i know its bad.... but i was pretty strong for that part of the game and it was my second corruption. So if I wanted i could just go to HMV and read that SoCR uncursed and it would go away, mantaining the teleportitis.
I learned this time. Today i got a gnomish necro to lvl 21, and i was reaaly being careful to get everything right this time and then i noticed why i shouldnt play adom at 3 in the morning...
I was permainvisible and i had the last arena fight to go, but i forgot that i had to clean the ogre cave first...so I killed Li-Hon-Kay an then realized that I was going to have to do another monster slaying quest. That was fine. I was expecting to get rolfs shield 'cause i was playing a lawful necro for the part of the game I didn't use necromancy (but ultimately going for a normal chaos god ending). The RNG didnt give me the shield... ok... we move on. Then thundarr asks me to slay a cave lion...??. I was so damn pissed!!! Hadnt killed any cats so far.
Tried to kill it with a slave but it doesn't count. Found another and killed it... I was already thinking about throwing the game away... i'm a bit of a perfecctionist i guess...lol... terrible trait to have when playing adom.
But fiiiiine... let's kill the demon. I don't think i ever found such a strong demon before. the rng really fucked my PC up... got drained for 3 To and 6 Le.... was already extra pissed with everything... and decided to throw my game away.
And then IRONY strikes.... the demon droppep a blue amulet. I looked at that and thought to myself... "it would be dead cruel for this amulet to be an AoLS" .even if i'm not going for an ultra it's still a damn useful amulet. Identified it and there it was.... the second time ever i got an aols in a normal game course (not wished for or scummed in the ID).
But i was just too pissed with myself and the RNG to continue with the character. So yeah... i killed it.
And by the way... have anybody here tried to sacrifice yourself to your god? I was trying to convert an altar earlier and got rid of every last bit of equipment I had... forgot to pick up the money and 'O'ffered at the altar. The game asked me if I wanted to sacrifice myself. Is it really possible? If so... it's a very stylish way to die when you just have no place to escape in a leve with altars.
If you want a REALLY stylish death... sacrifice yourself while wearing an AoLS.
The greater daemon in Dwarftown is probably best just to sacrifice at the altar--although, you were chaotic, so that isn't really any help to you (although, if you drop your gear, you *probably* could still safely sacrifice him... at worst you'd convert the altar and get the entire town hostile though).
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
