FOFC Crawl Comp #2: Deep Elf Ice Elementalist

FOFC Crawl Comp #2: Deep Elf Ice Elementalist

Round 2

We now go from the big beefy Troll that can go insane crazy at toe to toe range any time to the weak frail Deep Elf that must try to use distance to an advantage and muster magical hell upon the enemy.

Race: Deep Elf
Class: Ice Elementalist
God: Your choice
Time: Two Weeks

This will be a big change of pace in play style. It will be tough to survive the first few levels, but once you start getting a few spells under your belt, you will become more powerful and be able to easily dispatch the enemy. I will be dropping hints throughout the two weeks. 1st hint: magic makes you hungry. Check you spell hunger level z?! that screen also shows the power of your spell and the range. Your first spell is Freeze and is a point blank spell indicated by @>. Cold spells slow enemies so don't be afraid to freeze and run.

Good Luck!

[Sporkimata]

Looks fun. I am definitely ready for the change of pace character.

[thesloppy]

Oooooh, I'm gonna die. A lot.

[Lonnie]

I already have... about 10 times. I'm not changing the name each time, just when one gets over level 5 or so.

Another hint: a good branded dagger is nice to have as well for when you run out of mana.

[Lonnie]

Had a good run going and encountered a really tough level 1 Orcish Mine. Orc Knight, Orc Sorcerer, and two Orc Priests waiting for right inside.

[Radii]

The early named that can go invis on like level 2 are a hell of a lot more challenging now. I can't just berserk and walk into them anymore. :P

[Sporkimata]

I keep getting gakked by Orcish Wizards and Priests.

[Thomkal]

I started my guy last night, really sucks that they start with such a low STR and no weapon, but hey it wouldn't be a challenge to play then. :) I always pick up the first weapon I see, with Freeze's limited range and not great damage I always want to have a backup plan if I run out of mana. Of course the club I picked up was cursed. :( thought I would die quickly, but instead found a scroll shortly thereafter, read it and it was remove curse! Then got lucky again and found 7 javelins. They are great, can soften them up to save on mana, or outright kill things with one throw.

Here's a helpful tip for newbies-the best gods for magic types to go with is usually Sif Muna or Vehumet. You don't have to worship a god at all of course, but these two are likely the most helpful if you do want to worship one.

Good luck everybody!

[ozias]

Quick death last night on the first try I've had with this character. I didn't even clear the 1st level. :(

I had found an axe and a knife, but 2 throwing weapons to soften them up before they got near me wasn't enough.

Hopefully the next run thru I'll find better items.

[Radii]

I got my first score over 1000, dying on level 5 when I found a couple frogs + something else. All three came at me and I wasn't strong enough to one shot any of them with spells. I tried pulling something up the stairs but both frogs came and I couldn't get them both down or away from me before dying.

[klayman]

I thought I sucked at this game with the troll...:(

[Lonnie]

Awful quiet. I hope I didn't pick too hard of a combo for everyone. To make it up to you I will give you a ton of tips. A full conjurer's guide that will give you a lot of useful information.

Conjurer guide - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Conjurator_guide)

I am currently level 10 on my latest run and just hit the lair. Hopefully I can stretch this one out.

[Radii]

I haven't been playing as much b/c I'm really into FM right now, but I have taken 5 or 6 shots. I am typically dying to a named on the 3rd or 4th level, Sigmund a few times, Jessica in my most recent game. Not frustrated at all or anything, just nothing interesting to post about either :)

[terpkristin]

What game is this?

/tk

[Thomkal]

I haven't play much because I've been extremely busy the last couple of days and that bastard JAG dragged me into his Werewolf game. ;) Hope to get a little time to play tonight before bed though.

[ozias]

Well I finally made it to the 4th level and was able to kill a named enemy. It was Pikel, and I managed to only kill one of his slaves in the process.

The wand of cold I found earlier helped kill him. He dropped a +2, +2 whip of electrocution, which may come in handy. I've been fortunate to have come across a good supply of darts to kill the weak monsters from a distance, and once they get next to me the freeze spell has finished them off.

I also found the temple before fighting Pikel, and chose Vehumet as my god.

The other good items I've found are a couple of rings. One is +3 Strength, one allows me to see invisible creatures, and the last one is a ring of fire. Too bad we cast ice spells.

I'll continue my quest tomorrow, but I'm happy to get to the 5th level finally with this character.

