I thought I might try a cyclops, since I've never played one before. They have huge strength, huge con, huge hit points, huge fighting ability ... and not much else. The poor -3 dex hurts early on. I started with 2 attacks, and at CL19 I still had 2 attacks, despite an 18/186 str. Golly, what does it take? Apparently, a wee bit more than an 18 dex. I picked dex at CL10 and CL20, and the CL20 finally boosted me to a 3rd attack. Too bad on 5 random rolls going to charisma, though.

So, being a samurai, and having a somewhat slow start, I could not resist seeking out Ishikawa to see if he had his katana. It only took a minute or so to find him, and wind blast plus a potion of speed was enough for me to gain some really awesome fighting prowess.

And then, with a mere 300hp or so, with base 0 speed, marginal detection, I head to stat gain. 2 hours or so without any potions, and I am getting frustrated. But then last level gained Thranduil (telepathy is a huge must for me ... I'm not sure why, but it really increases my enjoyment of the game), my first stat potion (Int) and then quickly on its heels, my second stat potion (Str). Maxing out my strength gives 4 attacks, but I need greater than 18/100 dex for the 5th and final blow, and that might take a while. I'm pretty sure my innate dex is 18/70, so we'll have to wait until after the cloning pits at least.

Now, I've done a fair amount of complaining about vault frequencies. But this character did not share my last character's experiences. I found a fairly big vault on DL20, but it was shallow enough that there was nothing I could not handle inside. Also, I've been keeping the levels small, and I think that does make a difference.

But now, things are about to change. The level is special. The vault is large. The RNG knows it plans to kill me, because it just dropped the freakin' 3rd Kendo book. Hello! Lightning Eagle makes my damage output ... oh ... 858hp/round?? I'm probably gonna need it!

Death post to follow ...

Houston, the eagle has landed!
Jurt the Living trump ... could kill me in 2 rounds. The eagle squared that away. Carving with a lightning brand is special. The queen ant ... doh! ... well, I have 12 teleport other. A greater basilisk? doh! well, I led him out and he stayed put. A baron of hell? doh! 2 plasma bolts would kill me, the baron is fast, and I am slow. Too bad, the eagle has landed! Dead! Archpriests and Ancient Dragons? No problem. Giant Cockroaches? Well, no way I can handle that! They just breed and breed and breed. Though I did notice that they failed to pick up that crossbow (Lightbringer) and that augmented chain mail (Caspanion). Got perseus as well. And !Str and my first !Con.

Sweet :)

I really don't understand this ... my last character got vaults consistently for most of the game. Probably, a vault on 70% of all levels over all. This character just found the 3rd vault of the game, and that's 1.5 hours after the last one. I probably did 100 levels in the mean time, as I would just recall once the level feeling kicked in with "Boring!". What gives. 70% -> 1%?? Both characters kept the levels big. This character is in Anband while my other guy was in the castle, but so what? Can't seem to find many uniques, either. Probably 40 remaining at this depth, and I find one ever 2 hours or so. Bizarre ...

I'm starting to remember why my characters skim the dragon's lair. This is incredibly boring :(

In early, out of boredom. My last character dump had a con of 18/120. I then found 2 !con, and had a con of 18/154. Then, I got scrambled by nexus. At least I picked up my base 16 chr rather than my base 11 int. But, I figured it would take about 20 hours at stat gain to repair that damage, so I gathered everything I could, swapping my con rings for levitation and confusion resistance, and swapping Caspanion for Arvedui. I'll lead with my power (Zantetsuken) and swap Sting for the ants.

I just gained a foothold and quickly found Faramir, which makes me wish I had brought a swap ring of damage or con. We'll see how it goes from here. Getting stats scrambled by nexus usually means I suicide the character, as stat potions are so incredibly rare. I might as well die in the cloning pits ...

