Anyways, I've been fighting the good fight, doing my best to advance a non-spriggan character, and fooling around with interesting builds. Well, after about a week of this, building up a nice new pile of ghosts, and never making it much further than the lair, I decided to heck with it all, and walked out on spriggaholicks anonymous.
I decided I've danced around stealth and stabbing builds enough, so instead of hybridizing into it, I decided to try the full needle-stabber route and rolled a SpAs. This is not her story. In the space of about 2 minutes, I stabbed a centaur at lv2, double leveled from it, and then got confused by and slaughtered by Sigmund (been a long time since he got me, actually!). This is the story of the following SpAs, who had slightly better luck than her predecessor (I say "she" and "her" since I've gotten bored with always looking at the same doll and have actually started varying the appearance and gender of my chars).
So, game-plan: stabbing, stealth, needle-stabbing as soon as I get some enchanted god gifts, possibly into the endgame, since it's been a while since I last properly humiliated any of the Rune Lords. Going Oka instead of Trog since I've won with Trog already, and I'd like to cast. This does mean I'll have less needle-gifts, but I figure I'll have enough by the time I need them and it'll be nice to get a char in full ridiculous gifted artefact gear if I can.
First few floors I had luck with the floor trash- I found two piles of needles on D:1, so I didn't have to be miserly with my ammo, and I quaff ID-ed 2 potions of +int. OF course, since I haven't found mut or cure mut this means I'm going to be scroll ID-ing potions for a while, but thankfully the floor god also provided quite the pile of ID scrolls (8 or 10 by D:3, I believe. Though they were un-ID-ed at the time).
D:5 was when things got exciting. It was the classic way too many uniques to deal with at once floor. First I found Dowan, who went down nice and neat to curare, netting me his dagger of electrocution. I spent the last of my asphyxiation inducers trying and failing to take down a bezerking Duvessa, and had to flee back up the stairs. I came down another way, started exploring, and then stumbled across and awoke Block. I tried to retreat, and only to find myself trapped in a corridor with an orc band- surrounded and standing next to an Orc wizard, with an Orc Priest in sight, and Block shoving his way through the ranks on the other side. Since I really didn't have the stats or skills to have any hope of surviving this, in desperation I turned to use-ID-ing. As luck would have it, the second scroll I read was identification. And it gave me a full 3 IDs. And I discover I had a potion of invisibility and scrolls of teleportaion. So I quaffed and I read, took a stab at the wizard, and I was out of there.
I appeared in an open room, the 3rd set of stairs in sight, with a medium crowd of jackels, hounds, snakes, ants and Edmund. Still invisible, I took the stab and got him and maybe one or two other things before I had to run for the the stars and use the hallway and stair dancing to finish the crowd of beasts. After that I went back to the now dispersed orc band and took them out one by one with either poison or electric mele. Then I went looking for Duvessa. Before I found her, I stumbled across Prince Ribbit, got the stab in, and advanced the floor's count to a unique 5X combo. Finally found the elf chick and let her chase me around in circles for a good long time as I slowly poisoned her to death, while she slammed me with darts for entirely too much damage.
Things have been easier since. I found a swampy vault with a bunch of electric eels and Gastronok that was unpleasant to clear, especially when it turned out not be guarding the lair entry as I thought it would. I also found my absolute favorite vault- the 3 x 4 metal room with a door filled with fast poisonous insects that instantly kill you! (averted, for once, when I got the door shut in time). There was also some trouble later when Maurice stole a wand of ploy other off me, and when Nessos showed up. I've visited an ice cave and a bailey, but all I got from either was experience since I had to retreat before getting to the loot.
Managed to miss the temple on the way down- it was a on wide open leveling shaped like a diamond, but there was this liddle passage off to the side I didn't see (had to rebind autoexplore just to find it... grumble). Thankfully, I found an amulet of faith, which along with constant vegetarian sacrifices should allow me to rake in muchos goodies in no time.
I get lucky with spellbooks so far- I'm basically an assassin / warper now, which is pretty awesome. Escape options, the ability to poison and kite things even in the middle of crowds (portal projectile ftw!), plus a now well enchanted dagger of electrocution (which, barring sweet artefacts or holy wrath later is pretty much the best thing for stabbing) and sufficient stats/skills to now stand in mele when I need to (heck, with Heroism and Finesse, I'm almost formidable!). Things are shaping up nicely.
So... yeah. excitement. I'd don't usually post characters this early- she's not quite far enough I can call her established (still at the point when shaping up nicely can all too easily turn into YASD...), but we'll see. I'm having fun, at least.
