Ohey, question: Does anyone know if Boris revives on the same level he dies on? I somehow managed to kill the bugger (Well, "somehow" being he walked toward me three times instead of doing anything, while I wrecked him with dispel undead...) and I wanna' know if it's worth meandering around that level for a bit in order to pick up that moose an'squirrel banner.

Nope, he'll turn up somewhere in the unforeseeable future. I first laid him to rest at Vault:3, then again at Crypt: 3.

Thanks for informing de5me7 in detail, Robsoie. Welcome to the Haulers, de5me7!

[Dr.Feelgood]

I lost my nice win rate, because I died 3 times in a row.  Oh well, I might as well try to get a streak.

Current progress

[Robsoie]

How much luck i can have sometime is just astounding.

  6614 | D:8     | Noticed Erolcha
  6616 | D:8     | You are cast into the Abyss!
  6616 | D:8     | Cast into the Abyss (Erolcha)
  6616 | Abyss   | Entered The Abyss
  6706 | Abyss   | Noticed a tormentor
  6706 | Abyss   | HP: 3/81 [large abomination (3)]
  6707 | Abyss   | Defeated a tormentor
  6817 | Abyss   | Got a twisted robe
  6824 | Abyss   | Identified the +1 robe of Nobility (You found it in the Abyss)
  6849 | D:8     | You pass through the gate.
  6885 | D:8     | You are cast into the Abyss!
  6885 | D:8     | Cast into the Abyss (Erolcha)
  6931 | Abyss   | Noticed a naga warrior
  7201 | Abyss   | HP: 3/121 [sixfirhy (17)]
  7201 | Abyss   | Mangled by a sixfirhy

Surviving once to the Abyss with a level 9 character was nearly a miracle, but being sent there a second time was a sure way to have my character killed.
Damn Erolcha, maybe she didn't liked how i killed her several games ago.

The only way my level 9 troll survived Abyss that long was a mix of teleportation (to reload the maze), berzerk+trogg hand, wound healing potions and brother in arms.

Of course brother in arms became too quickly unavailable considering how much faith it costs and so it was just a question of time my troll would be destroyed there.
Too bad, the "sixfirhy" was very near to die, but the large abomination that was hunting me before i ran into the "sixfirhy" would have not let me live much more even if my troll survived.

So after a hectic day of rune hunting, i finally have three runes. Had a heart stopping adventure down into Zot: 5 before good senses and some luck finally prevailed and i beat a hasty retreat out of there. Zot:5 is TOUGH!!!

So, gonna level up a bit elsewhere (I actually haven't touched orc mines, crypt, elven halls etc: ) before trying my luck again. Particularly, I think i need to train up dispel undead a bit

EDIT 1: Decided to get the serpentine rune for the Luls.....Anybody who might have seen me getting that rune would probably come and hit me hard on the head to make me not be waste this character to stupidity.....I basically teleported in the rune chamber, was surrounded with a room full of Guardian Nagas, Mages, Serpents whatever....basically, all red Ns. Then I spent one turn teleporting myself, one turn apporting the rune, one turn picking it up, and god knows how many more turns quaffing heal pots, all the while, atleast 9-10 of those red Ns were trying to blast me with various things. Oh, I am also a spriggan by the way, which means, I have a grand total of 112 hitpoints

I also reached stabbing level 27, which if I am not wrong, carries an additional couple of points. So, all in all, a pretty productive day, although the first win still eludes me..

[Frumple]

Congrats on getting that far, though. I'm trudging my way through the vaults right now, debating as to if it or abyss is the easier rune to nab. I'm thinking it's probably the abyss, heh, but it's been too long (Pre-SS) since I've been there.

In the mean time, I seek advice! I've hit level 25, and these

are my spells. My thought is that I dump repel missiles and selective amnesia, get deflect missiles, and be done with it, my end-game spell list complete. Is there anything worth 6 spell levels (plus whatever'd be worth replacing, if something could stand an upgrade) that'd trump D.Missiles? Am I missing something terribly important or keeping something fairly worthless?

[Robsoie]

Congratulations on the 3 runes and good luck for Zot.

A spell i often read that is being very usefull for the end game is Apportation.

[Robsoie]

Be carefull gentlemen, the centaurs are very angry tonight as you can see from the 3 latest Bay12 Miners death :

[Frumple]

Heh. If I had a skill level for every time a yaktaur's dropped me under half health in the last day or two, I'd have hit 27 in probably three different skills. Bloody things hit like a beast... and they've got too much HD to consistently confuse via mephi-cloud, unlike their horse compatriots. I kill 'em with two-three mystic blasts, and they still manage to shave 50-60 hp off my poor wizard. Thing's only got 110 to spare!

This portal leads to a forbidden dungeon of the mad chevalier.

Should I enter? Level 8 Hill Orc Priest of Beogh.

This portal leads to a forbidden dungeon of the mad chevalier.

It is a random bailey filled with polearm-wielding monsters and treasure. Expect most of the polearms to have Reaching brand. It is only open for a limited time. With careful play they are usually not too dangerous.

I'm baacckkk.
Wee!

[Robsoie]

I am wondering, has hunger been increased in this 0.7.x version ?

I was playing a simple Human Fighter, and cleaned D:1 and D:2.
As i found nothing or real value, the character had no different equipment or jewelry from the start that could have increased hunger without me knowing it without an identify.
But during that 2 floor cleaning, the character has been Hungry 5 times !

A Troll or an Ogre i could understand, but a Human that sounds ridiculous. It was good that i had enough corpses to butcher so it was not a problem, but only cleaning 2 levels and hunger strikes the character that much ?

[Frumple]

Food spoiler.

Don't really have enough info to tell if something odd was going on. It's pretty easy to hit hungry repeatedly if you're not eating until very hungry or less (And you shouldn't be eating permafood until you're near or full out starving). Fighting increases hunger too, so if you were missing a lot, that might have something to do with it. Can't be sure there, though.

My wizard hits hungry (Well, below engorged, thanks to a gourmand amulet) pretty regularly though, and he's not using hungering spells most of the time. So it might be normal.

It doesn't seem to be any worse than the last version I played, but the last version I remember playing much was, as mentioned a time or two, pre-SS, so maybe something's changed. I certainly didn't play 0.5 or 0.6 enough to know for sure. There's changelogs on the develz site, I think, somewhere or another.

[Berserker]

School is now taking most of my time, but I'll try to play atleast one hour per day.

[Robsoie]

Thanks for that link, and no wonder my character was hungry that much, i didn't knew that fighting was costing hunger too !
So not only each turns and spells cost hunger, but fighting increase it too.

Oh well, i guess back to either undead or non limited eater races that do not annoy me with repetitive hunger each 5 minutes then.
