Competition character. A quest for Etheric Clouds ended up shifting a bunch of points from CHR and MUS into AGI and VIG which worked out really well.
Just found a hat box which had 5 hats in it, 4 of which were artifacts! That's terrific, of course, and I don't want to be seen as ungrateful, but looking over his kit, the one piece of equipment which could actually still be in use during a battle against Fu Manchu? His hat, of course. At least he now has a bunch of back-ups. Plus, they'll probably sell for a lot.

(clevel: 32, dlevel: 27) Clearing vaults to get equipment and clearing pits to gain exp. So far, so good.
Buying a 16 gauge shotgun and some some ammo got him through the early levels until he found that billy club which conveniently coincided with him starting to not hit things with the shotgun. He switched to a pretty good rifle he bought from the Black Market. That combo worked for a bit, and then he found that big banger of a gun he's currently using. He uses melee for most opponents, switching to the shotgun for special occasions or when something resists blunt weapons.

Hey,
What is the reason for raising standard combat up to 15? wouldn't those 5 points over 10 be better spent at neophyte combat? If i understand how things work in steam (well, prolly i dont:) than the only new skill you get over 10 is advanced combat (not particulary useful if you have all the subskills already). or were you concerned about opening advanced combat early enough so you can max it without having to spend gold?

(clevel:36, dlevel:19) Very disappointing. Had been out of town for a few days, and just got back. Within an hour or so of playing Grim again, BAM, he's dead. Those Ether Stalkers just hit too darn hard.
I think lack of speed is what did him in. With the benefit of hindsight, I think bumping Athletics up enough to give him burst of speed probably would have been worthwhile, and probably would have saved him. Oh well. Maybe next time.
On 14.3.2005 06:05 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Of course, accidentally reading phase door scrolls rather than etheric travel scrolls twice in a row didn't help, either. Grimm had killed a couple of the Stalkers, but the level was being taken over by summoning demons.
Grimm had entered the "desperately teleporting around, hoping to survive until Return kicks in" phase, but he failed to survive.
As for taking standard combat up to 15... I still hadn't decided whether Grimm's end-game offense was going to come from melee or missle weapons, so I tried to open every skill that might be useful as early as I could, and then hoped to fill in when I made up my mind (which I figured would happen about 10 seconds after Grimm found a weapon that warranted it. That shotgun was pretty close to being worth it, though, so if he didn't find anything else, I was going to go with that shotgun).
Plus, I think you need Adv Combat at 1 to open Critical strike, but I could be wrong about that.

Well, a few more than 2, but this is the first one to get past the first one I posted.

(clevel: 36, dlevel: 2) Well, Grimm #2 has exceeded Grimm #1 but just a tad. Don't let the quest fool you (2 remaining Plague Bearers on level 22), he's actually on level 2 and going for Moreau. Yes, I'm probably overconfident, but I actually think he can do it.
As you can see from his skill points, this Grimm started as a device-user and has gradually evened out, with melee and rayguns each covering about half his offense.
He got off to an insanely good start when, around clevel 10, he found a stack of 9 harpoons of exigency. Not only did it provide him with a nice melee weapon, FA, SI, and nice stat boosts, but he sold a bunch of them, netting 120k au.
Then when he hit clevel 20 or so, he found the Bulltail and the Eye. Otherwise, the equipment pickings were mighty slim. 3 awesome items, but crap for everything else.
Finally, on level 22 while going after that quest for Plague Bearers, Grimm ran into the biggest and nastiest vault I've ever seen. Nazi Panther Tanks, Lion Men, Jack the Ripper... tons of nastiness. Fortunately, the walls were all indestructable, the vault was set up so Grimm could mostly fight things one at a time, plus Grimm happened to be totally loaded for heavy game going in.
Much careful fighting later, Grimm had advanced from level 32 to 35 and cleared the vault, and had emptied ALL of his wands except the befuddlement ones (they're great in certain situations, but mostly kind of suck compared to the others. Clamor rocks, though. Wish he had found more than 1).
The vault was full of great stuff. The mace of Ramses, the ring of edison, the pea coat of Holmes, the glasses of Dupin, Edison's hat, Mina's petticoat, a couple rifles of ferocity, the throwing hammers of the deep, 10(!) books, and a ton of stat gain potions.
After recalling, requipping, and re-recalling into the dungeon, Grimm so thorough owned everything he ran into that it became clear he needed to head for the big boys and try to win now. Lets see how it goes.

woah. very bold to try that with so little means of healing. Although 140 WP is nice enough so you actually stand a chanche. also your stats are pretty high considering your level and that you have a low dragon's heart.
i really wonder how much damage you can deal with those devices. I was regretting not taking the skills and wasting my skill points on ranged weapons that i never used. must be a good thing to be able to actually hurt those nasty 'V'-s.
anyhow, a brilliant victory it would be if you could pull it. good luck.

