Welcome back to our Let's Play of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup! In this episode, I'll actually get to the Lair, and maybe do a level of it.
We enter D11 and find a steam dragon along with some jackals and orcs. Lovely.
And two centaurs.
Make that four. I'm guessing there's a centaur warrior leading them.
So I run away. Even TrBe's know when to run away, shocking as the idea may be.
SOOO much better.
Even now it's still better.
Case in point. Also that helmet down there is yet another item I can't wear.
This is Erolcha. Unlike the other uniques we've fought, she's actually a threat. She can cast Lehudib's Crystal Spear, the most powerful single-target conjuration in the game. Or Banishment, which sends us to the Abyss, which is a death sentence at this point. Or just plain Paralyze and beat you down as she does so. Yeah.
I turn on Trog's Hand and I try to paralyze her with my wand, but it does little good. Also she turns invisible, which means that she can't cast either LCS or Banishment. And of course we still have our handy ring.
Flawless victory.
Then I find some orcs, a giant toad, and a deck of cards. Giant toads are like giant frogs, only bigger and just as vanilla. The deck of cards is an evokable item that I'm not going to mess with, it can devastate my character.
More carnage. Also, poison is really handy, if you don't already know.
I knew I'd have to fight one of these. This is a centaur warrior, and this guy is nasty, look at how much HP he took from me with one shot.
...I try zapping my wand of polymorph other at him to make him something that can't actually use bows, and he takes TWO shots at me in the same period, bringing my HP to that level. I really have no clue what to do here. Healing potion won't be enough if he can shoot that quickly. Teleport is too slow. I have no blinking scrolls and he'll just catch up to me with speed. If I actually use a potion of speed, he can still shoot. Scroll of fog, maybe?
And then what? I don't want to come out of the smoke, and teleport is bad when I don't even know what else is on the level, so... Brother in Arms? I also change rings, because now I realize the artifact gives me rF- and the centaur shoots flaming arrows.
I hate centaur warriors. Also, I know that someone is going to pop up and say "if you did X, you would have survived". And if you have such knowledge, by all means tell me.
At this point we actually do have some fabulous treasure. There's actually more stuff, but I pressed Enter accidentally before I could take a picture of it, sorry.
And our score. Look at how much better it is then the others. I will get my revenge on centaur warriors one day, I will promise that much.
