Game Reports:

After each turn you must give a full and frank description of your activities, with especial detail on things that may affect other players. This can be done as a story or as a plain retelling of events. Some notable things to include:

-dungeon levels traversed
-items found
-items lost/damaged
-prayers used
-piety gained using holy symbol
-levels gained
-skills increased
-talent choices
-stat changes
-where you left off
-monsters on the current level not killed

It is also preferred for you to create a log file with the '(' or ')' key at the end of your turn and post it in code tags. You will need to trim it down a lot to fit in the post though - I recommend cutting out inventory junk, unused weapon skills, background, kill list, and anything else that isn?t relevant to your play.

You must, of course, attach the save file to your post for the next person to pick up. This must be made into a zip file to be accepted on the forum (no other file types are allowed). There is a file limit of 97 Kb - thankfully in infinity we?re very unlikely to reach this.

Should you die please give us a report of what happened in as much gruesome detail as possible so we can mock you ;) Do not post an flg - this would reveal hidden information like equipment identifications and intrinsics. However please do give us details for the high score listing ? in particular score, xps, no turns, what killed you and how, and what level you were on (most of this stuff is at the start of the achievements section of the flg).

High Score:

The infamous list of how everyone died.


68360 Soirana, advanced to level 16 (142156 xps), survived for 25129 turns.
Pulverised by an ancient minotaur on I39.

65983 Grey, advanced to level 16 (139270 xps), survived for 24069 turns.
Dissolved by an ancient black dragon on I37.

44486 deepshock, advanced to level 15 (122897 xps), survived for 23192 turns.
Hundred crack fisted by a mimic hivemind on I33.

23074 Orbic, advanced to level 13 (47632 xps), survived for 11286 turns.
Eaten by a pack of hungry wolves and their werewolf master on I13.

16987 vogonpoet, advanced to level 12 (32106 xps), survived for 8389 turns.
Executed himself with a lightning bolt on I11.

1357 riktikticheck, advanced to level 1, survived for 34 turns.
Killed by a pit viper on I1. The first blood!

Well, we should probably name our little girl before she dies horribly. Any suggestions from the group on names? Personally I'm a big Tolkien fan, and wouldn't mind using a name from one his books, such as Yavanna or Elanor. Ultimately riktikicheck gets precedence on choice though.

Soirana
05-19-2008, 12:43 PM
Flare woul be nice name for a league of fire.

Grey
05-19-2008, 01:45 PM
Actually yeah, nice idea - something Fire-related would be more appropriate.

Orbic
05-19-2008, 02:44 PM
Ignis Fatuus?
There is fire in there,
I like the idea of misleading travelers... it seems corruptingly well suited for this game.
It also fits a short sized person.
It also makes me think of the Dead Marshes
But: Is Ignis girlish enough?

riktikticheck
05-19-2008, 02:51 PM
well personally i do not much have a difference on the name, but following my naming policy: i like to use L5R names, and a name fitting for this game maby the master of fire: Isawa Hochiu

but as said the name makes no difference to me :D

i see i have gotten the first chanse to die an embarrasing death right off the bat ;)

deepshock
05-19-2008, 03:05 PM
Let's see how things go. :)

riktikticheck
05-19-2008, 03:27 PM
well that sure didn't take long

so i take the clothes off to get berserk bonuses, read the book once, then open the first door and find pit vipers right behind it, the first one died just fine, but the second one got into the doorway before i could close it and him i missed 3 times getting poisoned 3 times (prayed at that point but missed the last viper once too, so was at 4 poisons and damage) i expected to be dead, but that was some bad luck. so some monster had walked on the trap ... oh well atleast i expect you grey to survive a bit longer :D

now you can name the character as you like

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her achievements during her adventures:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isawa Hochiu, the hurthling priest, was killed by a pit viper.

Orbic

Damn RNG...
You still stand a chance, let's see if all the others die before the 2000 turns as well ;)

Grey
05-19-2008, 03:35 PM
That's brilliant! Never expected a death so fast :D Well done, riktikticheck, I don't think anyone can beat you there. Doubtthere was anything you could have done in the circumstances...

Well, time for me to see if I will be the next weakest link :/

Grey

2000 turns went smoothly for the most part. Only went down one level in total and ended my turn next to the stairs on I2. Named her Hochi based on riktikticheck's ill-fated char because I like the sound of it.

