I had this really promising character. Planned to do an ULE. Khelly saved, library done, got 4 wishes already, nice equipment, medal of chaos achieved and all this with a level 20 character. Then I'm planning what to do next. Tried toef but almost got killed there. Had no dragon slaying ammo. Went on to the water cave to try my character against the dragon. casted darkness in a corridor and went on to pick up an item from the loot - The loot had a RoDS and nice weapons. Then he got there and breath me for 400 damage in a single round! Maybe I should have casted darkness next to me also. =)

The best way to learn in adom is to get killed, isn't it. I think now I'll have at least a week's break from adom.

Heavily snipped flg will follow:

The lesson, I hope, is learnt. No matter how spectacularly badass your character is: The water dragon will kill you! KILL YOU!

(I speak from experience. Check "Potrina" in the YASD section.)

As long as you don't *completely* enshroud yourself in Darkness, that is, and continue being in Darkness as long as you're in the cave after stealing. It will make you invincible to the attacks of the other monsters, too, including the greater water elementals and the giant dragon turtles.

(I speak from experience yet again. Check "Krijol" in the winner section as soon as it is added. It is true - you learn)

Sadly, your *.flg did not properly display the situation at the end of the game.

Next time, read the formating help next to the message, it contains the code that lets you properly display ADOM screenshots. ;)

Ok, will try to format the screenshot next time. Sorry about that. Heh, Potrina was almost like my character. Exactly the same situation heading for ToEF etc. I think I've learned the lesson...hopefully.

why on earth you didn't attack water dragon in darkness with wyrmlance on berserk?

why you haven't maxed out dex and to? -- these goe to 30 on herbs if you don't mind getting sick for a short time.

and why you had such a weird choice in talents?

Damn, that was a nice spear you had. But yeah, attacking the water dragon in the dark with Wyrmlance would have been far nicer. And if you want to loot the cave you must never step out of the dark. Surround both the stairs and all the loot with it, then pick up everything and teleport out. Her water breath has got to be one of the deadliest attacks in the whole game.

Soirana, I think I fed Wyrmlance to demented ratling. Well, he would have killed me with one breath after all. And maxing those stats, I had maxed them abit (dx at least doubled from the start) but at that time when I was doing it I ran out of herbs and didn't remember to continue it after getting a few more herbs. Had like 2 week's break in this game. My own stupidity that is. Concerning the talents, I think I hit a wrong button once or twice. I didn't mean to have affinity with staves. Shouldn't play when you're tired. And also I'm still abit of a noob. Have passed the game twice but still got lots of things to learn. I haven't even visited the bug cave etc.

The lesson is learned, I won't ever try to kill water dragon without proper darkness and equipment.

Wait a sec - I could have looted the *whole* cave with Krijol too... But I only took the wand. I don't even KNOW if there had been something equally powerful in there.

...

I'm so stupid.

(And still I won. It seems you can be as stupid as you want in ADOM as long as you make sure not to die.)

Yeah Silfir. It seems it doesn't matter how wise or stupid you are playing adom. Ability not to die is a matter that is different for advanged and starting players. Anything else is just a way to make your game easier so to speak.

Accidentally using the Mana Orb counts as blatant stupidity. Blasting a Lightning Bolt against a perfectly visible wall and getting 4 SoCRs destroyed, too. Wearing several GoGSes in the ToEF even though you KNOW the rings of Ice just. Don't. Work.

And I still won all three of these games. Seems to be an iron rule.
