Yet Another Very Very Very Stupid Death on a level 27+++ char

Can Tornado be dispelled ?
Or is it because of Cheibriados + slow movement that it only last 3 turns ?
(and no, i have no free spell slot for fly as i just learned necromutation due to very fast metabolism problem)

On a positive note : i've played with the Gong (the unrandart shield with Spirit which make noise when used) for quiet a long time. Spirit is really strong with the mutation that give you mana on damage, and you don't have to run after ennemies when the whole level comes to you

I haven't cast tornado, so I can't say much about that, but I do worship chei quite often, so I can tell you plenty about her. You'll want to turn on show game turns so you can see how long your steps take - on my nagas at full piety it is 2.8 turns per step, but demonspawns should be around 2.4 or so, you'd have to check. Turn on both lines:

show_gold_turns = true
show_game_turns = true

in your rc file. Then at least you'll know how long tornado lasts If you're staying in one place and attacking, and you still get only 3 turns, then tornado is lasting roughly 1.8 turns (demon tridents attack at .6 speed assuming you have the right skills). I find that understanding game time is important for anyone, but it's absolutely essential for any chei worshipper. Now I'm off to go play the slowest melee fighter you can build

Very interesting settings. Just try it and it is really nice to have those numbers. Thx

Every death make me stronger !

In my experience, only if you blink/teleport.

Sounds about right; if you were moving at 1/3 speed then that's around a 10-turn tornado which would be pretty good normally. You certainly shouldn't be relying on Tornado to fly over deep water. Did you get a chance to act after "The winds around you start to calm down."?

[Danakh]

No I got both the message that winds calm down and the message that i drown at the same time

The game prompted him about entering deep water with an expiring lev status, but he ignored it.

That is true
