serious sam?
That game wasn't awesome.
I was asking for a God for my Merfolk Crusader, but I decided I would forgo waiting for an answer and simply experiment with Makhleb, who I've never worshiped.Heh... Makhleb is a really cool god - easy to gain piety (accepts killing almost anything and sacrificing corpses), gives ability to summon '1' demons. Very useful for speedruns... until you summon a hostile Executioner, that is. But don't worry, it happens quite rarely - only in the most important moments
Haha.I once found it in some vault... but i wasn't using spears so I just threw it in my stash.
I just found the +0, +12 Glaive of Prune in a shop.
15 damage, -3 to hit.
I've also seen the Staff of Wucad Mu in a shop.I found it in one of Pandemonium levels, even escaped with it for higher score
Am I missing something? I have only had one char get to level 7 (troll fighter i think) and then quickly died on level 6 of the dungeon. ??
First, read some basic advices in CrawlWiki http://www.chaosforge.org/crawl/index.php?title=CrawlWiki. (But be careful if you don't want to read spoilers)
Second, play carefully, try to keep control over the situation. Learn when to run and when to fight.
Third, practice makes perfect.

You ran into both a shadow dragon and a titan on level 16?Yeah, this time translocations saved my life (although I still think it is the most useless school of magic).
That's harsh.
Reminds me of my fatal encounter as a hill orc stalker who ran into Frederick, Francis AND Boris, all on Snake:4. Francis was on his own, and swiftly defeated, but Frederick and Boris were apparently shooting the breeze before my character wandered into them.
Running into two higher mages (bolt of iron! crystal spear!) at the same time is not fun. Partially my own fault for dying though - I thought I could take them with a berserk . Took out Frederick (and actually gained a level from it), then ate an orb of energy from Boris.