Took everything slow and careful, cause I was paranoid as hell. 2 staring eyes were worrisome, but I made sure to take them away from other monsters and fight them alone. Found some rocks, a blessed crude spear and a spellbook of neutralize poison, which I've been bookcasting to train Concentration and Mana. Grey ooze brought me down to 6 hp whilst I was trying to fling rocks at it - had to use a prayer on healing, then drop some stuff to rid of Burdened status and run 'n' shoot - thank christ for Long Stride. Then found a hat with 2 PV (hurrah). Got up to experience level 7, with 3 strength increases! Chose Healthy and Miser talents - I suggest Treasure Hunter and missile talents in future. Maxed out Healing and Detect Item Status, whilst also plugging points into Literacy, Concentration and First Aid, amongst others.

Towards the end of my turn I went next to the down stairs and kept using the holy symbol to try and restore a bit of piety. Didn't manage to get back to comfortable though before I was interrupted by a raider. Took him down to severely injured and then the 2000 turn limit hit. Logged and saved - over to you, Orbic.

Yikes...that's kind of frightening :D Such a quick death in such an ugly way. hehehehe. You killed 2 monsters! yay! I feel for you man :)

Orbic
05-19-2008, 04:49 PM
Thanks - I'll give Hochi some fun around the ID.
I hope she can get to the next staircase :)


She did!
Nothing special during these turns.
She met a Werewolf, stoned to death - It did not summon despite the time I left him.

Down I4
Met another grey ooze, stoned again.

Found Divine wrath!
Level 8, increased
Archery
Concentration
Food preserv
Music

Bolted a shadow, large gnoll and owlbear

She prayed back to comfortable, and dowmn to I5

Learnt some divine wrath, kept the book.
Met a tough caveman and a nasty green w
A karmic l decided he was hostile and thanks to rocks Hochi is not yet on a path to nowhere. Music no high enough for friends.

She was waiting for the 4000T when an ogre, a spider and a barbarian leader came asking what she was doing there, rock and roll for them. A few HP taken by the ogre, whose corpse satisfied only hunger.

Total stat changes +2 St, +1 Ma
She left a stack of useless junk, can be retrieved before going further :)
The only major item found was the spellbook. She has arrows but no bow yet. Good luck.

Woo, Divine Wrath! That'll help immensely until we bump into a lightning vortex. I see we got +1 Ap too, heh. Hopefully we can build up a fairly solid character before we start getting corrupted ideas...

deepshock

The time of retribution. Round 1. Decide the destiny!

Notes, round 1:

Scored Level 9 and Treasure hunter. Maxed out Literacy and Concentration, using the other boosts for Food Preservation and Stealth.
Got aged 3 years by a ghost bat who failed to provide any further problems. My apologies, but it shouldn't cause us too much trouble.

Orbic, thanks for the L-Bolt. It really helps. I've been spamming it all game to ensure I last long enough to stay in.:D

Found some arrows, and some unknown scrolls and potions. Haven't guessed them yet.

New Book: Darkness! This worked wonders when I found a fire vortex all of 200 turns later.
New Wand: Light
Wooden shield
Sling

Polearms L3

Level 10: Boosted Cooking (it's now +1, so I stopped), Music, FP

I found a tension room and a down stair so close together, so I bolted a few ogres and descended the moment my PP ran out. Then I spent the last few turns
restoring my PP and closed out successfully. :D

6003 steps. Sorry about that, but that was during a w5.

Dark orc corpses sometimes give strength increases - be sure to chew on that, ElectricalFire. Darkness is gonna make us a lot safer - only really trolls and orcs can fight back in it.

Y'know, there's one thing I hadn't considered when drawing up this challenge, and that's competition between the leagues. I really want our hurthling to do better than the other leagues (particularly Water, who are looking quite strong right now). Which of course counters against the desire to screw up things for other players in the group. I think when the first two rounds are done I'll still want to play constructively rather than competitively so that we can make our PC the best of the lot :)

Time for competition when only 2 of us (of you ;)) are left... until then I'll try and help as well.

We'll see what happens.

I also agree with the constructive concept within the leagues.

All right guys, we've gotta keep our girl ahead of that Eunice bitch. I mean really, she's got Ap 9 and we have Ap 12 - there's no way we can let ourselves lose to that ugly skank! So what have they got that we don't? More spells, better armour, better weapon, more ammo... Okay, damn, not good. We need plans!

Firstly, we need to rely heavily on darkness to survive. Our PV is too low to take hits in melee. With darkness we're safe. This is especially important for threat or tension rooms (though don't stand in the doorway) and vortexes. Rocks also help weaken monsters up before they get to us - we need more, as many as we can find. Hopefully we can find a decent melee weapon at some point too - farm all orcs and orc scorchers for knives and spears.

