My long-awaited second (decent) character. After my previous dwarf warrior, I didn't play for about 3 months and then started again; I was welcomed back to Angband with a spate of low-teen character deaths. This is the first one to have survived further.

It's been fairly regular so far; no Kelek's at 100' like last time (damn), but I've been lucky with the rest of the spellbooks appearing regularly and on time. Besides the early-on fun of trying to kill Gollum (who was a REAL challenge with a 3d4 magic missile, and took 4 attempts before I managed to kill him - he nicked about 10k AU in the process), most uniques went down to a barrage of magic missiles and frost bolts (as required).

Equipment finds have been useful; the big find so far was Dol-Lomin under a pile of rubble at 1050'. I *think* that was the only thing giving a 'good' feeling, but I'm not sure - nevertheless, I'll take it!

On 27.6.2004 05:15 meep@stfu.net.nz wrote:
And Wormtongue dropped those boots of speed +3. That made me a very happy camper!

Nevertheless, I'm a bit wary of going any deeper - basic resists are covered alright, poison can be covered with Scarabtrices, but I'm absolutely lacking in the advanced ones; the Elvenkind armour I have at home could be used to cover that. Still, I need more range in equipment before I can decide what to take.

Why not wear that Shield of Elvenkind? you get some stealth (which you seem to like) and ResFear (which doesn't really matter.) you lose some AC but you shouldn't really be in melee anyway. If I were you I'd also have the hard leather of Elvenkind as a Nexus swap.

cool place to find Dor-Lomin. :) once I found a randart 2HSword with extra attacks under a rubble, but it wasn't as good as dor-lomin. Is that giving you telepathy?

On 28.6.2004 06:30 meep@stfu.net.nz wrote:
Oh, bah. I'd forgoten about the shield of elvenkind. Well, the Dor-Lomin also provides rFear, and telepathy, which is less useful than as it was with my warrior... but it's nice not to have to detect monsters every few steps. The extra stealth from the shield will be good, too.

Right now, I'm actually meleeing quite a lot; it's mostly the stuff that can't hurt me, though, like orcs, ogres and such. It'd probably be quicker just to zap them all with *balls, but I'm too lazy for that... it'll probably get me killed though.

The hard leather I'll probably drag along too, but the only nexus breathers I've seen so far were nexus hounds... and they're not in-depth yet (another few hundred feet to go, if I recall correctly). Still, it's nagging on the back of my mind, hopefully I won't forget it!

And thanks for pointing the elvenkind shield out :)

Woo-har. A few hundred feet deeper, a few more goodies.

Got Elvagil; however, I didn't want to replace my old Defender battleaxe because it had FA. However, the Amulet of Weaponmastery (never seen one before, either!) had FA and rDisenchant (does rDisenchant protect against disenchant attacks, like from Mim?) amongst other things, so I dropped the placeholder ammy for that. Elvagil's giving me 3 blows, over the 1 I got with the Defender, so now I'm a lot more confident in meleeing.

The latest trip to 1400' (which was rapidly achieved after I dropped through *two* trapdoors in a row - one on an 'excellent' 1300', then one outside a Troll pit on 1350' - I really should pay more attention and detect traps more!) was interesting, with Azog-hai and Mim appearing, and also Uldor in a vault. They all fell without any major troubles; a combination of shockwaves and acid bolts (or magic missile for Mim - he seemed to resist EVERYTHING) works quite well. Netted me Thalkettoth, which doesn't quite replace Hithlomir; from my last game, I always got more out of rDark than rShards. Holhenneth from an earlier trip is also useful; but the telepathy and big +stats from Dor-Lomin is too much to give away. I'd much rather have the burden (thus speed) and hp than more mana.

I'm going to continue dropping levels steadily, no deep dives; if I trawl enough, I'll hopefully get a combination of gear which covers at least SOME of the advanced resists (basic being covered well right now!).

Well, I got bored. So instead of hanging safely around 1700-1800', I'm now down at 2200', facing the Elemental Monarchs (or whatever-you-call-'em) and the first dragon uniques, time vortices, out-of-depth time hounds, a LOT of nether bolters (most annoying!)...

