Duel to the Death: Game Report Thread

[grobblewobble]

Dark elf fighter dude, shooting with trendy dark elven quarrels.

In the first ~200 turns, I quicly dive to I4. Underway I eat a rockthrower and pick up two scrolls. One
of them is labelled HITME! Awesome.
In I4 I end up in a room where the only way out is blocked by a locked door. I kick the door once, it
doesn't budge at all. Then I decide to wait..
Before my turn ends, I:
- eat the spider bread (which I greatly appreciate)
- unequip everything, put 1 gold in weapon slot
- Pray until Lolth gets angry enough to curse inventory, then drop all items (except cursed coin of course)
- Then pray more until Lolth turns my equipment to dust.
- Now I pick up all items again, they are cursed from earlier prayers.
- Equip items again. Equip the scroll labelled HITME and the scroll labelled Odiv as weapons.
- I change my name to HITME.

9016 take off cloak, true berserk swordsman.
9041 - 2s potion, not drinking this one. Not yet at least.
9098 - tame water snake
9121 - sens snake on suicide mission against acid vortex.
9214 - freaking invisible stalker... Killed that one too.
9390 - lv10
9458 - got wolf corpse
9505 - jump down to i17 with shadow troll aprroaching...
9515 - apparently the only way out of initial room is through locked door. Works for me --- w5 for good.

[_Ln_]

Explored the level, no stairs before the river, so I invoked the rule.

Nothing interesting except me eating almost all food, getting to next clevel and descending to I7.

Now, I7 has a threat room of cave tigers. I spent half a turn rocking them down on very aggressive to get shield marks and healing myself.
There are a bunch of tigers left, one behind the closed door to your right. I've retreated to cook and eat a corpse. Had time to cook, but not eat.

I also found metal cap for +1Pv and there's some stuff in the room with you I dropped to get burdened (Strained now due to tiger corpse).

St got increased by 1, I read our blessed scroll which turned to be ID. Since we almost didn't have any items, pretty useless I'd say.

[JellySlayer]

1011: Door has square lock. I think that's one of the bad ones. Not that I have much choice in the matter. It's runes. Takes me to half health and destroys two quarrels.
1026: Goblin rockthrower drops large ration.
1062: Advance to level 2. Take First aid, archery, athletics.
1145: Advance to level 3. Take Find weakness, archery, athletics. Tough skin for talent, and we get +1 Dx as well.
1202: Find stairs and descend.
1251: Find stairs and descend.
1303: Kill a goblin slavemaster with our scrolls... Advance to level 4. Take Find weakness, archery, athletics. Toughness increase.
1409: Attacked by wererat, blink dogs, and minotaur. Only one quarrel left. Time to run.
1430: Last quarrel is gone. Kill two blink dogs with scrolls.
1474: Kill a few more blinkies and eat blink dog corpse.
1565: I seal off the rats and minotaur in a hallway. Most of the remaining blink dogs appear to be dead, I think. Unfortunately, the stairs are not here. I'll let you sort out this mess.
1620: Eat large kobold corpse. We're sick.
2000: Done.

Sick Coward
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The hallway and large room are probably full of rats. There is a minotaur in the group somewhere was well, and a wererat of course. It's possible that there's still a blinkie or two on the level, but I doubt it, since I rested for about 500 turns and didn't see any more. We have no ammo left for our crossbow. I guess the * is some rocks I never picked up.

[grobblewobble]

I died. Your turn.

[JellySlayer]

I died. Your turn.

I'm dead too.

2000: Guess I gotta fight my way back down the hall, or die trying. But first, I think I'm gonna rest for a couple hundred turns. Maybe I'll get lucky and sickness will be short. I should be able to regain 3 more HP as well, I think.
2225: Strength increases.
2600: Sickness hasn't gone away and HP hasn't increased. Question is, do I dust my gear and true berserk, or do I keep my PV? I think I have to dust.
2601: Dust my gear and equip quarterstaff and rocks. Eat our large ration.
2620: Minotaur is about 5th down the line. HP down to 15/47.
2626: Minotaur goes down.
2631: Advance to level 6. I take affinity with staves. Quasit is next in line.
2665: Wererat and quasit down. HP is 6/49.
2732: Rats are cleared. Now to find stairs.
2746: Dang. The only available room is full of wolves + werewolf. Down to 4/49
2757: Dead. 3975 xps, 2758 turns. Couldn't get passed the wolves.

My turn went very similar to yours, except that I didn't wait for the sickness to wear off and I didn't dust our equipment. I started killing monsters with my feet.

Like you, I killed the Minotaur, the wererat and the quasit but couldn't get past the wolves. The werewolf killed me. Talent was iron skin.

You beat me by a hair

How did you clear sickness? I couldn't take Iron Skin because my To was too low at the time.
