Kog Haltpast the Deep Dwarf Monk
Jill the Naga Wizard (Worshiping Nemelex)
We again return to our Let's Play of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. We'll take out D3 and D4, time and survival permitting.
Our first peek of D3. A nice and clear corridor leading to a staircase, this will make a good retreat point.
In the process of exploring, I reach "Near Starving". I need to find a corpse fast lest I waste my rations.
Really, Crawl? Could I have expected any less of you?
I take them out by drinking a potion of speed and might. Use consumables liberally, saving them will likely lead to your death.
Apparently, according to Xom, food poisoning is funny.
While trying to rest off the sickness, Xom barrages me with rocks, but at least it's not demons again. I'll just quaff a potion of healing, I don't want Xom to start getting antsy on me again.
I think I just walked into poison hell. No point in running, snakes are faster then me and even with the potion of speed they'll still catch up to me until I get somewhere.
Level 5, this is promising. It doesn't come with any mutations or stat boosts, though.
Naturally, the only corpse that's dropped is poisonous. Thanks, Crawl. I do take the blowgun and needles, though, it will be handy.
And our first wand! Good, this might be useful.
Notice that I said "might be".
...Crawl really is out to kill me. Say hello to Grinder, folks, he's the worst early-game unique nowadays, worse then the infamous Sigmund. He paralyses you and then beats you to death while Paining you, and blinks away if he's in trouble. Oh, and he's immune to poison (and thus Mephitic Cloud). Nasty, nasty, nasty. I could try running, but he would probably get me with paralysis anyways. Let's just try to kill him for the hell of it.
I put a nice speed difference between us with a wand of slowing and a potion of speed, and now might actually be a good time to run. Still, a Xom follower wouldn't do that, would they?
I know, I'm an idiot, please proceed to berate me. If I was playing as any other character, I probably would have done exactly that, but hey,
Xom.
These are our fabulous treasures...
And this is our rank among our two characters. Slightly worse then Argem Bargem, not particularly surprised.
