Was having your ghost kill other people worth any points?

I finally decided to switch to Easy Mode and started a spriggan enchanter. I'm level 12 now, and in lair. I've found the stairs to Swamp and Snake Pit, so getting some poison resistance is something of a priority now. I got hooves and rugged brown scales.

I kind of feel I'm wasting my Nemelex abilities and the dozen wands I found since the hibernate-stab combo kills everything.

Also, I just stacked a legendary deck of wonders with two Experience cards! Score!

Argh...what is it with RNG not giving me any items at all....I was doing very well as a SEFE but couldn't do any of the branches in lair coz I just didn't have any resistances...had to dive too deep in search for poison resistance , although the death was totally avoidable....could have easily killed Snorg if I hadn't remained in melee distance...I even had a blink scroll

[Antioch]

Hmmmm I really need to practice a bit again, I died a couple of times to stupid deaths again, I kinda lost my feeling of what monster you need to fight at what level.

[Soadreqm]

I found the Slime branch, with the altar of Jiyva outside. I'm kind of contemplating abandoning Nemelex and getting the slime rune. And then stabbing the Royal Jelly, abandoning Jiyva and committing Deicide. Eh, I think I'll stick with the card god, at least for now.

Lost my Spriggan Enchanter, Had some really nice luck going until i picked up berserker mutation and lost half my good mutations trying to cure it.  Got two runes, and had a shit ton of defense, sadly i got berserked while fighting borris and some combining slimes

This is annoying...  It seems that if I play from my windows mobile phone, I can only start a new character. Loading a character just ends the session.

I doubt it will keep but because of my overzealous combo playing Miners are in 5th place over all and I am in 7th. Soon as the good players get down to trying for the combo scores I will probably lose out in the end but till then I am riding the wave.

Was playing an Ogre Berzerker and got a horrible mutation for this specie and class :

You digest meat very inefficiently.

Basically once i got this mutations, everytime i pressed O to autoexplore i had .... "Hungry"
Eaten something, pressed O and ... "Hungry".
Basically that was making the Ogre life expectancy very very low considering how quickly an Ogre needs food, and that unlike a Troll, you can't eat food when you want to get engorged and have a small freedom regarding hunger.

Fortunately, the Ogre met Maurice that went invisible and utterly destroyed the full healthed and berserked Ogre with a hand of draining that left him no chances and prevented the hunger to become even more annoying.

I've found some new books, and got some more spell skills. I'm looking at Haste and Invisibility. The casting success rate is "good", and they look like they'd be worth burning food on. How much does Haste actually do for a spriggan? They're already too fast for switftness to do anything, does haste have reduced effects as well?

The main issue right now is that I'm getting slightly bored with this character, and that can very quickly be fatal. Happens to me in a lot of games, especially if there are a lot of starting options. Oh, well. I guess I can go play a second game on CAO and leave the CDO save file waiting for a while.

[Robsoie]

I am impressed that after just one day of tournament there are already several wins with every runes captured !

Those things that are so far from my reach considering how quickly my character seem to be dying since the tournament started

I wish the real tile interface was usable for online play, playing so much with the console version (that is used by Net Tiles too) makes me understanding how brillant the real interface of the tile version can be.

Def get Invisibility. Haste is gimped, but only because it halves your movement speed and your movement speed is already pretty low. So it does benefit you, just not as much as it benefits other races. You already move pretty damn fast. I would get Invis first and to help stab then get Haste to help in case stabbing isn't so successful.

Managed to get my best Troll run so far in this tournament, died in the Orcs Mines unfortunately, but this time it was not an easily avoidable death, the monster was way superior to my character there, but again stupid mistake as i had an easy way to escape that death, but didn't remembered.
Orc Knight, remember those guys.

Troll Berserker descended in Orcs:3 after cleaning fully Orcs:1 and Orcs:2 without any real problem.
Next to Orcs:3 stairs there is an Orc Knight, and near the middle of the screen there is a second Orc Knight.
So back to Orcs:2 as soon as possible so only 1 Orc Knight would follow.

Once in Orcs:2 i noticed 1/4 of my health was already missing, the bastard hit me during the stair climbing, trying to use the lesser orcs that came along, i am trying to move around so i have a bit of distance between the Orc Knight and me.
Unfortunately Orc Knight is extremely strong and accurate, my health bar is now only 1/4 full in just 2 or 3 turns.
Try to summon an ally, ho ho, failed, how convenient from the random generation, he ?
Orc Knight hit once again, Troll nearly dead.

And forgetting one of the power of my artifact weapon

o - the +5,+3 hand axe of Sudden Death (weapon) {flame, +Blink +Inv MR}
   (You found it on level 4 of the Dungeon)   
   It emits flame when wielded, causing extra injury to most foes and up to
   double damage against particularly susceptible opponents. Big, fiery blades
   are also staple armaments of hydra-hunters.
   It increases your resistance to enchantments.
   It lets you turn invisible.
   It lets you blink.

Troll dead of that really stupid mistake, i hate when it happen, has done that "damn i could have used this to survive without a problem" mistake the whole day with nearly every of my characters, i blame old age lol.

note , in Orc :2 i encountered that ghost

The ghost of christhawk the Thrower, an experienced HOHu of Trog (Orc:2)

Fortunately berzerked troll managed to win the battle.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Cool, I hit 100 combos! I also have the fruit basket finally. I had all of the fruit quick enough except the banana which took forever to get. Oh and I am in 5th place over all which I find amazing seeing as I have never even seen a rune ever let alone get close to endgame.

...
and someone took one of my combos so its back down to 99, well that is life and completely what I expect to happen to most of my scores.

Now that's evil from the Dungeon Crawl specific anti-Robsoie code, my Vampire Necromancer had the upper hand in a close combat battle with Blork the Orc, despite attempts at using a wand on me.
Vampiric Draining was the weapon of choice there, and some nice hits from my dagger from time to time.

Blork the Orc was going to fall and add itself in my unique kills list as he was not there yet, i was happy.

But Blork took a potion, drank it... fully healed !
Just when i had not enough anymore for another Vampiric Draining, as i was not thirsty i couldn't use the Bat Form to run away and get another try later after recovering my magic points.
So as it was silly to try to kill him with my dagger now he was back into full health, i read a teleportation scroll and

As you read the scroll, it crumbles to dust.
You feel strangely unstable. Blork the orc misses you.
Blork the orc glows brightly for a moment.
Blork the orc casts a spell at you.
The puff of frost hits you!
You die...

Damn.