[Lonnie]

Frigid was rocking everything in site. I had dispatched hordes of blink frogs and several hydras. I stumbled upon the entrance to the Slime Pits and decided to take a peak in the entrance even though I didn't have resist corrosion. Bad mistake. Two acid blobs were sitting in there waiting on me. I went back up the stairs, but one followed. I quaffed a heal wounds potion and felt a little better. No blink scrolls, but I figured hell I can out run a blob. I got a step on it, but that's when I found out it had ranged acid. RIP Frigid.

Nice Oz! But if you are 5th level you should be using the better ice spells. Hit Shift-M to memorize new spells as you level up. Throw Frost should be a staple by 5, and you should have Throw Icicle for big baddies.

[Vince, Pt. II]

What game is this?

/tk

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's a rogue-like game, similar to Moria, Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) and others.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/)

Pick it up, it's quickly addicting - I'm going through the tutorials just to brush up on my skills (it's been ages since I've played a rogue-like, and I was never any good anyway) before trying out the Ice Elementalist.

[Vince, Pt. II]

So I'm running through the equipment/item/inventory whatever tutorial, and it has me pick up like a million meat rations. Then it says I can drop a certain number of them by entering the number after typing d. It's not letting me do that however. I've tried both the number pad and the traditional numbers above the keyboard, but no dice. Any ideas?

EDIT - It does work, I'm just quick. There's no indication that it has accepted your input as far as I can tell, but it works.

[Thomkal]

RIP Frigid. :( (at least till you come back as a player ghost and get killed again). Note to self: Never enter Slime ;) Welcome to Crawl Vince and hopefully Terp too. :)

[Thomkal]

Bluestar gets a little lucky on Level 2 of the dungeon-he barely survives being poisoned-had not found any potions, got to 2 hp before I overcame it. Then I was able to sneak into Crazy Yluf's lair and steal a glowing hammer from his lair-unfortunately he spotted me-I ran far from his lair then teleported when he was still following me-was able to escape a couple times when I encountered him further from his lair. Eventually I was able to sneak back in his lair and check out the hammers he loves so much. The only one that appears to be anything special is a hammer of draining. :) Now to sneak by him one more time to get the hell off this level.

[ozias]

Nice Oz! But if you are 5th level you should be using the better ice spells. Hit Shift-M to memorize new spells as you level up. Throw Frost should be a staple by 5, and you should have Throw Icicle for big baddies.

Thanks for that tip....I keep forgetting to memorize the new spells when I go up a level. Got used to playing the troll berserker that I don't bother to think about memorizing spells when going up a level.

[Thomkal]

And Bluestar1 is dead. :( got into a situation where monsters were coming from all directions and no easy way to get to a corridor. Luckily got into one taking little damage and thought for sure I was going to die right there-two cold resistant skeleton types, a hobgoblin, and kobold and something else I'm forgetting. Unbelievably I managed to survive and I hadn't found a single healing potion all game. The hammer of draining came through for me big time killing 4 out of the 5 mobs. But then Menkaure showed up right after I killed them, didn't have any choice to fight, spells werent doing much damage, but the hammer was-got her down to almost destroyed before succumbing. :(

Another one bites the dust.

Another one where confidence got the best of me. I had defeated several uniques and then ran into Rupert. He paralyzed me for 7 turns while he swung away and didn't do much damage. I nuked him pretty good right after coming out of being paralyzed, and he had only taken a bit of my health. I thought to myself I would nuke once more and finish him and if I didn't then I would blink away and nuke again. Well he berzerked and double hit me for my last 38 health.

[Thomkal]

oof Lonnie 7 turns-I'm surprised you didn't die right there seeing what Rupert was using as a weapon. You sure were set up nicely with a staff of power, ring of magical power, and ring of wizardry. Better luck next time.

[Thomkal]

Bluestar2 is doing well so far, and just found a artifact armor on Level 4! The problem is its Scale Armor which knocks my spell success down to Very Good, Good , and Very Poor for the armor spell. The thing is the armor is +4 INT, +4 STR, +3 Damage Dealing abilities (what exactly are those anyway?) It's just +0 unfortunately, but does bring my AC to 7, so if I wear it, I may not need the armor spell anyway. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...think I'm going to wear it for now and see how it goes.

[ozias]

Well I've made it to level 8.

Currently on the 6th level of the dungeon. I met up with "Prince Ribbit", and thankfully had the ability to cast the "Ozocubu's Armour" and then "Throw Icicle" at him, but in 2 turns he blinked right next to me. The Icicle spell wasn't hurting him very much, probably due to his very small size, so I just used a couple of blasts from my wand of flame. That brought his hit points down enough that I felt comfortable using "Freeze" on him til he died.

