We are still poisoned, 53/80 HPs and 52/67 PPs. Good luck!!
P.S. Sorry about playing slow but the server was terribly slow to me. It had never happened before... Maybe it was because of the spectators load.
EDIT: The gorgon was found 10 dots to the right and 4 dots to the bottom from our current position, more or less.

I'd like to join in, should probably give this a go, but I won't be able to play until about 2200 BST. Play seems to be going pretty fast, so don't hold things up for my sake. If you can find room for me though, that'd be nice.
Loitering with intent to loiter.
Senior Member
Right, I'm ready. Here's hoping...
Okay, I lived. I'll do a brief written description, then a turn by turn summary (in the style of the previous players) below.
I began nervously, as we were poisoned and at fairly low health. After getting used to the character, though, I killed the spiders nearby. A spider corpse dropped, and I decided to eat it. We now have poison resistance.
After fighting a few miscellaneous enemies from the unexplored room to the right, a stone statue came out. I only had 35hp (had a bit of trouble with some tarantulas, still not used to the characters power level in melee, or lack thereof) and decided to run back across the level and recross on the southern stretch of the river.
On doing so, I find not only some rather strong trolls, but a dark elven wizard. Managed to take him out without too much bother, but as one might predict, he'd already left a lot of spiders behind. It was quite a pain mopping those up. Somehow, I got into a bit of a quandry and ended up being chased by spiders, the stone statue, and a quickling, all at low HP. I dashed past the statue and returned to the uppermost ice bridge, where I took out the statue and quickling with castings of frost bolt. I should warn you here, I've been a bit trigger-happy with the spells, but in my defense I've kind of had to be.
Eventually found the stairs tucked away in the mid-right. Descended to I:15 which was quite boring, until I found the stairs at the top-right. Whereupon I feel compelled by the spirit of my ancestors to commit genocide upon the shambling mound population for the reward of experience. After nearly dying, I decide to denounce genocide in all its forms, and descend the stairs again to I:16.
Manage to have a quick wander of I:16 (and gain a level) before it reached M:14000. There's a troll to the left through the door.
12000: I kill the spiders. A corpse drops, and I decide to eat it, as even on the rare chance it doesn't provide poison resistance, we have cure poison potions.
12025: Your throat feels rough and your stomach burns. Poison wears off shortly afterward. I believe we have poison resistance.
12050: Iron amulet from a spider.
12163: A stone statue appears from the unexplored room, making me back off. Decide to run backward and make a second crossing on the bottom of the level.
12229: More frost bolt castings on some pesky trolls (chief and berserkers).
12350: Killed the dark elven wizard who'd been summoning all those spiders.
12400: Get into a bit of a tizz, being chased by many spiders, a stone statue, and a quickling, all at low HP. I eventually recover enough HP and PP to take the statue and quickling out.
12500: Clear the top right room. No gorgon.
12590: Find the down stairs nestled into a room in the mid-left of the map, waited there until I was at full health, then descend to I:15.
12650: Potion of poison near the up-stairs, left it there. No monsters found but I pick up a scroll of CUTME.
12675: Blinded by a door trap, still no monsters found though.
12950 Found the stairs in the top right of the new floor, after tussling with a pair of clawbugs.
13200: Accosted by a pair of shambling mounds coming from the south side of the new room, took them out, suspect there may be a Shambling Mound threat room in the bottom right part of the map.
13250: Hungry. Ate large ration.
13300: Suspicion confirmed. Become involved in pitched Shambling Mound battle of epic proportions. Decide to eradicate the lot of them for philanthropic reasons. Unfortunately, I completely forgot we had fire bolt, frost bolt's sexy jailbait cousin. Needless to say, disaster ensued.
13700: Lucky shambling Mound gets a critical hit in, taking us to 2HP, and destroying our metal cap. Drops an iron ration though, which helps, as we become hungry soon afterward. So I eat it.
13775: Get a peek into the threat room, it's much bigger than I thought. And now they're after me. I have to retreat to the stairs and descend to I:16.
13980: Kill a Wight then a kobold chieftain, reach level 13. I boost swimming, first aid, literacy, and metallurgy (most everything bar swimming and metallurgy were at a 1d3 modifier anyway). Papyrus appeared somewhere.
14000: After continuing left for a few turns, I bumped into a troll berserker and decide to retreat to regain health and PP. I'm fairly sure there are two enemies on the other side of the door to your left (one being the troll), but neither are potentially deadly providing you rest, and are willing to use castings.
Dropped/Consumed/Lost: A sling that we had two of, a potion of poison (couldn't see any use for it), large ration, the metal cap we were wearing.
Picked up: Scroll labelled 'CUTME', iron amulet, various arrows, a few candies.
Misc. Gains: Poison Resistance, Level 13. Polearms skill + 1 (to level 4), Shields Skill + 1 (to level 2), Bow skill + 1 (to level 2), Frost Bolt Effectivity + 1 (15), Burning Hands Effectivity + 1 (14)
Descended: 2 levels (I:16)
Killed (according to the kill list): That gorgon.

Cool, I'm spectating Covenant. We're on I14 and eight players have played, and this thread only started today O_o
EDIT: grabbing the save file...

Yup, we're really motoring. Great fun to watch the different ways people approach things. Uh oh, living dangerously with those shambling mounds - 2hp! Shame we don't have a lightning based spell, or we could have milked those for massive XP.Originally Posted by F50

Was thinking the same myself, but it would have made the game far too easy.

In terms of preserving the challenge I agree it's for the best, it's just difficult to look at that situation and not see the opportunity
e: I just read back through earlier posts and saw this;
I'm using Firefox and the saving files off the server thing works fine for me (using "Save Link As"), so I don't think it's a browser issue, if that's any help.
