10:47 my experience is that "burdened" already makes you lose AC 10:47 I believe ya - I just can't duplicate it. 10:49 control r for a screen refresh? 10:49 qq - if I have a burnt sack - IIRC you have to wield it and then read ? of EW to make it hale - does that sound right? 10:49 yes, while confused 10:50 ah, that's the ticket.  and if my sack gets "burned away" does it lose all its contents?  Or do they just fall to the ground?

10:53 I have " of flying and = of lev 10:53 if you wear one of those your sack won't get burned even if you get pushed onto a lava square 10:53 so being over the lava is not the issue.  The sack burning and me losing all in it is the potential problem. 10:53 I know, but the only way that'll happen is lava I think 10:54 Ok, I was concerned that being over the lava would be hot enough to burn away my sack. 10:54 no, it's just water walking over lava that burns inventory; lev and flying is ifne 10:54 Hmmm, that could be a newbie trap to install - the guy who greases his sack finds it getting burned when next to or over lava, perhaps?  Evilhack indeed! 10:55 heh 10:55 water walking - that's what I was trying to figure out.  Makes sense - you're higher with other means of levitation. 10:55 ... higher up in the air .... 10:55 :) 10:56 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 10:56 if a container is destroyed, the contents fall out 10:56 dbanethacker: dwarven (iron) and elven (wood) shields have the same base AC (in Evilhack).

12:04 I've heard of doing things on the DL but never the DM.  Do tell.... 12:04 direct message 12:04 or PM (private message) 12:04 same thing 12:04 Ah, gotcha.  Thanks for the clarification! 12:10 IIRC as a Val if you do your quest you don't get MR or anything of value needed to proceed deeper in the game, right?  Perhaps a bit of strength and fire resistance from the giants, but otherwise is there any need to do the quest ASAP ? 12:11 Yes you get the Bell of Opening but you don't need that until the end game, practically.  It doesn't confer MR, so I'm thinking of delaying my completion of the quest. 12:11 Any thoughts from the peanut gallery? 12:13 half physical damage, plus you can use it to scare most monsters 12:13 level tele, warning 12:13 acts as a luckstone 12:13 i'd go for it 12:14 Hmmm, those are valid points.  Thanks for that! 12:14 can you use it to wake demon lords too?

12:29 you prob arent 100% cold res intrinsicly 12:29 oh as a valk 12:29 huh 12:29 did you tangle with any gremlins at all? 12:32 Not that I recall.  I get it every time. 12:32 (the message) 12:32 I checked with a ! of enlightenment and it says that I'm 100% 12:33 what are you wearing 12:33 hah that sounds bad 12:33 'so ahhhh... whatcha wearing?' 12:33 another qq - does the quest leader for Valks stand on an altar?  It seems that for some other classes they always have an altar on their quest leader level but I don't think so for valks. 12:34 but seriously what gear are you wearing that could give cold res 12:34 speed boots, shirt, plate mail, cloak of protection, helmet, mithril gauntlets, mithril shield, 12:35 yeah, no gear except white dragon scales gives cold res., right? 12:35 yes 12:35 take that off 12:35 then zap enlightment again 12:36 Hmmm, no / of enlightenment and out of !'s of enlightenment. 12:36 Let me take it all off and eat another fire ant. 12:37 you mean frost salamander 12:37 or a winter wolf 12:37 i think you lost cold res somewhere along the way 12:38 on my test box, valk eats frost salamander corpse, no 'you feel warmer' msg 12:38 Oh right.  Yeah - I'm not on Kate's level - I'll try that when I get there.  I'm near my quest leader at the moment. 12:39 K2: this reminds me... if a demon drops my fire resist to 50%, can I use a ring of fire protection to get 100% while I wait for their spell to timeout? 12:39 Hmmm, maybe I'm confusing it with the fire intrinsic not the cold one. 12:41 I think I tried that and was still feeling the heat of gehennom. 12:41 "you are roasting alive" 12:41 yeah the vulnerability spell overrides everything else 12:41 the effect is temp 12:42 eeeeevil 12:46 -!- Loggers_VIII has joined #evilhack 12:46 @e?earth elemental 12:46 Loggers_VIII: Message from dbanethacker at 2023-05-16 11:56 EDT: You must be on the east coast?
