Well, I didn't die.

The only interesting thing is that this guy is always low on hp and prone to all types of injuries. So be careful and have fun!

So now we all have to take the same turn and 'better' Cash or do we just play on from here, in the established order? I have a question though: has EVERYONE forgot we've got two prayers? Being careful about them is one thing, but if we all keep waiting for HP instead of using the prayer we'll end up with piety decaying naturally, leaving us with enough for just one healing, whilst having used up more food than was needed. I admit to being partly guilty because I did the same, but that was the freaking first turn and I felt I'd advanced enough already, what with being on I:3, since our PC isn't really all that tough.

Carry on in the established order. Dead players are forgotten about, left to rot by the side.

True, but I don't think some health would've helped against 4 claw bugs or a bunch of pit vipers in irinkas place, they would've shredded us anyway. Maybe I should've used it instead of a charge of an acid wand to kill the hill orc. We'll see, we'll see.

[Jack the Ripper]

Okay folks, so now we wait for Confucio to come along and play his turn. Might I suggest double-checking to see whether rockthrowing is better than coin-throwing for our merchant? I have a sneaky suspicion that might be our safest way to inflict damage. Especially since we can even hit the dreaded dopplegangers

[Confucio]

Ok
i try to do my best (specially writing good report in a decent english)
start playng now

6012 kill the cave lizard, drop a corpse!
6023 a fire beatle

Dude, much as I am scared by the big bad bat, your turn is up. There are no extra turn negociations. Its over man. You made it.

:EDIT:

I won't be posting a 'got it' for the save until; I here from our illustrious game moderator on the clearly chaotic extra descend.

[Grey]

Can't see anything against the rules there - take your turn, coward.

[vogonpoet]

Fair enough, clearly all the anti chaos rules and the bullshit posts surrounding them are just a lot of hot air then. I shall act accordingly

Got it:

8000:
So, duel wield some shields, rock the ghost bat, then check our
offensive capabilities on very aggressive:

Missile		to Hit		Damage		Energy cost
-------------------------------------------------------------
Coin		+17		1d2+10		1200
Thrown Rock*	+20		1d4+12		925
Boomerang	+11		2d4+4		1000

*we have nine nice (+3, 1d4) rocks

So, as I stated in a previous post, training rocks has indeed
been a good idea - stupid coin throwing energy cost really
does suck. I shall stick to rocks for now.

Other gear - am going to try on some stuff.
Yay, our fair leather cap is not cursed, and has [+0, +0], woot.
Damn, we have no other gear worthy of the name. Oh well.

8028:
Venture out of first room.
Not sensing anything.
KAPOW scroll found.

8076:
find down stairs, not using them yet.

8306:
Create giant rat corpse just in time for first hunger pangs.
Mmm, tasty.

8387:
Switch to spear to melee some rats, some of whom are consumed.

8450:
Level 10
Wow, the only skills worth pumping have terrible dice.
1d3 for find weakness? That's what you get for sticking to missiles.
screw that. I pump climbing (snake pits), pickpockets (sad
humanoid tension rooms once we get rid of our more crap shield)
and first aid.

Hey we now have two leather caps [+0, +0], rock on.

The goblin does not seem to own anything of value, the cheap fucker.
Ha, he has his corpse though, nom nom nom. Bwa ha ha ha!

8606:
Swordsman - cant disarm me when I'm wearing two shields my blue friend.
Beserk rock and back for the win.
Rock a bloody hurthling to death for great orcish justice.
See a yellow ooze in last unexplored room of level - decide its time
to leave - retreat to downstairs and decide to regen my health before
going down, whilst waiting to see if door will open...

Holy crap our regen is terrible.

8928:
Flesh golem opens door, I have 45(46), time to descend.

These caverns almost seem to be endless. There is a stair leading upwards
here.

First part of my mission is complete. Now to survive another 1000+ turns.
Tricky. Ha, sense a certain tension.

Oh shit. I hear a distant wind.
Oh shit. The bolt bounces! Fuck, there must be a lightning lizard
out of LoS. Retreat round corner. I web the lizard, and beserk rock
the crap out of it. It struggles, it dies. Phew. Seriously, I do not
need electrocution right now.

9017:
There is a stone golem to my left... I close the door and run.
I have two carpe diem scrolls, one fair, one good.
I read the good one hoping to ID some potions to recharge our wands.
Success. Our potions:
uncursed booze! Awesome sauce.
uncursed cure poison. Not too bad.
uncursed carrot juice. Yeah, we knew that.
uncursed extra healing. Wish it was blessed.
uncursed potential toughness. IIRC, should satiate like a bitch.

So if I get lucky, I can put two charges into one wand.
We also have a scroll of uncursing, which I am tempted to burn on our
shield for extra points of dv and pv. Other option is to uncurse our bow.
However, our arrows are crap - our biggest stack is cursed and unbalanced.
Great. I gotta say, I am tempted to recharge the webbing wand rather than
one of our acid wands... we can rock stuff pretty good.

We also have a scroll of defence, which I will just go ahead and read
for a lack of DV penalty on our armour.

I go ahead and recharge our webbing wand.
ZOMG - 3 charges. Awesome. I was expecting 1

9188
Crap. Hill orc sergeant and lightning vortex.
Good news: Am in a decent sized room.
Web time for orc.
And I could use some darkness, but aint got none. Acid for vortex.
Its destroyed! Stupid orc sergeants are nice to web - they step out
the way, let you web a nice patch, then calmly step into it. Rocked,
honestly I thought I was dead there, but not yet.

9333:
An uncursed hooded cloak. That will be incredibly useful in the wilderness.
Actually, its a point of DV. Not complaining. Still not sure what to
uncurse - duel wielding with the wooden shield still.

Whilst exploring level, I hear some webs ripping:
The listening skill is awesome: I know the stone golem has found its
way from the room I closed it in into my web room, and is now hunting
me down. I find it a corridor, and once again do the Coward-two-three
Beserk-two-three Rock the World Tango, one of my favourite dances in
ADOM folklore.

9514:
Finally lead golem via my web room for some extra space into the room
I originally found it in, and lo and behold, there are the stairs.
It dies to a critical rock, and the only place unexplored on the level
is the tension room. The level is now probably half pacified thanks
to the tension. My plans: to chill out in the web room for a few turns,
to be certain that the level is indeed pacified outside the tension room,
then go open the door of the tension room and run like buggery for stairs
if its something nasty. Tension rooms are just too loot rich to ignore
completely, and I can open the door from a diagonal, so its not too risky.

In other news, we have 15 stacked 1d4 rocks thanks to the stone golem
and the awesome Detect item status skill.

Once we are starving, then I will drink the pot toughness - don't want
to be bloated for longer than necessary.

Ah, the tension room is not where I thought it was - its at the end of
a straight corridor - I shall just head for the stairs then.

10000: not yet made it to stairs.