On top of this though we could do with more shield skills. Without much PV we can at least maximise our evasion rate. Against weak monsters it might be an idea to let them have an easily blocked shot or two on aggressive tactics to get the skill up a little. Max level of shield skill we can get is only 3 at the mo, but that'd be an extra 4 DV on top of what we have.

We could do with straining strength and mana more. Dunno if we have any spellbooks left for book-casting to train Mana, but if not then cure disease and neutralize poison cast normally will still train it up a bit.

I think it's also important that we don't descend too quickly. Take it slow - go down only 1 or 2 levels if you can. Rushing further down means missing more items and running into harder monsters. Slow and steady we can take this easy, and gradually build up a longer-living character. Remember also that prayers can be used to get us out of most tricky situations - it can restore both health and PP. It's not good to rely on them too much since the more you use them the higher they cost, but it's better to use it than to die. And of course after using a prayer make your best effort to restore piety with the holy symbol - in fact everyone should be using this instead of regular resting for HP or PP recovery.

Other suggestions are welcome here. Go team Fire!

given fact that electricalflare waslast seen 9 days ago, we may discuss what to do after 72hours?

put him lower in order or bump out of league.

Grey
05-20-2008, 01:18 PM
For the first round we'd allow him to be dumped down to last place, but after that a lack of response will have to result in him being left out. Still 2 days left though, so hopefully he'll show up.

well, i downloaded potantialy mine savefile and put it, adom and dosbox on flash drive so hopefullly i won't force everyone wait to much

Grey
05-21-2008, 11:43 PM
Don't worry about that Soirana, waiting isn't an issue. On a related note I've messaged ElectricalFire to say he has 24 hours to play, otherwise he'll be bumped to the back of the queue. Thus you're quite likely to get a chance to play tomorrow, if that's possible.

And god damn it, those Water buggers are getting a fair bit stronger than us now. But we will prevail! Our flames will not be quenched! The league of water shall be thoroughly evaporated!

Soirana, you may now take over ElectricalFire's place - he'll be bumped down to the bottom of the list.

First - I do not understand all bubbling about one league's hurthling being better than others. If that could ever matter...
Second - I have never even been cooperative player. None of you considered any serious strategies so I played the way i like it.

I started with dropping all extra stuff, because least i wanna to do is run into problems while bloated and strained!. I also made a good use off dark orc corpse (+1St), read all the books (sorry for bookcasted darkness fans, but I prefer spell memory and not book lost to acid trap.)

I wandered around a bit until i opened door to one of rooms. I got assaulted by quickling and fire lizard. One breath of fire managed to took away - some arrows (i wouldn't cry over them), potion of extra healing (sniff!), +2 hat (at least there was +1cap to replace) and a harp [bye bye pets]. I also ended having hitpoints in single digits. Quite unluckily. Well, lightning bolt and some waiting with holy simbol in hand helped to recover.

Rest of ID10 was uneventful [i found [+0,+0] leather armor:(] except for mithril shield. While waiting on down staircase playing with holy symbol and regaining some health black wizard popped in. Well some lightning bolts and bashing with spear made sure he and his minions are dead. As true hurthling i cooked remains of foes and grabbed spellbook of the wizard [or rather one of giant's rats?]. At least we got some healing power.

note: I've used holy symbol over 400 times so piety should be a bit up.

Whats the time limit for no activity turn bumping? 72 hours or 48? Just ask cos Kingsdragon seems less active than other members of these fora. By asking this now, I am hoping to harness Sod's law and thus have him appear magically to simulpost his update to this thread whilst I am typing...

Grey
05-23-2008, 01:57 PM
Stating that you're invocating Sod's law automatically discounts it... The turn limit is 72 hours, so he has a couple of days left. I know he's not too active so I sent him a message reminding him of his turn already - hopefully he'll show up soon. Otherwise you can take the reins.

Yeah, but I was hoping that was sufficiently obvious for it to kick in anyway, like a double dare or something...

Come on Kingsdragon, its the weekend, take us someplace

Grey
05-24-2008, 06:09 PM
Ah, I can't wait any longer... Hopefully Kingsdragon will show up later, but since you're infinitely more active please go ahead and take up your turn now, vogonpoet.

Kingsdragon and ElectricalFire have both been sent private messages, so if neither shows up before Tuesday we'll have to loop round without them.

Damn I can't believe it. I killed myself.
Underestimated by one the range of our Divine Wrath
whilst Hochi was in a bit of a Doppelganger Lord
situation. I am the weakest link. Just ridiculously
careless.