[CL37:Old Castle] 09:32:10
The Cloning Pits ended up being a breeze ... There was a Dreadmaster by the queen ants, and he summoned a summoning demon, but all was quickly dispatched. I had a much harder time in the Vault trying to get Sting, where every single monster in the quest mobbed me at once. Weird. The big take home prize was Amber from one of the Gachapin clones ... I'll be playing without telepathy for a bit :)

Then, I trained my dual wielding a bit, using a Diamond Edge and Zantetsuken. I'm still only a beginner, but blessed and heroic, I can hit fairly well. I guess being a big slow cyclops has its uses after all.

And then, its the Old Castle, with something like 470 hp and an AC 100 or so, I'm single round death meat for those greater titans. Too bad neither one manager to touch me! I confused the first successfully, and easily killed from a distance. The second resisted, stepped next to me, and received 8 stars worth of lightning eagle damage. Yowzers! He then did nothing, so a double move for Polyphemus, and another twin slash of pure lightning power. We won't being seeing that titan any more ...

Things are looking more cheerful now, but my hp are still laughably low (497). Geez, my little hobbit samurais usually have 700 hp by now ...

Super duper mega death vault of total annihilation!!! Screenshot attached. Well, if the RNG is going to throw Cantoras at me after its valiant attempts to bore me to death have failed, then I'm gonna play dirty as well. I cheezed the vault with earthquake blow ... But that still left Ulik and Gerard as uniques, neither of which I want to stand next too. I tried shooting Ulik with my awesome ammo, but he got next to me. I thought, what the heck, he won't kill me in a single round? Or will he? He double moved me (well, he is +20 speed and I am +12), landed 4 of 6 blows, and sent me down to something like 90hp. That was that, and I left him alone! So I lured Gerard and Ulik out of the vault while I dashed in. I finally missed an artifact as well (Orcrist) as they both found their way back inside to pester me. Having found Luthien (!) I decided enough was enough.

Now, I'll wear that Con ring after all, thank you very much. And Caspanion as well. Since Luthien came with shards, I now resist everything and will carry Colluin as a swap item. Sort of like a rod of resistance :)

+6 to my Con pushes me from 487 to 607. Maybe that will help? And my AC vaulted from 100 or so to 114. That still sucks :)

I'm starting to roll now. Once I got my con going, the game stopped being stingy about it and even offered me Cambeleg as a form of apology. I'm feeling really powerful at the moment, which means I better take a break. Go, samurai!

Nice dual wield combo. That's pure class right there.

"Lightbringer" is a high randart... I've found it once before as a Great Axe and it was really quite good (5d4, +1 atk, slay everything and a nice +19 damage, activated for banishment). I still think of it as that axe but it's nice too see that it found its way into your kit :)

Do artifacts recharge in your inventory? I was under the impression that they didn't, but I haven't tested it in Heng...

My one objection to samurai (and archers, too), is they all seem to play the same viz-a-viz there primary offense. My samurai's always dual wield the katana kit ... there's simply not much else that can compare in terms of pure power. Zantetsuken, while not a gimme, is nearly so. And Aglarang? What a gimme. Only the monk's Shiva's Avatar compares as far as Old Castle rewards go. There is one exception, and it is rare. But I will want to use Chainsword if I can find it ... And for archers, its always Bard with seeker arrows. I've done bolts before, but you only get about 60% of the power (which is still alot) as you otherwise would with the standard play. Still, even though my samurai is playing familiarly, the pure power of this kit is astounding (when it works, which is often). Lightning Eagle adds nearly 100hp per strike, so my damage output is more like 2000+, but dual wielding accuracy cuts that back to a mere 1200-1400.

Yes, "Lightbringer" is very nice. Even Brand's crossbow is sitting on the shelf as it fails to measure up. I've stopped shooting though ...

Artifacts do not recharge in your inventory. You need to wear them. Colluin recharges somewhat quickly, so I can gain more than one shot of double resistance by swapping and waiting for it to charge. Eventually, I'll need to switch to potions.

My equipment is pretty much the same since last time ... I'm just a bit deeper and a bit higher level. Still many many uniques to go, and I'll just hang out at this depth killing them as I see them. I'm getting tired of playing without telepathy as I need to detect ferocity every other move or two to make sure I don't get ambushed by something really nasty. Samurai's require advance notice when fighting, if for nothing other than charging up their mana.
