Coming back to dabble in the Angband after previous attempts to dabble. I nearly fell off my chair when I picked up red DSM and a weapon of westerness at 450'. Maybe I'll actually get to the midgame this time!

I'm officially deeper than I've ever been before. Took me forever to find the darn Phial, but I got over it when the Bow of Bard turned up on the same level. Still diving super slow though...

Learned a very important lesson: never treat any battle with an enchantress (or any summoner for that matter) as anything less than life-threatening. The little minx dropped a few Ds on me and I was dead so quickly that my 40% HP warning never even got triggered.

Poor little Nelen.

Yeah- summoning is a bit out of control in V. I think the assumption is that you're going to use ASCs. I don't use them, generally, as I think they're kind of cheap. But if you're not using them you have to be very careful about summoners. Enchantresses are dangerous for that reason, particularly if you aren't fast.

Your level was high enough that you could cast Haste, and you have !Speed. Why didn't you haste before fighting her? Enchantresses are definitely worth fighting, as they have the DROP_GOOD flag, but you have to prepare for the fight. It's also important to choose the ground that you fight on so that not too many summons are going to be able to have LOS on you- i.e., don't fight a dangerous summoner in the middle of a big open room.

It's always really hard to know exactly what happened from a death dump, but I suspect you could have fought her pretty safely if you'd prepared a bit differently.

I think you pretty much nailed it, aeneas. I knew she was nearby, but I blundered into her without preparing properly and didn't realize how much trouble I was in with my guard down. I'd only fought one enchantress previously, and although it was a spirited battle, it wasn't particularly taxing. To top it off, I wasted a couple of rounds fighting her after she summoned 5 Ancient Dragons thinking I could take care of her and still make my escape. And because I hadn't fought many summoners in general, I had no idea how quickly a battle like that can get out of control.

In retrospect, I should have tried to either teleport her away with the wand or teleport myself out, pick a better battle location, and properly haste myself beforehand. Like yourself, I'm not thrilled with the idea of using ASCs to defeat summoners. But if the alternative is to drown in a sea of evil? I'll dig them.
