Bacon has the potential to make even the strictest vegan fall from grace.

Sometimes, there's junk under plants. This time, there's an absolute treasure. (This is on D:4 btw.)

(Actually, at the moment, it provides the exact same AC as my +2 robe, as I'm a centaur, and it does reduce my EV a bit, but still. I'm not going to argue with rPois and decentish AC for a negligible penalty.)

What price freedom? I guess he's got food...

He should be all right as long as he doesn't throw any stones.

On (I think) D:5:

I didn't touch any of those hammers. They were all there to begin with. Maybe Crazy Yiuf has gone mad survivalist?

That's a common variant of the Yiuf vault. It depicts him at an advanced stage of madness, when his hammer collection has grown to overspill his hut.

Now I can see the reason for its inhabitant being crazy. It would be really bizarre to find a hammer growing upwards from the place where there seemed to be a tree a few weeks ago.

minmay wrote:Sometimes the vault replaces all the trees with hammers.

Although hammers are not awesome weapons, when this happen it's great for finding a branded hammer for the early game. Or getting stuck with Distortion. But when was anything in Crawl perfectly safe?

I try not to kill Crazy Yiuf because I like his corner.

I always kill him because I like his +3,+3 quarterstaff of chaos.

Boris, Mara and Mennas all on Snake 4!

Yesterday, playing a SpEn, I found an unidentified book lying on the ground. Went up to it, picked it up...book of Maledictions.

I guess he could loan the spare copy out or something, but you'd have thought he'd at least recognize it.

(seriously, is this a bug or standard behavior?

this has happened to me too with a MuVM

Why do I keep finding early dragon armor on these CeGls? :/

Well, forget skirmishing. This guy's going to become a cataphract

EDIT: Well, he then died to a player ghost, and not a very strong one...

If you want to escape, this is one stairway you shouldn't follow down:

If you've got a scroll of tele you can use that then go back up the stairs.
Or there could be a hidden door.

KoboldLord wrote:So, uh. Trove on D15, demanding 6 scrolls of blinking. I have it, my whole stash of them, but I'm thinking it'll be worth it for the loot. I have alternative escape options, if I need them, and I picked up blurry vision 1 anyway, so the scrolls aren't 100% reliable.

Inside, I find the wand version, which has a good number of wands and some miscellaneous scrolls. Included amongst the wands are SIX wands of hasting.

Six. Wands. Of. Hasting.

I guess I won't need to grind charms much this game?

It's easy enough to explain, mind you. Trove loot is generated by acquirement code, which leans heavily toward the three good wands, hasting, healing, and teleportation. I had already identified healing and teleportation, so six of the seven wands in the trove ended up being the missing one of the three.

It's still quite a fascinating sight, all six of those wands sitting in my inventory.

Just had the same encounter in a trove: Only unidentified staffs was fire, poison and cold and i had ice magic 18, poison magic 0 and fire magic 0.

So voila, got 5 staffs of cold

Btw., the trove wanted Geryons horn as the price. If I had forgotten to blow it in the vestibule, would I now be prevented from going to hell?

Edit: Actually I see that I still have the horn in my inventory. Guess there is a special case for this in the code. So in other words, cheapest entry fee in the world 8-)

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... the worst secret door ever.

Lol I saw one of those this morning. Reminds me of those stupid nethack doors with only one space behind them. Like closets for hiding from stupid monsters? I guess that was the reason?

The poorly designed doors are the reason the animals are all running loose in the first place.

Oooooh, a ruined menagerie is a good idea for a Lair vault!

I did have a 'proof that ghouls are colour-blind' situation (a wall described as a "green crystal wall" that was purple in Tiles.) I was sure I saved a screenshot of it, but now I can't find it. :roll:

Michael Jackson's favorite scroll?

A very exclusive boutique.

First Crawl sauwastika or "Crawlstika" I've ever seen:

Hell sends it's most devious enemy to deal with my intrusion... butterflies!

A weapon that makes the wielder contemplate suicide. I wonder if it can cause a self-inflicted YASD?

The Abyss is a worshipper of Nemelex and will happily draw the Tomb card for you.

SHARK AMBUSH FROM FOUNTAIN!

And they're all friendly? WTF?

UTFO: where are they now? In Elf apparently.

Better put on the red light. Twice.

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING

Well, just arrived at D:5 and here's my collection:

Cue the quad spawn of imps (one of which will have a bow and arrows)

This was all after I had cleared Mines:4 and was cleaning up. So...9 uniques in side branches of the Mines. I was laughing by the time I fought Uruk.

A nice and hot jacuzzi.

This isn't an oddity, but I have NEVER encountered this guy before so I report it in case others haven't seen him yet.

I reckon the baker is part of the replacement for the hive. I think he has carried ten bread rations the past two times I've killed him.

Well when I killed him yesterday he just had 4 bread behind.

Second sauwastika:

I'd daresay it looks like more of a shuriken. xD

I got both the frog Lair:8 and the dog Lair:8 simultaneously. The frogs had most of the loot though.

Today, I encountered a fungal colony really early which did this:

I imagine you probably know that the swastika didn't have any negative associations until after the Nazis adopted it. Same thing with the pentagram. /Fun fact yay

Also That Yiuf vault mentioned earlier is my favorite vault ever along with the Mace of Brilliance as my fav fixedart. When the trees are all replaced with hammers you have like a 99.9% chance of getting MoB. (Probably). It was my first fixedart ever and I love the halo it got recently.

As for odd things in the dungeon lately, I turned a corner to find Prince Ribbit, Menkaure, Dowan and Duvessa lining up in a corridor for me.
So I was like "ZAP" bolt of fire

Don't you love multple unique floors?

I found a really weird vault early (d1/d2 ?) - filled with weird bats. Never seen most of them in any games before: microbats, gigabats, megabats, fruity bats, ghost bats, spectral bats, blinking bats, fire/ice bats and more...

As a Troll, I choosed none.

Evoke which item? (* to show all) (? for menu, Esc to quit)
You draw a card... It is the Blade. This is a plain deck of war {drawn: 2}.
Wield which item (- for none, * to show all)? (? for menu, Esc to quit)
You are now empty-clawed. You aren't wielding a weapon. Your claws twitch.
