Title: Crawl Relay Run - Over
Post by: Acidus on April 21, 2009, 11:18:31 AM
New forum, new topic for the game.

Copypasta from last thread:

1.  Get a clean version of Crawl 0.4.5. (http://crawl-ref.sourceforge.net/)  There have been several changes made from v0.4.3 and v0.4.4 so some of the information may not translate well between the versions.  More so, you'll want the 32x32 tile graphical version that comes with mouse support unless you're hardcore from the command prompt days.

3.  To play, you'll have to sign up in this topic.  You'll be put at the end of the list.

4.  When your turn comes, you'll be handed the save file via rapidshare, mediafire, mega upload, or some other site.  You'll stick that in the saves file and start up the game.  You'll then have roughly 5000 turns to play.  To check how many turns you've used, just hit Shift and E.  As you play your turn, you are to keep track of a journal of important events that happen.  You can take screenshots or keep a very accurate pictureless journal as you play.  Screenshots are better.

5.  Keep image amounts to a minimum.  56kers still exist. Screw 56kers, I want full documentation!  Anyone who fails to keep up screenshots in his or her run will be ignored and we'll revert to the last save file.

6.  Once your 5000 turns are up (we allow some slight deviation, you can stop at say 5045 or something), save, copy to the files to a zip folder and upload it to a file sharing site.

7.  If you take way too many turns (6000+), we'll politely tell you that you fail, but take the save files anyway.  If you reach 7000, you're off the list for the rest of the game.

8.  If you take more than 3 days (72 hours) taking your turn, we'll skip you and give the save file to the next person in line.

9.  You may sign up again when your turn is over.

10.  Losing is fun.  If you die, just log that and we'll tack it onto the number of times we've lost and continue from the last save file.  Don't worry, the game is meant to be hard.  If you're inexperienced, take this chance to play a high level character and learn more about the game.

11. However, it's not fun if you save the file and give it to the next person with 3HP and surrounded by tough enemies.  We'll consider that your death and revert back to the previous save file.

12.  New rule, if you have bone files in your saves, copy those bone files and stick them in with the save file you'll be uploading.  We want many, many ghosts to deal with this time around.

13. SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME RULE ADDED BY ANATHE: AT THE END OF YOUR POST, STATE WHETHER YOU'RE UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND
OR NOT. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS RULE, IT MAKES KEEPING THE LIST EASIER.

14.  Feel free to suggest adding in anything I missed on this list of rules.

Waiting List

None, unless anyone wants to start another run, which I don't think will be very soon.

T'was the maiden was back in the mines
Her stomach slightly empty
Of a great battle there were signs
To leave was mighty tempty.

She fled the mines, fearful of lords
Who would cleave stone and metal alike
Taking pride in their axes and swords
And their occasional pike.

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1317/crawl2.png)

T'was not to be, how though
For a party of orcs laid in wait
Warriors and priests who worshipped Beogh
With a weakling for the bait.

She stepped forward, spell ready
With a word, a cloud arose
The fumes left the orcs unsteady
So it would not come to blows.

(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/3783/crawl3.png)

During the battle a centaur rode
To cleave our unlikely hero.
But little know it would soon explode
Right before her mana went to zero.

She slew them all and strived on
Triggering a trap on the floor.
But she pressed on, and came upon
A very much mundane door.

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9425/crawl4.png

It swung open, and orcs leapt out
A space apart from the girl
But with a blast of greenish magic
Their vision was left in a swirl.

(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1271/crawl5.png)

She struck them down, and left them be
To continue on her quest
A bloodstained armor did she see
To equip it would be best.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6607/crawl6.png)

She donned the armor and went on her way
Grabbing a wand in a corridor
She strode along fearlessly, but say,
Who opened that door?


(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4364/crawl7.png)

T'was a ghost that did the deed
With an axe and arcane magic
With a spell, it made her bleed
It was soon going to be tragic.


(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9036/crawl8.png)

She fled, and set snares for it
Hurling bolts of flame
But it only did a little bit-
The ghost yet looked the same.

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3711/crawl9.png)

She blinked and vanished, in a snap
But the ghost's blows came like rain
A blink, and she fell into her own trap
And thus she was slain.

Patchouli is dead. I recommend grabbing the leather armor and leaving that floor as soon as possible. (If I'm not mistaken, the penalty to magic is the equal to the penalty to EV. Leather armor doesn't give that much of a penalty.)

Sign me up for the next free turn.

[18:32]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Well let's start
[18:33]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   This is The Astral Pancake
[18:33]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Joining me are...
[18:33]   <Ramus>   Ramus and...
[18:34]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Wake up Xan before I strangle him through standard TCP/IP connections
[18:34]   <Xan>   Sorry.
[18:34]   <Xan>   Here's Xan
[18:34]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   When we last left off, some asshole left a shit load of ghosts running around the dungeon
[18:35]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Isn't that right Totaku?
[18:35]   <Xan>   Silly Totaku and his ghosts.
[18:35]   <Ramus>   Eh...
[18:35]   <Ramus>   Yeah.
[18:35]   <Ramus>   Let's just try not to die, right?
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/7842953.png)
[18:35]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Anyways, I still wondered why we didn't ID the wands
[18:36]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   It would have been useful to have a wand of fireball, yes?
[18:36]   <Ramus>   Always.
[18:36]   <Ramus>   Is that even a question?
[18:36]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Rhetorical
[18:36]   <Ramus>   Right.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8076078.png)
[18:36]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Okay, Fire and Magic Dart
[18:36]   <Xan>   Because I already said what they were.
[18:36]   <Xan>   ...
[18:37]   <Ramus>   Xan!
[18:37]   <Ramus>   That's save scumming!
[18:37]   <Xan>   Yes?
[18:37]   <Ramus>   How dare you
[18:37]   <Xan>   Hush.
[18:37]   <Ramus>   Eh, whatever.
[18:37]   <Xan>   And you've done it too.
[18:37]   <pesco47>   Is this supposed to be your commentary log?
[18:37]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Hey, I was the one that dissected Totaku's ghost
[18:37]   <Xan>   Good job.
[18:38]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Getting aside from the point, let's actually start moving
[18:38]   <Xan>   Yes
[18:38]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   To the Dungeon!
[18:38]   <Xan>   TO THE DUNGEON!
[18:38]   <Ramus>   To the...
[18:38]   <Totaku>   Whateverok
[18:38]   <pesco47>   Toilet?
[18:38]   <Totaku>   I'm back
[18:39]   <Ramus>   Geh, this won't work.
[18:39]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   TOTAKU YOU SON OF A BITCH
[18:39]   <Ramus>   Pancake, just work with Xan.
[18:39]   <Totaku>   What happened Pancake?
[18:39]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Nothing
[18:40]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I was joking around, now I wish a horrible painful death upon you
[18:40]   <Totaku>   I'm waiting to hear your fate
[18:40]   <Totaku>   muahahahah!!!!
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8268625.png)
[18:40]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Wow, a room full of orcs? Whatever shall I do?
[18:41]   <Totaku>   And while I'm at I'll will continue my reaver dwarf production plant
[18:41]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Totaku, I hate you so much
[18:41]   <Xan>   Sure.
[18:41]   <Xan>   Yeah.
[18:41]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   The answer to a room full of orcs is pumping full of toxic gases
[18:41]   <Xan>   Yeah.
[18:42]   <pesco47>   Throw in a female orc!
[18:42]   <Totaku>   good thinking
[18:42]   <Xan>   Is this floor 8?
[18:42]   <Ramus>   Female orcs don't exist.
[18:42]   <Xan>   Cause that's where the ghost spawns.
[18:42]   <pesco47>   PHB2 begs to differ
[18:42]   <Xan>   And they do exist in ADOM
[18:43]   <Xan>   Pancake?
[18:43]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Okay, I turned off training for all magic skills except for Conjurations and Spellcasting
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8451906.png)
[18:43]   <Xan>   Not even fire magic?
[18:44]   <Ramus>   We need fire magic.
[18:44]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Okay, fire magic but none of the others
[18:44]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Also the orc room has been invaded by Cloudkill
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8539796.png)
[18:45]   <Xan>   CLOUDKILL!
[18:45]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Moving along
[18:45]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh joy
[18:45]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Wandering Mushrooms
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8625171.png)
[18:46]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   These guys usually appear with a specific Lair entrance or Vault
[18:46]   <Totaku>   They're in the dungeon
[18:46]   <pesco47>   Or they just appear wherever they feel like
[18:46]   <pesco47>   Cause they're wandering you know
[18:46]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   These enemies actually follow you but outside of your field of vision
[18:47]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   They are a pain in the ass if you forget that one is following you
[18:47]   <Xan>   Don't they all do that if they know you're nearby?
[18:47]   <Ramus>   Really?
[18:47]   <Ramus>   I never knew that.
[18:47]   <Ramus>   I just run up and smack it around and move on.
[18:47]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   However they are about as dangerous as a sack of kittens when you can see them
[18:47]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   In other words, free EXP
[18:47]   <Ramus>   So wait, how are they dangerous again?
[18:47]   <Xan>   I dunno, sacks of kittens are pretty deadly...
[18:48]   <Ramus>   I don't care if cats can murder in e3 of D&D, I fail to see how 'Shrooms are dangerous.
[18:48]   <pesco47>   Ever had Shrroms Ramus?
[18:48]   <pesco47>   Shrooms*
[18:48]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   They deal somewhat high damage for the level that we are at
[18:49]   <Xan>   But do they make the screen trip out?
[18:50]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No
[18:50]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   It's dead, yay for EXP
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8839453.png)
[18:50]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Moving on
[18:50]   <Xan>   hooray.jpg
[18:50]   <Totaku>   No ghosty yet?
[18:51]   <Totaku>   You must be lucky?
[18:51]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No ghost
[18:51]   <Totaku>   lucky you
[18:51]   <Xan>   Did you use the bone files?
[18:51]   <Ramus>   No images yet?
[18:52]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Ahaha, gnoll thinks that throwing nets are useful against mages
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/8944890.png)
[18:52]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Also I'm taking pics as I go
[18:53]   <Xan>   Gnolls are not known for their inteligence.
[18:54]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Isn't it sad that once you get poison resist, contaminated meat is
actually safer?
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9242843.png)
[18:54]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Wait
[18:54]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No ghost?
[18:54]   <Ramus>   Did you put the bone files in?
[18:55]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Yes
[18:55]   <Ramus>   Lucky so far then.
[18:55]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh well, Totaku probably has more bullshit in store for us...
[18:55]   <Ramus>   Always.
[18:56]   <Totaku>   Everyone know I'm good at making a challege hard. :P
[18:56]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Why are we carrying a potion of poison?
[18:56]   <Ramus>   Good question.
[18:56]   <Ramus>   We don't have evaporate, right?
[18:56]   <Ramus>   Dump it.
[18:56]   <Totaku>   I was wonder if we going to learn that spell where we thorw those potions
[18:56]   <Xan>   Because we needed another way to die.
[18:56]   <Totaku>   Yeah evapotate
[18:57]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   You mean awkwardly throw it.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9331375.png)
[18:57]   <Ramus>   No.
[18:57]   <pesco47>   Don't you know all the bottles in Crawl are plastic?
[18:57]   <Ramus>   You use evaporate and then throw it for an area attack.
[18:57]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Don't we have spells for that?
[18:58]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Poison isn't even that useful late-game
[18:58]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Before me and the rest of the group start arguing, floor 9!
[18:59]   <pesco47>   Not all potions evaporate into poison
[18:59]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Did someone suicide a character named Cirno on floor 9?
[18:59]   <Xan>   Possibly
[18:59]   <Ramus>   Why?
[18:59]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Because if they did I'm going to kill them
[18:59]   <Ramus>   Did you see a ghost named Cirno?
[18:59]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Not yet
[18:59]   <Ramus>   Okay.
[18:59]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I suspect Totaku
[18:59]   <Xan>   Then why are you asking?
[18:59]   <Ramus>   I'll put that on my to do list.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9483921.png)
[18:59]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh fuck
[18:59]   <Ramus>   Cirno, level nine ice elementalist to die on floor 9.
[18:59]   <Totaku>   Nope I didn't do a Cirno
[19:00]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Shit
[19:00]   <Ramus>   What?
[19:00]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Not one of these levels
[19:00]   <Xan>   Mini-vault?
[19:00]   <Xan>   Or something?
[19:00]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   The ones without any walls and are filled with pools of water with Electric Eels
[19:01]   <Xan>   Oh jeeze.
[19:01]   <Xan>   That's GAY!
[19:01]   <Ramus>   Sucks for wizards.
[19:01]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Of course they somehow stayed asleep as I lit them on fire
[19:01]   <Ramus>   I'd suggest just moving on.
[19:01]   <Ramus>   Wat.
[19:01]   <Ramus>   Hey, steam cooked eel.
[19:01]   <Ramus>   Can I have some?
[19:02]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No
[19:02]   <Ramus>   :(
[19:02]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Fortunately throw flame deals extra damage to them
[19:02]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   And I run into Pysche
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9661953.png)
[19:02]   <Xan>   Who?
[19:03]   <Ramus>   Ghost, I assume.
[19:03]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   A unique who just fumbled around with her knife as I clouded her
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9681625.png)
[19:03]   <Xan>   XD
[19:03]   <Ramus>   Lame.
[19:03]   <Ramus>   Never seen her before.
[19:04]   <Ramus>   Be sure to get an image if you can.