Next player - warning, the reason the level is so quiet is
because at the end of a long corridor lies a room full of
DLs. I was carefully avoiding engaging them in face to
face combat, but three of them panicked and I had to
enter the room and chase after them. As I hunted the
final one down, I was having to dance around to get him
in the line of fire, and in the end, managed to fail to count
successfully to 10.

Hochi, the hurthling priest, executed herself with a lightning bolt.
She scored 16987 points and advanced to level 12.
She survived for 0 years, 4 days, 10 hours, 34 minutes and 30 seconds (8389
turns).

The following monsters were vanquished:
23 doppleganger lords // I particularly like how all the 'gangers died just
// before I managed to top myself. Way to go vp.




So I gained a level whilst zapping the DLs, and lasted for all of 389 turns.
Just pretend I was never here *shame*

League of Fire in invincible! Nothing can harm our character! We will never die ever!!

Seriously man... what the hell?! And brought down to exactly zero... I think you've got a very good chance at the dumbest death prize now.

I'm giving Kingsdragon and ElectricalFire until Tuesday to post, otherwise they're out. If that's the case we're down to 4 players after just one round - man...

vogonpoet
05-25-2008, 04:28 PM
Yeah, I wouldn't have minded being 0wn3ed by a room full of doppelganger lords, I mean, that can be dangerous, but to kill myself on the rebound on the same turn I took the last of the bastards out, and to die on exactly 0 HP... *shakes head*

As a bit of pre-hype before I take Hochi into the second round (which will likely be after my exam this afternoon) I thought it best to review our character and jog everyone's memories about how awesome she is. In spite of what Soirana said about having no care for cooperative tactics he actually left her in an excellent position. The good points:

-plenty of food
-good St
-lightning bolt, cure serious wounds, darkness, cure sickness and neutralize poison spells
-decent amount of piety (only 1 prayer used so far, unfortunately by me)
-decent weapon skills
-good shield

Alas we have pretty dire equipment and low PV, and our music instrument is gone, but hopefully Treasure Hunter will reward us well with good finds. A mixture of meleeing in the dark, throwing rocks and lightning bolt should keep us safe (though the latter two should be used sparingly). Only about 20% of enemies can fight back in the dark, and of those only great blue wyrms, diamond golems and eternium golems are shock resistant - we can run away if one of those pops up.

Prayers should be a last resort, since their costs increase as we use them and thus they'll get to a point where it's impossible to restore piety high enough with the holy symbol to pray again. CSW and darkness should both let us escape any terifying danger. Hopefully we'll find more useful spells like teleport and invisibility too, not to mention more offensive spellbooks.

Water league may look like they're ahead, but they have 3 extra turns above us. And we're easily better off than the pitiful Air and Earth leagues. If we proceed cautiously and carefully without diving too quickly we can build a very strong character - at least before she gets torn to pieces after competitive tactics are allowed.

On the coming turn I'll likely attain level 12 and have to start off the next talent tree. Any suggestions on what's best? I'm leaning towards missile talents, in the especial hope that we find a bow or lots more rocks. We need to get archery much higher to open up the best ones though.

Soirana
05-27-2008, 01:21 PM
talents:
tough to say - realistically it is doubtfull to reach lv15 so next one might be last as well.
It is definetely to late for pv line. I'd say go for some speed options.

Orbic
05-27-2008, 02:24 PM
As we seem to be approaching our doom, I second Soirana - pick whatever you like, we are unlikely to need it...
Careful might help for an immediate bonus, as well as throwing enhancement.
Good luck!

Grey
05-27-2008, 06:43 PM
Here we go...

Started off rechecking everything and dropping some junk (2 wooden shields for instance). Started exploring... Found a robe with +1 PV - hurrah! - and a cursed silver wand. Cooked a large bat's corpse and found a Carpe Diem scroll (likely identify - we have 2 now). Found 4 brown quarrels - evidently slaying, but we have no crossbow. Killed a spider and used Neutralize + Cure spells to recover - unfortunately no corpse.

8234 and I find a room full of doppelganger lords. Well, we have lightning bolt, but not that many castings. I decide to lure them into the longer corridor and melee them in darkness. Hmm, well, maybe not the best of ideas I find out when the first one berserks and takes me down to 16 HP... I heal up and try again and then really give up on the idea - time to exert some Divine Wrath.

8850 and I'd cleaned up all 23 doppelganger lords. I tried to be as conservative with the lightning bolt spell as possible using bouncing walls but I'm afraid a fair amount of castings were used up. I hope we find more spellbooks soon. Level 12, chose Good Shot, maxed out Food Pres and put some points in Music in case we get another instrument. Cooked their corpses and lugged them round for strained status to hopefully get St up to 17.

