Update 9!Jill the Naga Wizard (Worshiping Nemelex)___ the Troll Berserker
___ the Octopode Transmuter
___ the Orc Priest
___ the Draconian Crusader
So yeah, ignore what I said earlier, I'm doing another update today. Down this path lies madness, I know. But I'm bored as hell, so why not?
This is Jill, the Naga Wizard hoping to worship Nemelex. Despite what you may think, NaWz of Nemelex is not as gimped of a combination as it may seem. Nagas and Wizards go well together, since their bonuses and maluses do well to counteract each other. Nemelex happens to be a very good god if used properly (admittedly I've never used Nemelex properly), so it SHOULD be a good combination. Keyword: should.
Our wizard spells. We begin with Magic Dart memorized. Despite first appearances, this spellbook is VERY powerful, if lacking in direct damage.
With some victory dancing, Conjurations skill increases. This is handy, as we always need more blasting power as wizards.
This is our first enemy, a giant cockroach.
It takes exactly five Magic Darts, one Poison Spit, and one punch to take it out. This could be a rough ride...
A goblin goes down easier. Also, the dagger will be nice.
I find a leather armor and pick it up, not to wear it but to dump it onto a pile on the downward staircase with all the other junk on this level. Then, when I find an altar of Nemelex, I'll join him and then start going to all of my piles to offer my stuff for a big chunk of starting piety. Clever, eh?
Level 2! This is a good time to memorize some spells. Namely, Repel Missiles and Blink. Repel Missiles will help against projectile users from kobolds and their beloved enchanted darts to yaktaurs and their not-so-beloved bolts. Blink is just an awesome escape spell, you'll see it in action later.
Then while exploring I find a small goblin horde ready to kill me. This could be very bad...
I managed to blink away once but then I ran out of mana and they surrounded me. Curse you, Crawl.
Our "treasures", AKA things we saved so we could offer it to Nemelex.
Our ranking. Notice that it steadily decreases for each new character I make. This could be because I'm making more and more bad judgements, or because you guys are driving me insane. Personally, I prefer to believe the second

But never fear! Our new character, the Troll Berserker is here! And who knows, we might actually survive long enough to see the interesting parts of the game! Not in the mood to put that in this update, though. Apparently I'm still out of juice.
