If nothing else, it makes a difference between inventory destruction and getting bolted/summons. The former has been used to good effect in this tournament. That latter is... trickier to make use of.

Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

Summons might be useful if you are already facing a really really tough monster.Originally Posted by JellySlayer
Must be really really tough of course, since god summons really tough monsters.
EDIT: And this is my 500st post
Not that it matters.
Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

Right, playing my turn now, give me a second to get things set up.
20000: Get rid of our cursed bottle of booze. Equip armour and weapon and shield.
20005: Begin exploring.
20010: Pick up a slender tome.
20100: Fight some zombies, pick up various foodstuffs.
20500: Descend to I:17.
20700: Lose oil of rust removal to a fire attack. Shields reaches level 6.
21000: Find a longbow and arrows. Equip.
21100: Drink a few unidentified potions. They're cursed potions of potential dex and toughness, whoops.
21600: Read slender tome. It's cure light wounds. Spend some time casting from book.
21750: An unseen monster summons a horde of berserker lords. I descend the stairs to I18.
21850: You sense a certain tension.
22000: w5 in starting room till end.
Basically, you've got more food, a longbow, you're wearing armour, and now we know Cure Light Wounds.
If there's anything else, it'll be on the replay (that's a disclaimer for if you wanted to know, say, the exact layout of a certain level, not 'I did some secret stuff, lol, it's on the replay').

Well... situation is rather dire now.
22000: drop junk (including cursed weapons), locate stairs, mimic shop
22342: descend; hit by ghost (+3 age)
22366: kill ghost with CLW
22391: invoke river rule
22527: kill dudes, locate stairs
22630: find large group of silver and dire wolves, kill until get ration and descend
22801: kill hob chief for girdle of str (+2), gob chief for unid scroll
22898: kill ochre jelly
23000: find multiple steel zombies in room... does not look fun; read unID scroll: defense
23222: lure one zombie out, attempt to kill with little success.
23850: rest of level is fully explored and has no monster generation
Threat room is of course the unexplored room in the NE. One steel zombie has been lured out and is still 'alive' somewhere between that room and the PC.Code:------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Screenshot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ############ #######. #...........# #.$.../. ######### #...........###################.#####. #...../.# #.........../...//./............# #.....#.# #...........##################### #.....#.# #...........# #.....#.###...........####################################### #.....#...#...........+.....................................# #########.#################################################.############### #...# #...#...........# #######.#.### ###.#...........# #...../.#...# #.#...........# #...<.#####.#################################################.#...........# #.....# #.....................@............................./...........# ####### ################################################################# Columbo St:22 Le:11 Wi:15 Dx:14 To:15 Ch:15 Ap:15 Ma:17 Pe:10 N= DV/PV: 68/9 H: 98(98) P: 52(52) Exp: 12/70580 I20 M: 24000 Coward ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cure Light Wounds: 21, 8pp (Effectivity: +2) Light : 26, 4pp (Effectivity: +5) Slow Poison : 24, 10pp (Effectivity: +1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total weight: 1667 stones Carrying capacity: 2700 stones Head : hat [+0, +2] [4s] Neck : - Body : cursed elven chain mail [+1, +5] [10s] Girdle : girdle of strength [+0, +0] {St+2} [15s] Cloak : - Right Hand : cursed orcish spear (+1, 1d8+2) [75s] Left Hand : cursed large mithril shield (-1) [+7, +2] [96s] Right Ring : - Left Ring : - Bracers : - Gauntlets : - Boots : - Missile weapon: cursed long bow (+2, +2) [30s] Missiles : bundle of 13 arrows (+0, 1d6-1) [26s] Tool : - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- studded leather armor [250s] chain mail [400s] crude knife [10s] long sword [40s] long bow [30s] spellbook of Cure Light Wounds [100s] // status unknown; rest of inventory (except for one key) is cursed from two turns ago.

Hah, very nice situation! Getting through could well be quite a trial... Save is restored on the server for meh to take his turn. Good luck!

I'm starting soon. That unidentified wand could be our only hope.
The wand was a wand of darkness, which I wasted. I studied our spellbook a bit, and got teleported. I guessed correctly where the stair room would be, so first challenge completed.
Going down on turn 24274. An exploding door destroys our girdle and some other stuff, but I find the next staircase behind it. A river with a powerful rockthrower on the other side means I'll have to go down again. I'll wait a while first to heal.
+1 Mana on the next level from bookcasting CLW. I used up our one casting of darkness. We're out of food, so I'm going down to I23 in turn 25183.
25470 going down again, since I don't want to fight a troll berserker.
A blink dog summons twice, but no food. I drink all our potions out of desperation and finally get more summons. I get one corpse just before the end of the turn, which I didn't eat yet.
There's a dark room to the west that I didn't dare enter. I found a couple of items, the most interesting being an unidentified wand. The vibrating ring is probably fish (it glowed when I put it on).

Very nice. Anticipating the save coming back to me (and getting abyssed), that was the only solution I could come up with.
Ancient Member
How did you do that?
I am taking my turn... later, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after that. We'll see.
Wheres the savegame?
Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

I've definitely been away from ADOM too long.
