[Dr Feelgood]

Tegga currently has the longest streak in the tourney. Good job!

It is?
I haven't actually count everything through, but there just seems to be a lot more time/points efficiency for race/class combos and doing specific challenges.
I'll do one 15 rune game so I can check off the bonus for it and the TSO bonus.

For purposes of these points we say that a player wins with a god if she reaches full (******) piety with that god without worshipping any other god first.

Lame, so I can't even do TSO properly.

It's worth an extra 400 points on top of all the bonuses you get for winning. That said, considering how well Tegga is doing by just streaking I might skip it.

Ugh. I don't know about all that. I got really tired of playing hill orc priests because of how much crap is always going on, spamming the spacebar to get rid of --more-- (still haven't been told how to get rid of that prompt), worrying about orcs dying, holding onto every branded weapon I see to gift it, etc. Having a squad of warlords is great though, it's true. But my priests ALWAYS die, I guess gift them big armor or a big shield? Or is it basically just warlords by the time you get to the depths anyway?

Your priests and sorcerers won't wear armor, so don't bother.

First win!

http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/morgue/Train/morgue-Train-20140904-153659.txt

Some hair-raising moments on the orb run, like when a pan lord appeared and tormented me 3 times in a row.

Think I'll try something with a few more HP next time.

wooo!

[Xgamer4]

Congrats!!

I believe I speak for everyone here (as most of you are on-record with agreeing with me):

Fuck. The. Abyss.

Wandering around Swamp: 4 in attempts to get that rune. Mara and Louise are both hanging around Swamp 4 and I, forgetting Louise likes to send people to the Abyss, try to kill her. Then I get banished.

Running around Abyss: 1 I discover that I'm actually more powerful than I realized (everything was dying to me with minimal problems), and an exit wasn't appearing, so I figure I'd try to make this vaguely worthwhile, and start diving for the rune.

Hit Abyss: 4, still doing fairly fine, and get teleported right smack into the middle of a rune vault. I get mobbed with nowhere to run and little time to wait for a tp out (even with a scroll). I hold out for a few turns, hoping to grab the rune I see before dying (...there were three on screen. The one I was going for was a mimic, just to add insult to injury). Then I die.

Arrgh!

[tompliss]

Hit Abyss: 4

That's your error. Abyss:3 is enough to make the rune spawn, and doesn't have the biggest threats of Abyss:4.

[Tegga21]

I hate the abyss. I hate everything that sends me to the abyss. I put on MR whenever I see anything that can send me to the abyss. Screw the Abyss.

Here is my personal list I use 'abyss monsters avoid'

Louise
Elrocha
Ogre mages (common and notorious)
Wizard
Deep elf magi, sorcerer, demonologist
Lich, Ancient lich

The following (and many more) can banish you in melee (I zerk, confuse, haste, paralyze, etc.) I over buff to kill them fast
Psyche(hate her)
Crazy Yulf
Sonja(more hate)
Enchantress
Donald
Maud
Frederick
Asterion

Gah. Well, noted.

Spoiler: Rant Enclosed (click to show/hide)

But seriously, this is ridiculous. When I run face-first into the pile of Emperor Scorpions in the Spiders Nest and die, that's my fault. When I accidentally polymorph a unique into something that eats my face, that's my fault. Charge heedlessly into a (supposedly) empty room, misjudge, and get mauled? My fault. Not have SInv and wander somewhere where something might be invisible and die? My fault.

Fail to prepare for a random chance that a unique might send me to a new branch, and consequently get sent? Well, actually, I'm comfortable calling that my fault.

Reach the new branch and get mauled/can't find exit because the exit is randomly, and rarely, generated on an effectively infinite map with end-game level enemies? That's not fair, and not my fault.

Find out I don't get mauled and decide to make the best of it by heading for the objective? Crawl actually encourages taking advantage of situations like this. I was playing the game right!

This was followed by getting lost multiple times, getting a ridiculous pile of bad mutations, then immediately teleported (with little warning and no way to prevent it) into one of the most hostile locations on the map, with low health, a pile of bad mutations, and with my escape options effectively disabled due to a map feature. So I die.

Could I have prevented it? Yeah, possibly. By knowing that the Abyss is the one branch that doesn't require reaching the bottom to get the rune, or by resigning myself to endlessly auto-exploring Abyss: 1 for the exit and not taking advantage of the opportunity I was presented with.

So yeah, I could've prevented it. But it'd require going against the lessons the game goes out of its way to teach you. That's just bad design.

Playing a deep dwarf, any tips?

Spoiler: Victory (click to show/hide)

Well I decided to win it before I go to sleep. 15 runes will have to wait until I clear TSO.
I'm either starting one of the Nemelex Choice characters tomorrow or a Mummy Chaos Knight.
Could also try finally ascending a caster.

Bottom of the page gives you your options. The whole site is outdated as Hell, but at least that bit should be accurate.

...What a useless ring.

the ring "Atie" {-Cast Int+4 Stlth-}

[monk12]

At least it makes you smart enough to know to take it off again

[Xgamer4]

The sad thing is before I saw the entire thing, I saw -Cast and was thinking "well, that's normally bad, but as a Berserker... that's not really any change". Then I saw the rest, and just had to sigh.

In unrelated news, I'm pretty sure Trog went "Well, I know you're specializing in Maces and Flails, and I know I've been super helpful with my Dire Flails drops, but here, have this! ^_^"

Where "this" is this:
the +11 quick blade of Mastery {elec, Int-2}

Stabbers would kill for that weapon. Meanwhile, I'm sitting on Lair:8 with 17 ranks in Maces and Flails, no ranks in Short Blades, and no ranks in Shields trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with it...

EDIT:

And with my MiBe run hitting champion of Trog, I've earned the Pious II banner! No points for it, unfortunately, but it's something.

EDIT EDIT:

...And he died shortly after. Ah well, he had no useful armor and no capable resistances. Hitting any further branches would've been a death sentence, and the only major reason I started the character was to finish up the Pious II banner anyway.

[Mindmaker]

And since everybody was sharing Abyss stories:
My winning character got abyssed while doing the Orb run. Luckily enough, monster spawn stay unaffected there.