9063, polearms up to level 6, and I run into a bunch of kobold shamans - obviously a black wizard is about, and wants to keep me well fed :D But hmm, he summons ghost bats and eyes of destruction - not good. Metal cap gets annihilated, and these buggers seem to like to shrug off bolts. Lured them into my previously made dark patch and dispose of them easily. Killed the wizard and his summons and picked up a couple of potions and slings. Shields level 3. Annoyingly I saw a book at one point, but it's disappeared - either something picked it up and ran into hiding, or my divine wrath accidentally fried it. Kobold corpse I saw drop to the ground also disappeared - presumably rotten.

Hunting around for that spellbook and I run into a lightning vortex - darkness to the rescue! Then ran into a ratling fencer, and an ogre magus. Had to use lightning bolt to take him down - he left a corpse but it had no effect :( Another +1 Ma shortly after from general training.

Still haven't found the stairs - search around and it turns out there's a hidden door in an unlikely spot where those doppelganger lords laired. Opened it up, went up the corridor and found a room full of claw bugs. Well, they left some corpses and I decided it's best to eat them to get Dex a little higher. Wi now 16 and Dx now 19. There's was a fourth corpse I left off because I didn't want us totally stripped. Dropped some stuff and we're still at burdened - this is only because of food at the moment, we have so many cooked corpses. No point worrying about higher satiation rate from too much food, eh? If we need to run from something we can drop it.

9907, time to descend briefly to the next level. I12 yielded 4 more rocks. A yellow ooze forced me to cast another Lightning Bolt - we're getting quite low now (normal attacks couldn't overcome its regen). Doppelganger dropped a new scroll, and I spent my last turns using the holy symbol whilst HP recovered. I have no idea what's left on the level.

Summary:
-descened one level
-gained some miscellaneous items, including a couple of slings
-advanced to level 12 and killed lots of critters
-used up a *lot* of lightning bolt, mostly on the doppelganger lords
-+3 Dx, +2 Ma, -6 Wi
-xp is double what it was before! Not too far from L13.
-no known threats on new level

Why not? I'll see what I meet. Let's start, I have a little bit of time now.

Dead :(
Here's the summary of my poor actions.

10087
Already had to bolt+stone a master swordsman too fast for us, he dropped a studded leather armor.
(-1,0)+2,+3 wow! a keeper.


Assassin stoned.
10143 Room of wolves and werewolf inside... let's see if we can nail them to the walls with this orcish tool of ours.
10197 Was good until this outlaw leader came to disturb me in my task, had to heal with a spell.
10289 Critical hit by dire wolf damages the armour and what's under, 10HP left.
Retreat and cast darkness. Found a copper amulet.
Polearms level 5.
Fighting in the dark for a while, more wolves.
Bah, empty room :(

Found a -2,+2 leather armour. discarded.

10557 Stairs down, and the level seems done. Let's go!
10573 Blessed electrum ring, as a hurtling I have t try in on. Sorry, impossible to resist this urge.
10574 Cursed ring of the fish now in place. Sorry!
10580 I sense a certain tension...
10561 I healed a skeletal warrior until it crumpled on the ground.
10673 uncursed blue amulet. Looks better than the copper one so I keep it on.
10717 surprised and paralized at first hit by a ghul. down to 35HP and back to life. Blue alumet is NOT of free action :)

Good run Orbic, shame about the death. Down to 3 now - getting tense :) We're the first to reach this few before the Chaos Gate opens in fact, though that's partly because we were 2 men short off the bat.

Turn Debriefing. Frost Bolt book found
Mithril Girdle [+0/+3] found!
Silver = wand of cold

Close call: A revenant who was faster than our burdened asses. He really put the boots to me too. After cowarding and letting him and his poison drop me to below 1/3 HP, I descended and healed up


dropped:
some giant rat corpses
some rocks


I13

opal ring found
Bless

Another close call: Dark Orc- 15/80

Read out: Frost Bolt
two giant rat corpses, cooked to perfection
Level 13 acquired! (Boosted: First Aid, to 93)
Descending after finding my third giant rat corpse.
Cure Light wounds found, reading out Bless since unless we strengthen up we can only carry so many things

I14

This one was almost a disaster.

3x Carpe Diem, reading one (Uncursing)
Used: 4 !Healing (clay golem and low PP, not enough for that river)
One prayer after finding a dwarven chaos knight and being boxed in by rat summons

Forced to descend lest I get eaten by that dwarven chaos knight

I15

Using the remainder of my turns to heal up and use the holy symbol. This restores enough piety to use our class powers.