I forgot we leveled up.

[19:04]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I did
[19:04]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Electric Eels can now be killed in one hit
[19:04]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Joy
[19:05]   <Xan>   Yay.
[19:05]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh look, a hill giant
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9785296.png)
[19:05]   <Ramus>   Oh dear.
[19:05]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   MEPHITIC CLOUD
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9812125.png)
[19:05]   <Ramus>   Physical brute.
[19:05]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Now several times more well done
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9826765.png)
[19:06]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I would like to use this opportunity to say fuck you to Crawl
[19:07]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   What is with the branded Dwarven Shield I could have used a few games ago?
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9877421.png)
[19:07]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Turns until Iguana falls into water
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/9954281.png)
[19:08]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Nevermind, I forgot you can't drown in shallow water
[19:08]   <Xan>   3
[19:08]   <Xan>   Lulz.
[19:09]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   ARTEFACT ROBE
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10032703.png)
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10060875.png)
[19:09]   <Xan>   Yay!
[19:09]   <Ramus>   YES
[19:09]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Not that good
[19:09]   <Ramus>   What be it?
[19:09]   <Ramus>   :(
[19:09]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Only a plus 4 to DEX
[19:09]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No AC boost
[19:10]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I feel sad now
[19:10]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Let's take the anger out on something else
[19:10]   <Xan>   Yes.
[19:11]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   NEW BOOK
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10162312.png)
[19:11]   <Xan>   What is it?
[19:11]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   The book of Ice
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10177156.png)
[19:11]   <Xan>   HECK YEAH!
[19:11]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   We aren't even trained in Ice
[19:11]   <Xan>   More fire would be nice, but Ice will do...
[19:12]   <Ramus>   No.
[19:12]   <Ramus>   We need ice.
[19:12]   <Xan>   True, but it's useful.
[19:12]   <Ramus>   Elemental competence and stuff.
[19:12]   <Xan>   Yes.
[19:12]   <Ramus>   Besides, it isn't Patch if we aren't using every element.
[19:12]   <Ramus>   Throw Ice, please.
[19:13]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Okay, that is way too many yaks
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10282796.png)
[19:13]   <Xan>   Uh, that's bad, isn't it?
[19:13]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Badass Blink
[19:13]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Next floor
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/10468609.png)
[19:14]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Should we learn Bolt of Cold?
[19:14]   <Xan>   Sure.
[19:14]   <pesco47>   Learn Blizzard
[19:14]   <pesco47>   Or is it too high level for us?
[19:14]   <Xan>   Probably.
[19:14]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   It isn't in the book
[19:15]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I'm getting Bolt of Cold
[19:15]   <Xan>   Okay!
[19:15]   <Xan>   Now we have something to use against fire stuff.
[19:16]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I'm only worried about spell hunger now
[19:16]   <Xan>   Well, then turn off everything except Spellcasting.
[19:16]   <Ramus>   Eh, no.
[19:16]   <Ramus>   We need ice magic up.
[19:17]   <Xan>   We don't have it yet,
[19:17]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   We can barely cast it
[19:17]   <Xan>   So it should auto-train, yes?
[19:17]   <Ramus>   Besides, the more you cast a spell, the less it costs for you.
[19:17]   <Totaku>   We should just cast it till we learn it
[19:17]   <Ramus>   As far as food goes anyway.
[19:17]   <Totaku>   seriously
[19:17]   <Totaku>   That's how it works
[19:17]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Also I ID'd Recharge Wand, Teleport and MOTHERFUCKING EXPLOSION IN A SCROLL
[19:18]   <Xan>   Jeeze.
[19:18]   <Xan>   Explosion in a scroll?
[19:18]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Woops
[19:18]   <pesco47>   Emo scroll
[19:18]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   That was bad
[19:18]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Potion of degeneration
[19:19]   <Ramus>   Very bad.
[19:19]   <Ramus>   What dropped?
[19:19]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Our INT dropped, and went back up within 5 turns
[19:19]   <Xan>   Yay!
[19:20]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Then a Quasit lowered our DEX
[19:20]   <Ramus>   Heh.
[19:20]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   And we found an amulet of inaccuracy
[19:20]   <Ramus>   It's an easy demon to kill.
[19:22]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Narrowly avoided death there
[19:22]   <Xan>   From what?
[19:22]   <pesco47>   Picked up a handaxe od Joyful Slaughter
[19:23]   <pesco47>   Putting the laughter in slaughter
[19:23]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   There were a few ogres and hippogriffs
[19:23]   <Xan>   Ah.
[19:23]   <Xan>   Nasty.
[19:24]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Our STR went down due to illness
[19:24]   <Ramus>   Not a problem.
[19:24]   <Ramus>   Patch is actually quite strong for a deep elf wizard this time.
[19:24]   <Ramus>   No dying to gravity.
[19:24]   <Xan>   Yeah.
[19:25]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Invisible Orc Mage, what shall I do?
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/11021921.png)
[19:25]   <Ramus>   Run.
[19:26]   <Ramus>   If that thing melees you, you're screwed.
[19:26]   <Ramus>   Or find a hallways and hope it follows.
[19:26]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Actually the correct answer is remember it's old position and cloud it
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/11108031.png)
[19:26]   <Ramus>   Eh.
[19:27]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Found a ring of levitation
[19:27]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I find it odd that we haven't encountered any ghosts
[19:28]   <Ramus>   Sure those bone files are in the saves?
[19:28]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Stuff like bones.06a?
[19:29]   <Ramus>   That should be it.

[19:36]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   WHO SHALL WIN?
[19:36]   <Ramus>   Donald?
[19:36]   <Ramus>   Don't think I've met him either.
[19:37]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   We win
[19:37]   <Xan>   Good job.
[19:37]   <Totaku>   He's a wimp
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/11731218.png)

[19:38]   <Ramus>   Whatever, onto Suika now.
[19:39]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Now that this round is over with, I'm going to hang back on the previous floor
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/11779640.png)
[19:39]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Just so nothing stupid happens
[19:39]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   So until next time, this has been the IRC group!
[19:39]   <Totaku>   Guess that means I call Patchouli
[19:40]   <Ramus>   With too many guest commentaitors.
[19:40]   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Any last words?
[19:40]   <Ramus>   SUIKA!
[19:40]   <Ramus>   RIP AND TEAR!

Post by: Ramus on April 23, 2009, 10:06:43 PM
Okay, time to get this started.  Sorry for the delay, I had an LP to take care of as well as homework and I failed in several attmepts to get the video working so I'm just doing screenshot for now.

