00:02 How does the passive disintegration of black dragon scales work? Do mobs have a 10% chance of being disintegrated entirely if not immune? Or does whatever they hit you with have that chance? 00:12 I think it's whatever hits you. 00:12 I know 00:13 I'm questioning the effects 00:13 of what happens when they hit me 00:13 You asked an either-or question...? 00:13 So it's the weapon they hit you with? 00:14 I *think* so. I just remember that it was damned annoying whenever I had to fight either a black dragon or an NPC with black dragon scales. Don't know if that got changed actually. 00:14 I've fought plenty of mplayers with black dragon scales in melee, and never had anything bad happen 00:14 At one point it was possible to vapourise your dragonbane by smashing a black dragon with it. 00:14 yeah 00:15 I think it must've changed because I've done that a fair few times lately now. 00:18 I'm trying to make a gnome royal put on some black scaled CPM in wizmode 00:18 Maybe an angel will like it more 00:18 NPC's tend to wear them. 00:20 A convict just picked it up and put it in his bag 00:21 Even though he's waring no body armor, so +1 black scaled CPM would be a huge upgrade 00:21 I even cancelled him to make sure he doesnt have any more highly enchanted gear first 00:22 Shame this can't be tested 00:45 -!- Elenmirie_ has joined #evilhack 00:53 [hdf-eu] [evil] Imanity (Pri Gia Fem Law) polymorphed her first object, on T:50905 (12:48:14) 00:58 I need more amulets :( 01:47 -!- hackemslashem has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 02:19 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 02:41 -!- Demo has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 02:41 -!- Demo has joined #evilhack 03:07 -!- arahael_ has joined #evilhack 03:19 Is a potion of gain level valuable and worth keeping (If you're already XP 30)? 03:25 Nearly attempted to poly my magic key! 03:25 cursed gain level can be useful on the ascension run 03:27 I should put that into the magic chest then. 03:32 Very productive polypile session, got a whole bunch of new spellbooks, a bunch of new rings (including free action), an amulet of life saving, and an amulet of flying, out of all that. 03:33 Ooh, and a ring of levitation. 03:40 Now I don't need to don my -4 boots of levitation anymore! 03:40 \o/ 03:40 [hdf-au] [evil] Arahael (Mon Hum Fem Neu) just blew up her bag of holding, on T:51824 (23:50:25) 03:40 F 03:41 Put a wand of cancellation into the BoH instead of the magic chest. :( 03:41 Next time I think I'll put the BoH down first. 03:41 classic 03:42 I was being really careful too, even though I'm actually surprised this happened...

(Could you elaborate?) 05:38 As a convict, you get 100 turns before she turns hostile after beating her 05:38 she remains frozen in place 05:38 but if you overstay your welcome 05:38 you get to die :D 05:39 That's interesting! 05:39 Aye 05:39 More interesting than becoming invisible and tricking me! 05:40 Not having see invis is very problematic, especially without extrinsic telepathy or warning 05:40 I mean, yes, it was my fault, this is a game, but imagine her thought process. Not particularly good standing, is she? 05:40 xD 05:47 Well that was just unlucky.

Curious. Gift of speed. 06:24 Kathryn escaped!? 06:26 I think I have my last turn. 06:26 what's happening? 06:26 Ooooh, wait... I think I can exploit her teleportation control. 06:26 Imanity: She escaped and cornered me. 06:27 I'm thinking of teleporting her again. 06:27 :( 06:27 Wanna watch? 06:27 I am 06:28 Much better. 06:28 You can use cursed scroll of tp 06:28 I thikn 06:28 To escape if she isnt next to you 06:28 Very nice. 06:28 SO which level do I escape to if I do that? 06:28 It's random 06:28 But anywhere except here is good 06:28 Ok. The only other problem is... That chest... I think it's unlocked. 06:29 I think that'll only affect you if you either 06:29 stay on same lvl when you tp away 06:29 or come back 06:29 I still want her BoH. 06:29 It's the only other BoH, nevermind that it's fireproof. 06:29 You could always kill the locust 06:30 if immune to all of her spells 06:30 and lock it, but kinda risky 06:30 then tp out and walk back 06:30 To get to that square. Hmm. I think I'll heal first, then kill locust, hopefully lock... Then oh wait... I still have a wand of create monster I think. 06:31 Yeah, even if I fill up more squares with monsters it's not going to push her further away. 06:32 Perfect! 06:32 Locked! 06:32 Now I can gtfo. 06:32 Oh you have tp control 06:32 Yes. 06:32 you could always tp to the closest level, then try again at the BoH 06:32 I don't have polymorph control, that's about it. 06:33 I need to farm for the acid. 06:33 Oh 06:33 so long time then 06:33 :( 06:33 Maybe to nearest altar 06:33 Yes. :( 06:33 Maybe dlvl 10 then, I can't remember. 06:33 Yes. 06:34 You can't sac for staff of archmagi ig? 06:34 for phasing 06:34 You could sac for magicbane, then either permaconvert to chaotic, or roll the dice on a HooA 06:34 It'll save the farm 06:35 How?

The Staff of the Archmagi appears as a white ashwood staff, and has a slightly higher base damage modifier vs other quarterstaffs. When wielded, it gives off light, reduces spell casting failure rates by 50% for all spell schools, confers magic resistance, and inherets 06:35 Magicbane's curse absorbing ability. Grants half spell damage when carried, and can be invoked to temporarily phase through matter. Its damage types are also inline with Magicbane, minus the cancellation attack type. Due to its lack of cancellation magic, it does not cause bags of holding to explode when placed inside. 06:36 I think you can phase through the wall closest to where you enter 06:36 I remember xdminsy losing a run when he tried with kathryn still in her ice queen form 06:36 This is a bit of a crazy solution to a minnor lack of acid. 06:36 Staff is a powerful utility artifact regardless 06:36 50% more success on all spells 06:37 This makes me wonder if I could xorn in. 06:37 Probably can 06:37 I have the required rings. 06:37 Esp with her on the other side of map 06:38 Slightly annoying, the rings are in the chest, closest location is castle I think. 06:38 No, quest! 06:45 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 06:47 The only thign I need to take off if I'm going to xorn, is my robe and shirt, right? 06:49 Looks like it. 06:49 [hdf-us] [evil] Disruptor (Inf Ith Mal Una) killed the invisible Gollum, on T:1489 (0:09:49) 06:54 Well, that was damned dangerious! :D 06:57 [hdf-us] [evil] Disruptor (Inf Ith Mal Una), 1005 points, T:2108, killed by a bolt of cold 07:05 Did I just suffer a failed polymorph? 07:06 Maybe levelport 07:08 Why? 07:08 You stayed on the same level 07:08 I don't have any more cursed telo anyway. 07:09 Ah, but I lost an Xp level. 07:09 then it's from poly 07:10 So failed poly can causes a loss of level. 07:11 +-2 07:11 it can also shuffle stats 07:11 I wonder if I can get it back. 07:16 Oh wow.