Some where after that I came across a Book of Wizardry, can't recall where it came from unless Vehumet gifted it to me, I'll have to do a character dump and look through it to see.

That +2, +2 whip of electrocution has saved me a few times, when some of the tougher monsters are able to with stand Throw Icicle, Throw Frost, and Freeze. I haven't used the "Summon Ice Beast" spell yet, but that was one of the spells in the book of wizardry I have. Hopefully I won't need it for a while, and when I do, I hope it comes in handy. I'll try it out a few times before I go to much further, just to see how well it helps.

I've also added to my wand collection. I have 4 of them now. Wand of flame, wand of cold, wand of enslavement, and wand of FIREBALL!!!:devil: :devil: On top of that, I came across a rod of SMITING!!:D :D Those orc wizards better look out...pay back is a bitch.:lol:

Then just before finishing the 6th level of the dungeon off, I come across a Quarterstaff named "Iluuzaos". It emits flame when wielded, adds +2 to my STR and +2 to my DEX. It insulates me from electricity, it protects me from poison, and it allows me to see invisible creatures. So my see invisibility ring is no longer needed and I'm wearing the ring of +3 STR, and the ring of sustenance. Hopefully that will help out hunger issues when casting spells.

Considering how many times I died with this character build, I can say with the items I've found, and going slowly, this is a lot more fun than the troll berserker was. Great choice of character class to use Lonnie!:thumbsup:

[ozias]

Dola.

Forgot to mention I ran across "Edmund" on the 6th level as well, and he didn't last long against the wand of flame.

[Lonnie]

That's a kick ass staff Oz!

[Vince, Pt. II]

Vince the Frost Mage is alive and kicking, going strong at the Ecumenical Temple. I thought he was done for early on, as three Jackals and a Hobgoblin had me surrounded in a big open room on level one, but the random potion that I quaffed with 1 hp left happened to be one of healing and it let me Freeze the hell out of all of them. A fortuitous find of a wand of disintegration has been amazing, as it's let me kill a pair of Orc Priests and an Orc Mage that otherwise would have easily done me in. I've killed three named mobs so far, Yluf, some fat half-orc and Terence. The closest I've been to death since that initial scare with the jackals was when I rounded a corner and bounced off an ogre's chest. One swipe of his giant club and I was down to 5 hp, but I managed to run away a bit and whittle him away with throw frost. Yluf dropped a pretty nice Quarterstaff of Chaos (+2, +3), but other than that and the wand of disintegration, nothing notable so far.

One question - I found an altar of Vehumet back on level 2, but it was surrounded by lava. I have no levitation abilities yet, and now I'm at the Ecumenical Temple. I had planned on picking Vehumet, but Sif Muna's got an altar here at the Temple - should I just go with Sif Muna, or hold out for potential levitation? Character dump after the spoiler tag.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Well that didn't end well. I ran into an Ice Beast on the 7th or 8th level, and needless to say was not very well equipped to handle him. Tried hitting him with my runed Sling Bullets of Flame, but they didn't really have much of an effect on him. He resisted a few zaps from the wand of disintegration, so I tried to run - got all the way back to level 3 and ran into Sigmund and a pack of Jackals. Started burning out all my scrolls, managed to confuse everything, kill Sigmund...and then the Ice Beast made it back before I could run away and it was goodnight Vince.

1,049 points for my first effort. Fairly lame. Time to get back to it!

[Lonnie]

Vince,

Vehumet and Sif Muna are both good choices. If I couldn't get to the Vehumet altar then I would have went with Sif Muna.

As far as the ice beast goes, if you couldn't get away from it then Throw Icicle would be the best spell since it is only 25% resistible. Since the ice beast is cold resistant it would be the best choice. Second choice would be slap it around with that staff of Chaos and hope a random teleport sent it across the dungeon.

[ozias]

Well I'm not dead yet, so there's the good thing.

I'm currently on level 3 of the lair, and came across a set of stairs that go down to the Shoals. What the heck is that, and should I even attempt it?

Currently I'm level 11, and three potions of mutations have helped me out in a good way. I've got Clarity, can cover ground quickly, resistant to poison, +20% HP, Slow metabolism 1, and STR +1.

