In the mountains after lvl 17, or by digging stone walls you may wake a sleeping stone giant "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

I remember one of my precrowning attempts. I decided to dig a corridor into one of the rooms to make running around easier... Stumbled into a stone giant. I couldn't kill it, forgot that I can lure it away, and decided to sac it (despite my neutral alignment). I suddenly noticed that the bastard is smart enough to avoid stepping on the altar, so it ran in circles around it after me. I've finally grown weary of these vain attempts and decided to flee and try to think something out. I can't remember why, but I decided to dig one more tunnel - this time much shorter - mayhap even one wall section, and - what do you know? - another one! Now I had two stone giants in the level, neutral altar, and a wierd system of rooms I've managed to link by that time. The altar itself was adjacted to the wall, but i dug corridor downwards to make things easier. .._.. ##.## Now, all I had to do was to sac giants. Two this time. If I'm not mistaken, I made the following trick: .+_+. ##.## And ran by the corridor I dug from south to north, and tricked giants to step on the altar without smashing doors ang stepping on the floor. I might be wrong, however. It was about half a year ago. I just remember that i firs unearthed two giants, and then dispatched them somehow, yet not in meele, with ranged, wands, PoEX or missiles. :) Ubi patria ibi bene! |

Well that sounds like fun, Nchurmdaz. <g> So how do I dig? I suppose find a pick axe and "u"se it? They sound tough, should I wait till level 16? It's for the first Thrundarr quest so I'd like to do it asap. Also, how dangerous is climbing? Do they pop up as wilderness encounters you're saying? I died using a cursed set before, so I'm trying to avoid climbing this time around. Specially with no climbing skill. |

There should be no reason to worry about climbing if you have an uncursed climbing set, even less if you bless it. Having some climbing skill is to be recommended, though, as there is no such thing as a guarantee in ADOM... http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

I've only had problems with cursed climbing set, then I fell and broke some stuff. (Some black wizard cursed it) Climbing skill has never been an issue for wilderness climbing. In fact I often travel through hills to train climbing for the rift. Stone giants aren't that tough at all, any weapon with some skill not totally-wimpy strength should be enough. Or missile weapons with skills. |
