Not sure what number attempt this is at the comp char, but certainly the first to get anywhere! It is also my first proper attempt at a priest ever, so is a learning experience as I go. I've now made home in Gondolin and have recall points in 3 other towns as well as one in Amon Rudh ready for my first dungeon dash.

It has been a very slow game so far and not one for anyone concerned by turncount - the first few levels were very painful as hobbits suck at melee and Primula could not hit anything!

For the record, I've turned autoscum on.

I should add that the longsword has telepathy which has been a real bonus - and looking in the dump I have forgotten to stash the extra !speed I just bought back in my home. Oops.

No idea about Priest specialities except that I will want Heighten Magic later as I do with all full casters. Took Holy Light as it is a free resist and doing extra damage to evil sounded like a good thing. No idea if that was a wise move or not yet.

Nice kit given you haven't even hit Amon Rudh yet. I agree about the turncount - trying to get a Hobbit through Hithlaegir is hard enough, never mind much further - it's bless, hit, retreat , rest, and start again so far...

Not sure about Holy Light - it didn't seem to do much for my Paladin. I've taken Fury to a) make up for lack of a decent ranged attack when chasing flee-ers and b) help escape myself when out-whomped...

PS Well done on that last victory - getting close to lightspeed on those dives now...

On 14.3.2008 09:27 Psi wrote:
To be honest I never spend any time in Amon Rudh these days - the Wilderness is much more profitable. I tend just to dive straight to the bottom and set up a recall point ready for when I feel I can take Mim - which might be a little while with this character!

I've found some Elvenkind armour with rPois and rShards and a Shield of Night and Day - so my first column of resists are now covered. Also found a mace of *Slay* orc - which is a nice swap for my telepathy blade at this level.

Not a lot further on. I've set my Amon Rudh recall point down at AR29 and I've been as far north as SV40.

So much for that - triggered a summoning trap in a guardroom which summoned a hardened warrior and a mystic. They both got a move before my next turn leaving me half dead. I phased door out of the vault. Took one step and then the mystic acid-balled me from out of LoS - he must have blinked too and got a lucky shot away.

Very frustrating as that was a promising character. Still I guess Primula will walk again soon enough...

Ouch - I have a feeling that this char will be a "one mistake / unlucky bounce and you're dead" one...

(my latest Prim's still only just got past Andram)

LOL Nick - my next char has just killed Primula the Skeleton. Enhance Magic is a much better starting speciality than Holy Light - bless is much more effective and it is nice to haste to +13!

On 15.3.2008 13:20 Nick wrote:
Yes, my latest has taken Enhance Magic too. I've also got two +3 WIS items, so have nearly as much mana as HP.

Not sure what happens if you try and put the same comp character on the ladder under a different name, but here goes...

This char had a fantastic start finding the Elvenkind boots very early, but has been living on the edge ever since - always one step from death (and probably should have been dead several times!). After finding the HA, took down Mim with a wand of Drain Life and repeated OoD. I was then gutted to lose a 2d7 Whip of the Balrog to acid hounds whilst starting on my way to Nargothrond. Moments later night fell, so I began the suicide run to Angfauglith 58 (I kind of like the place since all my thrall adventures). I haven't been so nervous playing FA in a long time! Creeping through desert after desert hoping not to disturb anything, I eventually reached my goal (which is where I still am in taking this dump).

A hobbit's sustained Dex is great as I have been able to take down Death Quasits without having to worry about being left in a mess! I haven't found too much kit here yet (though the rod of perception and Ossiriand bow are very nice!), but the stat potions have been rolling in which is really going to help when I go back for Nargothrond. Packs of Vrocks are my staple diet again and I'm hoping for a drop of a dungeon book or two before I leave this little treasure trove.

Just after this dump I found an awesome hat - watch out for the Silver Crown of Asgard! Cold Immunity (via the 100% resist root), rShards, telepathy (!), regen, free action, rBlind and nFear. I then picked up the Robe of Lions which has rFire, rAcid, rPois, rDark, rBlind, Hold Life, Slow Digest, FreeAction and a vulnerability to cold - however as I already have ImCold and ImElec, I only lose the stealth and rSound (which is covered by my shield anyway) from my Elvenkind. Just picked up Rog too which would be great for the Con boost, but I need to keep Totila for the rConf for now. Took out Lokkak and Rogrog but ther is still no sign of any dungeon books yet.

On 9.4.2008 09:51 Psi wrote:
Well, what d'ya know... Ethereal Openings. So that's the teleportation book - should have guessed really. I was really hoping it was going to have ID in it - is that Godly Insights then? All I've done with priestly books before is squelch them.

On 9.4.2008 09:55 Psi wrote:
I think my boots back home may have rConf (can't remember though), but that would mean losing the small speed bonus. Nick, if I examine my boots through the artifact knowedge screen it does not show any of the powers even though I have *ID*'d them (same with any of my arts).

On 9.4.2008 11:04 Nick wrote:
Yes. Even with *ID* gone, I need to fix that.

I also need to find a way to make the game aware you're playing it and release some Pspecial monsters...

On 9.4.2008 11:30 Psi wrote:
You don't want to know how many incarnations of Primula there have been though to get one this far though. I can do the first level by heart now...

