Roguelike Comp #3: Spellunking - Character File Now Attached

[Thomkal]

Thanks JAG for the advice. I too think i'm not ready for Sandworm Lair yet, especially because I've never done it before. I've at least started on orc caves in the past if not finished it. So I'll check out the Lothlorien home quest, and look for the things you suggested and then try the caves.

Also: this dude can't carry shit.

Ow on the pinched nerve, hope it gets better quick. Played TOME for years and never tried a magic-using class? wow that's some serious magic hating. yeah I'm like Mali, carry out a ton of stuff to sell at the end of a level. Wait until you find an egg to carry around in hope it hatches. I found a baby black dragon egg that had me at "Slow -38" because it weighed 400 lbs.

good luck in the comp!

[thesloppy]

dammit. Killed by a death sword. "Oooh! What's that neato sword over there?" whack. dead.

Hellz yes. Stupid magic. I almost exclusively play assassins of various races, just cause I like to whack stuff without too much thinking/strategy, and the stealth covers up for some of my recklessness. This magic stuff is tough.

Been there done that (except more like 'what's that cool potion / scroll?')...friggen mimics.

hey I thought you had played TOME a lot? rookie...

[Thomkal]

Oooh just got my new fate-"You are fated to die on Level 1"-I heard these are killer levels, pardon the pun-lots of out of depth stuff. I wonder is what I'll find there based on the dungeon level or my level. I'm not too eager to find out.

[JAG]

Wow, I've never gotten a death fate before, nor a 'you cannot die by the hands of mortals'. My fates are almost always boring.

Despite my experience, I really am a HORRIBLE player. I basically just go as fast as possible and try to level up as quickly as I can and horde as much crazy junk as possible. My brain is always 5 moves behind my fingers, and I'll usually have whacked something 3 or 4 times before I even know what the hell it is, let alone whether it's particularly dangerous or not.

For example, in this instance I didn't even know what killed me at first, because the death sword whacked and killed me so fast that I was still haplessly mashing keys, zooming right past my 'tombstone' and character record, and closing the application entirely before I entirely registered what had happened.

...as you might imagine, I make a stellar sorcerer.

On the lvl 21 special level you'll find an artifact armor that would be an improvement over what you're currently using.

If you haven't already done the Lothlorien house quest, I would do that as it will be easy. Check there and Bree for some spellbooks that could help you out (Essence of Speed would be tremendous, you'll eventually want disarm / stone to mud for reasons stated above).

Boy you aren't kidding about mopping up in the Orc Caves with Noxious Cloud. A lot of orc mobs gather together in a cavern and the cloud takes most or all of them out if placed properly. Vicious spell.

Did the Lothlorien home quest. Was easy other than when I accidently did my Phase Door spell instead of one of my god spells and ended up in a room with two or three of them. Found a spellbook of Dig to help with the Sandworm Caves later.

[Malificent]

I really wanted to use the Dagger of Life (+20% HP) I just got. That would've been so nice. But the 25% fail rate on spells is just unacceptable. Sigh.

[Malificent]

So, I just got a fate:

"You are fated to find something special on level 5."

Is that any level 5, so if I were to go back into the barrowdowns, I would find something at level 5?

[Thomkal]

I think its any level 5 Mali, but don't know for sure. The Barrow-downs should be fine to go to I would think.

[Malificent]

I am now also fated to meet a novice warrior on level 1 and die on level 1. Plus I have 2 fates that I haven't had a chance to uncover yet. I guess a lot of wandering in the wilderness makes it seem like I'm getting them quickly.

[Thomkal]

there's a buildings in some of the towns where you can teleport to a specific level. It's expensive though.

[Malificent]

Heh, I f'd up my God quest. No extra prayer skill points for me.

[JAG]

I've just skipped god quests entirely myself. May not be the best plan because I think getting the prayer points ups your spirituality which ups your saving throw, which is pretty important.

However my Alfwin is just ridiculous now, lvl 37, his kit currently gives resists for everything, immunity to acid, fire, and cold, sustains all but int and cha, stealth is superb, I can add reflection or regen via amulet, and toss in 1100ish SPs and 520 hps. Only real weakness other than hps which will basically always be a weakness is lack of speed, only +5 permanent speed (can up to +15 with spell). My next quest in Mordor is for rotting Q's (like regular Q's but summon undead), my group killing is still pretty weak so I may take a break from there and level up some at Sacred Land of Mountains.

[Malificent]

Ok, Alfwin VIII died to a 7 headed hydra on level 1. Bring on Alfwin IX!

[Thomkal]

Uh yeah I'd say you met you death fate Mali. Did you at least kill the novice warrior you were supposed to meet on that level first?

[Malificent]

Why, in fact, I did. Alfwin VIII completely fulfilled his destiny. Alfwin IX has a lot to live up to.

If I get up to Alfin LCXVIII, stop me, please.

[Malificent]

Sigh. Hit a summon monster trap and died pretty much instantaneously on level 5. Alfwin X (dark, but no relation to Malcolm) coming up.

