Pacifist? 05:09 permablind 05:12 [hdf-au] [evil] Arahael (Mon Hum Fem Neu) murdered her faithful freezing sphere, on T:33399 05:13 Hmm, that surprised me... Shouldn't that have resulted in the lava freezing? 05:14 you mean killing a freezing sphere over a lava tile? 05:15 Yes 05:16 Mind you, I did kill it with the only ranged option I had other than shuriken... A bolt of fire. 05:16 Yay! A giant with a boulder! Now I have something I can cross the lava with. 05:16 "It sinks without a trace". :( 05:17 yeah, it's only a 10% chance that the boulder will fill a lava tile 05:20 This one room in the temple of dagul is the last place I have explored. 05:22 Oh, wait... I can jump... 05:23 Yep, that worked nicely. :D 05:32 I htought reading destroy armour while confused would fooproof your armour? 05:32 (It didn't seem to change it at all) 05:34 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 496 points, T:2026, killed by a gnome zombie 05:34 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 29 points, T:81, killed by a falling rock 05:35 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha) performed her first genocide (giant eels), on T:176 05:37 Well, I'm stuck in this game, I need /something/, I'm seriously thinking of wishing up an amulet of flying - so that I can do the ice queen's quest safely. 05:37 And that's the only wish I'll have had in teh entire game. 05:37 Arahael yes it will. If you haven't fully ID'd your armor, you won't see the property, but it's there :) 05:38 musicdemon: I have fully ID'd my armour. 05:38 musicdemon: And infact, my boots have since then burnt away. 05:38 (So it definitely didn't) 05:38 !whereis arahael 05:38 musicdemon: [hdf-au] Arahael [evil]: (Mon Hum Fem Neu) T:35268 The Gnomish Mines level: 6 05:38 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 201 points, T:918, killed by a gnome zombie 05:40 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 77 points, T:303, killed by a kobold 05:41 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 50 points, T:345, killed by a falling rock 05:42 It fooproofed your eyes of the overworld 05:43 musicdemon: Oh, oops - I thought it only did that for *armour*. But it was already shatterproof. 05:43 I think I'll save the last scroll for a better armour. 05:44 wait, was your destroy armor scroll cursed, earlier? 05:45 the fooproofing only works for cursed ?oDestroyArmor 05:45 Ah! No, it was uncursed. 05:45 there ya go 05:46 Thanks.

Right beside the stairs is an arch lich, and a master mind flayer, and a nearby... A titan. 05:49 yikes 05:51 if you have a wand of tele and !oParalysis, you could go downstairs, wield the pot then 'F' on the arch lich to paralyze, then wand of tele the MMF and titan to another part of the level, while you focus the arch lich with attacks 05:52 I don't have the wand either. 05:52 (you'd also need free action, now that I think of it) 05:52 I've got free action, at least. 05:57 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 06:02 [hdf-us] [evil] musicdemon (Mon Cen Fem Cha) completed Sokoban, acquiring an amulet of magic resistance, on T:5626 06:02 musicdemon: I think my best bet is to do ice queen first, and wish up an amulet of flying for that. 06:03 Yeah, ammy of flying is never a bad wish 06:10 > In a cloud of smoke, a djinni emerges! The djinni speaks. "It is about time!" 06:10 *sigh*. 06:10 That was my one wish this game before the castle. 06:13 I guess lets see how the MMF and Arch lich with titan goes... 06:14 Oh, no, it's a... Yeah, I think I have to get out of dodge here. 06:15 It's a Silver dragon, leocrota, gelatinious cube, master mind flayer, zruty, demilich... 06:15 And a titan. 06:15 yeah, titan probably summoned some friends 06:15 It did. 06:15 I also got swallowed on the way down. 06:16 Down to 79(110), so I think I'm way out of my depth. 