My char one is doing alright, I just find the mutations I've received to be humorous...

You can polymorph yourself at will (Q: how? Edit: Ah, U. Not that I can use it anytime soon.)
Your flesh is rotting
Your skin is covered with warts

So...can I polymorph into something that's not so butt ugly? :)

On the plus side, got a chaos blade from my patron and a free level.

Drool is not the body liquid you need to be worrying about.....


On another note, does anybody else find all of this borderline orgasmic?

I love the quest nature of the game. Really great stuff. Just completed the Rogue quest. Too bad the other three towns aren't included in this one. Airhog, did you set it up so that there's only one town and no wilderness? Damn, probably means we miss out on the Cthulhu and R'lyeh quest.

You can also see them by doing shift-c and keep hitting 'h'. The last page is mutations, unless you switch one of the options that keeps the mutation page from coming up.

Incidently, my poor first guy died so stupidly I'm embarassed. I was running out of room and read one of my un-IDed scrolls which, of course, was a scroll of summoning and brought a Priest and Hobbes the #$&# Tiger.

My new guy is going all right though, he's got about 6 mutations so far, it's a bit crazy. The best one has been adding tentacles which basically add an extra melee attack. I'll post a char dump sometime soonish. I gotta say though, it's pretty fun with the randomness of the rewards and mutations.

yeah I wanted to keep things simple for everyone. And at first I wanted to do it all ironman, but that might have been a bit too much, so I toned it down, and didnt think to remove the ironman town setting.

JAG

Here goes. Had a nice run this past time down, found a short sword of +3 attacks and got horns added to my tentacles, so I'm dealing some pretty great melee damage. Only shame was I got mutated into an Imp, so I took a pretty nasty hit to strength. This guy would make X-Men proud...

Hmmm,

After never finding the Phial in the last comp-when it is supposedly the easiest artifact to get-I got it with my first char this time-in the Thieves Quest. First time I've ever seen an artifact in there-wonder if the Phial is always there in this version.

Bee
08-07-2003, 09:40 AM
Not always, but it does occasionally show up on the thieves quest. (At least that's the way it works with the version of Zangband I've played, I haven't had time to download this version yet for the competition).

Thomkal

Here's my current char-he's had his stats polymorphed so much by Khaine that he can't cast some of his spells anymore. :( He did give my char a nice weapon though, so I guess I can't complain too loudly (or at all-who knows what he'll do next)

look in some of the other buildings sachmo

Thomkal
08-07-2003, 10:47 AM
The main quests you can get from the mayor's office-One of the non-stores in town-its the center of the town map to the north. Some of the other non-stores might have quests too-there will be an option for them if they do. Likely the only one you'll be able to do for a while is the thieves quest from the mayor if my memory of this variant is correct.

The town? All of the buildings were shops, or my house? Is the building inside the gates?

On my latest character, I recieved a sweet artifact. The Chainsword too bad it has a -30 to hit. Once I can enchant that up it will be a nice weapon. of course by that time something will have killed me. twice.

Airhog
08-07-2003, 01:06 PM
and of course I am killed. I was finishing of the wargs when I somehow get down to 5 hp, I run away, only to run into a small kobold who wacks me to death.

Celeval
08-07-2003, 01:15 PM
The other thing about the Chainsword (IIRC, it's been a while) is the aggravate monster... doesn't help. :-D

This is probably the best char I've had in the month or two I've been playing these types of games. A warning to those who haven't found it yet, there's one level where you have to kill 13 of some monster with a long name that starts with a Q. It can summon a whole mess of creatures.
Otherwise, I'm frustrated that I have so much cash and haven't found anything to spend it on. I'd love that ring of slaying Anxiety has. I found my first ever greater vault on a 'special feeling' level. No artifacts, but a slew of nice items and overall, the monsters weren't too deadly. It was quite the shocker using the rod of trap detection as always and seeing almost the whole level light up. :)

Bought my ring in the Black Market. It cost around 80% of my cash (12000 gold or so). And it is so worth it, best Ring of Slaying I've ever seen.

