Heh, "flog" can be slang for selling stuff too. Not sure if it's just British slang or not, but vogonpoet's very name is a reasonable indication that he might be from around here. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

vogonpoet - you do realize we've already violated our kitty karma? You could have just killed the cat :) You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

> Can you throw the crystals of darkness? Unfortunately they will not create darkness if thrown. > regardless, is the usual plan to just shoot missiles > past them into the darkness (assuming they just stand > still, which they should)? You should feel no obligation to get the water orb. If your uncomfortable doing that, just do anything else you like, and someone else can get it. Having said that, I think it is safe enough for you to do if you like. My usual plan is to create a patch of darkness in the tunnel you dig, to get to the temple. Lead the enemies one by one, into the darkness and dispatch them with melee attacks. You can stand outside the darkness and shoot missiles in if you want, but it's no safer to do it that way. The monsters will all stand still, and not attack you. The only problem comes if a monster panics. The Snake is the only monster in there that is prone to panic. If he panics in the dark, and has no escape path, he will then be able to hit you. For this reason, attacking him in the tunnel can be a little dangerous. I think Rhea is tough enough to handle him in the tunnel, but there is a safer way. Lead the Snake up the stairs, with your tactics set to coward, and create a second patch of darkness. If he panics now, he will have an escape path, so you won't be in danger of being hit. You can feel free to use the 2-hander to kill him there. If he panics, don't try to melee him in a corner, he will be able to hit then. Shoot a missile at him from a few paces away, and he will come after you again. Lead him back to the darkness and repeat until he's dead. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

> The closed door in the southwest corner is to a room > half full of Baby White Dragons I do hope that no one uses these for gold doubling. > Her toughness actually went down by 1 for some reason :( By reading your report, I think you actually went through the graveyard level, instead of digging in from the right hand side. If that is the case, it is likely that a vampire drained you a bit. In fact, if you went through the whole mess of undead, it's pretty lucky that Rhea lost only one point of toughness. No problem getting it back though, it's just two morgia root. > I somehow had less hp than when i started If the stats are all at the same level, and your exp. level increased, it's hard to say. Perhaps the moon cycle changed to dark/silvernight or something. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

ah, i see...although i swear the only time i got hurt was from lich spells. I'll get a screenie up asap, for those of you that want it. And about digging through the right side, I definitely didn't think of that, last time i was there i just cleared the whole place for the lewt and exp. Going for 2nd win |

We are now of sufficient intelligence to read our spellbooks, that is if you increase our literacy to 100, easily obtainable upon our next level increase. |

Wow, that's a lot of progress recently. Already bagged the water orb, cool. I notice that we have some potions that could be drunk, The potions of potential strength would be helpful, if we plan to train with Garth. Too bad we are all out of morgia : ( We got lucky with our first corruption, it could have easily been 'poison hands'. I see from the screenshot, that we have no thick gauntlets, that could have turned out BAD. Thin and nimble is probably the best corruption in the game. I also notice that Rhea lost two points of dexterity somewhere in the mix. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

Narcolepcy Registered user Last page view: 5017 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes and 23 seconds ago. |
Poga don't raise the max unless its at its max, and we have 2, so don't drink the potentials unless you are going to actually train the stat. We also got some other stat potions in the stash I made. I don't like carrying valuable stuff I won't be using. We got enough moss we can easily retrain those points, highly doubt Soirana will do so though as dex is at the magic 25, so you'd need sickness or starvation.

ido believe lost dx is due to taking off boots of sneakiness. i do not see any big problems in her nearest future.

got Rhea, because apparently its my turn again (good thing i checked, otw i wouldn't have realized it was my turn again so soon). Will play her tomorrow though, as I've got things going on right now, and don't really have the opportunity to sit down and play. Tomorrow morning or afternoon she should be done. Going for 2nd win |

We are doing very well, Almost too well! Remember that savescumming is not allowed! Im not accusing anyone, but it seems weird that we have managed to get this far. Usually I get this far with only like 1/30 characters so why should we manage to do it with shared gameplay... Remember that once you die, you cant do antyhing for it then. Just be honest! Anyways I hope no one is cheating here but thats it. Im glad to hear that we have passed the ToEF and Water Temple. I always do ToHK and ToEF together, just do we have climbing set for it? "The white baby dragon equips the small shield." WTF :D |

Very efficient use of turns Soirana. Climbed all the way to the surface, killed the ACW, avoided item destruction, and no extra corruptions! Sweet. Other jobs to do include collecting the RotHK and clearing Darkforge. I would think the RotHK would be the easier of the two, but with the penetrating weapons Rhea has, who knows. I notice the BDSM has degenerated by a couple of PV points, we should be able to find better in the casino anyway. EDIT: I just read the above posts. I personally have not save scummed, and I would lay 100 to 1 odds that Soirana has not either. Think about the fact that most of the players involved in this game are, well ,lets face it, pretty good. If you read through the HoF, you can see a number of names you know from this game. The tactics employed in each players turn are sound, and to a large extent, in character with their past games. If anything, the surprising success of Rhea, is due more to the amazing items we have stumbled upon, rather than amazing player skill. Indeed though, there is no substitute for skill.