06:16 I think I'll go back up... Cast protection spells up the wazoo, then try once more. 06:16 yeah, escape is best option. Back up, if you're on upstair, or /oDigging 06:17 Oh, I forgot about /oDigging. 06:17 Isn't it no-dig? 06:17 -!- elenmirie has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 06:17 nope, it's diggable 06:17 but when you come back up, you'll be right in medusa's lap 06:18 That's probably a good strategy. 06:19 Oh, darn, just wasted my paralisis potions, forgot I had wielded it. 06:20 Oh, yeah, no wand of dig either. 06:20 No, I have dig. 06:21 Ok, lets see how I go! 06:21 Success! 06:21 Hmm, not sure where I am. 06:22 Did I mention I dont' have reflection either? 06:24 -!- amateurhour has joined #evilhack 06:24 MAGIC MISSILE! 06:26 how are you stocked for lizard corpses? You may need a few 06:27 I've just realised. That was... It. 06:29 yeah, you probably want 3 or so for the medusa fight 06:29 Yeah, I think I need to figure something out for that somehow. 06:29 So now rather than stuck above medusa, I'm now stuck below medusa. :D 06:30 Hmm... What if I polymorphed into a basilisk? 06:30 [hdf-us] [evil] musicdemon (Mon Cen Fem Cha) killed the Goblin King, on T:6295 06:33 basilisk could work, though it's kind of slow 06:33 I don't even need to move - medusa's right next to the stairs. 06:35 do you have potions of acid? Those can also be used 06:35 Nope. 06:35 It's a bit of a weird game 06:38 The only acid I had was what monsters threw at me. 06:39 A PRIEST!!! But I didn't bring any gold down with me when I exiled myself. 06:46 [hdf-eu] [evil] lacca (Con Ith Fem Cha), 7869 points, T:10650, killed by a bolt of cold 06:51 I suppose I might have to dig down from the castle, too. 06:51 Lava castle. 06:58 [hdf-us] [evil] post163 (Wiz Trt Mal Neu) performed his first genocide (tortles), on T:1 06:58 [hdf-us] [evil] post163 (Wiz Trt Mal Neu), 0 points, T:1, killed by a scroll of genocide 06:59 Oh, this a a Problem! No way to bring the drawbridge down! 07:00 Found it. 07:04 This is the most chaotic castle I've ever done :D 07:13 lava castle is the best -- super-easy to lure wraiths through 07:13 krm26: Good to know, except I have... Nothing. 07:14 Yeah, I'm dead. 07:14 why? lemme see 07:15 that is not a great position you've gotten into 07:15 drop scare monster 07:15 to at least get the dragon off your back 07:15 Just did! 07:15 or blow your horn 07:16 I've been doing that. 07:16 But the dragon has nothing else to do but attack so it's just lashing out - scare monster's helping with that at least. 07:16 you aren't reflecting? let the dragon swallow you, take off slow digestion. then you can dig it to death 07:16 and you can heal up in the dragon belly 07:16 No reflection. 07:17 Oooh, that's a good idea. 07:17 of course you'll need to get off the scare monster for that to work 07:17 the corridor is hugely bad with the liches having line of sight on you, better to go through the room above where you can break summon nasties line of sight 07:18 Ok, I can pray too. 07:18 Ah! 07:18 prayer looks good :-) 07:18 Well, how's that for cutting it finely? 07:18 Entirely. As. Planned. 07:18 dig will do 50hp damage 07:19 does like half damage from current 07:19 The dragon's vulnerable to fire, though... 07:19 yeah, dig would have done more 07:19 it would do less now of course 07:19 That doesn't make sense... 07:19 it cuts health in half 07:19 I think I can just bash it now. Ah! 07:19 yeah bash it 07:19 you want to get the heck out of there 07:20 strike that boulder and retreat 07:20 omigod you were at basic martial arts!? 07:20 Darn demiliches. 07:21 horn that elf 07:21 Surprised not even dig would break those boulders. 07:21 dig never breaks boulders 07:22 wand of striking is what you want 07:22 Ah, never had one. 07:22 no pickaxe? 