(clevel:22, dlevel: 21) Made it up to 23, but an un-IDed potion proved to be lose memories and then the shadow drake in the arena drained him further, and its now been two days in a row without a single restore life potion in any town shop. The scroll of acquisition produced Thranduil, so a little exp drain is a small price to pay.

Got that sword of *slay* orcs very early in the yeek cave. He's since run into just about every orc unique and chopped them to pieces. Despite a pretty good bow, he's mostly using melee so far because great DEX and STR gains have him at 5 blows/round already.

Whoa... that's a nice Acquirement reward! I got... Sword of the Twilight :-P Not utterly useless, but nearly so.

What spells in Daemon are you looking at? Explode Pets? You don't get Polymorph Demonlord..

Well, I did consider the idea of summoning hoards of maneses and then detonating them all to be amusing, but I figure melee and archery will probably provide enough offense for the end game. And while not getting polymorph demonlord is a shame, polymorph demon is still pretty spiffy.

No, the real reason I took Daemon was for the rNether and rTime spells, handy things you just can't get anywhere else. With rTime, I might actually have the guts to tackle the Unicorn if I make it that far. Plus, doubled rNether just seemed like a nice thing to have. Finally, Devilish Eye would have been a nice source of temporary telepathy, though Thranduil's made that moot. It was Daemon or Trump and I just felt like going with Daemon.

(clevel:30, dlevel:25) After a few close escapes in the Dragon Lair, Greenthumb ran into a pack of Olog who were kind enough to drop the 3rd Nature book (plus Hithlomir, which might get used in the near future). Thus encouraged, he scummed the Dragon Lair entrance for Ishikawa Goemon. Goemon fell to arrows and phase door scrolls, but he failed to deliver Zantetsuken, making him the second unique to fail to drop his personal artifact (the first being Hagen who popped up during the Vault. A beholder was there as well, which was a bit frightening, but its bark was worse than its bite).

Nearly as aggravating was that while checking out the BM before scumming for Goemon, a no-dachi of slaying (9d4 and vorpal, but no poison) showed up, but it had crummy pluses (like +4,+2) and I was about to go get Zantetsuken, so why bother buying it? Grrr.

Shortly afterward a trifurcate spear of melting showed up in the BM and it did quite a bit more damage than Sting against anything lacking rAcid. Casting caution to the wind, Greenthumb equipped a second ring of damage and went down to dlevel 24, getting Gachapin.

Greenthumb pinned Gachapin in an anti-summoning tunnel (with its retreat cut off by a bunch of gnome mages) and hammered it with the trifurcate spear. Gachapin taunted Greenthumb, but with stoneskin Greenthumb's AC was over 120 and Gachapin couldn't land its steal attack and thus get away. Eventually the obnoxious lizard fell, dropping a couple minor weapon artifacts plus an exceptional parting gift.

On its final turn, Gachapin breathed chaos (which Greenthumb doesn't resist) giving Greenthumb a mutation - grow mold! Maybe its my ToME background, but I consider grow mold to be the most fun mutation you can get. Mold, mold everywhere! HA HA HA!

On 3.9.2005 00:12 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel:31, dlevel:25) Feeling giddy from the relatively easy win over the Gachapin on dlevel 25, I decided to go after the Cloning Pits next.

It generally started out... fine. The monsters didn't roll over and die, but they weren't horrible either, and I had detected 5 of the 6 randoms and the worst was an archpriest, which isn't great but is certainly manageable.

Gachapins summoned and one got out, but it was dealt with, the Dagons were trouble when Greenthumb failed to cast true resist twice in a row and didn't have doubled rPoison against them, but otherwise were ok, and the ITs could have been horrendous since I forgot to bring see invisible, but they went down fairly easily. Even got 2 of the Ant Queens painlessly when they flew over a chasm to get to Greenthumb.

Sadly, the final random monster has proven to be Ghatanothoa and while he's no Jack of Shadows, he's pretty tough. Everything else is dead except a Fasolt who is hiding somewhere and the last Ant Queen whose summons are locked in an epic struggle with Ghatanothoa, and are at least keeping him pinned down.

Resources are running a bit low as well, and if the archpriest hadn't thoughtfully dropped a staff of speed, I'd be out of haste. Hmm. This is going to be tricky. Boy, I wish I'd gone with Trump now. Swap position would be pretty handy about now...

Whoa... not even a Swap for RChaos? How did you manage to beat the Jurts then? I had a heck of a time with them even with +3 base speed and a Swap for a Defender with RChaos, needing to eat up 2 !oHealings.

On 3.9.2005 00:35 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Ok, rounded up that missing Fasolt and since the last two beasties are pretty much pinned in, Greenthumb went through the various dropped goodies to see if anything useful was lying around.

A resounding yes! The Cloak of Jack of Shadows, Faramir, the Axe of the Dwarves, Mjollner, and perhaps best of all, a copy of Trumps of Doom! Greenthumb plans on equipping Jack of Shadows, Faramir, and the Axe of the Dwarves.

Then switching his second school to Trump (good thing he saved a "learn"), learn swap position, power up, and swap in and whack Ghatanothoa while we're surrounded by ants so he can't summon. Won't stop him from breathing, so I'll just have to hope he sticks to his already painful melee. I'm gonna have to ponder this for a bit first.

On 6.9.2005 16:21 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel: 33, dlevel:26) Carefully planned out my strategy, and then realized that since Ghatanothoa can walk through walls, it was much easier to have him come to me. First, Greenthumb beat up some fire ants to get his skill in lochaber axe at least up to beginner, then he lured Ghatanothoa into the fight. Hasted, heroismed, holy chanted, stoneskinned, and surrounded by summoned mold, Greenthumb surprised me by spanking Ghatanothoa. Only had to use the 1 healing potion (saving the 2 *healing* potions for later) and the most stressful part of the battle was when Ghatanothoa would blink away, being fearful it would summon a Greater Balrog or something in response to all the fire ants. Fortunately, its summoners were managable: a lesser balrog, a goat of mendes, and a couple barons of hell. The barons actually caused the most trouble because they and the balrog all stuck together and resisted teleport, so I couldn't use swap position to spread them out. Cost both potions of *healing* but they were finally dealt with. After that, the queen ant was trivial, as was the great ant mopup that always ends the Cloning Pits. Overall, it was a tougher fight than I expected, but the Cloning Pits have certainly been worse. A Gachapin getting out and REALLY going to town with hydra summoning could have been worse.

DOH!

Dead to the Lernaen Hydra on dlevel 50 (Greenthumb killed Kukuo on dlevel 38 and Nappa on dlevel 44, both fairly easily). Classic mistake of 1 more round. "Yeah, he's a little beat up, but if I squeeze one more round out here before healing, I can probably save a potion for the battle", followed immediately by "Lernaen Hydra breathes gas, Lernaen Hydra breathes fire. Dump the screen? [y/n]?"

What is it with me and Rangers? I just can't seem to keep them alive for some reason.

LOL

I just read your character background Elliot - very funny.

I usually like to change the text in there there as well - helps me believe in the persona a bit more.

Sorry this guy died - You've had a bit of a bad run lately (as have I - I just haven't posted them all). My monk seems to have gotten past the hump my last dozen or so have all failed at (lvls 28-35) so here's hoping I don't decide to just "squeeze out one more round" against something dangerous....