The Arena Grandmaster yawns stiffly. "This is far too boring. We need more blood!" He stands up from his throne and yells out, "OPEN THE GATE!"

You feel a distant trembling beneath your feet. Far below great drums are banged on as a horde of ogres struggles to force open the gates of chaos. Sweat drips from their bodies as they tug on thick chains attached to huge steel levers. Finally the gates are cranked open, and the army of ogres whoop in delight as blazing chaotic energies escape from their prison.

A sudden burning desire roars within you, hot and proud thoughts filling your mind. Ideas arise of strengthening yourself at the expense of others, and your muscles clench as you contemplate reducing your opponents to ash by the flame of your ambition.

The Arena Grandmaster shouts out, "League of Fire! The Chaos Gate is now open! All competitive tactics are now allowed! Rend each other to shreds for our amusement!"

Hmm, so will I choose the path of light or darkness...? I think, overall, I'll choose the Grey path... :P

14000 - start off refamiliarising myself with char. IDed the armour and weapons and dropped useless junk. Also dropped claw bug corpse - I think our Wi has taken enough of a hit already and 19 Dx is fine. Blessed myself a couple of times and used cure light wounds to use up some PP whilst praying in darkness.
14124 - I attack to the right, presuming that's where the ogre magus lies. Slightly wound something before it runs away - zapped frost bolt a couple of times and killed it (:k shows it was the intended target). Picked up 6 rocks.
14168 - explore more. Stoned a grey ooze and found some more ogres to play with. Killed outside darkness for shield marks. Get a fuckload more rocks. Found blessed ID scroll and another ogre corpse (but still bloated).
14390 - ratling warrior drops another ring of damage, replaced aquamarine ring with this. Down to satiated but ogre corpse gives no St. Start milking jackalwere - got corrupted with unnatural vigor, woo!
14688 - meet a doppelganger, and since I hear casting spells whilst confused trains Wi I decide to abuse this - got him in a safe corridor and kept Blessing myself whilst confused (thus training it more and having more stacked blessings to boot). Ended the fun when a lightning vortex showed up. Killing it in Darkness brings us to level 14 - 2xArchery and 2xFirst Aid (maxed).
14865 - cooked corpses behind a door, and when I came out the place was filled with red worms. Fucktastic. Looks like a big bunch of them were summoned by a black wizard, and they all duplicated from there. Used a couple of frost bolts then switched to Darkness + melee. Polearms level 6.
15004 - managed to get out of there, and with 2 extra ogre corpses, but eating them all gave no increase. Also found a glass amulet (light) and a cursed tower shield. Decided not to equip the shield - [+7, +0] vs [+5, +1] when we're low on PV and haven't maxed our shield skill yet. Found more rocks - we have 36 now.
15168 - ran into a dark elven priestess and realised she can see in darkness - shit. Very touch and go moment when she paralyzed me, but I'd blessed myself just before and I think the extra PV might have saved my life. Used frost bolt to panic her and finished her off with rocks (the bolts kept getting shrugged). Cooked a large spider corpse - not sure if we had poison resistance yet, but we do now.
15308 - stone golem. Pants. Able to hurt it, but it hurts a lot more. With some spamming of Cure Serious Wounds I brought him down. He dropped more rocks and a mithril battle axe - 1d6+8 is nice, but we could do with the spear DV more right now. Still, it's worth training a bit.
15433 - dark elven wizard, geez. Shield level 5 fighting through the spiders, thus now maxed. Found some holy water. Found another CLW spellbook - handy for book-casting. Dropped our stone club - not needed with the mithril axe. Trained the axe a little in darkness. Found more rocks and a mithril warhammer.
15681 - finished exploring the level, ate a fire beetle corpse, found more arrows. Leather armour [+2, +2]. Shit, realise I don't have many steps left to get to the stairs - run! Lightning vortex gets in my way, ffs! Kill it in darkness and manage to make it to the stairs with just 10 turns left! Damn, that was too close... Descend and killed a king cobra - got poisoned by it, but had to save. One cast of Neutralize and you'll be fine, deepshock.

Killed Monsters

595 monsters perished under her attacks.

Note we're on strained! with way more food than we need - I was hoping St might train a little, but I don't think it will overall. Might want to dump some stuff. I used some castings of various spells, but tried to stick to melee and rocks overall. Rocks should be our primary offense to be honest. Not far from level 15 - missile talents are definitely the way to go. We should try and bookcast CLW a lot for healing since it'll train mana and not use up our reserves (and since the book is cursed reading it normally won't give us much spell knowledge). We also have a holy water and 3 uncursed water - use wisely.