JAG,

Unless there's a special level I'm unaware of, the "kill X monsters" quests are random for each player. So its unlikely we will each have to face off against the dreaded Q's on one of those levels. Those Q's are a nuisance more than they are difficult to defeat-at least the first couple kinds you're likely to see in the dungeon. Distance attacks/spells are your best defense against them, especially ball spells where you can still get at them if it's summoned stuff in front of it. Nice sword by the way. :)

You won't be able to use that Pattern Sorcery book in your house-I think-as you cast Chaos Magic spells. Good going so far :)

Anxiety,

A quest level of Ochre Jellies? Ick. Moving faster than they can is probably the best defense against them, plus a boatload of Phase Door spells so you can get away from them when they get too close. Distance attacks/spells can be used then.

I'll post my guy here in a sec.

Thomkal,

First of all, "You are telepathic" wowsers, nice mutation there!

I believe since all of the 'random level quests' are predetermined for a character at birth, so since we're all using the same character, we should all have the same quests at each level. For example, my first guy died, but my next guy using the same file had to do the same quests for the levels I reached. Anxiety was talking about an ochre jelly level, I had to do that one earlier as well.

Oh, the pattern sorcery book was just a money holder for me. I didn't want to run into a pack of thieves and have them steal 11K from me. :) Speaking of which, I finally got some great items from the stores and am now basically broke again. I ended up with a ring of slaying (heh, ask and ye shall receive!) and a nice heavy crossbow from the black market, and a robe of permanence, this sucker's lovely. Sustains all stats, holds life, resists fire, cold, lightning, acid, poison, and can't be hurt by the elements. The best find in the dungeon was an artifact set of footware on a non-special level, dropped from some unique. Stats for it:

Pair of Metal Shod Boots Edhnangor (+13, +6) [6, +19] (+3 to stealth)

+3 to stealth, infravision, searching, and constitution.
resistance to fire
permanent light
can't be harmed by the elements
the aforementioned bonuses to armor, to-hit, and damage

I'm probably gone this weekend, so have fun. Please post your chars so I can be jealous for not playing. :)

JAG,

Unless there's a special level I'm unaware of, the "kill X monsters" quests are random for each player. So its unlikely we will each have to face off against the dreaded Q's on one of those levels. Those Q's are a nuisance more than they are difficult to defeat-at least the first couple kinds you're likely to see in the dungeon. Distance attacks/spells are your best defense against them, especially ball spells where you can still get at them if it's summoned stuff in front of it. Nice sword by the way. :)

You won't be able to use that Pattern Sorcery book in your house-I think-as you cast Chaos Magic spells. Good going so far :)

Anxiety,

A quest level of Ochre Jellies? Ick. Moving faster than they can is probably the best defense against them, plus a boatload of Phase Door spells so you can get away from them when they get too close. Distance attacks/spells can be used then.

I'll post my guy here in a sec.

Actually, since I generated the save game file, all the quests, items and stuff are the same. So everyone is playing with the same deck. It makes the game more fair, since everyone has to face X monster on Y level.

Very impressive JAG! I am still depressed about losing my midas touch mutation(turn items into gold... was amazing in dungeons when you load up on too much stuff) to a death, but I'm really looking forward to getting in some good playing time over the weekend :)

Hmm. I hit Ochre Jellies really early. Like level 8 or 10 or 12. Anybody else hit them?

Amulet of the Magi. Yeehaw.

Thomkal

Hmmm,

I stand corrected then about the quest levels. I thought they were randomly generated the first time you enter a quest level, rather than "hard-coded" into char creation. Now I don't want to go down any further! :) I've had skeleton orcs and green jellies as some of my most recent quests-anybody have those?

Yeah that telepathy mutation is sweet isn't it? :) But just to be cute my chaos patron gave me detect monsters a bit later-practically useless with having telepathy already-it does find mindless creatures though, so it does have its uses.

Robe of Permanence? Amulet of the Magi? I hate you both. ;)

Back to the game now...

