Got one of my most favorite artefacts of ever in a present the other day... I still get a little thrill every time I see a shadow come up the stairs.

Saithnar is reasonably hard to survive with in the early game if you want it as your primary -- shadows are very hard to hit for a new character. The +3 Dex from Charge really helps. Of course, I could have just used alternate equipment until a bit later, but that's hardly any fun.

Yes, wielding Saithnar from the start is an interesting challenge.

Causing all kinds of havoc between 850'-950'. Almost bit the dust when Gorthaur and Drauglin showed up near a Gwathrauko and a Great fire-drake, but somehow managed to pull through. Now I'm trawling 850' b/c there are monsters I haven't seen much there (dove too fast I guess).

I wish I wish I wish I had a _Treasures :(

I kinda want to take Rapid Attack for Morgy, but Subtlety and Opportunist would both be so expensive now... :(

What about the follow through path? That's the way I went with one of my present characters. I can't do the math right now. Hiccup.

Well, I should have been dead many times over, but with a bit of luck, I was able to rout pretty much every big nasty that lives in Angband.

I'm sitting on the staircase down now, ready to go big or go home.

@HM: I went the follow-through route, and it saved my butt quite a few times. I cuisinarted all the drakes in Glaurung's lair with 2x charge + 2x hit + opportunist when it tried to flee.

My goal for the throne room is to leave Morgoth friendless and utterly alone before I destroy him :) Wish me luck.

Hmmn, I may have outsmarted myself here. All the uniques in the throne room have been replaced with unrelenting horrors. God, do we hate those.

Morgoth went down without a whimper. He didn't hit me once, and he also didn't use his earthquake attack.

It was very sad... he died pitifully while several of his minions stood just a few feet away, completely unaware that any of this was going on :)

With 2 staves of 13 revs each, I am SO looking forward to this ascent haha

LOL @ those notes! This makes me want to play Sil again.

GG.

My first present-powered character to get a win, and my last for a long while.

I'm going to be quitting videogames for a year starting tomorrow (aside from working on my own), so I won't be delving through the murky corners of Angband until 2014. Can't wait to see what half and Scatha have in store for me then!

I'm glad I was able to go out with a bang. Sadly, the present sort of 'cheapens' the win a bit. The fact that I didn't have to put any points towards song of sharpness at all made this guy all the more powerful. (Song of sharpness stacks poorly with stealth characters anyhow, so I usually find myself going for Woven Themes and Song of Silence, which is very expensive.) The long meat-grinder of characters left in Avatham's wake this month are evidence that no amount of a starting advantage can really help me that much at this game :D

Stealth-splatters are way fun!

Happy 2013 everyone!

Hmm...How did you manage to kill Morgoth...with Saitnar?

On 2.1.2013 03:24 debo wrote:
Buffed up and wailed on him with rapid attack + concentration. The damage starts to pile up pretty quick. Concentration is crazy good for taking on Morgy, provided you can dodge enough to not have to waste turns healing. Two attacks at (+40, 3d12) is pretty scary.

Present(s) or not, you won the game in style. This method is something that HM would do...anyday.

I didn't think concentration worked on the second attack, but that might've been a few versions ago, or my bad memory.

Hate to see you go. Nice win!

No way, not for me. I've never had more than 7 in stealth.

On 2.1.2013 03:45 debo wrote:
Hmmn, it's possible I screwed myself by keeping rapid attack and/or concentration on, then. In any case, it all worked out! lol

Great work! Very enjoyable comments too. You found and completed all 5 greater vaults, killing all 4 of Morgoth's chief servants before the throne room. Yes, that is good going, and a good way to play your final game for a year. Sounds like a reasonable resolution -- sorry if I've been the cause of unproductivity.

To answer the concentration question: the second attack/weapon doesn't cause problems for concentration, but you no longer gain more than 1 point of bonus in a single round.

Once again, great work!
