Don't worry, Elvenkings are the strongest of the elves, and are frequently spawned with pickaxes, and maybe mattocks. I can't remember.

Just remember the they're the best class in the game.

Starts with a touchstone, how insane.

See you dual-wielding bullwhips, want to know your name...

I took a bunch of pictures of my final stats, given that I don't have a dumplog, so I'll show you my final stats.

If you use alt-printscreen, it only takes a picture of the current window.

Both my games are over... :(

My valkyrie got a few more levels up, then killed in combat while I was struggling with all the liches (they fled and followed, there are many on same level).

My wizard on PocketPC unwittingly fire a force bolt at a floating eye, which was lined up with Izchak's door. I tried to pay for the damage, but my low Cha + 600 gold wasn't enough. I felt ashamed of angering Izchak, so I waited until he depleted his wand of striking, then stood still while he struck me down.

Back to square one...

I'm so sorry to hear that Kc. You never told us what you used your wand of wishing on btw.

But still, I know the guy died of cancer, but I'm sure Izchak would've wanted you to live, not sit back and let his game character beat you to death.

I failed to get it out of my cursed BoH (1 in 13 chance and I still failed). I was out of blessed water... the last backup in my oilskin sack was used to uncurse my unihorn. I kept getting stunned, and used a cursed unihorn (forgot to check its BUC status). So I had to uncurse it, or I'll die of sickness. :-\


In other news...



Isn't it sad when you own a shop, but the shop is only 10'x10' and without any windows? Isn't it depressing when the only item you're selling is a tin opener? Don't you want to kill yourself when someone comes in with a cat, steals your tin opener and sell it back to you again and again?

Doing business in the Dungeons of Doom is hard.  :P

Hmm...

I'm not sure what I'm doing. I'm standing in front of the castle with naught but 3 AC and my starting club as a caveman... How did I manage to reach this place?

What the hell am I doing? Ah, who cares, let's do this...

That's a question I have too. For a wizard that would be quite normal... but a caveman?  ???

I'd be able to do that only by abusing wands of digging... and that would be a one-way trip.

How do you get 3 ac with a wizard? I need to figure this out, cause my recent archie runs have been having some major difficultys regarding armour.

EDIT: also I just found that black puddings give heat resistance, awsome!

I was just playing along in a half asleep state. No strategy other than go down. Anyway, I died to a lich, oh well.

Just get leather items on all slots.

leather armor - AC 2  or studded leather armor - AC 3
cloak of magic resistance - AC 1
elven leather helm - AC 1
leather gloves (any type) - AC 1
leather boots (any type) - AC 1

That's 6 or 7 points of AC, without counting +1 or +2 items that you can find.
