I fear that dicking around to that extend will make the apparation force the issue.

Good.

Agreed

[WillowLuman]

So, if I'm understanding correctly, you don't want to go in unless forced?

No, we just want to delay it while we goof around, before finally going in.

I dunno. If it forces the issue, we don't get to do other stuff before going in. I mean, we can mine the walls elsewhere too, and it's not like we have a throwing skill that's worth an Urist. I'd rather get it to take action by trying the box thing than by mining untill it loses its patience.

Step 1: Argue with it
Step 2: Box/fight it
Step 2.5: Mine some rocks, test hell-pit
Step 3: Slip/surf/cannonball/be dragged into hell

Maybe little 1-picture updates to argue with it?

[Talvieno]

So, if I'm reading the poll right, the consensus it to argue with the apparition for a bit before jumping in willingly?

I'm down with that. Also, see if the chandelier can be used as a shield. The icon seems to suggest that it's shield-shaped, and talk about a badass shield. (I get the feeling we probably won't be able to, but if we could - booyah. It's half DF, right? In DF you can wield giant desert scorpions as clubs if you want, so, you know... DF logic.)

We can wield stuff we don't meet the requirements for?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Yeah I'd side with DS on that front. We'd be able to 'wield' it, but if we tried doing anything we'd fail miserably.

Oooh, missed that spoiler in the last update. Lol

What spoiler?

[Talvieno]

Spoiler: Dwarven Chandelier (click to show/hide)

A tremendously heavy steel chandelier. Could severely crush in the right circumstances A very strange thing to wield, and one would need extraordinary strength to do so. Its open center would make it a poor shield against smaller opponents. One wonders what technique would even be used to wield it.

Bash damage:
80+9

Damage resistance:
95% physical
100% fire

Scaling:
-Strength:C
-Dexterity: D

Requires 30 STR, 10 DEX

Condition: 293/300

That spoiler.

Our dexterity is suckishly low, so I don't think we'll be any good at bows or sorcery. I don't think throwing rocks would be a bad idea, though, so maybe slip a few into our Box of Holding. Irritate the ghost a bit, watch the world burn, play with fire... Y'know, the usual for Dwarf Fortress.

And throwing rocks would probably raise our throwing skill. So chuck a few rocks at the ghost as an "experiment". We're not cursed, so they'll just harmlessly pass through, right?

Someone's been reading up on DS

So, I'd like to update this before I go on vacation next week. Is this right?:
-Argue with apparition.
-Throw rocks and/or the box at it
-Throw something in the crack to test
-Jump in

Yass.

[Shadestyle]

yup

Yes I have. Would suggest filling up our Estus flask-equivalent before we jump in, too. Provided that boss won't respawn.

Edit: Although, we did just level away from a bonfire, so scratch that last. But yes, I read up on it since you PM'd me.