Hey peace... Im talking in general and I know you guys are "professionals" in ADOM (Im just one random nubs here). But I know that possibility of getting this powerfull character just like that is pretty small - There is so much things where you can screw yourself. But take it easy. This character is made for fun, play your best and dont take any pressures. :) Well then I must admit that we have got really lucky and no one have scummed, and I will not talk about it then that way like you were. If you have savescummed, it's your personal shame. "The white baby dragon equips the small shield." WTF :D |

Certainly no scumming here, although neither of my turns were particularly daring. |

I don't think it's just luck that's gotten us this far, but also the fact that everyone is being ultra careful not to get a shared char killed. Overconfidence is not happening - we're all worried about dying. There's been a lot of preparation, and that really shows on the turn count. Also, we did a DarkForge raid, which means good weapons and armour - both help significantly (I actually would have preferred we try our luck without - challenge is far more fun). With regards to the BDSM getting damaged, we should have a second somewhere. I'm clueless as to where all the stashes are now though. Anyway, well done on the Tower, Soirana. Didn't think we'd have such ease with it, but learning frost bolt helps significantly (didn't think we could learn it either!) High Kings and DarkForge should indeed both be done before we plunge to the depths of the caverns. Rift is also an option. |

Tone doesn't always come through 100% accurately. Especially for those like me, who have the literacy skill of a cabbage. The above post was not intended to have an irritated tone, but a logical one. On which turn was save scumming most likely to occur? The first 2000 are by far the most dangerous, and I think it's very unlikely that WorstPlayer...ever save scummed. No knowledge of the first kill, indicates quite a bit of honesty to me : ) After that, Rhea had reasonable amounts of PV for all of her respective ventures. The only really dangerous things she has done: Pyramid, Griffyard, animated forest, water temple, and the ToEF has all been done by experiences players. It just doesn't seem likely, that Rhea has needed to be save scummed. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

Whatever happened to our mithril long sword of devastation (+0, 5d8+9)? Second-best weapon we have in my books - possibly the best considering the risks of the two-hander. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

I noticed that when I played...Didn't see it in the inventory. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough...I'm interested to see how the soon to come CoC dive is going to go. Going for 2nd win |

No savescumming, sirs. Just very skilled players and a whole lot of good fortune! You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction?

I'm going to play this soon, and likely spend the money on a crowning. Any objections to an N= crowning from anyone? We have no need for gravedigging, and lawful alignment is uneeded. Alignment shift in the late game isn't a big issue. Of course crowning won't give us much - a likely useless artifact, a no longer important immunity (I'll make sure it's not cold of course) and permanent blessing. Lower hunger rate will be nice though. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

> Descended towards Dwarftown. Was there still a stash of items on the level below the big room? I was going to collect that mess for sale also, but ran out of turns. > But immediately a dwarven child stepped in and > picked up the smith's hammer and anvil! Obviously > a budding apprentice, but he was in my bloody way. Reading that was hilarious. It's one of those things that's funny to invision. A life and death struggle between a vile greater deamon and a gray elven champion of balance. Glod, the noble dwarven weapon smith is cruely slain in the chaotic fray. A dwarven child happens along. Paying no attention to the violence and blood all around, takes a fancy to the unguarded anvil. "Always wanted one of those!" He manages to pick up the full sized anvil, (how?!) and promptly gets slain for it. Let that be a lesson for all dwarven children everywhere. > Stupid me forgot to get smithing. Not a big loss if you ask me. Sure, it would have been nice to beef up some stuff, but who wants to spend their turn putting a couple of points on some helmet? Rhea is tough enough to not need it anyway. > Sold huge amounts of junk (30 rocks anyone?) That was most likely me. On my way through the big room, I just started picking up whatever junk I came across. She had the carrying cappacity, and it all equals gold at Dwarftown. I didn't notice the rocks though : ) > Crowning gift: Trusted One Merchants have a 50% chance of getting a good one. I was hoping for a Crown or at least the Boots. I suppose that no one PC, can get the best stuff ALL the time. > As you can see we're quite lacking resistances > - importantly acid I had an ant corpse on my turn, I left it alone thinking we already had -acid. Humble suggestion, perhaps now would be a good time to bless those scrolls of melee accuracy/damage. Maybe applying the accuracy to the mithril long sword of devastation (+0, 5d8+9). The damage scrolls might best compliment the battle axe of penetration. Also, with smithing out of the picture, the scrolls of protection and defense should also be blessed and used. I would say on the girdle, as that would be the piece of higher metal equipment, that we are most likely to keep for the rest of the game. I meant passing the save file around of course ; ) Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |
