Moments of "whoa"

[Mondkalb]

In the char history log the depth is correct. The entries probably are made from different sources.

[Magnate]

Does that mean that Celeborn was bazillion levels OoD?

I'm not sure. It shouldn't be possible for the origin depth to differ from the generation depth, but the bug might be precisely this. I think that's more likely than generating Celeborn from dlev 0!

[Timo Pietilä]

Oooh, nice obscure bug. Items under rubble aren't there at level generation, they're created when the rubble is removed, so I suspect the create item function is being called without the origin depth being set.

Does that mean that Celeborn was bazillion levels OoD?

[Magnate]

the Mithril Plate Mail of Celeborn (-3) [65,+25] <+3, +4> (charging)
Found under some rubble at town.

Yes, but, rubble at town? So it says in the char dump. Actually the rubble was at 3450'.
So how come?

[academic.sam]

Came across Holy Infusions at 1050'. Whoa ... I'm a HE mage. Drat. At least, its a quick 25k.

[scud]

Further to the above...

Moving from INT 18/100 to 18/110 took my SP from 93 to 144. It starts to accelerate very nicely.

[scud]

I'm wearing a serious pair of gloves.

Now CL33 + INT 18/60 and I'm SP 48 with gloves, SP 68 without.

*removes all equipment*

Butt-naked I'm INT 18/40 and SP 63. It's really not enough.

[Oramin]

Umm...

You're a L32 High-Elf Mage with an 18/30 INT but your maximum SP is 31?

That's Mister Al P Golden upper left, and I don't fancy my chances against Rogrog at the moment.

Extreme top left [edit: in a continuous single row that for some reason gets chopped off in the dump.txt] is a bone golem. I mistook a bone golem for a pukelman once, with hilarious consequences.

I'm walking straight back up those stairs.

You don't actually die until you hit negative HP in Angband.

[OOD Town drunk]

Not "woe", where you died unexpectedly, but "whoa" when you realize you did something possibly a little awesome.

Like encountering that Ancient White Dragon at 1600, and using only a potion of speed (ok, also armed with the Main Gauche of Maedhros, doing 5.8 attacks/rd), wiped him out without taking any significant damage.

I was fighting Atlas a little under prepared for the damage he outputs and managed to hit exactly 0 Hp only to live long enough to teleport out. I'm guessing I must have had about .1-.9 Hp or something, but it was a nice surprise to live to fight another turn

[Mondkalb]

I started a new rogue yesterday. After some unlucky deaths with wimpy gnomes and hobbits I went for high elf again.
An amulet of weaponmastery on the floor at 1500'. Nice!

Arri is quite lucky in many ways:

But I can't get hold of some of the dungeon books. It is driving me crazy.

[scud]

Sounds like you can't see the spell animations...

Ah yes. I think the animations were on by default, once upon a time? Alternatively I was trying a variant. Either way, I've always turned them off pretty quickly in the past, to the point of forgetting the option was there.

The next time I kill the Big Q on the very edge of my orb I'll count the number of spells taken. It's... a lot.

Playing 3.4.1, Dunedan warrior - just found Doomcaller, Soulkeeper and Gil-Galad in a bubble vault at 4900'. Still under 1million game turns too!

Only 2nd time I've found Doomcaller I think, one of the very rarest artefacts for me.
