The Ladder of cHaOs Challenge Thread

[zsomkovacs]

Survived, so I won. Level layout was too strange for me... I don't remember seeing any level slain into two pieces with a horizontal corridor in the middle, with two rooms on the right side... There's usually a secret door on the bottom of the second room in a layout like this. Now the door was on the upper side of the room, but still good. It led me directly to the stairs. With lightning vortex. But luckily we had a potion of invisibility. Descended. I spent the remaining time standing on the stairs. When I got starving, I prayed. No monsters appeared. Turn 8000. It's over. I won.

Will post the screenshot as soon as I got home.

It was a good duel, Ilsekko, I really enjoyed it. Better luck next time!

[zsomkovacs]

And now, gekko, I challange you.

Jellyslayer, could you generate a new char for us? I'm pretty sure he'll accept the challenge. And then, gekko, you start. Good luck!

The d is a jackal (thought I killed them off), % is jackal corpses, except the one to the left which is a doppelganger corpse. [ is our old leather hat [+0,+0]. The leftmost room is locked and we don't have the key for it. The two other doors I didn't try.

2003- descend to I6
2250- nothing exciting on this level, descend to I7. Find a white potion
2270- got poisoned by a dark elf warrior, using first aid to cure it.
2336- Rust Monster spotted. rusts the vibrating ring. killed it with a couple of sling shots.
2393- find a hexagonal key

2480- find a metal cap, ID-wear it, [+0,+1]
2547- a Large Orc dropped a blanket, picked it up.
2573- a locked door we don't have a key for.
2800- Jackalwere. Back to the corridor to fight them off.
2828- lvl 9. Find Weakness x 2, Stealth. Healthy Talent (as we doesn't have any means to get the Healing skill, at least yet). "Your Health increases. You feel more in touch with the world."
2840- killed the Jackalwere.
2953- killed the last Jackal (quite big room). 56 jackals killed found some stuff, a spear, light crossbow, 5 rocks, a scroll labeled "KTTdLwrgt". Strained (walked around strained most of the time actually

Good Luck Deg!

[Guru]

[ilsekko]

7008- unhopefully searching for secret doors before giving this f****ng bloody hell of a soft-boned you-know-what the gory end he deserves   
7021- distant wind and slurpings
7058- i can't believe this..secret door (in the opposite place to where i was supposing) 
7067- ate seed and spider bread, still hungry 
7073- distant wind all the time, maybe i should be fighting spiders for hp
7087- closed door at the end of long corridor..getting paranoid about that
7088- should have learned to believe anything by now..untrapped door, stairs on sight, lightning vortex in between
7089- pray, full hp, ground rumbles, vortex approaches..boom! 1 of 2 white potions gone, 8 hp left..this was very intense, believe me
7095- descend right away, can't rest for hp
7109- found "GNAY-GNIY" scroll..i have to test something from inventory 
7120- corruptor ahead..im gonna die soon, might as well do anything possible
7123- IAZNAB was item destruction..foolishly selected gauntlets instead of boots..gnay gniy turns to ash
7124- corruptor next to me, gonna test a potion on what seems to be my last turn
7125- translucent potion is potential will, corruptor misses, still 8 hp, might as well keep on drinking
7128- purple potion is dwarvish mead, light yellow potion gives mana +1, clotted potion is invisibility!
7159- while escaping corruptor, still invisible, had to cross a room with some monsters. potion wear out as im right in the middle
7175- ack..cornered in short corridor. very likely theres a door here, corruptor gets me to 1 single hp while im searching
7176- open door..staircase again! Ha!! 
7179- outrun corruptor in two steps and descend
7184- kill kobold, still 1 hp left
7190- distant wind again..alas
7200- straight corridor with fire vortex. desperate single rock on berserk wipes it out. this guy is really getting me nervous
7244- found 7 rocks. more rocks than hp
7257- stairs found without any other monster showing. descend
7258- feel malevolent disposition
7260- literacy and first aid increase. 3 hp
7265- chaos sister gets next to me as i miss her with rock, didnt manage to outrun her even with the dying coward bonus. fell hungry again
7270- white potion causes a lot of grief! poisoned, 3 hp
7271- grr..light yellow is healing potion, 8hp, sister misses, gonna bash her to death (mine of course)
7275- finally the poison bring this fellow's struggle to an end..morituri te salutant!