I was almost dead when I gulped the first one, as I had no healing potions left and had no idea what the potions was, but since I had 3 of them, I figured I better try them to see if they could help me out....thankfully the wands of fire and cold finished off the baddies before I was killed. Then I just rested to heal up. That happened on the 8th level of the dungeon, and on the 9th level, I clicked the potion by mistake. Once in the Swamp, the fights got a little tougher and I had gone thru my supply of healing, I thought the potion I was taking was another healing, but I didn't read before clicking. Thankfully none of the mutations were bad.

Here is where I stand now, next to the staircase to the Shoals, but wanted to find out about them before I head down there. So if you have any info, let me know, as I'll save this one for later.

[Thomkal]

Well that didn't end well. I ran into an Ice Beast on the 7th or 8th level, and needless to say was not very well equipped to handle him. Tried hitting him with my runed Sling Bullets of Flame, but they didn't really have much of an effect on him. He resisted a few zaps from the wand of disintegration, so I tried to run - got all the way back to level 3 and ran into Sigmund and a pack of Jackals. Started burning out all my scrolls, managed to confuse everything, kill Sigmund...and then the Ice Beast made it back before I could run away and it was goodnight Vince.

1,049 points for my first effort. Fairly lame. Time to get back to it!

Nothing lame at all about that first effort-good job!

[Lonnie]

Oz, you are doing well. I would skip the Shoals for now. Check the wiki here: The Shoals - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Shoals)

Since you have poison resist, I would head back to the dungeon and find the Hive. Two levels of bees, you should be able to clear that easily. Then you'll have tons of honeycombs and royal jellies for food. Then head back to the Lair and clear it. Then tackle either the orcish mines or swamp. Clarity helps in the swamp as there are several things that can confuse you.

My latest run ended with Harold shooting my with a fire wand while I was climbing the stairs to get away. Not any better than my previous attempts so I'll just post the header.

8484 Frigid the Frost Mage (level 11, -11/55 HPs)
Began as a Deep Elf Ice Elementalist on Aug 13, 2011.
Was an Elder of Sif Muna.
Killed from afar by Harold (32 damage)
... with a bolt of fire

... on Level 11 of the Dungeon.
The game lasted 01:11:19 (16844 turns).

I was especially pissed as there were several good shops I had found and was just looking for enough gold for a poison resist ring and a robe of the arch magi.

[Thomkal]

Never mind Lonnie beat me to it and knows more than I do anyway :)

[ozias]

Thanks for the input Lonnie.

I'll do as you suggest.

Which of these spells should I memorize?

Lightning bolt (great)
Summon Elemental (good)
Fireball (poor)
Agony (terrible)
Teleport Self (terrible)
Haste (useless)
Invisibility (useless)

I can't see using that last 2 at this point in time, as they are useless to me.
I'm thinking along the lines of lightning bolt, or summon elemental. I'm leaning more towards the elemental, as another one to help me out has to be a good thing.


EDIT
One other question, what the heck is the bone lantern for? I've been carrying it around for a while, but all I can tell that it does, is makes the light turn dark. Almost as if turning day into night.

[Thomkal]

check the wiki page that Lonnie gave you the link for and do a search for bone lantern :)

[Vince, Pt. II]

My latest guy had a really inauspicious start, being brought down to 1 hp by each of the first four mobs I fought. He's made quite the striking comeback and looks to be set up pretty well at the moment with some really nice items:

Ring of Teleport Control
Ring of Teleportation
Ring of Wizardry
Amulet of Stasis
Whip of Distortion
Book of Chemistry
Book of the Tempests

I must have missed the temple, because I've been all the way down to level 9. Have gone back up and am re-exploring now, we'll see how things go.

Also, I've already found a Ziggurat entrance guarded by some Angels on level 3 (behind translucent crystal walls) and another interestingly walled off section of green crystal behind another translucent wall on level 6. The second one has all sorts of scary looking monsters roaming around it, and I'm steering clear of both. Will I eventually be able to find a secret door for these, or will I have to come up with a random teleport in or a way to melt/dissolve/dig through the walls?

Edit: Well, balls. Starving, I decided to try to take off the Whip of Distortion to cut up a corpse, and I was cast into the abyss. At level 7. I got whomped almost instantly by multiple abominations. 2,037, moving up in points.

[Lonnie]

Out of those the best for long term use are Teleport Self and Haste, but you will have to level up that school of magic to be able to cast them reliably. For Teleport Self it would be good to find a book with Blink in it and level up translocations until Teleport Self is at great. Haste is in the Charm school.

I would wait until Vehumet gifts you a few more spell books and plan your spells around them. As an Ice Elementalist, your goal will be Ice Storm.

