Yeah, well, it's a horrible character, but it was a request, and when have I been known to back down from an insane concept?

Artifactless hermit yeek warrior. No quests. Manwe worship.

Fate has been kind to me so far; I've managed to steal two (!) things from the Black Market, not an easy feat with a DEX of 7. And a Forest Troll in the wilderness gave me an ego-dagger! Now, armed with a spectacular two blows a round, I'm surely the mightiest Yeek the Orc Caves have seen since... well, whatever Yeek was there last.

Will Orf succeed and attain fame and fortune, or live up to his name and die horribly in the very near future? Stay tuned!

Argh, the double-post again!

Blah, got paralyzed and instakilled by something in the Orc Caves. Didn't even see what it was, probably a Spectral Warg or something. Hmph. That was anticlimactic.

Will try again with the same character...

OK, second attempt. My good items are gone, but I'm still ready to rumble. Mark my words: this Yeek will bring the world to its knees!!

Ah, at last, I do not suffer alone!

Ahem. Yes. Try Ironman rooms. Then at least you will never miss your good items from the last incarnation. Of course it alters a bit the list of quests needed for winning - "1. Kill the Necromancer. 2. Find Staff of Wish", but that's not really any more hopeless than this ;)

Anyway, good luck. You'll need it. Lots of it.

Well, Orf is doing a little better now (Yeeks level *fast*!)... found a dungeon market in the Orc Caves and nicked a nice ring from it (and was subsequently booted out of the potion shop for trying to do the same with a potion of augmentation). Wormtongue gave me a new weapon as well; it's not great, but will do for the time being.

I'm playing this character in a much more munchkinnish fashion than I'm used to--lots of stealing, lots of running away, but hey, such is the way of the Yeek...

Did the first relic quest (with the help of potions of Enlightenment). I hate, hate, hate, HATE the Manwe temple, especially without See Invisible (which I really need!).

Can't wait until I get down far enough to find stat gain potions... but I'm not sure if I'll survive that long...

Also: I'm assuming that I can sell artifacts, just not use them? I haven't done so yet, but I really need gold ;)

Long version: Well, it's your game, it's not like someone (me?) will disqualify you or something. Anyway, I think that the point of this challenge isn't being a PITA in every possible way, but a test of battle resourcefulness.
Short version: Yes, you can sell artifacts ;)

For the record, I didn't use junkarts. Then again, Paths of the Dead with Ironman rooms just threw at me no less than 4 (four!) staves of Wish and tons of other magical trinkets, so I'd say it evens out ;)

Well, it's probably moot anyway, since this one just died in a god temple (a Q summoned a Master Vampire and an Ancient Black Dragon in the same round... what are the odds).

Attempt #3 will go with ironman and no junkarts (which I'd forgotten about... I guess it's still an artifact, even if it's... junk :P). I've never used ironman rooms before... wonder what it's like ;)

I think it will be quite an experience for the poor Orf to meet an ancient dragon on BD 1 ;) There are good sides however: 1. Relic quests are easier - relics tend to generate outside vaults, while monsters sit inside. 2. Staves of Wish are aplenty at the Paths of the Dead.

On 7.8.2006 22:52 lorddimwit@hotmail.com wrote:
Ohh, I see how ironman works now... :P That's a lot of vaults...

It would be tough if it weren't for the Sandworm Lair... And it would still be tough if Z monsters were still around and the Lair was full of Cthonians...

I guess this is going to be a vault-crawling character. Lots of sandworming etc. until he's tough enough to tackle the first level of the Barrow-Downs (ha!).

On 8.8.2006 07:02 lorddimwit@hotmail.com wrote:
Character doing somewhat better now... ;)

Been tromping through the last levels of Paths of the Dead looking for Staves of Wish, but no luck yet. Perhaps I'm not searching in the right vaults?

...anyway.

Still no luck after combing seemingly dozens of vaults. I did find an Adamantite Rod of the Istari, though...

Getting frustrated with how slowly this character is proceeding. Going to prepare for a dive into Angband.

Hoom... well, maybe they're not that common after all ;] (or maybe I was more patient searcher then? Now I can't find any too...). Also, for some reason, not all vaults have staves. Those big and usually most wanted checkerboard ones for example never seem to sport any staves.

Anyway, I think you could try a flipped amulet of doom/crown of telepathy instead of AoTele/CoMight.

And yes, these are frustratingly slow progressers. They could use some more character levels. Like 20 more. ;)

Well, I'm more inclined to believe that it was a stroke of luck than anything... I've combed through a *lot* of vaults... hit a lot of piety drain traps... sigh...

Speaking of luck, none of the amulets of doom I've found seem to want to flip. AND all my staves just got drained by a Greater Balrog, and they exploded when I attempted to recharge them... ugh... got to take a little break...

This character isn't even close to being worth the heartache that he's causing me... But I won't kill him off, at least not yet. I do kind of want to find a staff, since I almost never get ahold of one in regular play...

OK, I'm putting this character on indefinite hold... I'm just not deriving any amount of enjoyment from the experience. I had more fun with that itemless Mindcrafter I played... which reminds me... i should try another of those... :P