/secretly wishing he had both :)

Thomkal

Well just got the Ochre Jelly level-after finding myself in the previous quest level with a small level and having to kill Gazers for the quest and a bunch of annoying novice priests. I think I'll break for dinner before tackling those Jellies. Somehow I don't think they taste good with peanut butter.

Abe Sargent

You can smell nearby precious metal.
You can consume solid rock.
You can polymorph yourself at will.
You can feel the strength of the magics affecting you.
You can send evil creatures directly to Hell.
You sometimes cause nearby creatures to vanish.
You receive warnings about your foes.
Your blood sometimes rushes to your head.
You are superhumanly strong (+4 STR).
You have remarkable infravision (+3).
Your skin is covered with warts (-2 CHR, +5 AC).

a) The Main Gauche of Maedhros (2d5) (+12,+15) (+3)
b) a Heavy Crossbow of Velocity (x4) (+10,+17)

i) a Staff of Perception (10 charges)
j) 40 Bolts (1d5) (+0,+0)





I really like the Main Gauche/Ring of Slaying/Cambeleg combo. Cambeleg and the Ring give me +19 damage, add the main Aguche and I'm at +34 damage x 3 blows. Plus the Main Gauche gives me +3 speed and pumps my Int and Dex, two stats that need pumping on this char.

Cambeleg is a glorified Gloves of Slaying, but I like 'em. (+8,+8) alone is pretty good. It gives free action so there's no loss of sp, and it pumps Str and Con. Pretty nice when you consider that it also gives me 16 AC.

Thengel is a glorified Cap of Wisdom/Beauty. Not that great, but a good AC bonus. It could go anytime.

I need resistance from the four basic elements, so that's my current sojourn. I need resistances.

I have some pretty cool mutations. Eat rock frees up an inventory slot and is probably the best. I never use many of the others.

Anyways, my char....

What's up? Am I the only one who played some today?

Anyways, I just NARROWLY avoided death at 1650' feet. Had a Special Feeling so I was traiping around and ran SMACK into a Time Elemental nest.

For those who don't know, Time Elementals can blink, teleport, move through wals, hit to reduce your life and hit to reduce all of your stats and hit to slow. So, imagine 50 of these nasties climing out of the walls, and several others teleport away, so that wherever I t-port to in the level there are more Time Ele's. And after I just cleared out the quest level with the WIll O the Wisps too....

Congrats on the Sting quest. I tried completing it, but there were too many nasties I didn't know about, including ironically the time elemental. Imagine my horror when all of a sudden it hits me and I lose 4 points from every stat. So needless to say, I can't do anymore of those quests. And you're at 1650'? Yeah...guess I won't be winning this one either. :) I'm impressed with your mutation list, there's not a negative one in there.

I barely had time to play yesterday, but I've been at it again this morning. Just had the dreaded "need a new form, lets turn you into a Yeek." event. Thankfully I had picked up a "you can polymorph at will" mutation a while back. It had a failure rate of 78%, so after several times, I finally got it to work and I polymorphed into a....high-elf! Dropped my STR to 16, but my INT is now 18/50, WIS is 18/40, and Dex is 18/10. My CHR is a much nicer 12 now too. :)

Of course I lost three levels too...but its sure better than being a yeek.

Just picked up the Katana as a result of the quest level with lurkers. Found the Ring of Slaying in the Black Market on my return to town after finding the Katana. We'll see if I'm going to miss the 2 attacks/round my chaotic main Gauche gave me as well as the drain life and confuse attacks. Wasn't doing enoiugh damage though, so I think I'll be okay with the katana (and its 7d5 damage-7d5! :)

The helm Holhenneth has been of tremendous help too, allowing me to drop my various detect rods. I think however next time I'm in town I'm going to try to polymorph into something besides a high-elf-the 16 STR is really hurting at the moment in terms of encumberance.

The blood rushing to my head mutation is not a good one. I use the Chaos Tower to remove a negative mutation if I get one. It takes the most recent mutation off.
