  14,442    700 ft    That gives me (too much) confidence.

  15,977    750 ft    Destroyed Belegwath, Balrog of Shadow
  16,019    750 ft    That was dangerous. Delthaur's darkness let all sorts 
                      attack me 
  16,019    750 ft    whilst I was trapped. Had to use consumables and drop 
                      shadow cloak to 
  16,019    750 ft    survive! That was a tough spot.
  16,058    750 ft    (Rauko-Bane)
  16,137    750 ft    Another interesting fight... 3 Kemen, emerald serpent,

  22,203    950 ft    Slew Ancalagon the Black
  22,246    950 ft    Ancalagon was tougher than I remember. He seems to be

There was a comment on the forum a while back asking what you would do differently if your life depended on winning. This is my attempt at it. I'm posting it here to try and take it a little more seriously!

I've certainly played slower and more carefully than usual so far and I'm not sure I've ever crafted 1d1 protection rings before!

On 6.10.2013 18:33 Psi wrote:
Other things I've done differently:

- would usually discard Irime, but lighting the corridor you've just been down could prove useful.
- I never usually flee levels. Already done it twice.
- wouldn't normally wear a stealth cloak.

Pretty interesting to see you try this! Are you aiming for a single gem, or to get strong enough to take V at the bottom to make the escape safer? What do you think your odds of success are?

Would also be interesting to know when you started investing in Will and Stealth -- was this just at the point of wanting the relevant abilities?

On 7.10.2013 09:23 Psi wrote:
I'll probably go for V if strong enough as I don't know any other way - it also depends on one's definition of a "win" :)

Having eaten a ~Weakness with 0 points in will, I took three points before testing another mushroom. I then added the rest to take the ablities. I think stealth was all at once to get opportunist.

Had some interesting events this morning:

- My first Ururauko knocked me down to 16HP. Normally I would still risk another hit. Chugged a !Healing and when he missed me, I then attacked knowing I should be ok even if I missed.

- There was a Grotesque blocking a corridor. I swung a few hits with my battle axe to see if I could damage it. Then Delthaur came up behind it and the darkness effect let the Grotesque attack me! I backed away and then got stuck in the end of a corridor with Delthaur, the Grotesque, a vampire and a few Greater Werewolves blocking my escape. I had to drop my shadow cloak to let me see enough to fight my way into the corridor. I'd also forgotton I'd removed Hador when attacking the Grotesque so ended up taking on a Balrog without rFire! At the end of the fight it was just me and Delthaur dancing around a room with a Grotesque that kept vanishing into Delthaur's darkness radius. I won through, but I'm guessing that is when I lost my _Treasures.

Current level looks like it has Glaurung's den. Do I take it on...

On 7.10.2013 10:19 Psi wrote:
Glaurung cost me a _Treasures and _Freedom thanks to his brood, but he is defeated. Drauglin was also interesting as he managed to poison me. Wearing Curufin for now - not sure it is a good idea and will certainly drop before the throne room!

On 7.10.2013 10:54 Psi wrote:
Well that serves me right. Just started tapping keys like I usually would. I was just thinking of increasing will too as Gorthaur is on the level. I'm sure I would have won if I had not got complacent.

On 7.10.2013 10:57 Psi wrote:
Just noticed I was wielding the wrong weapon too - should have been the Nargothrond sword. Previous Ds had fled very soon after attacking them and I could chase them down. I found it so hard to stay focused when I feel so comfortable. If my live really did depend on it, I would have done that differently... wouldn't I?!!!!

On 7.10.2013 10:59 Psi wrote:
Didn't even think to sing sharpness either... my mind was elsewhere. Probably on the meeting I have in 1 minute...

On 8.10.2013 14:15 Scatha wrote:
Obviously that hurts ... and I think shows that it's hard to play as though your life depends on it when it does not.

If my life were on the line, I suspect I would push on Con and try to avoid going near any dragons.

On 8.10.2013 14:48 Psi wrote:
I think I would take a look at the code and work out what Will I need to avoid getting entranced. I thought having a source of FA was pretty much enough, except against Gorthaur. How does the calculation work?

On 8.10.2013 23:12 Scatha wrote:
You roll d10 + Will vs their d10+Will. You win on ties, and get a +10 bonus from Free Action. So you were guaranteed at least a 22, but a Great cold drake with 17 Will could get up to 27. Technically then you'd need another 5 Will to be completely safe, although if you're just a couple of points the odds are strongly in your favour.

The unique dragons are pretty high Will, too. Glaurung, like Gorthaur, has 21 Will.