I haven't ever actually used a bone lantern, so I don't know exactly how useful it can be. Here is the wiki entry: Lantern of shadows - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Bone_lantern)

[Vince, Pt. II]

Any ideas what to do with really nice items you find that are pretty much useless to you? Last game I found some Artifact gloves of +3 Dex/-4 Int, and I didn't know if I could do anything with them.

[Lonnie]

Vince - no use hanging on to them. You can create a stash in the Temple or Lair to dump extra stuff if you think you'll use it later.


My latest run. Seems like I have a knack of lasting a little over two hours. Lesson learned here is if you are an ice mage don't go into the ice caves. Ice Dragons did me in, my wand of fire ran out.

[Thomkal]

ack I wouldn't have even gone in a ice cave no matter how many wands of flame I had :)

Bluestar2 soldiers on, having just avoided Pikel and all but one of his slaves, the lovers D&D, and my killer of Bluestar1 Menakure, all on the same level. Hopefully I can keep avoiding the uniques. Just found my first spellbook, a poison one, I can now poison weapon my dagger of electrocution. :) And I had to take that nice artifact armor after a while, just made spellcasting too hard. I'm definitely holding on to it though.

[Thomkal]

Okay Lonnie (or whomever)

I've found a ring of ice (which I've had for a long time and just ID'ed), a ring of magical power, and a ring of INT+3. Which of the two would you wear? Mana is 25 without ring of magical power, 34 with it.

[Thomkal]

And now you can add a ring of wizardry to that list, its a magical ring bonanza!

[Radii]

I finally had another game where I made it through a few levels and then died to an ice beast. I had leveled up high enough to where I could summon my own but the real thing was much better. I am just not getting any kind of luck as far as finding wands of fire and that kind of thing, I'm still in a situation where if i can't kill it with my spells or run to the nearest stairs w/o it catching up, I am dead, basically every time. I think my best score is an 1100 or so so far.

[Thomkal]

yeah radii, I've had to count on my poisoned dagger of electrocution to fight cold resistant things, trying to throw darts first to soften it up first

[Thomkal]

I just had to drop an artifact short sword that did flame damage and +4 STR because it unfortunately prevented spellcasting. :( I've also found an artifact amulet that gives me +4 to AC and EV and something I won't know till I ID it.

[Lonnie]

I would use the ring of magical power and the ring of ice. Ring of wizardry increases the success of your spells, where ring of ice increases the power of the spells. If your spells are already at excellent then I would stick with the ring of ice. You always want the extra mana though so ring of magical power for sure.

I think my best score is an 1100 or so so far.

Tough luck Radii, usually by the time I encounter an ice beast it takes 2 or 3 Throw Icicles to take them down. Make sure you approach it from an angle where you get maximum range. Usually if you are auto exploring and see one, if your stealth is high enough they will stay asleep and you can move back out of line of sight. Then either avoid it or come from the best angle to get several Throw Icicles at it.

Which brings up a good interface tip. If you auto explore into something you think you can't handle, step back out of sight. Then press Shift-x and move the cursor over the ice beast or whatever it is and press "e" that will set an exclusion to your auto explore and keep you out of their line of sight. I've done that several times on this run, for Sigmund and a couple other elites that I didn't want to mess with.

[Lonnie]

Keep getting a little bit better, but still dying. This time teleported away from death yaks and ended up surrounded by elephants with 4 health. No scrolls of fear so I just had to take it.

[dzilla77]

Been out of town with poor internet and not much time to play. Got one going, but I'm sure he will be dead in short order.

[Thomkal]

I would use the ring of magical power and the ring of ice. Ring of wizardry increases the success of your spells, where ring of ice increases the power of the spells. If your spells are already at excellent then I would stick with the ring of ice. You always want the extra mana though so ring of magical power for sure.

thanks Lonnie, I'll give that a try!

[Vince, Pt. II]

My latest guy had some promising things going on before he got stomped in the face by a Goliath Beetle that 2-shot me :(

I'm making a habit of finding cool items that are basically useless to my character. The latest find was the artefact amulet "Smufot" {cFly -CAST Str-2}. Controlled flight would be great if I could still cast my spells. but at 1,609, this is my best guy since the first. 16 deaths, nothing past level 7. Loving the game though :)

[klayman]

Finally getting the hang of this character, just hit level 14. Found an artifact sword on the 8th level that has really helped me out. +3 str, +1 Int, rPoison, see Invisible, and flaming. Says it is a hydra killer. That helped me get a rune at the bottom of the snake pit. Thankfully, it was close to a set of stairs so I could easily run and hide when my magic ran out. Took forever to clear the all the Nagas out of there. I just wish I could find more spells though. I found a book of changes, but all the spells are pretty blah.

