That's what happens when you hang around on D:1 for too long.

I didn't, it's turn 4213. I had barely explored D:2 and went back to pick up some runed darts.  :P

Anyways, do you guys dip all stairs before diving onto the next level?

I always at least count the stairs after I think I cleared a level, if I count three up and down, I move on.  Its not a bad idea to dip all the stairs, it makes autotravel faster.

And a troll.  And with a -5 int mutation...

Wizard wins are clearly marked as different from non-wizard wins (and are unscored).


Well, the -5 int was from morbid curiosity during the later parts of the game at what would happen by running around in mutagenic fog for a couple dozen turns in the abyss.  Stat death nearly resulted lol. I was semi-suicidal after realizing that there wasn't enough food in the dungeon to keep me training up forever to eventually perfect my character.

At the height of that characters power, he had at least one rank in every mutation you could possibly want, and no bad ones.   How did he get rank 9 in stabbing? He was stealthier and faster than a spriggan with over 300hp and scales of every draconian flavor.  The only mutation he didn't have was mutation resistance, and after getting my ass handed to me by the orbs of fire and ancient liches of Zot:5, I decided to level up in the abyss.  After getting my perfect mutation set wrecked in the abyss and zot, but leveling up my skills in the process, I went to my stash where I had painstakingly saved up 60+ mutation potions.  After drinking about 50 of them, I finally had another great set.  I then proceeded to get wrecked by even more orbs of fire.  I limped back to my stash, downed the rest of my mutation potions, got my berserkeritis and teleportitis down to only one rank each, realized that I couldn't keep going forever, despite my best efforts to rebuild my previous strength, my food supplies were slowly attritioning.  Lets just say that I took off my amulet of clarity and let my berserkeritis kill the remaining orbs of fire between me and the Orb.

My first win ever! Troll Chaos Knight of Xom! 4 runes

Read it and despair as he is unleashed upon the surface with the orb.

I feel like I could almost write a book on this species/class combo.

Apparantly even with rF+++ hellfire can still do 48 damage in one hit to you.  Best Troll Chaos Knight attempt in a long time.  Note to self, nothing resists hellfire.
Fiends are bad news. :-(
 Attempting Elf:5 with a level 17 Troll is asking for trouble, though perhaps that sweet rod of destruction made you a lttle overconfident. I like to at least have abjuration (or better yet silence) to deal with demonologists. Summoning-types can be a royal pain for melee-based characters, my level 27 minotaur gave up on the last level of elf solely because of the demonologists. He even had a rod with abjuration, but it was not enough.


Until you pointed it out I didn't realize I was already elf 5, I was planning on just delving for loot a little, I thought it showed up early and honestly thought that rFire worked against demon fire, even though I was withdrawing at the time, not charging.  I rarely used that sweet rod, really just for hydras, but it was a good gift. I honestly used my ability to breathe fire more.  I had to decide to delve deeper in the main dungeon without sInv.  Was I overconfident? probably, I lacked rN otherwise the demonologist wouldn't have taken 3/4ths of my health with two torments and the fiend wouldn't have taken me by surprise. 

Oh, I'll only be satisfied if I win with TrCK, but Demonspawn are fun enough, but the game gets a little boring when you aren't eating the equivalent of 3 horses per level.  I like to chant NOMNOMNOM when I play Troll.

My eternal quest to ascend as a Troll Chaos knight continues, unfortunately.

Why did I have to backpedal from Rupert right into Nikola?

http://crawl.develz.org/morgues/0.8/DrkPaladin/morgue-DrkPaladin-20110606-014903.txt  (notable mention for having obtained a crossbow of chaos, so much fun that I didn't care if my bolts were hasting, berserking, healing, polymorphing, and turning invisble everything and couldn't stop laughing as he was torn to shreds)

Yeah, I didn't think felid zerker was doable, but I was in the middle of playing one when the tourney ended, and was chugging along nicely.  I reached Zot with my Troll Chaos Knight for the first time after the tourney I managed to scroll-learn spellcasting and was a respectable necromancer (Fell asleep while mashing the button in slime pits while delving for loot and died, watch out for that ghost! nearly 230 HP, shield in the 40's, and insane resistances to everything, great mutation set), and I'm well on my way with my Troll Necromancer now, (Worshipping Xom still)   If I had dropped that ghost early on, I would have 1st place on ghost kills.

Here's his Morgue

I was banished to the abyss for a long time, and it was a super entertaining game.  About 8 spectators were watching my hijinks in the abyss Xom thought it was hilarious to teleport you away from the abyss exit, and xom saved my life as many times as he screwed me over.  People were lolling at me alternating between summoning canines and small animals against demons to butchering with animate skeleton while blocking hits to fend off starvation. every potion was drunk, and every scroll used.  Xom mutated me and tormented me constantly, keeping my health at half.  I walked in with the randomly shout mutation, attracting every monster for miles, and left an entirely different animal with the abyssal rune in hand.  Since I was banished deep in elf halls, I was worried I would be surrounded upon escape, but managed to walk away.


Also notable is that Xom randomly drained my exp so much that I went between 19 and 20 about three times

Looks like the tourney is over, that was alot of fun.  I hope there'll be another one like it soon.

114
Apparently DD can't equip a Runed DWARVEN Battleaxe even though I removed my Shield and anything I had quivered. Is it to big or something?

EDIT

I just noticed that my ghosts are in 3rd place for most ghost kills.  Makes sense since I make so many of them!

115
I'm suddenly having trouble playing on the server, although I can still log in and watch other people's games, just lost another troll character.  Hopefully all these trolls with one level of spellcasting/evaporate will own some people as ghosts


Edit: Apparantly one of my ghosts killed a sixteenth level character, because I have another ghost kill and 11 more points.  I wonder which character it was?

My hill orc priest had 177 HP, lots of resists and 50 SV when he died,but he fell down from d20 to d25, so it would be weird if he got a kill for a 16th level character that deep in the dungeon.  I had plenty of level 12 melee characters that might have assisted in killing a level 16 character who was surrounded by other monsters.

116
Ouch, first time ive suffered stat death, but at least it was a humorous death message.  Drkpaladin forgot to breathe.

117
Yeah, I had all the gear, and I was very close to the elf rune too, I might have actually totally cleared the room it was in but I didn't want to poke my head in there after expending all my resources fighting off the annihilators and blademasters so I decided to go down a level or two in the dungeon and got caught by a shaft.  I'll try and keep the competition up with the other bay12 teams.

118
So close to the orb!  I've never gotten that close.  I fell down a shaft an extra three levels before I was ready though. 

119
More like my troll ghost/transmuter.  He only knew evaporation, and if he were any good at casting it in life, he wouldn't be dead lol.  He's much scarier as a ghost, almost all fighting/unarmed/shield.

120
My own ghosts have been kicking my ass, I guess thats a good thing?!
