Somewhere in the Orcish mines:

  Code:

You see here the golden dragon corpse of Saint Roka.
You finish chopping the golden dragon corpse of Saint Roka into pieces.
Things that are here: a gold dragon hide; 2 chunks of golden dragon flesh


[Jarlyk]

You find laying on the ground on D:4

the +6 ice dragon armour of Virtue {+Rage rF- rC++}

...and you're playing an Octopode.

[nicolae]

You find laying on the ground on D:4

the +6 ice dragon armour of Virtue {+Rage rF- rC++}

...and you're playing an Octopode.

Why would you ever identify unrands your species can't use, it seems like a surefire recipe for heartbreak.

[Jarlyk]

Must be a masochistic streak; I just had to know when I saw it was an ice dragon armor.

[Mankeli]

I love it when I'm playing a FoBe so no haste/speed/swiftness/tele/blink and then this happens after that fucking neqoxec spending one turn in LOS before getting one-shotted.

  Code:

You feel sluggish.

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Jarlyk]

This happened on D:14

  Code:

You are cast into the Abyss!
To return, you must find a gate leading back.
You sense a powerful magical force warping space.
Found a gateway leading out of the Abyss.
There is a gateway leading out of the Abyss here.
You pass through the gate.


That's the first time I've ever seen an exit from the Abyss on the same screen immediately upon entering. When I saw that, I thought for sure that I'd wind up teleported away immediately after stepping onto the exit portal.

[Sandman25]

... I don't have any cloak after getting a rune and acquire +0 cloak of Starlight {rElec rC+ EV+4 Stlth-}.

[Sandman25]

  Code:

Things that are here:
an uncursed dagger of venom {Sonja}; an uncursed glowing blowgun
s - an uncursed glowing blowgun
s - a +11 blowgun (weapon)

[monty]

One shot-ing big monsters with OOD. Those scattered chunks are the most satisfying sight in crawl.

[Confidence Interval]

...I fight Geryon and I get the horn.

I didn't think it would affect me in that way but often, after we've fought and I've beaten him, I just get the horn.

Feels good.

[Grimm]

classic CI right there

[Grimm]

o.k. let's rename this subforum Crazy Interval's Corner

[moocowmoocow]

Cast OoD at draconian shifter. It Blinks me in front of OoD path. Cast teleport control, blink on other side of OoD. Shifter blows up.

[Grimm]

I bet you felt pretty Smaug about that.

[Sandman25]

I bet you felt pretty Smaug about that.

Yes, I thought something like "That was your big mistake, someone is going to die soon"

[Sprucery]

  Code:

The red draconian annihilator gestures at you while chanting.
Your +1 shield of reflection reflects the crystal spear!
The crystal spear hits the red draconian annihilator.
You kill the red draconian annihilator!


[Confidence Interval]

I bet you felt pretty Smaug about that.

Your bad punning is becoming a bit of a hobbit.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

I bet you felt pretty Smaug about that.

Your bad punning is becoming a bit of a hobbit.

Just as smelly, snarky and with furry feet. =)

[Grimm]

I bet you felt pretty Smaug about that.

Your bad punning is becoming a bit of a hobbit.

That's what I'm Tolkien about!

[Confidence Interval]

Your bad punning is becoming a bit of a hobbit.

That's what I'm Tolkien about!

Oh, I didn't mean to say hobbit, I meant to say Hubbard. Sorry for the confusion.

[Grimm]

Elrond Hubbard?

[Confidence Interval]

Elrond Hubbard?

Very good!

I'll set em up, you known em down.

[Grimm]

What?

[Confidence Interval]

You know, skittles.

[MDvedh]

We can see an example of "erudite and informative dialogue" going on right now.

[Confidence Interval]

It is not ridiculous and senseless, either.

[epsilon]

Game doesn't shy to express its hate for you. Hound, centaur and orc pack with priest and mage - all on the same D3.

[Moanerette]

...Ijyb traps me next to the Conjure(d) Flames I've just used to deal with a frog zombie, turns me into a porcupine with his polymorph wand, then proceeds to reduce himself from full health to almost dead by whacking at my bristles.

[Arkhan]

  Code:

The red draconian annihilator gestures at you while chanting.
Your +1 shield of reflection reflects the crystal spear!
The crystal spear hits the red draconian annihilator.
You kill the red draconian annihilator!


This was my entire last run except my character was a Demonspawn with the Ignite Blood mutation so when the reflected projectiles hit their targets and drew blood they would burst into clouds of fire right on top of them.

[Hirsch I]

I love Ignite blood. it makes scrolls of immolation and burning the whole forest very fun.