[thesloppy]

Although I still suck hardily, I wanna give credit to this competition (both characters included) for increasing my Crawl skillz exponentially. I pretty well ignored magic before the elementalist, and the troll character, although more of a brawler than I'm used to, actually forced me to think harder and strategerize about combat, once you get beyond the first 7-8 floors, which I never used to make it near in the first place.

[Lonnie]

Excellent work Klayman, looks like you are the first to actually grab a rune so far. Which god do you have? Both Sif Muna and Vehumet gift spell books pretty regularly.

That is an awesome sword. They call it hydra killer because if you use a normal sword against a hydra you'll cut it's head off and two more will grow in it's place. Pretty soon your 4 headed hydra turns into a 16 headed hydra and you are DEAD. A sword of flaming keeps this from happening. Of course a bit of Throw Icicle usually does the trick as well with our character.

[klayman]

Excellent work Klayman, looks like you are the first to actually grab a rune so far. Which god do you have? Both Sif Muna and Vehumet gift spell books pretty regularly.



Thanks. Vehumet is my god, but he hasn't gifted me anything yet other than the better spell-casting abilities.

[Thomkal]

Congrats on that Rune Klayman. Luckily Bluestar2 has found three spellbooks including one of Conjuration. I have access to Mephitic Cloud and Bolt of Cold now which is awesome, Poison Cloud too. and I have Freezing Cloud too....hmmm maybe I should cast all three at once? :)

[Lonnie]

Was perusing the wiki today and found a tip page I had not seen before. It also included this awesome flowchart.

Tips and tricks - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Tips_and_tricks)

http://crawl.chaosforge.org/images/d/d2/Crawl-flowchart.jpg

[Thomkal]

heh yeah I've seen that chart before, pretty funny, especially the part about Sigmund. I don't think I've seen him or many uniques in my game with Bluestar2 yet other than the one level with four of them on it. I'm currently on Lair:6 though not by choice, was on Lair:4 and fell down a shaft. Never been down this far in the Lair, it should be an interesting (and hopefully not deadly) experience. I'll certainly be looking to take the first stair up I can find though.

[Thomkal]

Well a pack of death yak didn't seem much affected by my Mephitic Cloud/Freezing Cloud, so I hightailed it back to Level 5 of the Lair-first time I've seen them, but heard a lot about them, so wasn't ready to risk myself too much over them. I finally got an ID scroll and was able to fully ID my artifact amulet-its a brooch of shielding, giving me Warding as well as the boost to AC and EV.

[Thomkal]

And just like that its all over:

No one to blame but myself here-opened a door and a whole lot of bees were behind it. Wanted to challenge myself so tried taking them out with frozen and mephitic clouds which mostly worked other than the queen bee who was poisoning me pretty badly. Should have blinked and teleported away, but was kinda bored with the character and wanted to see how things would be different if I chose Sif Muna over Vehumet anyway. Which I will probably now regret when the next 10 characters get killed off before I reach the Temple so I can pick Sif Muna. :)

[Lonnie]

Ouch, engulfed by own freezing vapour. Looks like it was shooting out of the door a space.

Here's a tip for that run. "Ice Form" turns you into a ice beast that gives poison resist and cold immunity. I have pretty much been in perpetual ice form throughout the hive, lair, and now swamp on this run.

Ice Form - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Ice_Form)

Good luck on your next run!

[Thomkal]

I did not know that about Ice Form! where were you when I needed you? ;) Yeah definitely will grab that the next time I have the chance to. Thanks!

[Thomkal]

And true to my prophecy Bluestar3 was killed on level 1 by an ooze when I ran out of mana to cast Freeze. Started running, got a mana point back, thought it might be enough to kill it, alas not to be. I found a ring before I was killed, guess what it was? Yep a ring of ice. arrrrgh.

[Thomkal]

and the next one killed on level 2 by a gnoll because I guessed wrong on the healing potion. Had a dagger of venom and amulet of the gourmand. :(

[Lonnie]

This time I fall to an elf conjurer with a orb of energy. I had been pretty resistant to elves so I didn't really fear the big hit so much, but obviously he had one in the bag.

This was a really good run. I had just grabbed the swamp rune and stored it in my stash and was running right through the elvish halls. I was going to finish through level 6 and then head back to do the Shoals.

