Also I did not curse I think I will remember it as one similar thing that happened to me in nethack (although I have beaten nethack). It makes some nice stories.

I once lost a wizard in the elemental plane of air in NetHack. Didn't play much NetHack for a while after that.

What kind of char do you reckon you play next?

Been too long since I played, what's a decent startup and a goal to go after?

The Orb of Zot

More seriously, my personal go-to "I'm gonna win this one" combos are Minotaur Fighter (TSO or Okawaru as the fancy takes me) for when I'm feeling bashy, and Deep Elf Fire Elementalist for when I feel like a squishy caster (my current run.) I also like Hill Orc Fighters who convert to Beogh and Felid Transmuters of Nemelex for more off-beat fun choices (never won with either, but gods based on hordes of permanent equippable minions and random chance are fun!)

As far as a goal, if you look at the rules and scroll down to banners, you can see a whole bunch of achievement-type things to try for; they're not worth points (except in a few cases,) but they're good for bragging rights and feelings of self-improvement, and they cover things as simple as "reach XL 13" and as absurd as "Enter Tomb for the first time after picking up the Orb of Zot, and then get the golden rune"

What kind of char do you reckon you play next?

Probably something similar but not the exact same combination to get the point for higher combo (hopefully). I'm thinking Demonspawn Skald of Yredelemnul, because I love Ds and Yre is just too powerfull. I wont use any magic at the beginning though, I just like to have some int to start with.

[Delta Foxtrot]

@Aelig:
You could have actually been the first guy to win a Yred game this tourney. Technically you still can, though there's a lvl20 MiDK which will probably nab it first.

Been too long since I played, what's a decent startup and a goal to go after?

Minotaur Berserkers are de-facto easy mode (as much as Crawl has one). Most burly melee race berserkers are quite potent. Troll Berserkers are probably the strongest early gamers with considerable difficulties later on.
Hill Orc Abyss Knights (of Lugonu) are a strong melee combo that gets loads of escape options if invocations skill is trained. Alternatively play a Hill Orc Fighter/Gladiator that picks up Okawaru (increased melee ability & god gifts) or Makhleb (health for kills, ranged attacks & summons). All three gods have good abilities that rely on invocations skill.
Centaur Hunters with bows and polearms allow for some easy kiting, HOFi/-Gl god picks apply here as well.

Try to reach the Ecumenical Temple if you can. Lair of Beasts after that. If you can consistently reach Lair, try to clear it. That should keep you occupied for a while. You will probably find Orcish Mines before Lair, don't go there until after (parts of) Lair though. OM is potentially full of ogres, orc priests and other newbie favourites.

   Well that was an interesting game though it got ended by a invisible Maurice with a drain wand. I managed to kill three player ghosts and complete an Ossuary. If anyone can see something I could have done better advise would be appreciated.

Eew, I don't know as I've ever seen Maurice that early in the game. That's one of those situations where you should just run as soon as you see him. Maaaaybe if you had See Invisible along with that ring of MP, but that would require some luck to get that early in the game. Incidentally, what's "Zin's Purification Station?"

I do notice you had 9 spell levels free, so you probably should have had another spell memorized; I can see leaving some spell levels free for Vehumet's gifts, but I'd still rather use more slots than less. I see Vehumet offered you Bolt of Fire; it's a pretty good spell, any particular reason you passed on it? He also offered Ignite Poison, which is quite helpful in the Lair. I'll particularly note the Level 2 Repel Missiles (which is a great spell, a lifesaver against centaurs and the like,) and Swiftness (which probably would have helped you outrun Maurice, though he does blink around a lot.) Looks like you really liked that Searing Ray spell; I haven't used it yet, so I don't know how it stacks up to Mystic Blast (apart from being much cheaper, which is nice.)


For my own character question, I've got a DEFE of Vehumet who was just offered Bolt of Fire, but I'm not sure if it's worth the spell slots. I've got Poison Arrow for my high damage single target spell (which is enhanced by my Staff of Poison,) and I have both Poisonous and Freezing Clouds for when I need to hit an area (with the option to Ignite Poison if I especially want walls of fire,) so I'm not lacking in the two main capacities I'd look to use Bolt of Fire. Is it worth taking anyway, or should I just bank those spell slots toward the Firestorm he'll hopefully be gifting me?

Ok guys, I'm back here to ask for you help.
I still have my Gargoyle of Ashenzari, now XL24 (best run so far).
And it needs a new weapon.
I cleared the Vault & the Hall of blades looking for something, but nothing good so far.

So I've still my nearly first morningstar, brought from +2/+3 to a "nice" +4/+6 vorpal...
And I got 3 runes. Should I go for Zot now, or try & get a new weapon ? If so, where ? Abyss ?
By the way, I haven't found any good amulet, until now (even clearing elven Hall). Any Idea ?

[vogonpoet]

What great maces do you have? I would be tempted to give up my shield in your case, and go great mace. Then transfer your shield skill to your Charms or something, and maybe get some support spells online. I mean, you are with Ash, so its not a terrible choice to ditch the shield... I don't know, just feels that with 61 AC its more offense you need, not defense.

[tompliss]

I found no artifact great mace, and the best I have are +5/+1 Great Maces of Protection. So nothing that good ...
I think the only other brand I found are GM of freezing, but with less enchantment, but I have 2 or 3 scrolls of brand Weapon (and not many scrolls of enchant weapon)...

[vogonpoet]

Well a GM of Freezing sounds pretty good, I would probably go with that. The 5 extra base damage on the GM is going to be pretty significant I would of thought.

[tompliss]

Err, I missread, or didn't remember right from last night : it's a flaming one. may not change many things, but as I am getting some spells in the Fire and Ston schools, it would put nearly every damage output in the same element, so ... :/

EDIT : cleared the Slime Pits : no Mace.
Scrolls of torment + scrolls of Immolation + rN+++ + rF++ = win
thanks azure jellies for all those explosions !

[Antioch]

just got killed by some SERIOUSLY inconvenient timing of Oku's wrath. I was already very cautious because of penance and than the one moment I drop below 50% BAM, STONE GIANTS.

some observations:
Cleaving is a lot less useful than it seems, it is still always better to lure opponents into corridors. It is sometimes handy when you get swarmed or against slime creatures/ those shrieking abyss things.
abyss while under penance = bad idea. Abyss used to only block teleport control, but now it also blocks blinks themselves.
Zin: not my god

Well that was the tournament for me.

Good luck all!

[TripJack]

Cleaving is a lot less useful than it seems, it is still always better to lure opponents into corridors.

yeah of course it's safer to fight enemies one at a time whenever possible

but cleaving is good enough that it makes taking axes a no-brainer for any species with a decent aptitude