<Ramus> Oy!  This is Ramus.
<Xan> And this is Xan
<Ramus> And we're here to play Crawl.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Ramus> And by we, I mean me while he just tells me what I do wrong.
<Ramus> Okay, so new game.
<Ramus> We'll be playing as Suika for a change.
<Xan> This time, we go for RIP AND TEAR!
<Ramus> Cause to put it bluntly, Patch sucks.
<Xan> Well, more of: we suck with Patch.
<Xan> Pancake might disagree.
<Ramus> Bah.
<Ramus> I'll take him on in a debate later about Warriors VS Wizards.
<Xan> Fine.
<Ramus> (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/19.png)
<Xan> It'll be ammusing.
<Ramus> First view of the game.
<Ramus> As you'll notice, Suika is 8-bit.
<Xan> And Suika is dawwwwww
<Ramus> This is mainly because I couldn't find any good image of her to shrink down.
<Ramus> But whatever, she looks awesome.
<Ramus> Starting stats:
<Ramus> HP: 16
<Ramus> MP is a whomping 0.
<Ramus> Str 18
<Ramus> Int 7
<Ramus> Dex 11
<Ramus> AC 7, EV 7, SH 7.
<Xan> Probably the most rounded stats you can get out of a Dwarf FIGHT-TAR!
<Ramus> I'm fine with that.
<Ramus> This way we can't be auto-killed by walking into an orange statue.
<Ramus> I believe anyway.
<Xan> Well, one more int and we can't get killed.
<Ramus> I've only encountered them twice.
<Ramus> First time killed my minotaur fighter.
<Ramus> Second time I just ran with my wizard.
<Ramus> Onto the main game.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Ramus> First kill is to the right of the previous screenshot.
<Ramus> That's right, Suika killed a gecko with ease.
<Xan> That's not all she can do.
<Ramus> She can also kill a small snake!
<Ramus> Kill count: 2
<Xan> She should be capable of killing Sigmund at level 3.
<Xan> Easily.
<Xan> Assuming she doesn't get confused.
<Ramus> Kill count: 43
<Ramus> Ah!
<Ramus> Just 4.
<Xan> We wish it was 43.
<Ramus> Though have a kill count that high in under 100 turns would be awesome.
<Ramus> Right, one last thing.
<Ramus> Suika uses maces for this run.
<Ramus> It's fits her since she has a blunt weapon anyway.
<Xan> Indeed.
<Ramus> That and the people on IRC are paranoid about Hydras.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Ramus> Weren't you one of them?
<Ramus> 5
<Ramus> 6
<Xan> No.
<Xan> It was pancake.
<Xan> I don't even get that far most of the time.
<Ramus> OH SHI-
<Xan> >_>
<Xan> What, Gnolls?
<Ramus> No, no.
<Ramus> (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/20.png)
<Ramus> First floor and I get a mini vault.
<Xan> Niiiiice.
<Ramus> AND IT'S A CURSED SPEAR!
<Xan> Damn.
<Ramus> Darn you Crawl!  You've tricked me yet again!
<Ramus> Found potion of water though.
<Ramus> Woopie?
<Xan> Ah well, remove curse isn't hard to find...
<Ramus> 7
<Ramus> 8
<Ramus> Level 2 and kill count is 10
<Ramus> Hobogoblin!
<Ramus> 25 HP now.
<Ramus> SH is at 7.
<Xan> Yes!
<Ramus> And we've gotten a whomping 1 MP.
<Xan> MP isn't going to be increasing much.
<Xan> But, we aren't going to be using it.
<Ramus> Okay I'm beginning to think this thing is very, very inaccurate.
<Xan> The spear?
<Ramus> I'm killing faster with it BUT I CAN'T HIT!
<Ramus> Yes.
<Xan> It's innacurate because we have shit dex.
<Xan> And guess what, it's dex reliant.
<Xan> And we also don't have any ranks in spear
<Xan> *polearm
<Ramus> RAGE
<Ramus> It's also runed.
<Ramus> And cursed.
<Ramus> So I'm assuming the stats suck.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Xan> Well, just use the scroll roulette.
<Ramus> Not yet.
<Ramus> I need to find a good piece of armor.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Xan> Well, if we're really lucky, Gold Dragon hide.
<Ramus> Okay, missing a hobogoblin 8 times in a row is definitely not Suika fighting poorly.
<Ramus> And now it won't come, thank you Xan!
<Xan> Sorry.
<Ramus> Potion of degeneration.
<Ramus> We just got stupider by about two points.
<Xan> FUCK!
<Xan> FFFFFFFF
<Ramus> Okay, screw it, scroll roulette!
<Xan> Yeah, really.
<Ramus> Yeap, -3, -1 Spear.
<Ramus> Accuracy in is the dumps.
<Ramus> Attack isn't too bad.
<Xan> Jeeeze.
<Xan> Ditch it ASAP.
<Ramus> OH THANK GOODNESS
<Ramus> Scroll of remove curse.
<Xan> Yeah.
<Xan> Get rid of the spear.
<Ramus> I finally hit stuff again.
<Xan> Yay!
<Ramus> And not too soon, I've been needing a weapon to chop copses up again.
<Xan> That should never have been an issue, but YAY!
<Xan> Make sure it isn't cursed
<Ramus> It isn't.
<Ramus> Mace attack up.
<Xan> Okay, good.
<Xan> YES!
<Ramus> Not much going on in floor 2.
<Ramus> I've completed it though.
<Ramus> And here's the only thing remotely interesting...
<Xan> Well, that's not neccesarilly a bad thing.
<Ramus> (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/21.png)
<Ramus> First Gnoll of the game.
<Ramus> That halberd shall be MINE!
<Ramus> Ha ha ha!
<Ramus> Oh hey, another.
<Xan> Well, Gnolls are only a problem at level 1
<Ramus> LEVEL UP
<Ramus> Str up.
<Ramus> HP 30
<Xan> YES!
<Ramus> And another.
<Ramus> I think they have a camp behind this door or something.
<Xan> Gnolls rarely are alone.
<Xan> there's always like 3 of them
<Xan> or 4
<Xan> Sometimes there's a fortress with a moat and a bunch of the damn things.
<Ramus> Oh lol
<Ramus> Some gnoll just threw my cursed spear at me.
<Xan> XD.
<Ramus> Your flail is mine.
<Xan> Wait, he threw it, or tried to throw?
<Ramus> We're upgrading to flail.
<Ramus> He missed.
<Xan> Yay, flail.
<Xan> Is it dwarven?
<Xan> I wish it was dwarven.
<Ramus> Just a plain old flail.
<Ramus> Regardless, level will go up faster with this.
<Xan> Yes.
<Ramus> Jessica and she is moving quickly.
<Ramus> Guess what I'm going to do with a spell caster a large distance away from me?
<Ramus> Come on, it's not hard.
<Xan> Kill her?
<Ramus> WRONG
<Ramus> She'll kill me before I get close.
<Ramus> Instead:
<Ramus> GET BEHIND A WALL
<Xan> Oh, right, that.
<Ramus> (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/22.png)
<Ramus> By the time that image uploaded, she was dead.
<Xan> I see you got behind a wall.
<Ramus> Level 4.
<Ramus> Str up.
<Ramus> HP 37
<Ramus> And MP is finally 2.
<Xan> hooray.jpg
<Ramus> Gnoll rush.
<Xan> KEKEKE!
<Ramus> (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/23.png)
<Ramus> FLAIL OF DRANING?!
<Ramus> CRAP
<Xan> Watch as Suika squishes them al-
<Ramus> SHUT THE HECK UP
<Ramus> Scroll of fear to make the rest go ahead.
<Xan> I did.
<Ramus> But this jerk is brave.
<Ramus> He has a special weapon.
<Xan> He's a douche.
<Xan> But we want that flail.
<Ramus> MUTHERFUCKER IS DEAD
<Ramus> And that mace is MINE
<Xan> YES! YES!!!
<Ramus> Potion of mutation.
<Ramus> I lost 1 str but now I blink and have fire resistance.
<Ramus> Fair trade off.
<Xan> Yes.
<Xan> By blink, I hope you don't mean random teleport.
<Xan> Because that sucks.
<Ramus> WTF?!
<Ramus> Unarmed Gnoll had a wand of smite?
<Ramus> Game over  >_O
<Xan> >_<
<Xan> Smite sucks.
<Xan> Goddamnit.
<Ramus> Just a thought:
<Ramus> Or two actually.
<Ramus> 1. Have you ever gotten your hands on that lengendary wand of smite?
<Xan> No.
<Ramus> 2. Crawl hates me for this relay.


So let's see, kill history...
Died to an electric dart on floor 1.  It was a OHKO.
Died to a steam dragon on some floor.  It was a OHKO.
Died to wand of smite.  It was two hits but I was in a hallway.

File to come soon.

Anyway, Totaku, you're next, right?  Beware of running into a Ramus ghost.  He's been running around with a +4, +5 spear that returns to his hands when he throws it.


I'm going to take a break from this relay run.  At least for a short while.

You can just use a wand or a flame-branded weapon to kill hydras. Flaming weapons cauterize their heads so they can't grow back.

Post by: Totaku on April 24, 2009, 02:02:52 PM
Ok I've just completed my run of crawl! And boy this adventure could only be described as both epic and terrifying...

Picking up where Astral left off....

PAtchouli was down on the 10th floor, she realized that maybe the Lair was worth a visit. So she picked up a pair of elven gloves and she proceeded up the nearest set of stairs where in the end she confronted 2 Yaks at the moment she arrived on the 9th floor.

Thankfully with her quick thinking she managed to out thing the yaks by blinking and then gassing them.

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7704/picture1tvm.png)

From there she launched a few flames and thus burning the large bellowing beasts to a crisp.

She then proceed to the stairs and went up to the 8th floor which she returned to where the mushrooms surrounded the entrance to the lair...

She sliced through the mushrooms till she could make an opening which she could enter into and proceed down into the land of beasts known by all as "The Lair"...

(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9913/picture2oqq.png)

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/689/picture3wmj.png)

She picked up the unknown potion and ventured through till she spoted a grey rat. She though it would be a good time to test her new wand on the rat and when she waved it against the sleeping grey rat....

(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5842/picture4ikl.png)
It turned into a human!

The human turns to fight Patchy, but she put the human to waste very shortly with her flames as she continued forward....

She eventually spotted a strange lantern that caught her interest.
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4724/picture5hdyowm.png)

What could this lantern be? And could be of use? Patchouli grabs the lantern and decided to light it.

(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/195/picture6gow.png)

Suddenly the world around Patchouli looks different ans shadows begin to flicker off the walls, but the real surprise would come as she travled while she held her lamp...

(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9917/picture7vjh.png)

While it was hard to see at first, when she removed the lamp from her hand she could see that her own shadow had come to life! This could prove to be useful in the right situation if her shadow comes to life as it could aid her in combat.

(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5730/picture8wuq.png)
She turned a corner and confronted a brown snake. A more dangerous version of the regular snake as it's known to be slightly quicker and it's bites can hurt more than a regular snake...

However thanks to her talents to flamed the snakes and let her shadow finish the serpent off..
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8589/picture9z.png)

She also then confronted a giant centipede, a fragile bug that while not strong posesses powerful venom, but once again, thanks to her robe the bug was reduced to being nothing more than a speck of dirt to Patchouli's eyes, thus the flamed the centipede to it's end....

Her adventure would continue to prove that the lair was filled with all sort of bizzare facinating creatures ranging from giant slugs and snails....

(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6054/picture10t.png)

Giant Brown Frogs, a more agressive version of the giant frog.....

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/2037/picture11mvb.png)

And even chased by Giant Lizards and Gila Monsters....

But did this put an end to her adventure?
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4869/picture12r.png)

Nope for all she need to do was blink and flame these creatures...
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3706/picture13y.png)

From her fighting she eventually became better as she reached level 11!
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7029/picture14htc.png)

Patchouli then came across a ring, she picked it up and tried it, but couldn't do anything with it so that was when she decided to examine it.

She this cover that the ring was a....
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7291/picture15knf.png)

A powerful ring that can protect the wearer the pain and effects of draining moves to a certain extent.

But the scroll had more power... so she examined her potion she collected....

It turned out to be...
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/163/picture16ayh.png)

A potion that can be either promising or problematic as it often mutates a person giving them unique properties that can either benifit, or give someone as disadvantage when consumed....

And the scroll had more power...so she decided to look at her scroll and sae that it was a scroll of weapons enchantment I. Useful for having better accurate attacks with the weapon one wields.
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/153/picture17rvw.png)

Patchy continues to explore as she runs into an Orc. What could a creature like him be doing in the Lair anyways? No one knows, but he was burnt before he even noticed Patch...

But her adventure would be filled with more challenges as she ended up running into a her of Yaks!
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9079/picture18puf.png)

The beasts took noticed and changed of her and charged at her she use her gas cloud to confuse them and then chased flamed them, but she couldn't take all of them down as she was exhausted and several still came after her... so did she do?

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1208/picture19zjl.png)
Why she shut the door to keep the beasts out while relaxing in a small room.