Ummm. i think we are all going to have a hard time beating that score, lol. Great job there Lonnie.

[Thomkal]

Bluestar#6 or so has made it to Level 3 of the dungeon, interestingly enough with a dagger of venom and a amulet of the gourmand. No killer gnolls on the second level thank the gods.

[thesloppy]

Ummm. i think we are all going to have a hard time beating that score, lol. Great job there Lonnie.

I have trouble beating 1/100th of that score.

[Radii]

I put up a 4k score before being one shot in the orc mines by one of my ghosts + 17000000000000 orcs, best so far!

[Lonnie]

Klayman should be pretty close to that score or even past it by now.

[klayman]

Not quite. I was trying to get into a protected area on the Elven Halls. Not sure if there is a rune there, but there was a lot of elves. Anyway it was blocked off by water. I got over it once with a levitation potion, but I got banished to the Abyss. I thought it was over, but I eventually found the portal back. Then I was trying to use Dig to get through to the protected area when this stupid annihilator came around the corner and hit me with a crystal spear. Ouch.

doesn't seem to like the morgue file, so I cut it down.

[Thomkal]

I stand corrected about no one coming close to Lonnie's score. :) Great job! Looks like the Elven Halls is not the place to go lol.

[Lonnie]

Well the first 4 levels of Elven Halls is easy enough if you pay attention. Obviously I wasn't paying attention. Level 5 is a meatgrinder. Annihilators are really troublesome. But that is where the rune is. Usually you want to clear the first 4 then go do snake or slime pit before coming back. I lost my highest character ever a level 26 Hill Orc fighter to an Annihilator.

I just found out about the level changes in 0.8, previously Elven Halls was 7 levels deep and the first 6 were medium difficulty with 7 being the rune level. So If I had not died on 4 I probably would have been running around on 5 and got killed there anyway.

Also I think we should have a no back to back winner kinda thing. So if I do end up on top I'll let second place pick the next race/class combo.

Now I'm going to go start another attempt...

[klayman]

I agree with the Elven halls. I actually didn't have any sort of problem with them. I was easily on my way to my second rune until I got banished to the abyss, and that threw my game plan out of whack. Then I got fixated on getting back in there and was trying to learn the Dig spell when I got ambushed. After playing 6 hours of cautious, careful gaming, I had 5 mins of stupidity. :)

I have to agree with what thesloppy said, in that the characters chosen have certainly helped in expanding and improving my gameplay style and made the game a lot more enjoyable.

Was doing well till I reached a dreaded open level-I barely survived two attacks from ice beasts, then had to deal with what looked like a gnoll fort, complete with gnoll sergeants and shaman. One area had an uncrossable river with a bunch of net and missile throwing gnolls inside it. Was able to pick off some of them with spells, then second ice beast showed up. Had to put on my artifact ring which teleported me inside one of the rooms of the fort complete with a few mobs. Tried to use my ring to blink several times only to stay in the room, ran out of healing, so just hoped teleportation would kick in..it did not. Looks like I should have read my scrolls before dying instead. The activate teleport on the ring was very poor-tried it a few times with no success, so gave up.

[thesloppy]

I've had like a dozen dudes since my last post, but they've alllllll sucked ass. Magic is fun, but those damned low hit points give you zero buffer against stupidity. I still don't have the discipline to know when to run away, and that's the key to survival 99% of the time in this game.

[thesloppy]

Hmmm. It appears that version 0.9.0 was released about a week ago. I'ma start messing around with that one, but it sounds like it has had some 'balance tweaks', so I dunno if they're scoring is drastically different.

Also appears they updated the online version to tiles recently, anybody ever futzed around with the online game? I think I played it for like 3 minutes and then stopped, so I don't have any particular opinions.

[Thomkal]

wow 0.9 came out a lot quicker than expected based on how long it took 0.8 to come out. Tried to post the changelog here, but didn't work for some reason so you can check it out yourself at:

http://crawl.develz.org/main/0.9.0.txt

The big change seems to be to the skill system.

[Lonnie]

You can not store up a bunch of experience and then repeatedly use a spell or action to level up a skill class. This was known as "Victory Dancing" and was kinda lame. Now any skills you have enabled for leveling that you used in the past hundred turns will increase.

They also increased starting health by a bit and made it where fighting did not add so much health each level. Would help our fragile deep elf out a lot.

All characters also now carry a boot knife for cutting up corpses, so you don't have to pick up the first blade you see and it doesn't take up an inventory slot.