Another successful round.
Used some chaos tactics, such as:


read out both spellbooks
blessed a potion of rust removal
drank a potion of mana (Ma: 17)
fought a cave lizard tension room
descended a lot more quickly than normal
Read out a normal Web spellbook
Used a ? of identify
Cast out Divine Wrath
Threw conservation to the wind in general, playing as if I was playing a solo game.
Used 2 prayers (not wasted, but out of necessity. I was being chased by another revenant. Finding him was the chaos part) . Now the ground rumbles.

Normal actions:

dropped zero-zero clothes
Ate a blessed troll corpse, adding to our HP regen
Killed a skeletal warrior :D
Natural Ma +1 (Ma: 18)
Bone Helmet acquired
Killed a hill giant chieftain
Acquired a pick axe
Killed the Revenant that's been Yakkety-saxing me for 300 turns via bless whoring
Mapped out L21 using the rest of my turns
We are within sniffing distance of Level 15.

That's a mimic shop in that level. Please be careful.

My apologies. It took a while to prepare my report. You're good to go now.

That's a mimic shop in that level. Please be careful. Feel free to create danger for US though. I know that information is in another page, but I didn;'t want it to be missed.

Dark light glowed in Soirana's eyes. It was definetely time to stop being gentle and nice. Chaos was so inviting, it already gave some healing power. But dark can only ruled by one.


My turn was quite fast, safe, boring and uneventful

I started by equiping amulet of light just to see down stairs.

When walked a bit over, but mimics obviously stopped monster generation. I did landed one frost bolt of them to gain lv15 (choose quick).

i retereated to previously dark room, closed door and spend rest of 2000 turns while sorting through equipment.

I think you will notice something lacking. Especially in food department. And speaking of spell department... well someone of remaining oponents was definetely heavily relying on offensive spells:) No more be asured.

And i didn't use holy symbol at all, 'cause chaos doesn't count on prayers.

i still think char has everything to progress further. probably next time i should not be what gentle.

i skipped screenshot since very is nothing of interest.

And if you are not hungry yet, rest asured that won't last long.

deepshock, you have opened Pandora's Box, and from here on there can only be a downward spiral of chaos and destruction. So the question you should now be asking yourself is, do you feel lucky, punk...? Let's get this party started...

20001 - I note a few things missing, such as all of our food and offensive spells. Excellent - time for a bit of fun :D
Spider drops a loaf of dwarven bread - tough luck, Soirana, you can't screw me over that easy. Besides, believe me when I say I can do a lot worse than you did.
Chaos sister dropped some cursed mithril boots - uncursed and equipped. Milked a black wizard for some summons which dropped corpses. Nice touch on getting rid of the cooking equipment Soirana - but you didn't note it in your report. I'll remind you, no withholding information.
500 turns in and I have loads of food, a girdle of carrying. And then... I run into a vampire. Shit. St and To get drained, armour gets damaged. After some effort with bless spell it finally falls, but St is down to 12 and To is down to 10. Hope you enjoy this guys!
Found a blanket of some sort. Also changed armour to some thick furs [+0, +3]. Found a short bow (+1, +1) too.

20837 - descended to I26 when I finally found the stairs. Killed a dwarf for his pick axe. Down stairs found quickly enough - descended. Wakened a stone giant with a pick axe - couldn't hurt him so I ran away in darkness and descended again. Same thing happens on the next level so I dive down to I29. Found the next stairs whilst being chased by a crystal statue - descended. Oh, and look, the stairs to I31 are right nearby - down we go! My, we are getting deep now, aren't we?

21397 - found black gauntlets that give us [+2, +2] - nice. I wonder if we should keep them..... Haha, well I figure my survival is important for right now at least. Continue on - found a diamond golem and ran away. Ran into a water demon that gave a bit of trouble berserking in darkness, but I took him down. Down to I32...

Found a doppelganger king. Ran from him, got cornered, then used darkness and attacked him. He got away, and I failed to realise the turn counter going over 22000 whilst chasing him. Logged and saved. God damn it, I never got a chance to screw anything up! Anyway, log file:

It's over. Guys, do the Fire league proud.

Averted another crisis via Darkness and judicious use of one of our two pick axes. A doppleganger king, gargoyle, gray slayer and goblin chieftain in I32.

Descending

I have also healed Hochi's piety via the holy symbol. It's not comfortable yet.