Once she regained her stregnth, she laid waste to the beasts and burned them all along with a few rodents in the process. This was when Patchouli found a scroll...

She took a look at it and she couldn't belive what she had obtained...

(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7333/picture20f.png)

A scroll of Aquirement!

A scroll that blesses those with an item of thier choosing.

"Perhaps another book to add in the library...."

Upon her wished she obtained a powerful and useful book...
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7376/picture21g.png)

A book of Conjuration [Fire]!

With this, Patchouli could perfect her fire magic and thus decided to study Fireball!

(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/2374/picture22h.png)

Now she could lay to waste creatures in a group by creating firey explosions and with Mima's support the risks of her magic were not to be feared...

But that was not all to that adventure as she traveled onward she came across a strange room, she opened the door and found a Necromancer and some Sircarium of various mammals.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8218/picture23p.png)

With her new fireball magic she put the Necromancer and his icey creations to rest before they could even lay a finger on her.

(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7822/picture24g.png)
This was when Patchouli went inside the Necromancer's room and she spoted a door the lead to another room... what could be in that room? Treasue? Books? She opens the door and finds...

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1130/picture25.png)

Sricaruiums of various mammals... again!

Nothing Patchouli couldn't melt away though as she obtained alot of fire magic. It was when she eleminated these creatation that she heard a voice...

"Your studies have come along quite well pupil, take this book with you. You may find it useful."

At her feet stood a book which Patchouli opened and to her amazement, PAtchouli was bless by Mima with a book with powerful magic....
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3076/picture30a.png)

The Book of the Tempest! A powerful book of magic that pocesses great magical power! With the greatest spell being Shatter a powerful Earth elemental spell.

"This could be quite useful"

Patcholi takes the book and ventures onward...

She battles tons of green rats (slightly tougher rats when in packs, but are still very weak, plus poisonus meat, not that Patchy needs to worry about that.)
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8059/picture26r.png)

A vicious wolf...(Fast and quick creatures, can attack alot too, but can be taken down easily if you successfully hit it.)
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7681/picture27z.png)

Eventually Patchouli ventured down to the 3rd floor of the Lair, at first she just ran into a few yaks, but when she gotten through the area she realized it was rather small and seemed to pocessed very will to it... however, she found a shop.
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1093/picture28y.png)

Inside the shop she found out that it selled wands.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9673/picture29ukn.png)

Not much to pick from though... however she decided to but the wand of draining and paralysis as they will aid her in battle. She dumpped her wand of flame and magic dart want near the shop as the weight of the equipment was starting to get to Patchouli....

PAtchouli then decided return back upstairs and went to another flight of stairs, the weight of her items were still bothering her so she dumped her book of flame by the stairs. Before she went down.

It was here where Patchouli's greatest challenge would come...

At first it was simple, a few snakes, and mice... she even found a stairway leading to the Snake Pit, a lair filled with untold horrors and serpents.
(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/5153/picture31.png)

But this was when her peaceful trip would become violent as she discovered water nearby which  turned out to be a path leading to gathering of Centuars worshiping Malkelb. They turn and begin to fire thier arrow at Patchy as she makes her escape!

However the centuars catch up and she tried to turn them, but more keep coming! Eventually a greater threat appeared before her....Blink Frogs!

Blink frogs may look like ordinary frogs but are far the most dangerous of the frog group as they come in groups and hit hard and to top it, off blink into random locations.

Patchouli had no choice but to gas the centuars and frogs to pull a hasty retreat!

She bearly survived as she managed to climb up to the second floor where she would regain her strength. She ate a piece a bread and wait until she felt better before returning down stairs to fight off the rest of the creatures.

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/9690/picture32r.png)
About 2 brakes later all 5 centuars and 4 blink frogs were burned an eleminated.

Patchouli decide to look around the place and she discovered another unknown scroll.

Upon examining it, something hidious appeared before her!
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8707/picture33f.png)

It was an anbomination, and a friendly one too... This could prove to be a worthy ally for Patcholi while it was around. So she took the thing with her...

She then came across another set of stairs that lead to the Swamps, a dangerous marshy place full of many creatures that man would fear to face and a toxic like atmosphere making it hard to breath in....
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4360/picture34m.png)

Eventually she finished her exploring and decided to return to check out those two areas later so she went down to the 4th floor.
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3859/picture36uui.png)

The floor was very open with lots of water and who know what may appear before her. Patchouli had to prepare for the worst..

Her abamination vanished and it was just then, a Hippogriff appeared before her!
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1427/picture38r.png)

These creatures are sightly fast, but are most dangerous to face in direct combat in Patchouli's case as they will claw and rip her apart. So what she do against it?
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2954/picture39g.png)

Fireball it of course! The creature was burnt to a crisp and Patchouli decided to return back to the stairs and rest up beside them incase she had to face more creatures like it....

This thus ends my run for Patchouli in Crawl!

(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7501/crawl1.png)

Start!

I dropped the sling, blowgun, robe of fire resistance, lantern and 3 scrolls of remove curse. (Lair 4)

Going up...

(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1317/crawl2.png)

Grabbed a staff of cold. It'll come in useful later when we start learning ice spells, since ice spells really help in the late game.

I turned off fire magic. Spellcasting is the way to go, and a high spellcasting skill would give you a decent chance to cast just about any spell.

Made a stash of items and scrolls on Lair 1.

Memorized Animate Dead. We need some meatshields if we hope to survive.

Heading back down...


(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3783/crawl3.png)

Useful.

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9425/crawl4.png)



'Tis a spiny frog. They can do quite a bit of damage and kill you if you're not careful. Oh, and they're immune to poison, so Mephitic Cloud is out.

Slew it and shortly after came across...


(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1271/crawl5.png)

A komodo dragon.

These have a nasty diseased bite which would probably drop our stats if we don't treat it.

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6607/crawl6.png)

Necromancy has its perks. It's not a real dragon, mind, but it's still good.

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4364/crawl7.png)

After grabbing a few more corpses, Patchouli falls through a shaft!

Getting a little encumbered, so I wield-identify some of the items to get rid of useless ones-

(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9036/crawl8.png)

Handy. Though not entirely useful.

Found a book of necromancy, but we already had one so I left it.

(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3711/crawl9.png)

Wand stores seem to be in abundance today.

(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8760/crawl10.png)

Leveled up. I increased Strength, to avoid an orange statue-instakill.

(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3039/crawl11.png)

Excellent.

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7223/crawl12.png)

A griffon! I've never seen one.

It did a bit of damage. Moved behind a meatshied and fled... And it disappeared. Just like that. No exp message, my meatshields were still intact. Just poof.

I would have liked to add it to our corpse collection, too.

I come across a grey disc and pick it up. Knowing these things...

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8541/crawl13.png)

That's nice. (Note that there are two such discs on this floor.) Unfortunately, you need a high air magic skill to reliably use this.

After some fighting and non-eventful item aquisition, I head back up to add to the stash on Lair 1.

Going down, I killed a giant iguna and got this:

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6619/crawl14.png)

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7402/crawl15.png)

Detect Creatures is useful, so I got that.

Moving on...

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2725/crawl16.png)

Most excellent.

Nearly died to a black snake when Patchouli ran out of mana. Had to quaff three heal wound and a potion of speed to escape.

And on that note, I'll stop my turn at 24484 turns.

Patchouli ran out of magic on several occasions. This is highly worrying, as it may result in death down the line. We should consider either training Patchouli in Short Blades and Fighting, or training Invocations to use Sif Muna's magic restoration ability effectively.

About that.  Wizards are not meant to be played on the move.  They're skinny little pricks that don't exercise so they do need to stand around for a while every few minutes to regain HP, and more importantly, MP.

This may mean getting less done or having to eat more, but it also means a reliable amount of MP at any given time.


Warriors and assassins and other such physical classes don't need to do this as they don't use MP. Also, Patch trained in weaponry?  Even in emergencies, she not what you could call... competent.

ouch, i died lol but here's the commentary.
Take Sylon's save btw.

a few tips from me on what to do.

if you go down the stairs, two wild dogs are around with 2 grey rats.
Wait for it and kill the three with a single Fireball ^^ u doubt me, look at the screenies for how i did it >3

A blacksnake is around, kill it with Frost, it works wonders >3
if you see a Giantslug. put a flame in front of it
retreat and see it catch fire, freeze it for an instant dried slug.
Death Yaks will charge through fire so the same tech might work ^^

So yea, the commentary

--

1. Got down, retreated to the wall and with  a single hit...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/1.png)

3 Kills. Yay!

Patchouli dispatched the Snakes and the Wolfs slowly.. and steadily before realizing Ice is lethal to them..... Patchey took out a firedrake with Ice with one shot, but after the Firedrake took out a few of the Dogs with it.


Met a slug..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/3.png)

it killed itself there..

Slugs are evil.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/4.png)
Herd of Evil yaks... awesome.
I set a fire to stop them and Spewed Evil Noxious Gas... but i didn't expect them to charge forward like crazy to get at me.

It was a close call but i took out 5 of them by retreating back.
and I met with a Blacksnake that i dispatched with a Single Frost spell ^^

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/5.png)

Yep so here's a NEW crystal, didn't take it for fear of exploding in my face...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/6.png)
Well you look at that, a Thorn frog... how cute... Frosted.


(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/7.png)
A new Floor here... i dispatched a Yak before i spotted a brownsnake rearing it's ugly head. I retreated fast but spammed the wrong skill for rats... awesome...

But i took out the brown snake with an off target Fireball ^^, i targeted it 1 square beside it and BAM.. Bye bye snake.

I tried going to the pits but the Slime spat acid a turn after i tried to get out of the pits.
A green rat was valiantly killed in the exchange..

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/8.png)
A random screenshot but if u notice the map i scramed out of another area as it was populared with DeathYaks and blacksnakes.
...


Next Floor..
A Blink Frog... a good sign?

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/9.png)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/10.png)
... nope.. a hydra came out... i blinked out immediately.. knowing that there was another blinkfrog and a slug at the other entrance. Normally i could take care of it but with so many threats...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/dwrulez/Crawl/11.png)
I took a Blinkfrog Zombie with me just for safety, it was caught napping with a frost blast.


I took out another Elephant Slug, was going after a Blink Frog when suddenly, i was attacked by a Spine Frog..
Darn, I was low on health, mp and options.
I retreated... and when i was cornered.. I busted a Scroll of Fog and in the confusion, which my blinkfrog zombie killed the blink frog and i escaped.

Most epic escape route i ever did but it was not to be...

while heading towards the stairs, the horned frog came after me..

stupidly i blasted it with fog instead of using Frost...

...

the next floor is already generated, Sylon scramed out so yea.


And pesco: the wand is not enough to save me when the draining won't kill it in one hit and it's in front of me.
The scroll i busted out a Fog Scroll and the teleport won't kick in fast enough.

I didn't depict the epic fight with a Blacksnake and a Deathyak death trap that i won with a draining wand and the implosion of Yak with a fireball skill.

That said, i request for Lightning to be learnt if any1 stumbles upon one. With that i will K.O 3 Hydras with a single spell.