Equipment hasn't changed much... there haven't been any decent new artifacts for a while - 'specially no gloves, and most irritatingly, not even an ego shield to replace the one I have now (which I've got mainly for the AC).

I'm mainly killing things with a mix of rifts, meteor showers and (buffed) meleeing, which is doing quite well. But I've recently noticed that meleeing, say, a Drolem doesn't work very well, which may pose a problem in the future.

The most memorable thing in the last few weeks of playing was when I Found boots of speed +8 at 1850'! Hurrah! And then next recall down, drop to 1900', and a sneaky novice ranger drops one that's +10 (where did he get it from, is what I want to know). Oh well; base speed is +18 now, and hasted, I can double-move quite a lot of the things I'm encountering. So! Onwards, ever onwards...

I really should hold my tongue. In the ~2 hours since I updated the dump, I've found the Glaive of Pain, the sabre Careth Asdriag and the Cesti of Fingolfin, all at 2250'. The irony of getting the Glaive appeals to me... I really wish I could've traded it with that Kelek my warrior found at 100' now! *sigh*

On 25.8.2004 11:01 meep@stfu.net.nz wrote:
Well, not much exciting since the last update. Decided to swap out the speed ring for rPoison; hopefully I can get a nice artifact *anything* (but especially shield or armour) that'll cover it, and I can slot the ring back in.

Aule was a great drop by a random dragon, and it's been in good use ever since. Main selling point is the rNexus, which makes nexus hounds much easier. I'll probably swap it for something with an immunity (Eonwe, say) if I find one, though.

The most exciting thing has been killing a large raft of uniques. They all died, to put it succinctly, easily - it basically goes down to outclassing it in melee (for Itangast, Scatha, Smaug, Eol, the Elemental Monarchs) or very carefully shooting rifts at it (the ringwraiths, Harowen). I can melee just about any regular creature, which is good for my rather mindless playstyle (hold down one direction, wait :P), but I'll probably have to adjust soon enough, when the regular monsters start getting hairy.

FEANOR! FEANOR! FEANOR!!1

WOO. I mean, really, yeah. It's been a great past few days of 'banding. I finally got that poison resist covered on a non-ring slot, and then a combination of a bit of fiddling has left me with nearly all resists covered - hurrah!

Thorin was a great lucky drop; finally, that shield slot has something that'll stay there permanently (or until I find something better!). A Greater Titan dropped two artifacts at once, which was a good portent for the future; then on the next recall (or the next after that), Saruman appears. Thanks to the "oWeaponmastery, I'm quite easily able to defeat him, with the help of an antisummoning tunnel (not that he summoned much; lemures and an imp, as far as I could tell). He drops *three* at once, and a (oMagi, which isn't really as good as any artifact, but oh well!

So yeah. Things have been looking up for my little ol' mage. I'm diving progressively deeper now; confidence and good loot keeps me going down.

One question: is there anyway to counteract "touch to lower experience" attacks? HLife doesn't seem to do anything; although I seem to recall that HLife works only on nether attacks and not the touch attacks. Thanks in advance!

Whoops.

I'd been wondering if ~700 max hp would be alright. It lasted me through quite a lot, actually. Lately I've been trying to farm Major Demons - letting them summon each other. It was quite fun, but losing the _oHealing was a pain at times. I eventually realised that 2950' was a "very good" feeling, so I decided to find out what it was - enlightened, then saw the vault. So I went to have a look.

Inside was, of course, Uriel. I wasn't particularly worried; I could teleport him away, or teleport away, if necessary. And it did - my char got wizzled down to ~100 odd hp. Tried again.. and got literally barbecued. It was on about 450-500 hp, and so that fire breath did ~600, through fire resist AND the temporary resist from the resistance spell - OUCH.

Oh well, yet another learning experience for next time - "mages can't really melee" and "get more resistance against deep breathers!"

I might try a return to a warrior next go, possibly a Dunadan or Half-troll. Or perhaps that Kobold priest I've had my eye on...