(clevel:38, dlevel: -4(?)) Moreau went down as easily as expected. Manchu, after some rather anti-climactic encounters with previous characters, finally busted out with some good moves. He cloned himself, not once, but twice, he summoned uniques, and when he got damaged, he started teleporting Grimm away every time he got into LOS. Then, just to mix it up, he tossed in some time storms, which Grimm didn't really resist very well.
Fortunately, Grimm, though awfully light on healing supplies (16 CCW, 1 cure mortal wounds, and 1 healing) and with no regeneration equipment, held his own quite nicely. Using wands of vaporize, he dug tunnels to limit the battlefield, and then used phasic shift (which is very handy once it starts beaming consistently) on a massive scale to keep the sheer number of enemies under control.
Grimm finally got Manchu down to 4 stars and killed a clone, but Manchu teleported away, I just couldn't find him.
Grimm recalled, reloaded his wands, and headed back down. Manchu teleported in, and while Grimm was in a hallway, he was in the middle of a hallway and there were monsters around. Figuring the best defense is a good offense, Grim charged, and stuck to Manchu like glue, whacking him at every turn. Manchu only used melee this time, and Grimm had a great roll of luck, landing major critical after major critical. Soon, Manchu was down... and a magical staircase appears? Grimm isn't a winner?
So Grimm is now up to level 4 of The Lab and a bit puzzled.

(clevel:38, dlevel: -13) Lab level 13. How high does this thing go?
On 25.3.2005 01:55 artagas@yahoo.co.uk wrote:
puzzling indeed. my Grimm didn't get a magical staircase after killing Manchu, but he did get a title.
I think you should submit your savefile before you go any further anyhow, because the lowest turn wins (and i would think that if you killed Manchu you do count as a winner even if for some weird reason it doesn't show up on your dump?)
(hasn't the same thing happened to your Heng archer? maybe the gods of Angband got bored of you winning too much:)
either way. Congrats! very nice low level win. btw. what level were you exactly in the final battle? I'd imagine you having a hard time with the clones. I had to kill like 4 of them before getting the right one with my Grimm.
On 25.3.2005 02:26 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Thank you. Congrats on YOUR win.
My Heng archer ended up getting his title when he retired. Maybe that'll happen here, too. Yeah, I just submitted the save file a little while ago. Grimm is going to keep running up stairs until his supplies actually run out (I'll be surprised if he gets past level 20. At this point, he's really just running up the stairs. He probably kills only 2-3 monsters per level.), at which point I'll retire him.
Made level 37 with the exp from killing Moreau, and level 38 with the exp from killing Manchu. I'd guess he was at around 650-700k turns when he killed Manchu.
Those clones were obnoxious! I tried to phasic shift them away, but Manchu must have swapped places with one, because Manchu was gone, but a clone was left.

Oh, as for the wands - they do great at mowing down big groups of monsters, even at the end. Almost everything has a hole in its resistances, so by trying different things, you find the one that works, get a bunch of monsters lined up in a hallway, and BAM BAM BAM. Lots of dead monsters.
The ray guns really do enough damage to kill monsters, even at the end (with 20/20 device amp and adv amp). In that enormous pit, my Grimm was wielding that scimitar of exigency when he ran into the Nazi Panther tanks. They laughed at his feeble attempts to melee them, but wands of voltage and clamor took them out. Maybe 12-15 shots to kill each one, and there aren't many monsters tougher than them. For another example, rayguns of fire take 5-7 shots to kill Nazi secret service and they beam almost all the time at the end. 7 charges for an entire hallway of those guys is a good tradeoff. Plus, when you've got a big stack of wands, each scroll of power cell charges EACH wand. Very efficient.

Er, vault, not pit.

(clevel:38, dlevel: -20) Sadly, my version of Grimm was finally blasted to pieces by a pack of dimensional etheric phase automata on level 20 of The Lab. The last few levels had been tough (maybe having autoscum on wasn't such a good idea), with packs of major demons snapping at his heels at every turn. Finally, he went up the stairs to level 20. His first move was to map the surrounding area with Store Lore and the big pack of automata that were in the same room with him, but out of the range of his light, annihilated him before he got to make a second move.
Anyway, it was a fun competition and I had a great time.

Still not a winner, it seems. Oh well. He certainly had an interesting life.
That line at the top of his Last Messages kinda says it all:
"An Etheric Dimensional Phase Automaton suddenly appears. <12x>". 12x? Oh, S**T! Bye, bye, Grimm.