We do in fact have lightning in our stash on Lair 1, if my memory serves.

@Pesco and Ramus: Resting is good and all, but on occasion (Especially on those open levels) you may get swarmed by enemies. Having to cast Mephitic Cloud several times to keep them off your back before blasting them with spells to finish them off will drain your MP terribly.

Either way, it might be a good idea to make use of Sif Muna's MP restoration ability.

Pesco speaks the truth.  Especially since if you're not on a floor in Crawl, the game freezes that floor as is, no activity happens, so nothing will change while you're up or down stairs.

Also, sign me up.  SUIKA GO!

Post by: Totaku on April 25, 2009, 10:00:23 PM
I feel like I have to help bail you guys out occasionally. :P But anyways I made some progress for you all.

I didn't cover much since the last two attempt explained the majority but I'll cover what I can.

Basiclly Patchouli's quest at this point is dangerous from the very start. As soon as she traveled down to the 8th floor of the lair she nearly faced her own death when she faced off against a few black snakes and War Dogs. Far more dagerous creatures that one faces within the layer...

(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5703/picture1cqi.png)

She was lucky to survive. After several rests and careful planning with her fights, Patchouli returned down stairs and found a marble ring, she put it on, but couldn't tell what it did, so she went and use her scroll to identify it.

It was a Ring of Fire. A useful ring that can grant Patchouli more power with her fire and improve her fire defense, but it also weakens her resistance to ice.

She eventually confronted a herd of Death yaks, powerful evil beast that roam the lower ends of the lair. Patchouli was able to lay short work to them though by fireballing them.


And with thier corpses, she summoned them from the dead to become her loyal servants.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1200/picture2oem.png)

With powerful undead beasts on her side Patchouli could feel secure for a while as she continued her quest.

Her undead servants would prove to be very useful  as they took out many obsticals that stood among patchouli.

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6365/picture3gsc.png)

However at one point, Patchy had to face a large number of beast at one point on the floor. Did this mean trouble for her?
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1897/picture4iqj.png)

Luckly, no it didn't at all! Her spells took care of some but her highlight was definetely her fireball spell as it took out 4 of them in one blow!
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4269/picture5ssu.png)

Patchouli was victorious and she chopped up the hippogriff and made the rest of the corpses into undead followers.
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9822/picture6icu.png)

After a short trip later Patchouli found the stairway to the Slime Pit on Floor 8. A place where dangerous acidic slime lives which can ruin your armor very quickly if enganged in close range. And there are lots of different types of slime that are rather threatening.

She decided it would be best to return at a later time and proceeded to the 9th floor.

At first all was easy as if there weren't may problems for her to face. She ran into an elephant slug along the way.

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8234/picture8evl.png)

Not that it was dangerous or anything...

But what became the true problem on that floor were Death Yaks. The floor was swarming with them. And this made her adventure very difficult for her as she would be facing these creatures regularly. Having to fireball them constantly, hunger became an issue for her so she had to retreat and recover countless times to be able to stand up to the yaks that wait for her.

Eventually Patchouli was able to dispose of some of the yaks and a then a giant snail which lead her to become...
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/596/picture9uva.png)

Level 13!

After eating some bread and recoving her magic she returned downstairs and met a very strange bug...
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4905/picture10x.png)

A Boulder Beetle, a very slow moving, but powerful creature, who also has a boat load of HP and Defense due to it's rock like body. But with PAtchouli's magic, she eventually weaken the beetle to the point that it ran and so she chased it and then finished it with her sword by poisoning it.

Many death yaks and blink frogs later....

Patchouli found some wands, one of them she tried and discovered that it was a teleportation wand. A very useful wand when it wants to work. It can be reliable, but sometimes, it may not always work...

The other is unknown at the moment. And eventually after taking out a Brown Snake Patchouli heard a voice...

"Well done my loyal apprentice, I shall grant you this book for you to use."

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8049/picture11qlv.png)
Below her was a book. She was interested to see what was inside it.....

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6678/picture12bhy.png)

It was the book of Control!

With this Patchouli could make use of several things from within this book.

Ranging from controling animals, the undead, control teleportation, cause confusion to everyone that sees her and even make everyone that sees her fall to sleep.

A rather useful book that Patchouli could use, but for now she stashed it in her collection...

After a long and intense battle against more death yaks, lizards, and blink frogs, and other creatures....Patchouli nearly cleared the floor, found a ring of dexterity +2 and was being chased by a komodo dragon before she found a safe spot to rest....
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4446/picture14imh.png)
I stopped at 30000 turns even. The floor been pretty much cleared on the most part. And Patchy's only one or two pieces of meat overloaded.

Just becarful, as a Kimodo Dragon may still be around and also a few death yak....

This concludes my turn in Crawl....

Sign me up for the next turn with Patchouli.

Since MediaFire is down, I'll go put it on RapidShare.

Up the deaths to 9. One of the ghosts Totaku put in killed Suika just now.

[09:22] <Xan> Hey, this is Xan
[09:22] <The_Astral_Pancake> This is a hydra
[09:22] <Xan> Yay, hydra.
[09:23] <Xan> I'm totally excited.
[09:23] <Xan> That was sarcasm, for those who can't tell.
[09:23] <The_Astral_Pancake> The hydra head hits

[09:24] <Xan> No shut up.
[09:24] <Xan> *Now
[09:24] <Xan> Besides, Suika, Mountain Dwarf Fighter and drunkard, is on floor 1
[09:25] <Xan> There are no hydras on D:1
[09:25] <The_Astral_Pancake> D:
[09:25] <Xan> Am I cursed with shitty stat rolls?
[09:25] <The_Astral_Pancake> Yes
[09:25] <Xan> 16 strength is WAY too low.
[09:26] <The_Astral_Pancake> How about starting with 3 INT?
[09:26] <Xan> Would be bad.
[09:26] <Xan> I have 7.
[09:26] <The_Astral_Pancake> Then finding a cursed ring of -4 INT?
[09:26] <Xan> And forgetting how to breath.
[09:26] <Xan> Yes, yes, I know.
[09:26] <Xan> What's the text for 0 Dex death, by the way?
[09:27] <Xan> Actually, is that even possible?
[09:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> Yes
[09:27] <Xan> I don't think I've ever seen single digit dex scores.
[09:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> Getting sick will lower stats
[09:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> Also there a necromancy miscasts
[09:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> As well as Tartarus
[09:27] <Xan> Ah.
[09:28] <Xan> So what does it say?
[09:28] <The_Astral_Pancake> You can add in stat modifiers in your equipment
[09:28] <Xan> Right.
[09:28] <Xan> Yeah, I get it.
[09:28] <Xan> But what's the death message?
[09:28] <Xan> Also, fuck, cursed gloves.
[09:28] <Xan> Oh wait, THERE'S NO REASON TO REMOVE GLOVES!
[09:28] <Xan> EVAR!
[09:29] <The_Astral_Pancake> Aside from putting on better gloves
[09:29] <Xan> Yeah.
[09:29] <Xan> Well, that probably isn't happening.
[09:30] <Xan> Anyhow, Suika's rip and tear is going well.
[09:30] <Xan> FFFF, the first scroll I pick up is curse armor.
[09:30] <The_Astral_Pancake> Crawl loves you
[09:30] <Xan> Yeah.
[09:30] <The_Astral_Pancake> In the sadist way
[09:31] <Xan> Fortunately, it decides to curse my shield, rather than something I'm likely to switch in the immediate future.
[09:31] <Xan> Because in my experience, better armor pops up more often than better shields.
[09:31] <The_Astral_Pancake> Jelly corrodes your shield to -8?
[09:31] <Xan> That would suck.
[09:32] <Xan> None of those that I can see.
[09:33] <Xan> Ooh, I found a runed short sword.

[09:35] <Xan> If I was an elf or spriggan, I would be quite pleased
[09:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> Unless we are going to be training in long swords as well, toss the damn thing
[09:36] <Xan> I did.
[09:37] <Xan> Well, wonderful.
[09:37] <Xan> I find a wand, after I waste a scroll of recharging.
[09:37] <Xan> Yay.

[09:38] <The_Astral_Pancake> Don't use it yet
[09:39] <Xan> I won't

[09:39] <Xan> Lulz
[09:40] <Xan> You are correct!
[09:41] <Xan> Hooray for more Totaku ghosts!
[09:41] <Xan> This time it's his brother's Skirmisher.
[09:41] <Xan> Did I mention I hate Totaku yet?
[09:42] <Xan> I'm pretty sure he's been the cause of more of my deaths on this relay than anyone else.
[09:42] <The_Astral_Pancake> No
[09:42] <Xan> Well, I hate Totaku.
[09:42] <Xan> But not really.
[09:42] <Xan> I hate his ghosts.
[09:43] <Xan> I probably could have won, but the ghost had a key advantage.
[09:43] <Xan> Guess what.
[09:43] <The_Astral_Pancake> Fireball?
[09:43] <Xan> Plate Mail
[09:43] <The_Astral_Pancake> Enchanted items?
[09:43] <The_Astral_Pancake> Well that is not much of a advantage
[09:44] <The_Astral_Pancake> Also Paletweb order get~
[09:44] <Xan> When you're level 3 and don't have good damage output, it is
[09:46] <The_Astral_Pancake> So how many Totaku deaths have we gained?
[09:48] <Xan> 3
[09:48] <Xan> At least


So yeah, sign me back up. I want revenge.

Oh gosh.  That was a very scary run.  Stupid ghosts.  I think I might have screwed up the entire thing too, due to me quaffing all 3 scrolls of teleportation, 7 healing potions, and 3 cure wounds potions in the process of 4 levels.  Stupid ghosts and stupid orc wielding an orc flail of distortion.

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4382/80208510.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=80208510.jpg)

Oh yay, I forgot that you could search for secret doors in the game.  Anyways, hopped into the hatch immediately without a second thought.  Luckily, this brash action didn't give any bad consequences.

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5268/91178396.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=91178396.jpg)

Oh gosh, almost immediate instant statdeath; a -6 cursed ring of intelligence, yipee.  It would be like your IQ dropping sevenfold.  This game hates me already, but then again, it would have been fun forgetting how to breathe or something like that.  Other than that, nothing much of note; other than surprisingly easy kills of sorts.

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5904/75314452.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=75314452.jpg)

This made me feel as if I deserved the statdeath.  Whoops.

After that, found some scrolls of remove curse, which is pretty welcome.  Threw the ring onto the ground as soon as I got it uncursed.

On level 3...

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3455/66799237.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=66799237.jpg)

This happened, I guess.  assasin the minotaur fighter.  Used my wand of flame 6 times rather foolishly, thinking that I could easily dispatch it, but strangely, no, I couldn't (it seemed to work with my ghosts).  Quite flustered, but managed to flee upwards and go to another part of stage 3, killing things as normal.

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8662/75884757.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=75884757.jpg)

Found the temple and worshipped Chokowaru.  I hope you guys are okay with this; he's my personal favourite...

