An incredibly heavy but extremely effective suit of crystalline armour.

Base armour rating: 14       Encumbrance rating: 23
Wearing mundane armour of this type will give the following: 21 AC

It affects your resistance to hostile enchantments.
It lets you see invisible.
It lets you turn invisible.
It makes you more stealthy.

This ancient artefact cannot be changed by magic or mundane means.
You acquired it on level 1 of the Vaults.


It would've been thematically perfect if it was named after Dithmenos :) Still an amazing acquirement!

Bought a lovely toy for my aspiring GnAE^Veh
T - the ring "Lego" (right hand) {rN+ EV+2 Str+2 Int+4 Stlth-}
(You bought it in a shop on level 2 of the Orcish Mines)

Everything is awesome! :D

Curiously, all three have an anti-swapping measure. Because everyone would want to swap them out.

This looks like a Trog gift:

  Code:
the +9 bardiche "Vameugei" {antimagic, MR+ Stlth+}

But in fact it was an Okawaru gift.

I can see that you are all confused. Since when does Oka gift antimagic? Since when does Oka gift anything good?? What world am I in???

Well... the answer is this: I was an unarmed OgTm, so the gift was only a joke, Xom style.

Got this from Oka on a Chucker:
  Code:
the +9 demon blade of Howuis (weapon) {elec, Fragile Int+3 Dex+3}

I find the weapon extremely elegant, though not overpowered. I could have believed it was a fixedart.
It is powerful enough that I don't want to unwield it (because it is fragile), but that locks me out of blowguns and staves. Possibly a good thing, because my inventory is half-full already with various kinds of javelins and tomahawks :lol:

Guarded by fire dragon on D:9 who died to 2 free cards of Nemelex. Almost useless ring despite so many properties because I am an acid draconian with dagger wearing rings of rC+ and MR+ while my last ring is one of flight. It can be useful just if I am going to need second MR+ vs a monster without cold attack.

In the case of any randart other than FDS, you'd be 100% correct. But Clarity and Slay combined, that's really nice loot.

I've won maybe 15-20 times but never with a caster. Playing as a Gargoyle Earth Elementalist so feel this is about as good a start as I could have hoped for.
