MEANEST frost giant I have ever met!

[Sradac]

This really sucked and lost a char that would have easily been a win. Was in the mana temple, door right next to the stairs opened into a tension room of mixed giants and ettins. No problem, I've dealt with plenty of these. I didnt want to waste any time regening PP after this fight so I whiped out my trusty phase dagger and began bestowing stabby death upon the giants. Everything was going fine until I was down to the last giant, a frost giant. Stabbed stabbed stabbed, the Raging corruption made my phase dagger very potent.

Sitting there with 210/231 hitpoints then I see this "The frost giant critically hits you! The frost giant critically hits you! The frost giant critically hits you! The frost giant critically hits you! You die..." He didnt fight to the death in a blind range, he was only moderately wounded. Worst thing is he took me down to -122/231 hitpoints!!!!!

BAH!

well here's the dump...

this is what happens when you dont scum for To.

[Sami]

wizard... fire bolt...

[Sradac]

Yeah didnt want to waste the turns regening PP, wanted to save it all for breaching the temple. Oh well.

[nathrakh]

You don't need to care about PP. Look only at your HP. :-P

[Sami]

Apparently you have never before visited the mana temple.
Spoiler: There are plenty of magebane and magedoom eyes that drains all your PP well before you can get in.[end of spoiler]

Also 2 or 3 fire bolts doesn't use too much PP and you can also use HP to cast spells.
Another spoiler: Doing so abuses only your mana which isn't going to be a problem because you can use your HP to cast spells even if your mana is low.[end of another spoiler]

[Sradac]

Well being a drakeling my Ma was very low, It only got that high by wishing for Potions of Mana, so I stayed away from HP casting abusing my mana stat.

[nathrakh]

Mana trains to ~35 via book-casting.. easily..

Wishing for mana potions? That's so funny.. seriously.. funny.. But I'm sorry.

[Sadface]

This actually reminds me of the crazy-retarded chaos mutant
that obliterated my monk in one turn. I got stuck in webs, and
a chaos mutant was right next to me, apparently he had just
broken out of webs too. "The chaos mutant critically hits you!
The chaos mutant critically hits you! The chaos mutant misses you.
The chaos mutant misses you. The chaos mutant critically hits you!
The chaos mutant punches through your armor and critically hits you!
The chaos mutant critically hits you! The chaos mutant critically hits
you! You die..."

Lucky + Fate Smiles, no cursing or dooming, with 87/33. :rolleyes:

[Sradac]

I dont see why. There was nothing else I needed to beat the game. Got my AoLS early. Got my phase dagger. all my other stats were fine. Didnt need any other "extras" since Khelavastar got angry at me. had enough speed, 7LB became obsolete for me that far in the game. I used that wish on my RoDS about 200 turns before dying. had over $100k so money obviously wasnt needed. Just gave myself a bit of an extra boost.

[Dudley]

Y bother in mana?
MY ultraish wizard din't care; you cast soemthing, then heal yourself by casting from hp, then cast ect. How to beat andy quick.