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3455/66799237.th.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=66799237.jpg)

Returned to level 3 and suddenly got cornered by the ghost.  Could have used the teleportation scrolls but oh well, I felt that I wanted to kill it.  Bad news is that I had to potion roulette and quaff lots of healing potions and 1 cure wound potions, but finally reached level 6 as a result.

There are no images for the next part of the run due to massive adrenaline-induced phail on my part.  Mima the deep elf wizard appeared along with a huge number of gnolls, orc wizards, and orcs and a snake.  Even worse, one of the orcs had a flail of distortion which halved my hp.  Cue massive use of scrolls of teleportation, potions, stair-dancing, and getting the distortion flail.  Unfortunately, this was my first time getting a weapon with such a brand, so I didn't know that it caused enemies to teleport randomly as a result.  Not too sure what the next person would do with that distortion flail, though it does good damage.  Hopefully we don't get banished.

I ended the run at level 4, with Mima still on level 5.  The only good thing acquired was one wand of confusion, which might help against Mima.  Other than that, good luck to the next person.  Ended at around 5200+ turns.

Patchouli Crawl Run, go.

Totaku has left Patchouli overloaded. This is not a good thing, as she would be unable to go up stairs and moves slower. In fact, it may very well get you killed. Avoid this at all costs.

After dropping some rotting meat, I reduce the load to encumbered and head back up to Lair 1, to deposit some unused items.

Heading back down, into Lair 10.

(http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9889/crawle1.png)

Accidentally went down a trapdoor. I didn't realise I was on Lair 9 at that time, and thought it would get me down faster. Ah well.

(http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/6398/crawle2.png)

Food is good, but a meatshield is more important at this time.

Got a pair of orcish boots. We don't have any boots, so this is a good thing. Also, amusingly enough, for all the rings we have found, we do not have a single amulet.

(http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9004/crawle3.png)

Why hello there.

Expecting a fight, and my health bar only slightly more than half full, I don a ring of fire and flee behind my zombie before resting.

Heading back I found my zombie intact, and no traces of the fight. The mysterious missing enemy (TM) strikes again!

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1466/crawle4.png)

Aaaaand we've cleared the Lair.

At this point I must point out that Conjurations and Fire magic should be turned off, and stay that way. They are at a decent level already, and spellcasting would be a much better skill to train since it raises the chance of casting all spells and improves MP.

(http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1705/crawle5.png)

We're finally out of the Lair, and back into this cozy dungeon full of things that want to kill us.

(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5026/crawle6.png)

Patchouli comes across a dusty old bookstore. This bookstore is filled with expensive tomes.

Book of Power seems useful, but otherwise the bookstore doesn't have much for us to use.

The next few turns pass uneventfully, until...

(http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/8748/crawle7.png)

I wish for a book, and...

My wish came true!

(http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/1425/crawle8.png)

I also picked up a staff next to the scroll. We don't have a scroll of identify on us, but it seems to be a staff of necromancy. (When casting Animate Dead, Crawl shows an extra line saying 'You feel a surge of power'. This is not present when the staff is not being wielded.)

Just after writing that, I cast a spell.

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7196/crawle9.png)

Close enough.

Found a potion of mutation and a scroll of identify. Nothing too notable.

I headed down the next floor. After killing a two headed ogre and a zombie, I head upwards.

(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6053/crawle10.png)

And find myself ambushed.

I teleport, and find myself in a room with two bees. I dispatch them easily enough, but am running low on magic. Then a mottled dragon bursts through the door... I teleport, but not before it breathes on me. Many scrolls were lost trying to put out that fire.

Slowly, I work my way back and kill several enemies, including a cyclops. But I eventually find myself running low on mana, and still under attack- This time, by an invisible assailant.

I use several potions, but past our only potion of heal wounds, they are useless. I then use a scroll of fear, which amusingly says 'Nothing appears to happen'. This stops the attacks, however, at least for a time.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/920/crawle11.png)

We receive a gift!

Got another scroll of aquirement! I use it promptly, since the mottled dragon is just next door.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5175/crawle12.png)

I finally escape this floor, going up.

And thus I end this save at 36373 turns. A little too high, yes, but I did not wish to leave the next player with the task of having to deal with a horde of strong enemies.

We are not in immediate danger, but going down is very much dangerous. Remember to use your wands if you get stuck.

Due to low HP (9 total) and low accuracy (-1, +3 flail), I wanted to get out.

If you don't have 7zip, go get it now.  I just reduced that file size down to 7% of what its full size was.  And yes, I can't pronounce SuKIa's name right.

Finally, for anyone who was confused there as to why I teleported, I was down to 9 HP, poisoned (STUPID FLAIL) and glowing with magical energy (which could be mean death at any moment) and continually missing the enemies (STUPID -1, +3 FLAIL) so I wanted to get out, least to say.


One last thing, I have both Suika and Patch together in their with the title and player image files, DON'T SEPARATE THEM.

Post by: Totaku on May 05, 2009, 12:30:48 AM
Well I don't have much of a thing to say here except.... Sylon why did you decide to go deeper into the dugeon? We should of gone into the snake pits or Swamp.

We have poison resistant equipment and we should of gone up, regardless.. my plan was, being my gusty self, to go down and face the terrors on floor 13th floor before going to the Lair. At least that's what I was planning.

It began smoothly...

I bought some scrolls of identify and and scrolls of remover curse from the nearby store.

Then I went down and after facing a few killer bees I ran into this thing...

(http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/4948/picture1asg.png)

Meet the moltted dragon, a terrible little dragon with nasty flames that once they make contact with you, can stick to you and engulf you in flames while buring your scrolls. Which is exactly what it did to Patchouli as soon as it found her
I had to dump my scrolls quickly and then combat the beast by cooling it down with a bolt of ice. The beast was eleminated, but I lost some scrolls in the process...

I then combated a cyclops and a few more bees which then I met up with this thing...

A slime creature...

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/3408/picture2iwk.png)

This thing is alot faster compared to other ooze creatures and usually roams in groups. However this creature was alone, and was easily taken out.

But what truely did me in though was something Patchy could not see....

A creature that remained hidden in the shadows as it continously attacks her she was cornered by an ugly thing. She blinked to escape but in the end it would all go to waste when the unknown creature struck the final blow...
(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/200/picture3wzf.png)

Alas, poor Patchouli, we knew her well, she fought valiently though the dungeon only to be beaten by something she couldn't see....

Perhaps next time...

My advice.... Let's just go to the Lair and go through the swamp and snake pit....period. We have resitant equipment so let's go.

Because Ramus's file failed hard when I uploaded it to play it. I had to use Sylon's file. So I'll be putting Sylon and Affinity's file together to make a new link for you to play a workable verison.

Here's the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qntuzhijzgj

Now as for your new ghostly threat? Well how about I add a hell raven I've been working on for a while....

She should make your life misriable especially if you meet her in the abyss hehehe..

OK Thomas, it's your go!

Also sign my up again Anathe!

I was heading for the Hive, actually, unless I missed it already. The bees in there are generally weak, but come in swarms. Which we can handle easily.

The Snake Pit might work, but don't go to the seventh floor yet. You will die.

We don't have any equipment that resists corrosion. Our equipment will be corroded if we go into the slime pit. In addition, considering we're still having trouble with mottled dragons, the Royal Jelly/Slime will kill us before we can so much as blink.

Nah, twas mostly my stupidity. I haven't seen anything past DLevel 8 in months so I'm both not very good AND what skill I have is rusty.
Without any further ado, here's my run.

Alrighty, when we last left our hero, she looked more or less like this:
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1584/705200960524pm.png) (http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200960524pm.png)

Let's see here, we got us a bunch of unidentified stuff, lots of food, a handy wand and a knife.
We appear to have a pretty sweet flail, I have no idea what "distortion" is supposed to do, so that'll be fun.
We appear to have recently started worshiping Okawaru. I'll just head down and start killing stuff, I guess.

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4847/705200960738pm.png) (http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200960738pm.png)

Oh, level up already. That was my first kill.
Picked up some stones just for jellies. The flame wand is half-empty (or maybe half-full) so I've got some stones just in case.

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4862/705200960826pm.png) (http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200960826pm.png)

"Mima the ruinous is an average deep elf conjurer"
Mima looks a lot like Suika...
So I just run up and bash her. I mean, I'm barely 100 turns in. I can afford a restart if she fireballs me a couple of times.

"Mima's ghost suddenly disappears!"

Huh. I'm not quite sure why that happened. 5 attack air commands yield no results, so she's probably gone and not just invisible.
Aside from Mima, level 5 is pretty empty. I'll just head on down.

Ahah, one of the few things I know about this game is that "Jade Ring" sometimes means "Ring of Shaolin".
Well, it's uncursed. So that's a good start. I'll check if I'm right later.

A generic orc patrol. The wizard should make it a little interesting...
...but he doesn't. This distorty flail is pretty damn powerful. Also it turns out that the flail is what made Mima (and a couple of orcs) disappear. Who knew?

So anyway, basic reflexes make me pray->chop up->all on the chokepoint.

Huh. Oh right, I read about this! Distorty weapons have an unfortunate habit of doing bad things when you unwield them.
I suppose I can just get piety through killing stuff then.
And I've got at least a billion nutrition points worth of food.

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3653/705200961551pm.png) (http://img24.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200961551pm.png)

A ring shop. Doesn't look like I can afford much though.
Rage might be nice, but I don't really need it.

Oh, and I find this:
(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7782/705200961828pm.png) (http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200961828pm.png)

Glowing AND dwarven? Looks like we're about to get another overpowered item.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/135/705200961908pm.png) (http://img21.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200961908pm.png)

+1 and fire resistance. Hahahah, that's just great.
Speaking of powerful items though, this distorty weapon is making the game so boring.
I mean, half the time I 2-shot whatever I hit (My record is instagibbing an ogre)
And the other half of the time it just disappears.

It's quite boring.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1774/705200961944pm.png) (http://img21.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200961944pm.png)

Picked up a book just because.
I was kind of hoping for something easier to learn, actually. Discarded.

More boring fights yields:

This. I think dyed means randart. Or maybe just enchanted. I dunno, I'm testing it either way.
And it is:

Magic resistance! That's handy, I suppose. I'll keep it for now.

Note: Yes I am descending pretty quickly. I suppose it's boredom combined with the fact that I haven't been finding any food.

(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/563/705200962526pm.png) (http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200962526pm.png)
"You feel stronger."

Another level, off a pack of killer bees. They were nice enough to attack me one by one, actually.

Here's some message history...
(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9627/705200962721pm.png) (http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200962721pm.png)

Evocations, yay. Also a wand of draining, that's nice too.
And a snippet of boring combat. My throwing skill repeatedly fails me.

(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7475/705200962817pm.png) (http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200962817pm.png)
Yeah, missed another screenshot so I just got the message history again.
I get another wand, zap it 3 times and then it turns out to be teleportation.
Huh. I probably shouldn't wasted those charges.

I do manage to kill the hobgoblin before he gets away though.

