Idea for this build was that since Monks have terrible times with Resistance Holes and Initial fighting ability, I will patch it up with Draconian innate resists and Dragon Breath (or initial attack power).

That worked out pretty well, though I will admit to farming Green Worms for a bit.

Normally I don't dump before level 30-35 at least, but what I found on Smeagol prompted this early early dump... check out that shield! +4 STR, DEX, INT, WIS, Stealth! Plus, I have no idea what its hidden abilities are... This is looking really good so far.

Oh, and in case people were wondering, I chose Death as School, because I just couldn't forget how easily Hellfire rocked the Unicorn.. I figure, if I make it that far, it'll more or less guarantee me one Lazy artifact.

Wish me luck!

The random abilites were... *drum roll*

RBlind and RConf!!

All I can say is.. WOW. I have all the "base" resistances covered! (RPois from Death school spell).

Had a bit more trouble than I predicted in the orc quest (because of lack of ?oPhaseDoor and ?oTeleport), and ended up using both !oSpeed, and 1 !oHealing.. Ah well.

That's it for today, I think.

I was sorely under-prepared for the Lvl 24 Grendel quest (being only lvl 18 originally), and realized I could take him right away when he took me down to 1/2 HP before me doing even 1 star of damage. I teleported out, and found a solitary Quartz Vein.. and levelled up 6 times, to face the challenge O_o. Quartz Vein kill count: ~1300, total earnings: ~240,000 gp

Found the Fur Cloak of Mook, so that allowed me to complete the Logrus Master Quest easily. Hm... I'm pretty sure I'm not Stealthy/Strong enough for taking on the Vault. I suppose it's stat-gain time.

How did you get (Cancelled) status for that first quest?

Good luck.

Not sure. I cleared Yeek Cave first, and then when I got to Angband 6, it just said, "There's a inscription on the wall. It seems this level used to be protected by someone."

It's not the first time I've gotten this--I assumed it was because of a clvl thing, or perhaps a time limit. Alternatively, it could be because I killed Golfimbul already in the Orc Camp Quest. Maybe the Bull Gates trick doesn't work for Random Quests?

Oh, does anyone know what these Monk Postures do, other than sucking?

I tried the Genbu; it increased by AC by 12 and my CON by 3, but decreased my INT and WIS by 1, and my DEX by 2, and most cripplingly, decreased by blows by 2 (to 1).

Fighting a monster, I didn't notice any riposting/counterattacking either, so...?

It's not on the Heng Spoiler site either :-/

That posture is useful when you do *NOT* melee.
It gives you reflection, and if you are able to use a staff of starlight or some missle weapons, dark elven warlocks are no more threat. And the +3 bonus to con can sometimes be very critical in midgame. Use it wisely! :)

Hit lvl 30 off Judge Mortis, and somehow he was carrying Jack's Cloak. With Double-Attack, I made short work of another 2 Arena battles, but don't think I'm quite ready for Dark Elven Sorceror yet (this guy will blink like mad, if I remember correctly).

Think I might be able to do Sting with Chaos Rank Stealth, though I'm not very motivated to do it--can't use the weapon, and none of the remainder of the Telmora quests are that good anyway.

It's getting tricky now, as there are a number of Shard/Vibration/Nexus hounds, and I can't cover all the resists... OK, I'll admit to being lazy about checking drops because I can't use most of the items anyway, and I got a big pile of cash from farming Quartz Veins. Hm...

The Cancelled-status from the quest is because you already killed the random quest monster before fighting it in Angband. The list of quest monsters is probably generated at the start of the game. I've had it a couple of times too.

Well, got bored with Paris and decided to try running Dave into Cloning Pits. At the time of entry, I had: 5 !oSpeed, 2!oResistance, 4 !oHealing, and about 25 ?oTeleport, with swap items being Fur Cloak of Mook (for RChaos) and a =oResistNether.

With Chaos rank Stealth, I went and took care of the various ogres, trolls, and giants first with no problems. I didn't have RPoison at the time, but did have the spell through death, so I went up to the Gachapins next, and killed one of them fairly easily. The second one summoned, and all of a sudden I was surrounded by a large number of Hydras. Decided to risk it, and quaffed the !oResistance. Hurt Gachapin then breathed Chaos (oops, forgot they had those), and woke up the other one. At about 150 HP, I was faced with a tough decision of (1) teleporting out, (2) swapping in Mook for RChaos, or (3) quaffing a !oHealing. Settled on quaffing and then swapping, and took care of them with some difficulty (using up all of my !oHealings before I cleared them).

Then went and grabbed the two !o*Healing* in the level, and went for the Jurts. One of them dropped The Crown of Amber, which allowed me to permanently put Jack's Cloak back on, and then the rest of the clearing was easy.

Then went back and did a few more round of Arena, and decided I could probably do the Old Castle (though it would be a bit difficult with only 2 !o*Healing*, 2 !oSpeed and no !oHealing). The two Lesser Titans were easy, but in the middle of killing the second Greater Titan, a Zephyr Lord woke up and filled the place with Plasma, Gravity, and Inertia Hounds. Doh! Teleported, but now I was really unhappy, with no more !oSpeed. Killed a few random monsters on the left side, and found 1 !oSpeed among the drops. Decided to use that to charge head-first into the Raal's room, and that risk was rewarded with the third Death book, with which I then slowly cleared out the Z's.

