Funny message

[Dudley]

Ah, someone finally appreciates the humor of it. Of course I am aware that monsters when going bat-shit loco can attack themselves. I was unaware that by turning into a lifeless mound of gore, they suddenly look more powerful.

Hum... ever seen a gorgon corpse

Just pause a moment to imagine the AKW going berserk on itself, while invisible for extra XP, then rising from the dead as a lvl 150 Ancient Karmic Wyrm _Lich_. I'd find that totally hilarious. Perhaps even if it happened to me.

All this happened in a single round:

You focus your magical energies to release the spell. Which direction
[89632147, Z = ABORT]?
Grunge, the half-orc bouncer, is hit by the lightning bolt! Grunge, the
half-orc bouncer, grunts in fury! Hotzenplotz, the crime lord, is hit by
the lightning bolt! Hotzenplotz, the crime lord, grunts in fury! Munge, the
half-orc bouncer, is hit by the lightning bolt! Munge, the half-orc
bouncer, grunts in fury! The bolt bounces! Munge, the half-orc bouncer, is hit
by the lightning bolt! [+279xp] Munge, the half-orc bouncer, is killed!
Hotzenplotz, the crime lord, is hit by the lightning bolt! [+865xp]
Hotzenplotz, the crime lord, is killed! Grunge, the half-orc bouncer, is
hit by the lightning bolt! [+318xp] Grunge, the half-orc bouncer, is killed!

All three with a single bounce. Gotta love +15 lightning bolts.

I thought it was funny when monsters panicked and killed themselves, until Hotzenplotz did it. Even though it was a direct result of *MY* attacking him, I couldn't get that damn Tywat Pare to reward me for my quest.

[moomoo]

I get these berserk suicides all the time in library, something about those narrow corridors I guess.

I recently got a message kind of like that in the Griffyard
while grave digging with Fiddlehead the barbarian. A lich
panicked, hit himself, and paralyzed himself. I didn't even
know they had a paralyzing attack, let alone the ability to
paralyze themselves!

Awesome. Was reading that yesterday.

BTW: Have you done any more than page.. 35? The other pages just have blank images with no text so..

[Laukku]

The most funny variation of this bug IMO is "The doppelganger suddenly looks like the doppelganger! The doppelganger seems to be confused." :-)

The PC died to pool sipping, and I'm still too busy/depressed
to put up the final pages.

I'm surprised you got so attached to an exp lvl 18 orc barb. I just shift-q'd my latest (of hundreds) exp lvl 15 dark elven ranger who had the AMW + ankh because of general bad luck and no good weapons. He couldn't touch the steel golems in DF, for instance.

>exp lvl 15 dark elven ranger

> He couldn't touch the steel golems in DF, for instance

Wow. Those are kinda high standards, aren't they?
I don't know of any dark elven melee PC I would
take into DF at exp. level 15. Maybe I'm just too
conservative though, as I would prolly be nervous
about doing the pyramid at that level either : )

It wasn't just the PC, though I did really like this
one, it was the enormous amount of time I had
invested in doing the "Let's play" style format.
It actually works out to about 3 - 4 minutes per
comment, and there are hundreds. To get that
far in, and kill a sure game-winner over something
that isn't even needed is crushing.