(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5506/705200963143pm.png) (http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963143pm.png)
"Book of Changes".
Bah. Why can't one of them be cantrips?
Confusing touch is hilarously handy for a non-mage. I don't know where I'd get the 12 intelligence from though.

Mooore booring fights... oh, hold up:
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9546/705200963320pm.png) (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963320pm.png)

A gila monster, whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.
Doesn't turn out too badly for me.

This floor has a few gila monsters, actually. Most of them did 10 damage then died like everyone else. At least they're actually dealing damage this time.

Oh, another thing this floor has:
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9361/705200963640pm.png) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963640pm.png)

A shoppe. Nothing I don't have, bar the poison resistance.
Thinking back, I probably should've gotten the potions, but it doesn't matter too much.

(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8518/705200963737pm.png) (http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963737pm.png)
My next fight actually turns out to be slightly hard!
Even I know that orc warriors can screw you over pretty badly, so hopefully this'll turn out alright.

(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5171/705200963811pm.png) (http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963811pm.png)
My rage at his super duper sword is only surpassed by my joy for something finally happening.
Bashing him turns out not to work, so Suika's going to need to be a little more creative...

(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6728/705200963838pm.png) (http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200963838pm.png)
There we go. Even with Suika being as dumb as a box of rocks she can still point a wand and yell.
First confusion attempt works.
He kills his buddy behind him then I mop up. I suppose it was kind of lucky that he hit himself instead of me.

Turn check... around 2000 now. Maybe the latter half of my turn'll be exciting.

(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4167/705200964041pm.png) (http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964041pm.png)
Hey, wand of fire. Nice.

Hey, more magic armor.
Oh haha, it's more fire resistance. Discarded.

(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1995/705200964417pm.png) (http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964417pm.png)
Oh my, another exciting fight!
I'm not entirely sure what the heck that thing on the right is, but it looks like the kind of thing that eats paralysed heroes for breakfast.

(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/4944/705200964439pm.png) (http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964439pm.png)
Mighted just in case. It hit me for 14 damage, so I want to kill it fast.
Oh wait, it's just a wyvern... they aren't as strong as you'd expect. I don't think I've ever seen one since I got the tiles version though.

2-hitted the Wyvern, instagibbed the eye and the bat.

(http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1406/705200964659pm.png) (http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964659pm.png)
Ah, here's the RNG's punishment for my boredom. I was wondering when that would happen.
A hill giant, giant iguana, jellyfish and electric eel.
I suppose it would've been prudent of me to go back up the stairs, but who am I to ask for excitement then not jump on this opportunity?

(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4182/705200964745pm.png) (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964745pm.png)
Oh, whoops.
Bah, wasn't expecting him to walk 1 square and then hit me in the same turn. I had a wand of confusion and everything.

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4084/705200964813pm.png) (http://img24.imageshack.us/my.php?image=705200964813pm.png)
Ah well, can't win 'em all. (Image poorly edited as to not identify any unidentified items)

I had a decent 2500 turns, I'll just add a death to the counter and move on. I believe Xan is next?

Correct. I want Ramus to add Sakuya to the sheet first though, since I think we I might get somewhere with a Spriggan Assassin

Well, Either Ramus or you are going to have to do that, because sprite editing is not one of my skills

That's what I get for putting all my points into conjurations and maces & flails.

As a side note, I would like to point out that if you come across detrimental identified items in a shop (Such as negative stat rings, for example), you can buy them to spare yourself the trouble of having to identify similar items later, since they're usually sold at 1 gold each.

Well, another failure on my end, BUT THERE IS HOPE!

[13:49] <Xan> Hey, this is Xan
[13:49] <Ramus> And this is Ramus.
[13:49] <Ramus> And I'm going to make fun of him while he plays Crawl.
[13:49] <Ramus> Assuming he lasts that long.
[13:49] <Xan> Today, we're trying something a bit different.
[13:49] <Ramus> We're playing as a dog!
[13:49] <Ramus> A female dog!
[13:50] <Ramus> Of the devil!
[13:50] <Ramus> That also doubles as a maid!
[13:50] <Xan> Yes!
[13:50] <Xan> So moe!
[13:50] <Ramus> Eh sure, if beastiality/furry is your thing.
[13:50] <Xan> Ears and tail doesn't count.
[13:50] <Xan> Furry is full body.
[13:51] <Xan> To sumarize, Fox is a furry.
[13:51] <Xan> Ran Yakumo is not.
[13:51] <Ramus> Eh, whatever.
[13:51] <Ramus> Just go.
[13:51] <Xan> I am.
[13:51] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuya.jpg)
[13:52] <Xan> Here we are.
[13:52] <Ramus> I forgot just how badly Spriggans' str is.
[13:52] <Xan> As you can see, crazy low strength, but we don't need it.
[13:52] <Xan> Since Assassins don't use it.
[13:52] <Ramus> Warrior spriggan?
[13:52] <Xan> Lol.
[13:53] <Xan> Well, I think they'd roll higher for that due to class.
[13:53] <Xan> I believe stats are geared towards your class.
[13:53] <Ramus> Still would be sucky.
[13:53] <Xan> Yes
[13:53] <Xan> Well, the speed would help make up for it.
[13:53] <Ramus> Nah, it's mainly the race's stats.
[13:53] <Xan> These guys get two turns for everyone elses 1
[13:53] <Ramus> But the class add on finally touches and the actual abilities.
[13:53] <Ramus> Yeap.
[13:53] <Xan> They're still slower than bats.
[13:53] <Ramus> Except the Naga.
[13:54] <Ramus> Naga is sluggish.
[13:54] <Xan> But the speed REALLY helps.
[13:54] <Ramus> Anyway, get moving.
[13:54] <Xan> And, this is not good.
[13:54] <Xan> Gnolls, Floor 1
[13:54] <Ramus> oh lol
[13:55] <Ramus> Welp, good luck.
[13:55] <Xan> And I'm stuck in a corner.
[13:55] <Ramus> Screenshot please.
[13:55] <Xan> Hah, Escape hatch FTW
[13:55] <Xan> But there went all my needles.
[13:56] <Ramus> Needles are useless anyway.
[13:56] <Xan> Need to find up staircase, asap.
[13:56] <Ramus> Unless their curare.
[13:56] <Ramus> they're*
[13:56] <Xan> Nah, poison's pretty nice, actually.
[13:56] <Ramus> Eh, poison melee is generally better in my experience.
[13:56] <Xan> And I am level 3 already
[13:56] <Xan> Put point into Dex.
[13:57] <Ramus> How?
[13:57] <Ramus> Killed some Gnolls?
[13:57] <Xan> That and a snake.
[13:57] <Xan> I killed two gnolls.
[13:57] <Ramus> Geez man, get some screenshots of this next time.
[13:57] <Ramus> It's not every day that a Spriggan kills two gnolls off the bat.
[13:57] <Xan> Bah, it was just poison.
[13:58] <Xan> And I could do it with a transmuter too.
[13:58] <Ramus> Stick in the mud.
[13:58] <Xan> And I just owned the third one.
[13:58] <Xan> hehehe.
[13:59] <Ramus> Screenshot?!
[13:59] <Xan> Once again, poison.
[13:59] <Ramus> Geh.
[13:59] <Xan> Don't worry, I got one of the kill message.
[14:00] <Ramus> Okay.
[14:01] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuya2.jpg)
[14:01] <Xan> Thar we go, PROOF!
[14:01] <Xan> Fudge.
[14:01] <Ramus> ?
[14:01] <Xan> Should have re-equiped my dagger before trying scrolls.
[14:01] <Ramus> Yes, yes you should have.
[14:01] <Ramus> Simple guide to identifying scrolls:
[14:01] <Xan> I don't need a +0,+1 blowgun.
[14:01] <Ramus> Equip your weapon.
[14:02] <Ramus> Make sure it's bladed so you can eat.
[14:02] <Ramus> Second, make sure to have an unidentified piece of armor with you.
[14:02] <Xan> Yeah.
[14:02] <Ramus> Lastly, make sure an enemy is nearby.
[14:02] <Ramus> Under these conditions, you can figure out or identify what each scroll is.
[14:02] <Xan> I usually forget the last one.
[14:03] <Ramus> Still takes some trial and error though.
[14:03] <Xan> And the first one is kinda a non-issue for spriggans.
[14:03] <Ramus> Right.
[14:03] <Ramus> Cause they don't eat meat.
[14:03] <Xan> Yup
[14:03] <Ramus> Unless you get stupidly lucky with mutations.
[14:04] <Xan> Actually, Pesco tested.
[14:04] <Ramus> And?
[14:04] <Xan> It's impossible for them to get Carnivore off of mutations unless you specifically give it to them using Wizard Mode
[14:04] <Xan> That's debug for those of you who didn't know that.
[14:04] <Ramus> Oh.
[14:05] <Ramus> They must have changed that from 4.3 to 4.5
[14:05] <Ramus> Cause I could do that in 4.3
[14:05] <Xan> I don't know what version he was testing on.
[14:05] <Ramus> Hmm...
[14:05] <Ramus> Whatever.
[14:05] <Ramus> Status update?
[14:05] <Xan> Searching floor 1 for items.
[14:07] <Xan> Found a, no, make that 3 scrolls of Identify.
[14:07] <Xan> Hell yeah.
[14:07] <Ramus> FUCK YEAH
[14:07] <Ramus> Now go find some rings to use those on.
[14:08] <Xan> I now am the proud owner of an Amulet of Resist Mutation.
[14:08] <Ramus> WOOT
[14:08] <Xan> Equiping that.
[14:09] <Xan> Also, a wand of Fireball.
[14:09] <Ramus> That deserves a FUCK YEAH
[14:09] <Ramus> Just don't shoot it if you're next to the enemy.
[14:09] <Ramus> I died once from that.  >_O
[14:10] <Ramus> Gotta love it when you lose an awesome character by your sheer stupidity alone.
[14:10] <Xan> Of course.
[14:12] <Xan> And here is (an out of date) shot of why Spriggan's are amazing assassins
[14:12] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuya3.jpg)
[14:13] <Xan> And here's where I just slaughtered some dudes.
[14:13] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuya4.jpg)
[14:14] <Ramus> Puddle of blood means you hit someone real hard.
[14:14] <Xan> Yes.
[14:14] <Xan> That happens a lot.
[14:14] <Ramus> Still, I have yet to see a screenshot that matches Meiling's go in the Elven Halls.
[14:14] <Xan> We'll see, yes?
[14:14] <Ramus> Of course.
[14:14] <Xan> Anyhow, Level 4.
[14:15] <Xan> And OH GODS, SURROUNDED BY ORCS!
[14:15] <Ramus> RUN!
[14:15] <Xan> But thanks to my insane speed, I escaped, killing all but two.
[14:15] <Ramus> Yayz.
[14:15] <Ramus> How's the HP doing?
[14:15] <Xan> And a fireball owns them.
[14:16] <Xan> 7/19.
[14:16] <Ramus> 7/19?
[14:16] <Ramus> Oh, uses.
[14:16] <Xan> No, health.
[14:16] <Xan> Not that it matters.
[14:16] <Xan> Basically, we shouldn't be getting hit.
[14:17] <Ramus> Hurr.
[14:17] <Xan> The only real threat is if we bump into sigmund.
[14:17] <Ramus> Yeah, what still the City of Dis.
[14:17] <Ramus> wait until*
[14:17] <Ramus> Grammar died there.
[14:17] <Xan> And Terrence is dead.
[14:17] <Ramus> Regardless, if your AC isn't high, you'll have to bullet time dodge to survive the explosions in that place.
[14:17] <Xan> FFFF died.
[14:17] <Xan> Got overconfident.
[14:18] <Ramus> Screenshot?
[14:18] <Ramus> What happened.
[14:18] <Ramus> And you better post this.
[14:18] <Xan> Decided to try to sneak attack a worm and a cockroach that hadn't seen me.
[14:18] <Xan> The worm woke up.
[14:18] <Xan> I figured I could take it.
[14:18] <Xan> I was almost correct.
[14:18] <Ramus> Ow.
[14:18] <Xan> Ah well.
[14:18] <Xan> I'll do better next time.

