Trying to kill Melkor with an archer. My very first ToME winner was an anti-magic archer and I haven't really played them that much since then. This one is a more standard archer, who worships Eru for Lay of Protection and detection.

I wasn't going to post him until at least beating Morgoth, but he just killed Feagwath and after seeing the extend of what he dropped, I just had to. Feagwath dropped: Doomcaller, Barahir, Lebohaum, Narthanc, Aglarang, Glimdrir, and Belthronding. Plus some relatively rare ego items like a bluesteel blade of Gondolin.

First time I've ever actually found a suit of power dragon scale mail in a dungeon. I've found staves of wishing and wished for the classic polished power dragon mails of immunity before, but I've never actually found one before. Got close with an Ent Loremaster/Possessor, but that incident is still too painful to think about.

Well, I guess technically I didn't find this one either as it was a princess quest reward, but close enough. Polished would have been a whole lot nicer than of Defense, but I'm still happy with it. Now the question is whether or not to wear it. Have run into a lot of Chaos breathing monsters which is a pain without chaos resistance, so the PDSM would be nice.

Getting proper ammo has been a chore. Thanks to aggresive ammo retrieval and good luck with breakage, he's still getting by on ammo that originally came from Lothlorien house quest skeletons and has still never seen bolts of acid. If this keeps up, Angband will be rough.

The RNG has decided to make things tough on Balista. He's had miserable luck finding junk to turn into ammo, but he's been unusually lucky in terms of finding useable ammo, so its worked out though he's yet to make a set of randart ammo nor find much acid or slay evil ammo (which he'll definitely need later).

So first he runs into a princess quest for Pit Fiends. Not that terrible a draw, but the darn things kept on breathing chaos which destroys all non-artifact items, such as Balista's ammo. Took three tries to complete, and by the time it was done, virtually all of his ammo was gone (except the acid and slay evil, which he's hoarding for later).

The next level, pleasantly enough, was a princess quest for GWoC which went on a summoning frenzy. First try failed because the level also happened to contain a graveyard. By the second try, Balista was reduced to a couple dozen +3, +5 bolts and a half-dozen silver bolts he bought at the BM. Fortunately, he found enough to keep going, but it was tricky. He just barely had enough ammo to kill each wyrm, and then he had to quickly check its drop for bolts and then teleport away before the rest came into LOS. Even so, they summoned like absolute maniacs.

Balista tried to fight fire with fire by reading a scroll of summon non-moving that a dread dropped, and of all things, Qlzzzrupppt appeared and waited long enough before turning hostile for Balista to charm him. I haven't tried summon kin yet, but it looks terrifying.

Anyway, finishing the level took several hours, even with liberal use of a pair of mass geno junkarts, making it by far the longest level I've ever had. Looks like the most profitable, too. Cleaning up the mess yielded 37 artifacts - 20 'real' ones (including some nice ones like Cubragol, Aranruth, and Soulkeeper) and 17 randarts, plus 5 junkarts, and 3 different hvy crossbows with (x6) multipliers (Umbar plus a pair of xtra might h. crossbows. very nice for a crossbow using archer), plus a multiple healing and restoration rod-tips. The process of sorting through the drops and deciding what to keep might take longer than the battle.

The final count appears to be 41 artifacts. I've settled on taking the best of the x6 crossbows (intentionally not taking umbar), the randart amulets, some seeker bolts of acid, and junkarts for the rest.

The thinking is that Balista already has all immunities and resists covered, so only take stuff that could actually help. If either amulet has rNether, rDisenchant, AND telepathy, it would free up a ring slot AND his helmet slot, so its worth a chance. Plus, junkarts of genocide would be incredibly handy, so the slim chance of getting one is better than taking Aranruth, which, though wonderful, is unlikely to be of use to Balista.

Many, many uniques are dead and many, many artifacts have been found. Balista (now a she) had the interesting occurance of seeing Qlzzqlzuup in two places at the same time. She had earlier had the good fortune to get him when reading a scroll of summon non-moving creature and the even better fortune to get a free move right after, allowing her to hypnotize it. The summon Quylthulgs power in theory is tremendously powerful, but in practice its kind of annoying and somewhat unreliable.

Qlzqqlzuuup's best atribute is its healthy supply of HP. I was planning on bumping Symbiosis up to 15 and trying to use share-life and heal symbiote for healing in the void, in lieu of a cloak of air. Fortunately, she just found a cloak of air in a vault in Angband, so it won't be necessary.

Anyway, she's got Qlzqqlzuup as a symbiote, and then she ran into it in a lesser vault in Angband. She killed it in the vault, but still has it as a symbiote. Weird.

