The Tavern

Gifted by Mennas, possibly the best tower shield I've ever found.

Which makes me think of a heron (as in the bird) blinking.

With the +7 strength I was able to cast Iron Shot in it with my HaEE with a little bit of training.

Yay! Iron shots from the hobbit in crystal!

This is mean. But yeah, I'm going to wear it.

Unfortunately on a VSVM who already invested a lot in magic.
Maybe I'll be able to use it by the end of Zot

Well, that stealth malus totally ruins it :)

Both of these were generated in the same game (bcrawl, if that matters):



What makes the crystal plate armour even better is that the way I've build my character I can wear it and still have positive stealth.

Acquired this off a scroll on D:2 on a MiIE. Yes, a Minotaur Ice Elementalist... been trying really hard to keep spellcasters alive so I thought I'd try a beefy race and then train them to be nothing but a spellcaster. It's, uh, very slow going.

Not just happy that I found this thing, I'm so happy I found it so early in the game, with my poor squishy little Spriggan, which wants to find its luck as an Ice Elementalist. Now it can sit in its Frozen Rampart Lair and actually do something against the bad ones who make it through to its sensitive skin.

Edit: It didn't help, I died three minutes later. I just can't win with a Spriggan, even with the best of Artifact rings.

apropos randart

A little sad I found this after upgrading my Tower shield of Positive energy to +7 :

A big ring with lots of power gems to give good resistance but the weight makes you clumsy

the ring of Jeumemeh {rElec rPois MR+++ rCorr Slay-2}

Found it on level 2 of the Depths, in a vualt. First rElec found i could use

The RNG smiles upon you!(As expected, I soon died of hubris)

I don't expect to remove that ring at any point... (playing a Palentonga Cinder Acolyte of Ignis).

Just look at this beauty:





It's like 2x rings of magic res + ring of Wiz + ring of Int+6 in ONE RING

Sorry for double post, but it's been few days since last post





And this is how I lost it -_- :



Wrath moth berserked me, slow after berserk ended... should have blinked/hasted/cast few spells to clear screen, instead I went to stairs... underestimated the situation, as usual.

This is the kind of thing you like to see when you read acquirement on Lair 2.

ring of Tender Moments {AC+4 Slay+4}

That goes interestingly with the name....

Armour of Early Dungeon Safety & Convenience:-

the +9 chain mail of Natuciag (worn) {rPois Str+3 SInv}
(You found it on level 3 of the Dungeon)

the ring "Tunuacic" (left hand) {rElec rPois rC+++ rN+ SInv}

It is an ancient artefact.

It renders you almost immune to cold.
It insulates you from electricity.
It protects you from poison.
It protects you from negative energy.
It lets you see invisible.

You acquired it on level 1 of the Depths.

Wow, I don't think I've ever acquired such a great piece of jewellery.