07:23 dont do that!@ 07:23 those liches will nasty you in, you need to get out 07:23 you have gain energy for force bolt? 07:23 you have poly control for xorning? 07:23 I do! 07:24 xorn outta there or (imo) you are meat 07:24 careful, xorn is fragile 07:24 Can I cross lava safely as xorn? 07:24 no 07:24 and dont break your robe 07:24 you don't need to cross lava, there is a foot path 07:25 don't break your robe 07:26 Ok, so now I think I'm ready to quaff that potion and poly. 07:26 looks good 07:26 Just a moment of reflection how I got into this mess... 07:26 in future that corridor is bad if you aren't really powerful 07:26 you want to instead go up then through the soldier room 07:27 lets you pull everything out then deal with liches in a controlled environment 07:27 I had no striking, no acid, and no wishes this whole game. No reflection. No levitation... Medusa was titan+archlich+mmf, so I dug down from there. 07:27 sounds like you need to altar camp for a while 07:27 no shame in that 07:27 There is one altar, I'd have to kill the priest. 07:28 Because I can't yet get back up through medusa. 07:28 no altar, all the way to 26? 07:28 Unless I polied into a basilisk. 07:28 Well, no, because I'm currently stuck below medusa. 07:28 She's still alive. 07:29 [hdf-au] [evil] Arahael (Mon Hum Fem Neu) changed form for the first time, becoming a xorn, on T:43304 07:29 safe! 07:29 good job 07:30 I wonder if it's worth going to that > 07:30 Oh, but I can't heal in the catacombs... Can't I? 07:30 nope 07:30 Could I kill medusa as a xorn? 07:30 what you do is go to the stairs, descend, bait a wraith next to you, ascend, lure it to the castle stairs, ascend, kill it, gain a level, rinse and repeat 07:30 xorn does resist petrification, yes 07:31 Completely? 07:31 low hp tho 07:31 yes, completely 07:31 Hmm, that's a possibility then. 07:31 you'd be...disappointed...if it timed out on you of course 07:32 Right. I do have *one* lizard, but then, I wouldn't be wearing a robe. 07:32 you can avoid that lich by using the stone 07:32 if you want to ascend without messing with it 07:32 "stone"? 07:32 Ah, yes. 07:33 outside the room, come in from north 07:33 But this is the only altar i have access to. 07:33 gotta get a beefy pet to kill the priest...pegasus, vorpal jabberwock, arch-lich 07:33 Yeah, that's not happening. 07:34 you are making me nervous using extra rounds to wander around instead of going straight to medusa. what is the poly timer? like 400ish? 07:34 Ah, I'm thinking of poly'ing again after I've gotten my health and magic up. 07:35 I have a ring of poly. 07:35 ah cool 07:35 The poltion I kept just-in-case, and I figured time was of the essence! 07:35 only helps if you're wearing it when you unpoly next to medusa tho :-) 07:36 ... when I *unpoly*? With the ring? 07:36 polymorph control doesn't stop you from unpolying 07:36 I've never used the ring actually, but doesn't it only randomly help me poly? 07:36 it just lets you choose the form you poly to 07:36 Ah, no, I have a ring of polymorph control, and a ring of polymorph. 07:36 all polymorph is temporary 07:37 so your potion will wear off and you will revert 07:37 it is probably plenty of time i guess 07:37 Yep. Medusa still has her friend with her, too. 07:37 So I'm actually thinking basilisk is probably better. 07:37 basilisks are slow 07:37 Yes, but I only have to hit her friend, and medusa a few times, right? 07:38 i guess xorn is slow too :-) 07:38 :) 07:38 xorn has an actual attack, basilisk doesn't do much if it can't petrify you 07:39 i think medusa is immune to petrification except via her own gaze? 07:39 Well, medusa can be petrified. Her friend might not be, but the important thing is medusa. 