Darian's progress (Dun Rog)

[Sirridan]

Rolled a few rogues after I got bored of Aras (Dun Pal)

This one is doing EXTREMELY well. Base resists, free action, SI, nexus, some stealth, and regen. I also have telepathy and a few nice rods, so things are nice right now.

Ring of damage +12, and ring of ice for added fun, 4 blows and good times all around.

What I'd like to know is what else do I need? I'm at DL 60, and I'm seeing some scary monsters again, and I'm very worried about my lack of RPoison, I got breathed on by a basilisk and it put me to 70 hp... and I continued fighting, only stopping when I realized I was almost dead! (I was clearing a long tunnel full of light hounds then suddenly I went from 300hp to 70some and let go of the left key, thankfully the basilisk didn't breathe again in that time.)

I would love some speed, but the speed boots for 40k I saw were gone once I had the money. Speed and healing pots seem to be scary rare, and I'd love an amulet of some kind and a perma light source!

Thanks for any advice, posting dump in thread.

What does the end bit mean on this line?

Found The Dagger 'Nimthanc' (LOST)

Does it mean that you found the item, id'd it and dropped it then left the level?

Or does it mean something else? Never seen it in my own dumps.

[jv123]

I'm stunned you've hardly found any artifacts!! You're pretty deep, and your turn count isn't that small.

[PaulBlay]

Does it mean that you found the item, id'd it and dropped it then left the level?

Either that or he sold it to a shop that then dropped it from inventory.

[Sirridan]

Either that or he sold it to a shop that then dropped it from inventory.

That's what happened, no use keeping it when I had the defender and ring of ice, also found the lightning one soon after.

So yeah, my two artifacts so far were the two 2d4 daggers...

The only ego's I found worth anything were the 3 crowns, and the stealth boots/cloak, everything else has been weak ego weps that I've sold, and I bought my armor and weapon.

I have had *VERY* bad luck with item drops as of yet.

[Sirridan]

Nevermind, just found the Elven Cloak of Luthien, yay for +2 speed!

EDIT:

Also Gauntlets of Parunimmen (blah)

More edits:

Also a new cloak, Colluin! I like the speed with my current one, but Colluin has Rpois... FINALLY RPOISON!

[Sirridan]

The Deathknight magically summons help!

...

Need I say more? (Staff of teleportation failed to work )

[geoff_tewierik]

All over red rover?

[Sirridan]

The deathknight was at 2 **, the 8 guys he summoned that surrounded me took me out in one turn. *Sigh* Never fighting them again unless it's in a tunnel or unless I know I can take them in one turn.
