Yeah I think there are fewer monsters in the stable release, especially if you stay on abyss 1.  And if you're a melee character you don't need to worry about running out of MP (and if you have an axe you can still do pretty good crowd control).

This last guy was a HOBe, and did indeed have an axe. I wandered around 1st level for a fair bit, not finding anything apart from occasional monsters, then bam, surrounded by fucking star cursed masses and nexoceqs and I dont know what. Continuous Trog's Hand spam and brothers, but very soon I am brainless, soon after that HP less, and there was just monsters everywhere. Thats the bit I don't get, people saying 1st level is relatively quiet.

Anway, there is no fear I will ever get a 15 rune victory, cos I am never going to the new Abyss voluntarily, no matter how powerful I am. Cos as I said, fuck it.

Meanwhile, congrats Aelic and Tegga

Congratulations Tegga and Aelig! B12 crawling up

use a scroll or wand of teleport, chance of you going to a new area (no monsters) or a wand of digging

That seems silly.  I can understand being scared of low-level banishment, but a level 27 character with mutation resistance and a source of restore/ sustain abilities really has nothing to fear from the abyss.

[vogonpoet]

We shall see. Then next time I have a level 27 character satisfying those criteria outside of tournament play, maybe I will give it a shot, maybe.

As it is, this tourney is going badly for me, mainly due to the fact that I am actually horrendously busy in RL, and keep trying to squeeze 5-10 minute distracted turbo crawl breaks into my life somehow. I find my ability to thus throw properly established characters away rather vexing. Still, I might manage to find time for one more decent dude near the end of next week, just before the end of the tourney. Maybe in the meantime I can try for the 1st Speed demon banner, which I never got so far.

[Moron]

So how good are the new evokable items? (fan of gales etc.) I have tried using the stone of tremors but I think it makes a bit too much noise and attracts too many monsters for a somewhat stealthy glass cannon like my current character.

[Graven]

Well, Spectrina over at Crawl s-z routinely took on Pan lords with the new evokables a few weeks ago, so I'd say they're pretty great.

Phials of Flood, especially, since they knock enemies away and the elementals themselves engulf enemies, I believe [prevents spellcasting and reading scrolls].

[Delta Foxtrot]

Turned a corner with my lvl15 CeDK, got hit by Sonja. First time I've seen the Abyss outside of starting AKs. Burned through my teleports and eventually got cornered on Abyss1.

Maybe I'll roll a caster for a change of pace next.

[Xgamer4]

Nobles have overtaken the Miners. And we're even a member down. Gooooo Nobles!

I'm going to pretend that my wonderful leadership had a part in it

[monk12]

Decided to roll with Beogh again (HOAr this time,) and the first wave of minions Beogh sends me includes an Orc Wizard with a glowing dagger. Cool, right? Cut to a few fights later, when the orc stabs a stone golem and it randomly blinks behind me, smacking a grunt orc in the face. Turns out that's a distortion dagger... hopefully he's smart enough to never drop it (or hopefully the distortion unwielding effects don't happen to NPCs)

Need some advice on my current run. Few questions :
EV characters are completely inferior to AC or i'm doing something wrong ? ( Getting Dragon King armour on Lair:1 didn't help that view) Is it viable to try to get Necromutation going here what with -2 aptitude ? And is going for the Spider Nest without poison resistance other than ice form is sensible ?

Can't really answer for the EV stuff even though I think you are right, but don't go snake pit without rPois.

Got through Spider and Swamp only to get wasted by random vault warden. Somehow did 60 damage to me in one swing while i was in berserked statue form. And i have the feeling pure unarmed would fare better without Transmutations. It's fun trashing dragons in dragon form though.

[Moron]

So... new Crypt. I've heard some scary things about how hard it is; I have 2 runes but still have quite a lot of the dungeon left to explore. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do Crypt with Dispel Undead, or should I leave it til last (or just skip it completely?)

[TripJack]

the biggest new threats are flayed ghosts and the now-mobile curse skulls

the flayed ghost's attack isn't quite as bad as torment and the damage is instantly healed when the ghost dies, but this can easily ruin your day if other undead are blocking you from getting the ghost...

curse skulls have been transformed from easily avoided annoyances into terrifying death machines, getting tormented and raped by flayed ghosts (which curse skulls can summon) and getting your face ripped off by 10 other summoned monstrosities all at the same time is great fun
