So yesterday, tired of scumming for arrows of holy might I took on the big M. I had 30 seeker arrows of holy might. Not nearly enough to take M down, but enough to bring me close. So I'm playing really well since I'm Healing and not really letting M get in close combat for the most part. But I soon run out of Holy might and have to take him on hand to hand....again I'm doing okay with him phasing away and healing often. Until he summons dragons. Instead of using my scroll of mass banishment I use my staff of banishment. It works. Sadly I blank out on what letter dragons are since I have a hard time playing ASCII style. So I lose my turn M mana storms, a dragon breathes desechantment and I am him as I franticly press q so that I can quaff a potion of life.
Pretty f*4Ked IMO. I would have expected that you would have a choice of what to banish rather than having to know what to banish. Of course if I had been more relaxed I could have looked at the monster spoilers....
SO after the big tombstone I loaded up my save scum file and sure enough M bite the dust. But I don't have my clean win...yet. I made a new character and took out Farmer Maggots dogs with ease...which never would have happened before. Got to fourth lvl in ten minutes. But I want to play a newer version of Angband so I might start a new character in 3.1.2
Honestly though I feel that my characters death was a bit unfair. Preventable...yes, but still unfair since I would have had to leave the game and go online for the spoiler files. I'll have my clean win yet!
