Holy #&Ł(! Now *that* sucked soooo much ass it was unbelievable. Thank goodness I had Taratol waiting back at home.

Perhaps some checks that should be made in some parts of the code aren't being made. It's rather dodgy IMO... On 13.4.2003 11:50 foxman111@hotmail.com wrote: Maybe in Vanilla. Maybe even in ToME (but I doubt it). But definitely not Hengband. It would never go easy on the player like that! Besides, realistically, is an artifact going to stand up to a pissed god? (Not counting Cthulhu, Nyarlothotep and other god or god-like uniques).

Obviously a very, very powerful trap, probably set by some deity. Nasty.

Darkgod (the unholy variant maintainer) has a VERY twisted sense of humour when it comes to these things. Technically, you could have just avoided the trap, since you obviously detected it. But levelling up? You can TRY and avoid it, but I don't know how. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I said that an artifact wouldn't stand up to an annoyed god - accurate, but not really relevant to a trap. Unless it was set by the Serpent of Chaos. AFAIK, ToME is an 'easy come, easy go' variant, where you can get randarts that add 40% to your HP, but there are Ringwraiths who can destroy artifacts by being attacked. I don't think Darkgod would have any scruples about adding a trap that destroys artifacts. He's as bad as Topi Ylinen. Dive a little deeper and you'll probably find one that destroys all your equipment! Seen 2218 times. |
