    Found out on IRC that gut beat me on xp, the bastard.

    My death:

    http://www.viddler.com/explore/darre...rey/videos/11/

    Video contains one of my greatest ADOM moments of all time - everyone must watch it!

    Ran into an ogre magus, managed to kill it with some extremely lucky bling, ran into some claw bugs and started blinging them. Bling has better damage so I thought it would be best... may have been a mistake though. A ghul showed up and I stupidly let myself get cornered. I was still on low health from the ogre magus, so he killed me easily.

    I5, 2983 xp, 2206 turns.


    Uh, best of 3, gut....?

    I should warn the more sensitive members of our board
    about the blantant profanity on my last video. Of course
    it isn't my habit to go around blaring potty-mouth expressions,
    but for this vid I tried an experiment. I loaded IRC in the
    background, to chat with Grey as I destroyed him. When he
    realized how very superior my skills were to his, he let loose
    with a tyrade of profanity, the likes of which may never be
    seen again. Shameful.

    To summarize. gut > Grey

    Arena Grandmaster shook his head:
    -That was so fast and so.... boring... Let's try once more this time with feeling.
    He clicked fingers again and two competitors raised again this time without any flesh. Just two gigantic skeletons filled with hatred for each other.
    -I will give you something more durable... Let's hope you'll last a bit.

    gut's round 1 report.

    No chaos tactics used, other than quickly
    descending to I4. Used true berserk to
    dispatch enemies rather easily, but didn't
    think it would continue that way for much
    longer. No notable finds, but screenie
    included anyway. Note, PC is on full HP's : )

    Again lacking report of what's in the level you half-explored? How droll, gut...

    Video is here, complete with even dodgier accent than normal:

    http://www.viddler.com/explore/darre...rey/videos/12/

    I dare you, gut, to try to equal my vocal efforts in that vid :P

    I had a fairly uneventful turn overall - video makes it more entertaining. Equipped the large hammer and kept up true berserking with a bit of crossbow work. Milked a hurthling for some quarrels (lost most anyway), and a goblin for some rocks. Descended to I5 and then I6 a bit later. Explored the level a bit and found the stairs. Retreated to the stairs when I saw a dark elven warrior, but I ended up killing him anyway. Reached level 7 - in all I pumped Alertness, Concentration, Find weakness, Healing and Stealth. Chose Greased Lightning talent.

    Decided to take off all equipment and drop everything and start dancing around in my last turns. Equipped the stethoscope as a weapon and prayed to get it cursed. Picked back up the potions and some gold and bandages... but got too into the music and forgot to descend on my last turn :/ Oh well, I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of it anyway...

    Picked up items, dusted stethascope. Wielded hammer,
    +2 PV ammy, boots, and some rocks. get lucky with
    stairs, so descend to I10. Planned on stopping there,
    but heard 'rushing water'. Didn't realize that it
    wasn't a river until watching my vid. Thinking it was
    a river, I didn't want to leave the PC there, as we
    all know Grey's, um, ~creative~ ideas pertaining to
    when the river rule can be invoked. He would prolly
    have explored 80% of the level without seeing a
    river, spy a goblin or something, and retreat to
    the up stairs and crying "river rule!" all the way.

    Ended my turn by wielding a lovely pair of boots.
    Also dropped some stuff on the ground for creative
    reasons, upon which I feel no need to elaborate.
    Feel free to pick it up and equip it if ye like

    Made a vid, but won't up it until Grey takes his
    so-called 'turn'. Don't want to give him anymore
    help than I have already. In my opinion, no chaotic
    tactics were used (once again) on my turn...

    Equipping a pair of boots in your right hand isn't chaotic? :P

    Will take my turn quickly now...

    Ack, had to play that turn quick, and things didn't turn out great. Made a video, but it's not too interesting because I was playing too fast to commentate. Also don't have time to upload it now.

    Started by picking stuff back up (where'd our extra healing and poison potions go?) and equipping large hammer. Went around level throwing rocks at people and true berserking. Playing fast got me hurt a lot, so I spent a bit of time recovering HP too. Milked a goblin rockthrower and got poisoned a couple of times by some pit vipers.

    Descended around 800 turns in, now very hungry. Quickly reached starving on the next level so I descended again in the hopes of finding some food. First thing I saw was a fire vortex, but I got lucky throwing rocks at it. Dropped a bunch of stuff to get rid of burdened as our strength starts diving (it's in the lower-left of the map - metal cap and some weapons and non-stacking rocks down there). Drank all potions (booze and water) and read all scrolls (identify and vermin control). Avoided a displacer beast and ratling warlord, zipped around the level, closed the door on a hill giant, and finally reached the turn limit within sight of a large/iron ration. You might need a shade of luck to get to the food and eat it before dying of starvation :/

    On the map I've noted the last known positions of some creatures:

    H = hill giant, r = ratling warlord, F = displacer beast, R = rust monster, c = giant centipede, k = kobold

    Stairs up are in a dark room at the bottom, just so you know.
