Sky's BlaBla random AAR thread

i've been playing for years and i have never seen this before.
How many surprises does this game hold?

[Sky]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


RIP Gnome mage CL39.

I was on DL98 and trying to clear a demi-vault, teleporting out everything from behind a corner, when i finally see a Kelek's, and caught in the excitement i walked towards it to grab it, and Feagwath manastormed me ... poor gnome with only 289hp.
1 step away from victory.

many human mages dead at CL1 / CL2 due to .. you know, them being human mages.

Are you exploring levels with a clvl 1 mage ? Dont blame them for the deaths :P

given that i have 1 spell and 2sp i can't see how else i am expected to get from CL1 to CL2.

With another source of ranged damage

[wobbly]

Emptying a wand of magic missiles into 1 of the dog uniques is probably enough for clvl 5

[Pete Mack]

That works. So do a couple ?PD, some shot or !oil, and a scroll of blessing.

[Estie]

What Pete said: buy some oil before taking the stairs, upgrade with sling or whatever you find.

And the idea is not to throw flasks at every icky thing you see; the flasks are reserved for emergencies or high value targets. Ood scout, Grip/Fang, that kind of thing. Random icky thing gets magic missiled, if oom, retreat and rest up.

But my emphasis in op was on "exploring": staying close to the stairs, if the vicinity is clear changing level rather than running off far is good for the fledgling mages well being.

[Sky]

eh, come on, who cares it's a CL1 mage.

he said, before dying like, idk, 12 times?

[Sky]

13 ?

got ganked by a huge ass number of ravens that ate all my CLW and CCW.

14 - died to a large brown snake.

[Pete Mack]

This needs more explanation.

[Sky]

This needs more explanation.

obviously Id-ing scrolls, one was Summon Monster and it really outdid itself.

[Sky]

i'm dying.
AstraZeneca is kicking my ass. I'm delirious and drunk because alcohol is the only thing that makes the suicidal thought subsite. I feel like life is being ripped out of my body.

Aside from that my @ is still alive.