Unfortunately though... I can't actually use the Jacket! It would make my armor too heavy and make me lose 3 speed and lots of AC and blows. If I removed the Shield instead, then not only does my Stealth goes down the drain, I also don't get the extra blow because I lose 4 DEX, which bumps me down one "natural" blow. Sigh...

Brand dropped his namesake in Angband 56, and that sped things up a bit (no pun intended).

Jisisl was also pretty easy, and dropped another Xbow granting +3 Speed CON and WIS, and RConf and RChaos. Pretty good, but unlikely to see action.

And I really need to find my !oConstitution. My character's max is 18/130 here, and I'm only at 18/44 >_<

VERY VERY nearly got killed in the Dragon's Liar, when I found a greater vault with something like 20 uniques in it. Managed to off Dworkin, Vlad Dracula, Jack of Shadows, and a couple lesser ones, but Ancalgal the Black summoned high dragons, and pretty soon there were something like 5 Sky Drakes and 5 Great Wyrms of Space-Time. Entered into the level with like 6 !oHealing and 4 !oRestoreMana and maybe 40 ?oTeleport, realized I might be in trouble when I was down to about 2 !oHealing and 10 ?oTeleport. A streak of stubbornness made me kill Dworkin despite being in rather unfavorable circumstances, but then 2 Great Wyrms of Balance + a number of other D's made me decide I should teleport out rather than check for the Jewel of Judgement >_< My CON also kept getting reduced, and I hadn't brought any source of Restore CON, so I was down to about 630HP max from about 800. Finally, a large area I cleared out earlier, that I teleported into a huge number of D's respawn, and chain breathing took me down to about 150HP. Since I was still much faster than them, I decided my last remaining !oHealing, and then Teleport.

After I teleported, I found to my dismay that a Great Wyrm of Space-Time had followed me. He clawed me a few times, and I was down to under 100 HP. At this point, I was like, "Oh, shit!" With no !oHealing left, I was really worrying. I know they're immune to Teleport Other, so the Rods were out. At under 100HP and the entire level littered with D's, chances of insta-death were entirely too high. Finally, I remember I had the Vampiric Drain spell, which could heal for 80-160. I casted that, and it boosted me to Full hunger status (i.e. so I can't do it again), but also boosted me to above 200 HP. Then I either got a double-move, or the Wyrm failed a spell, because I managed to teleport out without him doing anything. I landed in a relatively safe room with 2 Great Wyrms of Law. Teleported both of them away, and then recalled back to town.

Damn, and not even a single artifact to show for that tour-de-force, not to mention huge amounts of resource drainage..

(for posterity purposes, I'll start labelling post clvl and dlvl)

The above was [Clvl] = 40, [Dlvl = 70]

If a monster follows your teleportation, then it is NOT resistant to Teleport Other spells. Like, Lords of Change, Great Wyrms of Space-Time, Nodens...

On top of that, (non unique-) monsters that resist teleporation CAN be teleported if they fail a saving throw (if monsterlevel < rand(100)). Not really an option in your situation, but still nice to know. Uniques with resistance to teleportation can never be teleported, nor can metal babbles.

Thanks for the comments. I guess I got confused between Space-Time Wyrm and Spectral Wyrm from previous experiences.

Wandered around Dragon's Lair some more (careful to carry ?oTeleport Level this time--it was pure hubris that I didn't previously), and found an interesting item off Narse that I haven't ever seen before--the Mirror. It gives Reflection and ESP, and is also quite light at 5.0 lb, so I decided to use that to replace the shield I've been lugging with me since dlvl 8. This means, practically, that I can retire the Palantir if I manage to find Laputa or Jewel of Judgement.

And I just found out something very disappointing... you can't Double-Attack with a weapon! >_< There goes my super-awesome plan of double-attacking with the Stick of the Halfheart for 16 blows. Man, now I feel silly for taking Lazy personality.

Also started playing the pets recently, when three Capture Balls were on sale in the General Store. Captured a Great Wyrm of Law, and then managed to continually trade up, until I got the Sky Drake. Once they chain summon, it gets really SP intensive though--I don't think I can handle more than 3 pets at a time without my SP going to 0. :/

Also, has anyone else noticed that +ToHit, +ToDam, and +Attacks from Rings only count, if it's on the Right Finger? This means that my awesome RoExtraAttacks (+2) can't be used simultaneously with a RoSlaying, or even a RoPower (well, not for the slaying on them, at least). How do other people get around this?

Hm, didn't know that, but it would explain some quirks i've seen with rings in the past. I guess you'll have to go with just one, picking the ring that is better overall.

If you are wearing a shield (You are!), then the ring on you shield side will not count for combat (+To Hit, +To Damage, +Attacks, etc.). Take off your shield if you want both rings to count ...

Same thing goes if you are dual wielding. The ring on you left hand counts towards the weapon in your left hand, the ring on you right towards the weapon on your right.
