Amusing Xom amuses Xom. It makes it more likely that he will do something, but good or bad is totally random. Note that him doing bad things also increases his interest in you.

His page in the wiki is unfortunately slightly confusing but he pretty much does whatever for his own amusement. Just like you may pull the lever in a fort releasing a dozen goblins, or give everyone a legendary bedroom.

Thanks for that spell Penguin. Now I just need to get it.

inaluct, I think they both do, but Sif Muna's free mana as a mummy makes me much deadlier in combat and I can always rest afterwards.

Is there any method of healing other then potions, HP stealing weapons, and that healer god? As a mummy, I can't drink, can't worship good gods, and as a wizard HP stealing weapons aren't a good viable.

Fenrir: All mutations amuse Xom. Pretty much any self destructive thing you can do amuses Xom. In a way, he is like the standard DF player.

I think all he has at the moment is a shelter. An actual hut or treehouse is required to advance the "plot". Would make sense if there was an actual mechanics reason to build something other then a shelter. Also would be nice if you could take down your shelter without spending an hour hitting it.

Just keep building and exploring. You'll find it.

Wow. Nice dagger. Wish I could find something other then those crappy daggers of venom that poison the wielder if you don't resist. Killed 3 vampire's before I realized that holding such a dagger will kill you. Now I'm running a mummy wizard who just got the channel mana ability from Sif Muna. Unlimited bats and rats to summon.

Actually the second island requires tasks to be completed. Eventually you will need to acquire children of the sea and then you will go to the third island. A weapon would be a very good idea to carry at all times.

Slowly. Only plant about 10-15 units at a time and wait till its fully grown before harvesting. Every time you harvest, replant 10-15 plants and grind the rest.

Hawkfrost: It means theres is a pool at the bottom of the stage. Often filled with fish and frogs and almost always requiring a rope to get out of if you fall in.

I saw it and flew past on my one win. Didn't wish to wreck my run with its jetpack, shotty, and 40+ bombs.

You can safely farm hemp in massive quantities. Only grain has problems.

Oh yes, an interesting note. Fire arrows make great log farming implements if you don't feel like swinging an axe a 50 times a tree. Just find a stand of palm trees and hit each tree with one fire arrow, and about 24-48 "hours" later they will die and leave you a log. Also works great if you want to clear cut an area for garden or kiwi hut purposes.

Stick + Feather = wooden arrow
Pebble + Stick + Feather = arrow
Wool (not cord) + Stick + Feather = Fire arrow
Finally I believe
Poison + Stick + Feather = poison arrow
Poison is I think
Poison mushroom + Stone = poison

Note that if you build defense towers near lion stones and have the arrow retrieval skill from hunting, you can get hundreds of thousands of free wooden arrows. Ok, maybe not that many, but more then you will ever use.

Third Island in adventure mode is meant to be a tree hopping affair IIRC. Get into the trees and avoid confrontation. Bringing fire arrows is very helpful since everything but rocks can burn.

Some quick tips.

Capture butterflies with the net.

Build the best shelter you can, either the treehouse or the log cabin.

Stock up on bread, and berry juice. Large fried meat is also good.

For story mode, make sure you carry a GOOD weapon with you. Fire arrows are easy to make, and with a long bow have incredible range. Also carry a pair of flint and food with you.

Using a net against a resource does almost no damage to that source while still harvesting the resources involved. Great for bamboo and those short vine only trees.

If your trying to kill time waiting for grain or hemp to grow, pull out your shovel. Using it massively increases your hunger, thirst, and tiredness, and allows you to sleep much sooner then normal. Plus you can find mushrooms and other useful things underground.

Always build any new building that you can. Most have fairly obvious uses, but certain structures aren't obvious but extremely useful.

And thus ends the career of another orc priest. Dungeon level 10 with a 9 orc followers, taken down by an electric eel that was just stepped inside my vision radius. Almost as bad as Nethack.

The fifth skill you get is recall orcs. Summons every orc you control on the level to your side. Just have to go up and down an extra time.

What I'm not happy about is that I somehow managed to screw something up, so the game is now recording the directional keys as letters.  This means I can't select from the character list, since it will just keep typing in letters it the "new character name" box.
I think that it uses a workaround to get the arrow keys to work. It assigns the arrow keys the qwerty letters that move your character instead of just doing a separate move with them.

I must say this game is extremely fun. Vampire and mummy death knights and priests are good, but if you really want an army, you have to use an orc priest.  Currently have a lvl 9 orc priest on DL 7 with 4 plain orcs, 1 orc warrior, 2 orc wizards, 1 orc priest, and a named ork warrior called Worak. Things don't live long against this army.