07:39 Oooh!? 07:39 afaik 07:40 i mean, her touch (snake bites) petrify too, so makes sense 07:40 That makes it very tricky. 07:40 heh, you write messages in the dust to yourself? 07:40 you know you can leave notes on levels in the overview too right? 07:40 Yes... For this particular case. I've done that too. 07:40 Instadeathed here too many times. 07:41 so what exactly is with medusa? 07:41 I'm not sure, I was kind of blind! 07:41 well, if not humanoids you can scare and crush her then unblind yourself 07:42 But it's at least level 4. 07:42 You mean as a basilisk? 07:42 i meant as a xorn 07:42 do you have healing to back up your low health? 07:42 How do I "scare and crush", plus, I thought you said I was stoning resistant? 07:43 Not really, only spell. I think I need to recuperate first. 07:43 i mean, if there is other junk in there with her and you can't deal with it all at once, you drop scare monster and melee medusa to death 07:43 Good technique, but that works when I'm blind too? 07:43 ok, resting for spell power is great but remember you'll probably need to repoly. might want to take off free action for polymorph + control 07:44 scare monster shouldn't care if you are blind 07:44 but ineffective against humanoids 07:44 you trying to get malaria? 07:44 Trying to depoly. 07:45 ah :-) 07:45 i always throw a weapon in the air 07:45 or drop and pick up an alien quest artifact 07:45 Oh, that's probably sensible. 07:46 A pity that 'restore ability' doesn't restore skills. 07:48 gotta wait for the timer 07:48 Now I guess just wait for the ring to kick in. But hmm... You say Xorn, not Basilisk? 07:48 that is why wands and potions are nice 07:48 i don't know man 07:48 basilisks don't have hands 07:48 seems really dangerous 07:48 Ooh, so no cating. 07:48 *casting 07:48 you want access to wands, scrolls, potions 07:48 check failure rate with no robe 07:49 Healing's good. 07:50 3% fail. 07:51 My punches are pathetic. 07:51 I think I need to put slow digestion back on. 07:51 already swallowed 07:51 just kill it 07:52 heal, punch, heal 07:52 Awesome. Was worried it was one of those exponential attacks like when something's crushing you. 07:52 Oops. 07:52 you are your lizard! 07:53 Yeah :/ Part of it. 07:54 Unidentified wand is intriguing. 07:54 looks like I missed a lot, lol. How did it go with medusa? 07:55 You've missed a lot... And yet... Nothing at all! 07:55 Lets just say I'm still alive, somehow. 07:55 failure 07:56 Blegh. 07:57 I think I'll take off the eyes, put an amulet of MR on, and hten go up? 07:57 And perhaps put a towel on as well. 07:57 Just in case I depoly. 07:58 My HP is just 34, though, that can't be enough... 07:59 I think I'll go up, and take a peak at the friend, then decide. 08:00 remember, she has good ranged attacks with her bow, so yeah, 34 hp won't buy you much time 08:00 5 is probably an anaconda i guess? 08:00 could be worse tho 08:00 use /oFire 08:01 oh you're one of THOSE people 08:01 krm26: No, that's the medusa. COuld've sworn her friend was a 5, though. 08:01 there are two 5s there 08:01 krm26: Probably the archlich, or titan. 08:02 stethoscope it if you have the round 08:02 why did you dust your wand of fire? 08:02 that other 5 is a RUST MONSTER? 08:02 It's currently a 1. 08:03 i'm confused, there are two 5s to your right, one is medusa, you didn't scope the other one? 08:03 Yeah, I have to get out. 08:03 yeah, no harm in stair dancing a bit 08:03 There is only one 5 to my upper-right, and that's medusa. 08:04 i saw two 5s on my display, must be a spying bug 08:04 yeah, I see the two 5s, too. gotta adjust 08:04 so she can't one-punch you 08:04 go up, clock her, heal, clock her, heal 08:04 anaconda it is 08:05 That was a *3*. 08:05 Can't I phase out of it? 08:05 no sir, engulfed is engulfed 08:05 you can teleport it away 08:05 Ha. 08:05 you can genocide it 08:05 you can dig or knock out 08:05 I can't, unless... The unidentified scroll is teleport. 