[Sporkimata]

Im on Alfwin the 4th and am up to level 28. The advice you guys have given to me has helped a lot. I need to find some invulnrables to darkness though. gonna finish the orc cave, not sure what to do do next.

[Thomkal]

Holy crap just found a scroll of acquirement in the orc caves, now do I read it or save it....

[Sporkimata]

See this is what happens when I play to long. I was out exploring the wilderness and got a little to brave on the water tiles. Got attacked by a greater Kraken that killed me right off the bat. I was level 28. Than In a dumbstruck daze I didn't save the dump. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Nice work! You should already have intrinsic dark resistance as a dark elf, is there a different resistance that you meant?

Be a little wary on lvl 21 in the Orc Cave, remember that since it's a special level you won't be able to teleport out of danger. As long as you go slowly and carefullly it's not too bad.

[path12]

Crap. Got to level 13, got careless and ran into a bunch of cave orcs. My armor was cursed so I couldn't teleport and I was stupid enough to put it on without checking because it was my reward from the first princess quest.

[Malificent]

Damn it, died again at level 18. Can't seem to make it past level 20. Damn it. Damn it, damn it, damn it. Had a elven robe of permanence too. Crapola.

Alfwin XI will be raised up, I guess.

Ouch. Yeah when I start feeling sleepy at the computer, its time to quit playing a roguelike.

You got a cursed armor from a princess quest? Didn't think that was possible.

Well at least you've had plenty of experience at the early levels so you can breeze through them. Good luck with the new guy.

[Thomkal]

I've decided to wait and try the scroll of acquirement on the last level of the orc caves. Of course I have to live that long...

[JAG]

Prior to the competition, I goofed around with a character and got a Phial as an option for a reward which I gladly accepted and equipped. "Oops, it feels deathly cold." Doh...so yeah, it's rare but it is possible to get a cursed artifact.

Sorry Spork, I didn't see a post later that you died. I don't recommend playing around in the wilderness, especially the water squares (krakens and other serious nasties) and some of the mountain squares with dragons.

If people are having trouble with survivability, maybe try skipping the sorcery skill and bringing up the other magic schools individually. My Alfwin II is up to a ridiculous 940 hps since I didn't have to deal with the hp cut from the sorcery skill (granted I've been lucky with equipment too).

[Thomkal]

940 hps?...drool.

I've gotten the ol' Phial of Undeath as a reward before, too. Thanks princess.

[thesloppy]

I started up an Alfwin II, and his spellbook of manathrust immediately got burnt up by a salamander on lvl 1, turning him into the lamest fighter in existence.

I was able to run back to the stairs shrieking like a little girl, run back to town, and without any money wandered into the magic shop, broke, sweatily and shakily whistling to myself, I was reduced to attempting to steal a spellbook of 'Noxious Cloud'...and I got it! But I am not liking Alfwin II's luck so far...

Alfwin II's luck immediately improved, when he received Sumbiosis right off the bat as a reward for clearing lvl 1.

[Thomkal]

that's just too funny Sloppy. Have thought about trying to steal a couple things from the Black Market with this guy but wasn't sure how this version handled it if you fail.

If you don't effectively steal the item, the shopkeeper gets pissed and that shop closes (temporarily, but for a long time).

[thesloppy]

Dahh! Killed by a tiger (or three) on lvl 10. I am the worst sorcerer ever.

[thesloppy]

Alfwin III got Wormtongue as my quest on lvl 1. Good times. Somehow I squeaked by. And was rewarded with Brodda the Easterling as my quest on lvl 2. I don't wanna go up the stairs anymore.

Dude. Alfwin XI. Don't you be claiming my worst sorceror ever title...

[Malificent]

Speaking of which...Alfwin XII. Died at char level 20, on level 10 of the Orc Cave...was in a vault and got whacked by the Ultimate Mimic. Grrrrrrrr.

[JAG]

One of my best characters ever.

[JAG]

I polished off Mordor except the last level (a quest to kill greater draconic Q's ended with me recalling from a level with 100+ great wyrms summoned) and a few levels of Angband which were very tough. I had a quest to kill 5 sky drakes which was a pain and required killing a ton of wyrms they summoned, but the rewards were worth it with me hauling back *7* artifacts (and leaving some others lesser ones on the level).

[Malificent]

Heh, I'm pretty sure you're going to win this one.

[Thomkal]

yeah somehow I don't think I'm gonna catch you. don't know how you manage to get so far in the game. I'm playing a lot and nowhere close. Great job though.

[JAG]

Once you get past a certain point, the exp starts rolling in like gangbusters.

The comp runner can't win their own comp (at least I think that's fair and wise, to give more people a chance to come up with ideas), so keep diving.

I call BS. If you end up with the best character, you should win. And that is a hell of a character.

[Malificent]

I just found the Vorpal Sword. Now I really wish I were a melee character so I could use it.

[dwardzala]

Two questions - when is the comp over? and is BD only a level 10 dungeon (I've gotten 3 consecutive levels with no down stairs)? If so, what is the next best place to go - I have gotten to lvl 20 with only a few resists? (I guess that's three questions).