Progress is fine. She's been finding tons of vaults, and by rigorously doing every single one (using mass geno to clear them of monsters first, generally), she's built her ammo supply back up.

Its funny which quests are tough. The Pit Fiends and Bronze Golems were agonizingly difficult, but the Greater Balrogs and GWoL were cake. I guess it comes down to: 1) Do any of Balista's various bolts do extra damage vs the monster, and 2) How likely is it to breathe, cast spells, etc. with an effect that destroys her ammo? Greater Balrogs are vulnerable to poison and she had poison seeker bolts, thus they were a trivial opponent.

112 days! That amazing considering that this character has done zero scumming (not in the Lothlorien house quest, hasn't even been in the sandworm hole, etc.).

When she runs out of ammo or has it destroyed, she ends up falling back on her junkarts of mass geno. They get used a lot, so she spends a lot of time resting, waiting for them to recharge. Wow, I had no idea it was long long.

Yea! Morgoth and Sauron went down in short order. The battles weren't quite as easy as they were with DeadZone, my anti-magic archer, but they were still pretty easy. Didn't bother with the Anchor against Sauron, because the seeker bolts of acid killed him so fast he didn't get a chance to teleport away.

Waited until after Sauron was dead to go do the Uvatha quest, so he's now permanently dead. Not being able to finish him off always bugged me. Hmm, forgot to do Thunderlord quest. Balista will have to take care of that before entering the void.

Haven't found the rod-tip of home summoning, which is significant problem. Using her current weapon, Balista's best anti-Melkor ammo only does about 800 damage per shot. Since he's got 90k hp, she needs to bring along 115 shots to kill him, and that doesn't even include Melkor healing or, *gasp* Balista missing on some shots. That's a lot of ammo, and being able to keep some of it at home would have been nice. Looks like she's going to be hauling many, many bolts through the Void.

I'm a bit concerned that the system thinks she's in a Death Orb's body. She did encounter one, but she tried to stay out of its LOS the entire time and she certainly didn't fight it. Is it a parasite thing? It never got closer than 5 or 6 squares away, so I thought she was safe from that, but maybe not.

A couple other notes. Just in case she loses her crossbow, she found a spare! Amazingly similar: both are (+13, +13) (x6) heavy crossbows that give +2 to STR, DEX, and CHR. Her main one also gives light and +2 CON, while the backup gives +2 INT and Speed. Once she puts on the Iron Crown and stat bonuses become irrelevant, the back-up will become the primary weapon.

Had very few FF quests in the second half of Angband which was really annoying. I was hoping to get a few more, save some skill points, and beef up Thaumaturgy, hoping for Wall Create or Destruction to block monster LOS in the Void.

Right now, she has no means of blocking monster LOS which will be a huge problem in the void. I wonder if teleport level works there. If so, it can be her panic escape.

Ok, just engaged in this character's first real scumming. Scumming alchemist shops for teleport scrolls (I want to bring 99 into the void), scumming the dungeon town for cure insanity potions, and Balista just killed a dragon to build up favor with Eru. I especially didn't want to do that last one, but I figure special measures are required when going after Melkor. 220k piety should be good. Enough to cast many, many lays of protection, pray constantly, and still have a good shot at being ressurected.

Apparently the RNG approves as the dragon that finally left a corpse also dropped a ring of lordly protection. Only the second one I've ever found outside the BM.

Ok, all of the end of dungeon uniques are dead and Balista found another dungeon market while clearing the Illusory Castle. It had a pair of elven boots that had telepathy. If this was earlier in the game, those would have been amazing, but there's no need for them now.

Balista's final load-out for the Void will be:
- Tomes of Knowledge and of Eru
- 2 Mass Geno Junkarts and a Satisfy hunger Junkart
- Lots of potions of cure insanity, healing, and *healing*, 3 potions of life and a potion of invulnerability
- 99 scrolls of teleport and 4 scrolls of mass geno
- 3 rods of healing, a rod of disarming, and an adamntite rod of the istari of enlightenment (for stair scumming)
- 5 batches of bolts (totaling 98 bolts) of slay evil (most are silver or seeker), and a few bolts of acid
- Ring of Accuracy +20

For equipment, he's got his regular staff of power +10 (newly inscribed with mana thrust, just in case. He uses the staff so he can have a radius of 2 on lay of protection, plus it gives ID a radius as well), a RoS +11 and Flare. The rest is standard - Trone, Thorin, Arkenstone, Elessar, Fingolfin, Cloak of Air, Morgoth's Crown, and Boots of Speed.