08:05 what is your knock failure? 08:06 *unientified wand, rather. 08:06 no, scroll won't work, just wand 08:06 21% 08:06 see this is why i was suggesting scare monster and then beat on medusa 08:06 Teleport is not yet identified. 08:06 Ah. 08:06 to minimize complications 08:06 what potions you got? 08:07 +oSlowDigestion 08:07 ring, I mean 08:07 lizard 08:07 think you have one more round before stone? 08:07 lizzzz 08:07 I think I probably have two. 08:08 as human i wonder if you can pop her for 18 08:08 not likely in one turn 08:08 Not one-shot, not with my pathetic punches. 08:08 then eat your lizard 08:08 I'll try punch, then see. 08:08 fingers crossed 08:09 sooo close 08:09 is your prayer timer up? 08:09 Not sure. 08:09 I think lets risk one last punch? 08:09 too bad you took that first bite of lizard already 08:09 go big or go home! 08:09 Exactly. 08:09 [hdf-au] [evil] Arahael (Mon Hum Fem Neu) killed Medusa, on T:44387 08:09 eat lizard! 08:10 yay! 08:10 nice 08:10 Woohoo! 08:10 take off that blindfold and see what is what 08:10 swap your rings, as well 08:10 yeah, free action/robe/slow digestion/eyes back on 08:11 robe will let you uncurse that ring 08:11 nice job with that xorn. I didn't think it would be durable enough, but it bought you enough damage before succumbing to the petrification 08:11 Yeah, but I have no power yet. 08:11 musicdemon: It was so damn close. 08:11 cakewalk to gehennom now! 08:12 Haha. 08:12 The scroll fell down the stairs too. 08:12 So... I think get my Pw back up... 08:12 now the hard part - dealing with the arch lich, titan, MMF, and friends 08:12 And then see what goodies are on the medusa level... It's so dangerious though because yeah. Exactly. 08:13 Medusa was less than 7% of my melee skill. :( 08:13 shield of perseus seems relevant, since you don't have reflection 08:13 shield of reflection is a pretty poor excuse as a monk 08:14 at this point the castle wand is feasible 08:14 just need to carefully do single-monster kills 08:14 it does reduce offensive power, but isn't having that property better than not having it? 08:14 eh 08:15 with all the elemental resists monks have, and with mr, reflection might not be better than big attack damage...your mileage may vary 08:16 The only thing that I worry about is the finger. 08:16 But normally no, shield's not worth it. 08:17 I'm not a grand master at the moment, though. if it were a small shield, it'd be worth it, but... 08:17 reflection isn't small. I might not hit at all with it. 08:19 I'm master again!!! 08:23 krm26: Thanks for the help. :) 08:24 musicdemon: I now have a shield of reflection. COmpletely random death drop. 08:24 any time! glad you made it! 08:25 Lets see if I can still fight with it. 08:25 I can - can still spin around and back kick the giant. 08:25 With a 66 aum gold shield of reflection. 08:26 NOt identified yet but it's polished, gotta be reflection. 08:26 Going to have serious food issues soon. 08:27 I have cancellation! 08:27 That might be good for titan and the other nasties. 08:27 yeah cancelling is great for nasties summoners 08:27 if you can overcome their mr 08:28 Multiple shots. 08:29 Stone golems are good practice for melee. 08:41 [hdf-us] [evil] elron (Mon Gia Fem Cha) had a helmet entrusted to her by Huan Ti, on T:3792 08:46 Ok, so I've cleared out *most* of medusa's level, except for ... that problematic room with the titan and the nasties. I think I should do the castle now instead. 08:47 yeah, agreed 08:48 There's a demilich in the castle, but that's just a demilich. 08:48 Not a 'plus mmf, plus titan'. 08:50 [hdf-us] [evil] elron (Mon Gia Fem Cha) had a pair of kicking boots entrusted to her by Huan Ti, on T:5483 08:53