Found:

Mithril ring
Cursed muddy potion

Had to use the River Rule once (I 33)


At the end, an already-awakened mimic hivemind finished the job.

The death star was shining ever since the gate opened. It had to be quickened, even at my expense, or who knows what further damage could have been done. By calling it upon myself, I have quickened the end of this bloodsport. Do not worry for me. At the end, you will know why I accepted the Death Star.

Honestly i do not care neither for who gets better place in league of Mana (which place is best anyway?), nor about interleague challenge.
So we can stop here with me being second or continue towards the Scepter.

anyway my turn: 32 - i saw things like fire giant king, frost giant and also met something who hit me continously hard in the darkness. Used off booze for wand of cold to get rid off some problems. Apparently somewhere in process i elimnated dopleganger king since he is on kill list (that sounds nice even for regular game). Honestly i darkened over two thirds of level. Also got some ST increase. Almost forget:) we have teleport control since i've found blink dog corpse in the corridor.
33- i run from karmic dragon like scared girl, evaded tension room (probably mixed due to some vind sounds), got helmet destroyed by breath of dragon, found some very nice leather boots.
34 - i tried eating in the dark and suddenly i am engulfed in piercing needles, dropping down to 3hp (very close call), also finished off black slayer. Get more ST and a point of TO.
35 - river lucklily stairs are close, spent less than 12 turns here.
36- managed to read tract of chaos (didn't pay atention to weight) so we are uncomfortable again, also landed my ass in very very tricky condition. I was actually traped next too doors with master swordsman on door square (who eventfully took our mithril axe) and master assassin (apparently seeing in dark).
I will spare details of fight (as how i broke last pickaxe, managed to stun myself and how many times i casted cure serious wounds from hit points). Axe is gone, master assassin escaped in terror and someone killed in dark dropped +3 gloves. Somewhere near stairs down i've got book of divine wrath and this time i kept it so girl is getting back into form.

You can really expect loosing some mana, sorry.

Honestly i do not care neither for who gets better place in league of Mana (which place is best anyway?), nor about interleague challenge.
So we can stop here with me being second or continue towards the Scepter.

I really don't care either, other than the fun of the challenge. My taunts were not meant seriously :P

Sounds like you had quite an exciting turn. We'll see how well I can do next... Darkness really is our best friend right now. Got an exam soon so I likely won't be playing for at least 12 hours.

Okay, let's see if I can survive...

24032 - first door I came across exploded upon attempting to open (not kicking) and took out our holy symbol, tower shield, orcish spear, and some arrows. Good start... I equip the backup spear and change the girdle of carrying for the 3 PV girdle since St can train more. I then decided to kick the door down in revenge.... revealing a room full of ancient black dragons. I cast darkness of course, but since one has moved into the door square it can still see, and it decides to hit me 4 times and breath acid on me, bringing me down to -118 HP.

Hochi, the hurthling priest, was dissolved by an ancient black dragon on I37.
She scored 65983 points and advanced to level 16 (139270 xps).
She survived for 24069 turns (pathetic).

Watch out for locked doors, Soirana...

And wipe that bloody smirk of your face, gut ;)

In a move that surprises no one, another Fire League'er suicides! : D

i37- open and close door to ancient black dragons, stealth really helps. Drop stuff and kick through runes on traped door. -1MA+1Ap due to mud bath
i38-tension--yet another mimic shop , get a look at diamond golem, get away on 1/3 hp movement discount
i39-chaos warior, leave it in darkness, found ring of regeneration. meet chaos warior again and this time get critically hit few times by what appeared to be an ancient minotaur.

RIP Hochi.

Well done on getting so far, Soirana, but I guess death was inevitable after our mad dives. You are now crowned Champion of Fire, and I am runner up - we shall both ascend to the League of Mana. And I personally think there's no shame in our deaths - diving through over 20 ID levels in that space of time is quite impressive, even is it was ultimately ill-fated.

I had a dream. A dream in which the Fire League was extinguished from
existance. It seems as though my dreams have come true! No longer
shall the righteous Water League, be compelled to suffer the pollutant
influence of the Fire League upon this world. They have been washed
away, the land purified once more. In the end, the Fire League shall
be remembered, not as a powerful burning force, but instead as nothing
more than an elemental misery.

But there is a shroud across your dream, a smoky haze that disturbs your happiness. Too late you realise the the smoke is from a blazing inferno behind you, ready to consume you utterly. Have you forgotten that our ashes still have some burning embers left within? The League of Mana shall be the final battleground, and Fire shall prove its supremacy.
