Bugs in 4.2.0

hmmm, does Single Combat mean that there are no drops? Treasure being lost in the combat arena? Just killed Ungolliant in single combat and absolutely zero drop. Checked unignore just to be sure. Nothing.

Pretty sure Ive seen drops from single combat. Ive also had endgame uniques never drop anything, so I think you just got unlucky.

That being said, I think "no loot" would be a *great* drawback to using single combat. "Is giving up some loot worth making this fight significantly less dangerous" is a great question for players to ask themselves.

Maybe not a bug, but an exploit: Can get XP drained below a level to restore stats when you go above the level again. Actually came in very handy for me just now.

I played Rogue in '80, '81 and found this version for the PC.
I am running Win10, dual screen. I have the character always centered.
During play, i am shooting arrows or shots and the game pauses and shuts down. I think it happened once using a wand.
Here is my game file just before the last crash.
It has not happened when I was hand to hand.
Please let me know if you need more information...

I haven't been able to get this to crash. One thing you could try is turning sound off and seeing if that helps.

Happened upon encountering a trap or perhaps an item pickup - can't recall exactly. Experienced another crash shortly thereafter on a different dungeon floor.

There is a known (and fixed in development) bug with block fall traps; this is probably that.

Drop should happen after the arena is shut down. One possibility is that you were placed somewhere different, and the drop was in Ungoliant's original place.

The dead unique that walks

Hi.

I am playing a game of 4.20, and greatly enjoying it. I just ran into something curious, though. Just now, I was in the dungeon at 4850', and I ran into Quaker, Master of Earth, asleep. I thought I had killed him already, but it was quick work, and he was soon no more. I went back to the surface, and promptly down again. I have just begun exploring the level, and here is Quaker, sound asleep again. I have checked, and gotten confirmation that Quaker did die long ago at 2400'. So I have killed Quaker three times.

I know that any Maia of Aule may appear as Quaker, of course, but I did not think that they took alternate forms while still asleep. If they do, it seems like a bug to me. For the record, during the time I was fighting Quaker last trip to the depths, he stayed Quaker all through, and never transformed to anything else.

Yep, looks like a bug.

This is in macOS, I'm guessing?

Yes, MacOS

That one's my fault. A pull request to try and fix it is up on Github.

Poison Brand

Playing the Blackguard. With the Poison Brand spell active my ammo reports:

Average damage/round: 194.6 vs. creatures not resistant to poison, and 111.2 vs. others.

But when I hit things that do not resist poison, the damage doesn't go up.

[DavidMedley]

Melee damage definitely goes up, though.

OK, that's an error in the info - Poison Brand should only be applying to melee.
