      Wahey!!! A whole nights running around dungeons without suffering the YASD curse I've had all week.

      Speaking of curses, an un-id ?, turned out to be curse weapon - DOH!!! It's taken a fair few trips back to town to get ?rem cur, which didn't work, then more trips back to town for ?Ench Dam and ?Ench Hit which were rare as hens teeth, now I have to make more trips to get another ?rem cur to see if it will now work on the "finally" +hit/+dam weapon. There's a couple of interesting special weapons at home which would come in real handy at my current depth, which would lead to a change in ring selection as well.

      Oh, and for the observant the many -ve values on my armour is thanks to Phase Spiders, who phased me into a jelly pit - bastards!!!

        Why not use Nimloth or Nimthanc?

            Try some ordinary enchant scrolls if rCurse is not for sale but they are.

              Doesn't work Eddie.

              That's two times I've been caught out by ?rem curse not getting rid of curses on items that have had the negative values converted to positive values. AFAIC it's a flaw in the game. I do notice that in this latest dump it mentions both cursed and heavily cursed under the item description in my inventory, but the dump from last night only mentions cursed. Something is definately screwy there IMO.

              FWIW I even gave a _rem curse a crack and it failed as well.

              Doesn't matter though as I have suffered a YASD. This time a death quasit smacked me around and a teleportation dropped me next to a Cyclops who cleaned me up.

                Very odd. Probably a bug. I didn't think think that 'normal' weapons could even carry a heavy curse, unless something has changed recently.

                  I swear my wife has something going on with RNG. Everytime she distracts me from the game to have a conversation, or even just talk at me, I end up killed.

                  I was f'n stoked with this character too, made it to 1050' on my first dive, had Eorlingas, was rocking around a superb felling level which I'd !enlightened and found a diagonal vault. Went and chased down new items I hadn't Id'd yet, found Holhenneth and some !CCW so went and had a crack at the vault. Had a -TelOth and a straight corridor, zapping away shit I didn't need to fight so I could access the vault without getting in harms way, then my wife talks at me and instead of quaffing a !CCW I use a _Teleport and fail and the friggen Stone Giant does me in.

                  I swear, about 90% of my deaths are due to my wife.

                    I swear, about 90% of my deaths are due to my wife.
                    I frequently die because of impaired judgment of some kind: exhaustion, drunkenness, distraction etc. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to play if I'm tired or had a beer or my wife is even *home.*

                      Have you guys been married long? I've only been married three years, and I've learned to tune out my wife completely whilst preserving the illusion of listening - well, almost ...

                        Yeah, been married for much longer than that.

                        Tuning out's not the problem, it's when you actually pay attention (after the initial blocking out the noise phase) that you forget what your doing and hit the wrong keys.

                          Golden rules:
                          1. Angband can wait.
                          2. Attending to both at once leads to trouble in both.
                          3. When in doubt, refer to Rule 1.

                            Then again deaths just occur because you don't have enough get of jail cards like this effort tonight.

                            Fire hounds burned all my ?WoR and I was trudging my way back up from 1100', with no ?id, and I'd just tried on a new " which turned out to be cursed Infra, so my "SlowDigest was wasted, and running into orc hordes with no backwards paths except that which leads to a hydra, and only one remaining ?phase. Spewing really, as I'd scored two Resistance items which I hadn't Id'd.

                              What's a source of protection from Sound/Stunning?

                              Was having a quick little run this morning and got smashed up by Vibration Hounds. Wasn't too impressed by my inability to remember to heal myself either.

                              Narthanc was a nice find, with the ability, at the time of finding it, of cracking out about 90+ in damage per round.

                                Fighting a pack of hounds should always be considered optional. I'll do it if I have the proper resist (making it non-inventory/non-life threatening) and I need the XP. A good example is that I'll occasionally fight gravity hounds if I find myself in a good location with good equipment to do so, because they can be worth a lot of XP depending on your CL.

                                Fighting two packs at the same time is probably never worth it. If you are powerful enough to do so effectively, then the XP gained is going to be lousy and the certainly aren't going to be any drops.
