i'll take the thief this round

[elenie]

I have been really looking forward to playing a corrupted character, so I'd like to take the ranger. Actually, not being able to use wands may be surprisingly painful (wand of digging or teleportation in SMC). It's gonna be a bit of a dungeon layout lottery for everyone.

[JellySlayer]

Yeah, the wand thing could be tough, both for the SMC, and actually could be kind of annoying for VDDL if stairs aren't found yet (my memory is that they are not). Good luck.

Also, see PM.

[elenie]

Wow, thanks - that is nasty stuff. JellySlayer (always tempted to call you Jelly :-), I can't find the save for the ranger. Could you attach it or point me to where it is?

[JellySlayer]

Here you go. Looks like I may have forgotten it earlier. You can call me Jelly if you want. Some people around here do.

[JellySlayer]

Guess I'll take the wizard this round.

FYI, wizard is cursed. Probably from shopkeeper incident a few turns back I'm guessing.

I picked up water orb and reached HMV. Took about 5k turns to do with without wasting too much time. Assuming I can kill Gaab'Baay (we'll see), I should be able to finish no problem in terms of turns. I've had a few close calls already though... fighting her with only 120 HP is a bit scary.

[Frankie]

Allright, so Bard or CK? I guess, CK. I want to maximize my chances for this mission, since I already died so many times.

[JellySlayer]

Well, bard has teleport (but no control it looks like?), digging, 7lbs, and music. Probably getting through the small cave is not going to be so bad. Not much firepower though. Weapon is okay, but not fantastic, not really any damage wands, no healing potions. You have lots of gold so you can use prayers for healing, or get water orb if you can get it, I guess. Gaab'Baay could be a really nasty fight though. Thrundarr first quest is still open, so if you can find a hill giant (they spawn in wilderness), the fireball wand might help you kill her. Elenie already found the VDDL stairs for you, so that part is fine. So 2/3 parts of the mission are probably fine, but killing Gaab'Baay will be difficult. Again, I think fireball wand is probably best bet to kill her for this PC. Maybe you could bring a pet or three as decoys.

Chaos knight is probably exact opposite problems. You have high damage and monster HP, acid blood for blinding, poison hands for extra damage. I think you should be able to kill Gaab'Baay fine as long as you have decent piety or Water Orb for healing. But pretty much everything else, CK is in some trouble. Basically no wands, scrolls, or potions, food problems, mana battery. You have a little bit of teleport and control for emergency, and invis, which should help with SMC. No obvious way to get VDDL stairs at this point unless babbling mouth gives you a bit of magic map.

Overall, I think bard is probably better set up. CK needs some work (though you have 4000 extra turns to play with).

[Frankie]

One old crone down! We have teleportitis now (pool sip) which is awesome. Also we got 6 blessed stomas and gained a bit of piety (up to "very close")
Here is the recording of the last part of my turn, where I actually do the mission:

[JellySlayer]

Nice job Frankie!

Wizard is done too. Crone went down easily to ball spells. I think I left over a thousand turns on the table, but I couldn't remember what I'd started with (we're in good shape anyway).

Few notes on wiz:
-We do not have teleport control.
-We are cursed.
-Killing Gaab'Baay pushed us to CN, so we have no piety, and possibly a pissed deity.
-Snake from Beyond corpse is in Waldenbrook shop.
