch?

Sorry, it's hard to type on a tiny little touch screan. I mean the kind of boat.

Is it like a ketch?

The word I meant was yacht. A yacht is any recreational boat or ship.

Are you sure a yatch is not a special kind of Québécois boat - an Arcadian ketch perhaps?

I don't believe so.

Maybe you meant a kecht.

Or kedgeree? Is that widely consumed in Quebec?

You have kedgeree brokers on every street corner in Montreal but unfortunately I am currently residing south of the line.