As far as webtiles, it's a bit laggy compared to the offline tiles version, but that might be good so you don't make hasty decisions. The cool thing about it is you can spectate other people playing. I was watching a lvl 27 clear ziggerauts the other day. I've played 284 online games with the console version. I really like that they keep your stats online and you can retrieve old morgue files easily. Here is my CAO account stats Londar (http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/londar.html)

I just haven't been able to give this one the time this week. With .90 out I have been playing with that a little today. I do hope another competition comes down the road after this.

Results are in:

Thanks for playing along. Looking back I probably should have went with a little beefier race than a deep elf, maybe a high elf. I hope you learned a bit about spell casting in the process. If an effort to keep everyone involved I am going to pass this win on to Klayman for the race/class selection for competition #3. If you have trouble picking, here is a short list of easy combos for beginners Background and race combinations for beginners - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Class_and_Race_Combinations_for_Beginners)

I also suggest we go with 0.9 for the next competition.

[thesloppy]

I also suggest we go with 0.9 for the next competition.

I'll second that. I assume most of us are goofing around with it anyway.

[Lonnie]

Doh I was a day early for some reason. Keep on going and I'll add on scores later.

[Radii]

oh I never did submit one did I. My best was something like 4200 tho so it doesn't really matter much :D

[Thomkal]

I wondered why the comp was over when I asked and was told it was today. :) The deadline was just early today that's all. ;)

Congrats to Lonnie! and to Klayman for finishing second. If you are open to suggestions let me know but if you're dying to try something, that's cool of course.

Yeah we might as well go with 0.9. I've downloaded it but haven't tried it yet, but curious to see if I like the changes to the skill system.

[Thomkal]

I did learn a lot about spellcasting-tend to be not too fond of the full spellcasting classes as dying from starvation and always having to worry about that just isn't fun to me. But it was fun seeing how powerful they can get when they reach level 10 or so.

[klayman]

If you are open to suggestions let me know but if you're dying to try something, that's cool of course.


Yeah, I defer to somebody with more experience. The combos I have tried are the Hill Orc Priest, Kobold Chaos Knight, and the Demonspawn Wizard. I like the randomness of the mutations in the Chaos Knight and Demonspawn, and the followers of the Hill Orc Priest, but it's more important that everybody enjoys playing the character. I don't know how 'fun' any of those choices are.

I don't know how 'fun' any of those choices are.

One of my suggestions would have been a Demonspawn Chaos Knight the Crawl equivalent of the Zangband BeastMan Chaos Warrior. Xom is unlike the other gods in that you don't really worship him, you just hope he likes you enough to give/do good things to/for you. Because if you ever hear, "XOM is Bored!" watch out! The bad things can be really bad till you amuse him somehow. And the gifts he gives can be, well, less than good. Like a choko(god gift). Combined with a Demonspawn's mutations, it's a combination that makes what really is just a fighter which could get boring after a while, into a you never know what to expect next fighter.

Here's a primer on Xom if you don't mind be spoiled:
Xom - CrawlWiki (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Xom)

Other suggestions would be to go to the stealthy route with a Halfling Hunter or Assassin. The Assassin in particular plays a whole different way as you try to sneak up on every mob you can to deliver a devastating backstab. And you might want to explore what backgrounds work best with a draconian. At level 7 they gain one of several colors which give them abilities that can determine your future path in terms of skills to use/way to play from that point on. Monk or Artificer could be good choices there. And if you're tired of worrying about food and carrying around weapons/armor till you can figure out what they are and what will work best for you, a Ghoul Monk takes care of that nicely.

A old background that was removed from 0.8 (Crusader) has returned in 0.9 with a new name, Skald, and is a warrior-mage hybrid with spells than enhance your weapon with elemental power (fire, cold, and poison) and spells that protect you (a new shield spell, regeneration, and repel missiles. Another good choice for Draconian if you want to use that race.

Hope these help, go with whatever sounds coolest to you Klayman!

[thesloppy]

I'm still trying to work with Merfolk Assassin, but man it's fucking hard. Despite talking about how this competition has increased my CRAWL abilities, none of those skills seem to carry over to Assassin.

[klayman]

I remember the Zangband Beastman Chaos Warrior comp we had a long time ago. That was some seriously messed up fun. We'll try the Demonspawn Chaos Knight for giggles.

[Sporkimata]

I just played a game as an Orcish Priest that was quite a bit of fun. The ability to get the orcs to follow you is pretty damn cool, and helpful. Well until you read a scroll that explodes and they all get pissed and kill you, but the way of the game.
