I thought icelandic was one of the most conservative, non-changing languages in the world...so much so that an Icelander might still understand old norse writings about Vikings. Which we Norwegians sure don't. And they rarely borrow terms from other languages, they usually make up their own words for the same meaning. margarine = smjørliki (something butter-alike) barometer = loftvog (air-weight) So to translate ADOM into Icelandic you would probably need to make up good old-fashioned words for "Protection Value" ("spjutstoggeverde?") and "Greater Moloch" ("storhelvitijävel") Good luck |

The 'conservative, non-changing' traits are mostly in the grammar department. The syntax is the same as it has been for a very long time, that is why they have few difficulties reading old texts. When new words enter their language they try to make good icelandic _alternatives_ to the new words. Their reputation of rarely borrowing terms from other languages is a bit overrated. However, they have some priceless translations, like the ones you mention. Like your transcription of Greater Moloch. Will play Rhea tomorrow. S. |

She's still alive, I hope? :( 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! |

I'm not sure where you live, but regardless of whether I have to swim there or not, I WILL find you, Sulangatori... You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.

That depends on how much you are willing to INCUR MY WRATH In any case, It seems I don't need to swim to Norway, but it sure would be faster. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball.

*For some seconds the ground rumbles.* Seriously, Sulangatori, I understand you may have a busy life (mine's hectic as hell) but this is the third time in one and a half weeks you've said you'll play the game and haven't, and we're all quite keen to get Rhea to the finish line. Sorry to say this, but (pending agreement by the others) if you don't play by the end of tomorrow I think I'll pass the save file on to the next person on the list.

Darren Grey is right. Seriously, if you killed her, it's fine, we just want to KNOW. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.

Deaths are one of the joys of ADOM - recounting their sadness and stupidity is all part of the game. Besides, she's been living on borrowed time since the Mana Temple. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Sulangatori Registered user Tourist Last page view: 1441 days, 4 hours, 52 minutes and 52 seconds ago. |
Ah, yes, tomorrow it is! I will most definitely play then. She is not dead. Cautiously waiting in the shadows, I'd say. She is very patient. Good girl. |

Ironfist? That totally makes up for the waiting! You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears!

Haha, very nice! Thanks for the update, Sulangatori. Not so many strength worries now with the glorious IronFist. I still think a wish for GoGS is the best choice, though corruption may be a little worrisome. But hmm, we do have writing sets we could take advantage of after the gate is closed - no need for mana points then (as long as she doesn't write herself to death of course).

Careful with switching from Elemental Gauntlets to Ironfist. The RNG *WILL* summon a host of Great Wyrms, that HAPPEN to breath the one element that you have the least resistance to. Trust me. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

You should use the merchant's level 40 class power on D:50. Calm the monsters by giving items to them. Man that's a horrible class power! Seriously, I only have a few reminders. Use darkness against the chaos monsters, the WMoMC's can see in the dark, but they aren't that dangerous by themselves. Also, make the balors teleport to you one at a time, by closing the levers. Actually, that's a conservative strategy that may take more than 2000 turns. I think Rhea is tough enough to take on D:50 in a more 'frontal assault' way if you like.

I would just say, if Rhea is taking a pounding, remember she does have some pretty awesome one-handed weapons and a few ok shields in her back pack. |

Darren Grey Registered user Last page view: 4238 days, 23 hours, 28 minutes and 4 seconds ago. |
Yeah, sword and shield is probably recommended against many of the chaos goons. Trusted One resists *everything* if you ever have problems with stunning etc. Invisibility helps against the ghost lords and chaos warriors, but is unfortunately useless against anything else. The big bad balors are best taken down with blessed demon or humanoid slaying ammo (the two-hander will work nicely enough against them, but you've got to expect a few corrupting hits). Prayer should still be available for healing, otherwise there's that one potion of ultra healing. Keep an eye on corruption - stiff muscles has an annoying habit of creeping up without being noticed. Before going in I'd suggest changing to the white dragon scale mail and blesing and drinking that PoGA. Oh, and putting the wish to good use of course. And don't forget the uselessness gift!

If we don't have one yet, wands of destruction should maximize our chances of getting out there alive with the world saved. Although one might consider that to be the method for pussies.

Needless to say(?) that D:50 is Super-über-hyper easy with blessed SoFS - Just if you feel you are outmatched. "The white baby dragon equips the small shield." WTF :D |

Have no time to finish it today. Have just prepared a bit. From the _Update_: Threw down a lot of useless armor and weapons. Stuffed all orbs in their holes. Blessed 8 water potions -> we now have 12 holy waters. Not too much. Blessed & drank 2 PoGA. Blessed PoUH. Results from potion of insight: Naturally: Fire, Poison, Cold, Acid resist. Luck & Fate Teleport Control teleport Paralyze resist Shock Immune. From items: invis, stun resist, immune ice, luck & fate Dropped gold, spellbooks, misc. items to make us un-burdened. Used alchemy to make 4 longevity potions and one booze (stoma + balance, (unholy) water + burb root) Equipped potion of uselessness in missile slot. Now, I plan to fight our way through. First clear the way to the levers, then handle them to turn off corruption and lure out the balors. Might take over 2000 turns, so next person might stand by for closure. I hope to gain some skill-training levels, get alchemy to 100 and hopefully find longevity potions in the PoGA recipe. If so then a wish for the second ingredient might be a smart move. We'll see. Wish is unused, of course. Extra style finishing the game without using it... |

You should be aware I just might spend the wish on wands of destruction. Has anyone ever gotten the black unicorn reward? You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.

Darren Grey Registered user Last page view: 4238 days, 23 hours, 28 minutes and 4 seconds ago. |
Yeah, black unicorn reward is a minor chaotic act (we shouldn't have to worry about that). Gives around 6 PoGAs (will we even have enough holy water for those babies?) and rather importantly about 2 corruptions. Whether or not we actually want to take that depends on how Rhea fares on D50.

If I might just ask a little question: WHY THE HELL DID WE KILL THE WHITE UNICORN IF WE DON'T USE THE POGA BEFORE D:50 ANYWAY???!!!111one *PANT* *PANT* *WHEEZE* You drop the golden ball.

Well, I think it's clear there's been quite a few silly mistakes made throughout the game. This is what happens when we change player every 2k turns :) Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |
