First game where I've been fortunate enough to get some early speed drops. I suppose it's the RNG's way of making up for the fact that I haven't seen a single speed potion after 300k turns...

I'm probably still not diving fast enough, but I've really hit a wall around 2300' without speed gear the last few games. Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm not preparing properly.

Hopefully, the RNG won't read this post and kill me off in the next few hundred turns. ;)

And of course the RNG read this post and decides to taunt me with BoS+7 in the shops now for a mere 350k. :(

Congratulations on getting Orome! If you look long enough, you might get Deathwreaker as I did in LCC1 on ladder. Until then, you will be hard pressed to find a better weapon, except maybe Ringil...

Managed to find a few more things the doctor ordered: a lovely shield of Elvenkind, Thranduil, an a nice pair of BoS+3. Hands down the best character I've ever had, which means it's only a matter of time before I do something stupid. :)

Almost bought it in a fight against Lorgan...who decided to bring in Ulfang...who decided to bring in Kavlax and Uvatha. They dropped me to 1HP before I could get out of that scrape. :/

LCC - This is the first time I've ever found Orome, and I have to say it is my new best friend. :D

Probably twice as far as I've ever been before - but clearly spending too much time dragging stuff back to town...

Found my first lesser vault ever on dl49 and naturally it was full of industrial-strength nasty. Against my better judgement, I decided to have a go at it. Must have been feeling my oats after tackling Smaug earlier on the level. Even with double rFire, I nearly lost it all after three rounds of battling The Phoenix. Decided to _*Destruction* the Vault to pieces instead of trying to tackle it head on at that point. I can see why some folks feel it's a little cheesy - I'd rather see permarock stop the blast wave, but I guess you get into some complex situations if you detonate it from within the vault. Maybe just use the same algorithm for LOS? I'm more experienced players have argued this one already. :)

So excited about this character, I feel like I should shelve her and play another one before I make a mistake. I know how to assess the threats I've encountered so far, but I don't know what's waiting for me further down. I feel like my inexperience as a player will be the death of Melonwe...

My instincts are telling me that this is a really good kit and that I should dive harder...

Aaaaaand my own stupid mistake has been the death of Melonwe. Ran into Gorlim and thought I could handle him at range. ("He's just a warrior. Should be no problem if I outhaste him.") Got in trouble, used Phase Door but didn't clear LOS. Then, instead of doing something /smart/ like ?TS or -TO, I thought I'd just quaff a potion and stay in the fight.

Adding another item to my list of Angband guidelines:

If you're in serious trouble, don't use Phase door if you have Teleport self. Don't use Teleport self if you have Teleport other.

What an untimely death. :(

Read mon-info spoiler and check every monster until you are familiar with the game. You were way outclassed in that fight...

Personally, the mon-info spoiler is one of the ones I prefer not to read. If I get in over my head against a unique, it serves as a much better lesson the next time around. ;)

But in retrospect? I was /way/ outclassed. :(