The most questionable call is bringing the ring of accuracy and wearing Flare instead of a couple scrolls of geno, more ammo, or another RoS. The logic is that she's at base speed +36 (+46 when adrenalized) and bumping that up +10 won't really change things much. Second, Flare's swap position ability is absolutely invaluable in the Void and Nether realms and is worth almost anything. Finally, while Balista needs to get through the Void and Nether Realms doing as little fighting as possible (if her ammo breaks, she's dead), when she does fight, the difference between being at +100 and +120 is likely to be more important than having the exta ammo or whatever. We'll see if I'm right.

So far, so good. The rod of enlightenment was a total failure (I didn't expect it to work like normal, but I hoped it would create the extended LOS that casting high level vision, for example, does. It didn't.), so it got chucked, but Balista did find a scroll of artifact creation.

Her only equipped non-ego non-artifact items are the RoS and Qlzqqlzuup. Hmm. Since it won't let me enchant Qlzqqlzuup (that would have been too cool), and from previous experience it will just make the RoS invulnerable, I'll go with the Ring of Accuracy. Hmm, not bad. +3 to DEX, CON, and Stealth, sustain STR and CHR, Free action, and rShards, plus the original +20 to-hit. At this point, that basically just means +3 to Stealth, but that's better than nothing.

Oooh, and a scroll of teleport level. Never tried one in the Void before... No luck. The Void blocks it.

Near disaster on level 134. Accidentally teleported away from the stairs while trying to pick up a potion of *healing*, and landed right next to Marylene who opened a serious can of whoop-ass on Balista. Random panicky teleporting miraculously brough Balista back to the stairs. Whew.

A pit full of Death Orbs!?!?!? You've got to be kidding me. Balista managed to escape, but that's just absurd.

The RNG seems to be unhappy with Balista. Marylene and Ancalagon appear to be chasing her. Both of them appear on 30-40% of the levels she visits, and considering that she usually doesn't seem much of each level, that means those two are probably on just about every level. That's horrendously bad.

Also bad is that death orb mobs appear to be the other theme so far. She's almost through the Void and has encountered 2 full pits and 1 big mob of death orbs.

Used her first mass genocide when a master Q kept recalling her off the stairs and summoning monsters. Scary, but mass geno handled it.

On 4.8.2004 19:09 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Made it into the Nether Realms and found a potion of New Life, which, when drunk, knocked off 36 of Balista's hp. Doh. The Nether Realms extended its greeting by placing Balista right next to a Death Orb, and within site of a greater demon pit, with no stairs in sight. Lovely.

On 4.8.2004 19:25 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
But Mass Genocide makes up for a multitude of problems. Didn't hurt the Death Orb, but once the demons were gone, Balista could just teleport away. She also found a "good" heavy crossbow, so assuming she hangs onto it, she's good for the flame imperishable.

Close call with a seeker bolt trap hidden in lava. Need to turn on auto disarm.

On 4.8.2004 20:20 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Catastrophe. While hunting for the stairs on 684, Balista ran into Marylene. Instead of just teleporting away, I tried to create a void gate back to the stairs. Marylene took the opportunity to summon uniques, getting Great Cthulu and three seperate packs of major demons (lords of change, star spawn, and something else).

Anyway, BOOM. They killed Balista before she even got a move. All was not entirely lost, however, as Balista was praying to Eru at the time and was ressurected. On the down side, she's now at -200k piety, which means no Eru spells until it's back to zero (fat chance of that happening) and no regular spells until its better than -100k (pretty darn slim chance of that happening).

Obviously, this is better than beind dead, but not being able to create void gates, swap position, create lays of protection, or even use detection spells makes this even more difficult and far more tedious. Sigh.

Almost forgot. Quite possibly worst of all, she can't detect traps anyway.

Bah, humbug. Using the detection power of the Arkenstone, Balista was making slow progress. She'd detect, and if there were stairs down within striking distance and no monsters or traps, she'd try to walk over. If she didn't see any stairs, she'd wait until it charged up, slowly gaining her piety back, stair scum until it looked safe, and try again.

Very slow process but she made it down another 4 levels that way. It was also very dangerous because of the tendency to start holding down the '5' key, and because fricking Marylene and DarkGod were showing up on virtually every single level. They could see Balista at about the same distance she could see them, and they'd pour monsters onto poor Balista. Balista escaped their attacks a half-dozen times or so, but her luck finally ran out. I just can't believe how persistent those two were.

Sigh. Maybe I'll try again without the C and Joke monsters, or perhaps without autoscum for good levels.