On 9.4.2008 11:36 Psi wrote:
Well Death Quasits seem to be hoarding !*Wis* at the moment, so I have nearly maxed that stat internally - I actually have more SP than HP now (and that is without the +4 HA).

On 9.4.2008 15:35 Psi wrote:
Swapped in my boots (which did have rConf) for the +3 speed loss. Realised that the robe also had elec immunity, so swapped in an Elvenkind Shield (rNexus) at the expense of rSound - which already proved its worth in a battle with a dreadmaster (don't ask - hadn't intended fighting it, but I did kill it and its friends). Swapped in Rog for Tortilla. Now up to CL33 HP309 SP262 Turncount 540k. Those HP really worry me though.

Decided to drop into Angband. Started next to a demon pit... foolishly decided to haste up and assault it with my staff of Holiness... managed to kill enough to gain two character levels before I tried a recharge and my staff was consumed. I was too overwhelmed by Balors et al to continue the fight so TL'd. Still it was a foolish yet rewarding exercise.

Continued the drop down and spotted Godly Insights in a vault on Ang68 - also containing Baphomet, Erata and various other nasties. Unfortunately I hadn't brought any means of tunneling as I hadn't intended visiting Angband yet (haven't even been to Nargothrond), so I bore my way in with Rog, TA'd Erata as he blinked next to me, grabbed the convenient -StM and used it on the next wall, then grabbed the book and ?TL'd before anything else could try and kill me... phew.

On 10.4.2008 07:38 Psi wrote:
Decided to continue exploring Angband and hit a GCV! Nothing to tunnel with of course as I hadn't planned on going into the dungeon at this point! Ended up tunneling into each cell with Rog and waking up everything with the time it took! Got lucky with 2 speed rings which meant I couldn't get double moved after tunneling in though plenty of things could have instakilled me if they breathed the right thing - they didn't. Cleared the vault (well TO'd it) for some nice stuff.

Been taking out demon pits for the XP. Last one yielded Purifications as well which was a bonus. Just found Olorin for maybe the first time which whilst not doing the same damage as Rog allows me to max my Wis.

Harowen just dropped the Necklace of the Dwarves! Only ever seen that in GCVs before - and rarely at that. Finally takes my HP over 600.

Tremble in fear - my latest Primula is cl10.

From small acorns, mighty oaks grow! If you can get Primmy to Angfauglith 58 soonish, then you have every chance.

I'm starting to think about my mate Morgy now. Having not played a priest before I'm not really sure how I should plan my offensive. With any half-caster I'd be meleeing. With a necro I'd be using Orb of Death. My druid winner used melee, but he found Ringil (I think). However poor Primula has big combat penalties from being a hobbit. From what I can tell the most powerful spell I can use (assuming I can find WoG) is Strike of Mandos - however that is quite expensive at 30SP. Thoughts?

On 11.4.2008 15:33 Psi wrote:
Spotted Wrath of the Valar in one of those nasty open diagonal vaults with a load of Aether hounds guarding it alongside The Lump of Flesh. Dug a hole in, TA'd what I could, then ran for it. The Q blinked, the Aether Hounds breathed, I grabbed the book and TL'd... spawning a few squares from an unguarded Wrath of the Valar... very funny RNG.

First thought - don't ask me for advice...

Well I just took down Lungorthin with a combo of runes, Lance or Orome, arrows and some melee to finish him off. I guess it will end up as a drawn out version of that. Thankfully just found the Shield of the Swan, so that brings things a step closer. I've also found Dal-i-thalion, which I'd really like to wear, but losing the +3 speed from the Elvenkind boots makes me a little nervous as that would leave me with only +14 perm. I guess I could bring in my speed ring for the ImPois ring - but that would leave me a little light on combat skill - I suppose I need to hope for a big =Warfare.

On 11.4.2008 19:35 pmac360@hotmail.com wrote:
If you find Wrath of God, you can use Orb of Draining. It does 171 dam/turn vs Morgoth, (assuming cl 50.) That's not bad, if you have Banish Evil, which teleports (almost) everything away.

After counting missed blows and extra healing, melee will probably be worse.

In any case, you need to accumulate !Restore Mana.... (10 is probably enough, if you keep your !Heal, etc)

Thanks Pete. That spell doesn't appear to be in FA though. In any case it has become academic. I didn't spot that Cantoras had been released off-screen (that's what you get from playing too hurriedly on a PDA). YASD.

Ow, that hurt. Still, that's an amazing turncount for this weak a character.

Bummer.
I just checked the source code. Orb of Draining is spell 2 book 3. I can't imagine killing Mim (or other evil midlevel uniques) without it.
Just 7 strikes to kill Mim...

Pete, I think "if you find Wrath of God, you can use Orb of Draining" may have confused Psi. It certainly confused me :)

Whoops. Dangling clauses strike again. I meant, it's tedious to kill M at 171 dam/turn, but if you have banish evil, it isn't particularly dangerous.


On 13.4.2008 19:49 Psi wrote:
Sorry, thought you must be referring to some upgrade on OoD in WoG. OoD in FA does 3CL/4 + 3d6 damage. So even against evil with Heighten Magic at max, that is only a possible (70*3/4 + 18) * 3/2 = 106 dam/turn - which really would be tedious!

I never did find !RM in that game either.