Re-signing up.

And yes, I can do better than this. My attack on the worm was, as I said, overconfidence. Mostly in my ability to hit things. I somehow managed to miss it enough times for it to smack me down. Still got it down to seriously injured, though, which goes to show how much damage Spriggan Assassins can pull off.

Alright, I decided to go through Patchouli and this time do what I had planned...
Head back to the lair and proceed to the snake pit...

Where Patcholi left off she proceeded to the shop and bought every scroll from the store. For she knew she would need them. She then traveled up back to the floor where the lair stood and entered.

(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8666/picture1yoi.png)

She quickly traveled down till she reached her destination....

THE SNAKE PITS
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/808/picture2olg.png)

Here, this reigion is crawling with nothing but snakes of all shapes and sizes. Troulbe could come from any corner... Thankfully she has a ring of poison resistance to protect her from the venomous creatures.

Here we meet with one of the fellow resident of the snake pits.... The Naga...
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8336/picture3lfs.png)

These half human half snake beings are well, creatures that need to learn manners.... For one of it rude habits is usually spitting poisonous loogies into the faces of all those that it meet that they see as a stranger.

This is of course is rather nasty and Patchouli knew that once she was spat upon that her trip here in the lair would be rather unpleasent. So how does the greet him back? By blasting fire in his face of course.

Once she took care of the naga she continue to explore. Noticing that almost everywhere she went....snakes were present all around her...
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2003/picture4wxy.png)

She tried to take a different direction to look around but fell into a teleport trap which took her into an area full of more dangerous snakes...

(http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4251/picture5z.png)

Meet the Grey Snake. Unlike the black, and brown snake, the grey ones are considered the most dangerous because they are capable to traveling at an very fast speed to bite thier unsuspecting victims at a fast rate possibly not giving them even a chance to attack.

It is important that Patchouli steers clear from getting close to these as they will likely take her down if their bites are successful...

Luckly the snake was sleep and so she walked off and tacked the black snake and continued to travel around the lair till she decided to later engage the grey one by blasting it with a bolt of frost.

Second floor...

Patchouli continue downward and right as she began to explore she confronted another naga....
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4180/picture6ews.png)


Meet the Naga Warrior, powerful naga who is skilled in combat, and also pocessed poisonous loogies that are quite powerful. Another creature which Patchouli is safe fighting from the distance.

Course with his duration, Patchouli had to resort to using her bolt of ice to take down the naga and the rest of his crew.

Which by the time she finshed the brown snake...
(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6818/picture7t.png)

Patchouli leveled up to level 14!

Plenty of snakes later...
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4416/picture8cmv.png)

Patchouli came to realize that her magic while useful seem to misfire on some occasion, not that it was a problem, but with some of the issues that come from it, it could make her trip in the snake pit difficult is she miscasts too much. So she deicded to train her ice magic a bit along with spellcasting.

Seriously, she need to make her magic useful enough that it won't mess up especially in the later part of the snake pit.

She did however decided to make use of some of the snake corpses she didn't need to turn into food by making them into snake zombies.

At one point as she went through the door, she was surprise attacked by a grey snake waiting for her!
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7889/picture9tcm.png)

She was forced to retreat and have her snake zombies stall the grey snake till she had enough distance to cast her bolts of ice on the creature taking it out and adding her grey snake into her undead army...

Patchouli then came across a yellow snake. While no where nearly as dangerous as the other snake, it's threat rest within it's poison at it last longer than most snakes...
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5835/picture10wea.png)

But of course with poison resitance it was no problem...

Patchouli than came face to face with a naga mage with a squad of other naga....
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9458/picture11r.png)

While the naga mage is not strong, it makes up it's lack of muscles with it's magic. Most times they carry fire, haste, and can even teloportation. But on rare occasions some naga mages care poison arrows...the most dreaded of thier spells because it's one spell that your poison immunity cannot protect you from 100%.

And also like other naga is also displays the rude manner of spiting poisonous loogies on Patchouli. (Yuck)

Eventually she made an army of undead snakes and naga that she took to the 3rd floor...

(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3373/picture12rqm.png)

Many naga and snakes later PAtchouli came across two items...

A scroll of armor enchantment.... Which she use to boost her robe of resistance....

And then found a ring which once she put on she found out it was...

(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/492/picture13cyd.png)

A rather wonderful ring. While not useful right now, she knew it could come into use so she kept it...

Later on she found a fainltly glowing ring mail.... while not important to wear at the moment, maybe it could be useful later..perhaps we should try it on...
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5732/picture14acg.png)

She put it on but....
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6687/picture15xfs.png)

Mmmm? Could Hina been here? Either way, while it wasn't cursed itself despite the title... could it's properties be any good?
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/42/picture16dyk.png)

Simply...no

So Patchouli dumped the armor...

She then came across a cap

Could it be useful?
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/2347/picture18v.png)

Actually the wizard hat was more better... as this was just a +2 cap. No good when you got a wizard hat of magic resistance....

Patchouli then found an amulet...but what did it do?

She tried it on but nothing was known so she identified it.

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2905/picture17b.png)

This could be useful.... protection from draining attack.

The scroll had the power for identify one more so I looked at our poisonous sword.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5700/picture19x.png)
+0 +3

Not bad, it could become useful outside the snake pit.

Afterward Patchouli continued to the 4th floor....
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/6972/picture20msv.png)

Not much happened here as Patchouli took care of most of the snakes....

But the only highlight from the trip was the fact that Patchouli ran low on magic when she ran into a naga warrior.
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4393/picture21b.png)

SHe basiclly sent her undead snakes to attack the warrior while she retreated. A few scarficed themselves but in the end with a shot of her flame. The naga fell.
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5164/picture22for.png)

In the naga's equipment she found a sheild of cold resistance, that could be useful, but she'll have lighten her invetory if she plans to take it with her. And another wand of digging.

She was overloaded so she had to drop the wand of digging for now.... But maybe she could get it later....

Patchouli rested to regain her health but was attacked by a few nagas and snakes before she fully recovered....
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8218/picture23p.png)

Thus this ends my turn for Patchouli Knowledge....

Will she reach the bottom of the snake pit? What terror lurks at the bottom and is she ready to face it?

Stay tune for the next episode! (or whoever plays Patchouli...)

[15:17] <Xan> Hey, this is Xan
[15:17] <Ramus> And this is Ramus.
[15:17] <Xan> And I have 4 Curare needles
[15:17] <Ramus> Let's not die this time.
[15:18] <Xan> Well, I know I can do this without getting killed.
[15:18] <Ramus> The RNG says otherwise.
[15:18] <Ramus> Don't annoy it.
[15:18] <Xan> What, I did 5000 turns without getting killed just yesterday.
[15:25] <Xan> Okay, found a Choko
[15:26] <Ramus> The only time in which those are actually useful.
[15:26] <Xan> Yes.
[15:26] <Xan> Anyhow, I'm having insanely good luck on my stealth rolls.
[15:26] <Xan> It won't last
[15:26] <Ramus> Heh heh.
[15:27] <Xan> And I now have a +2 robe
[15:27] <Ramus> Nice.
[15:27] <Xan> And a +1 ring of strength
[15:27] <Ramus> Eh.
[15:27] <Xan> indeed
[15:27] <Ramus> +1 is really much.
[15:27] <Ramus> isn'y*
[15:27] <Ramus> isn't*
[15:28] <Xan> yeah.
[15:28] <Xan> Besides, strength isn't really helpful for this class.
[15:28] <Ramus> Well, it still factors in for stabbing damage.
[15:29] <Ramus> You know, just how forcefully you stab the dagger.
[15:29] <Ramus> Or, um, to be grammatically correct, stab the target with the dagger.
[15:29] <Xan> Yeah.
[15:30] <Ramus> So, nothing exciting happening yet?
[15:31] <Xan> Well, my robe is now +3
[15:31] <Xan> But yeah, this is just going about average
[15:31] <Xan> I'm level 3
[15:31] <Ramus> Average is good.
[15:31] <Ramus> You're not being unceremoniously killed.
[15:31] <Xan> True
[15:32] <Xan> Hmm, a giant ant on floor 2
[15:32] <Xan> that's earlier than usual.
[15:32] <Xan> Oh well, free level up
[15:33] <Ramus> Ah.
[15:33] <Ramus> Overconfidence?
[15:33] <Xan> Nope.
[15:33] <Xan> It was already dead when I said that.
[15:33] <Ramus> Right.
[15:35] <Xan> FFFFF
[15:35] <Ramus> ?
[15:35] <Ramus> Dead?
[15:35] <Xan> Sigmund and a ghost.
[15:35] <Ramus> Ah.
[15:35] <Ramus> Might as well be dead then.
[15:35] <Xan> Not dead yet, though
[15:35] <Xan> STAIR DANCING!
[15:35] <Ramus> Regardless, do what you do best and RUN
[15:35] <Xan> And then I die to an arrow trap
[15:35] <Ramus> Oh ho.
[15:36] <Ramus> Now that's irony.

I start off by unloading more items in our stash on Lair 1. Then, I head down.

Nothing too unusual, until...

(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9053/decrawl1.png)

I wish a slow and painful death on whoever put this here. It has high HP and fire resistance.

Patchouli runs out of magic. She flees. It chases. She reads a scroll of teleport.

Now, I should mention that something had slipped my mind previously- That level 5 of the Snake Pit IS the last level, and contains a rune. Thus it is packed with countless naga warriors, naga mages and greater nagas.

Patchouli finds herself teleported right into the heart of the chamber- And next to the rune. She grabs it and teleports away as they slowly inch their way towards her.

She ends up in a small room, resting and recovering her magic. The naga soon find her. She teleports.

She finds herself in a corridor, with nagas approaching from both sides, and a stair upwards a few spaces away. They advance, she runs, she leaves with the rune!

(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3931/decrawl2.png)

There was still some time left, so I decided that going to the swamp to grab a second rune would be a good idea. It was not.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7164/decrawl3.png)

Since I have pictures, I shall neglect narrating and let them carry the rest.

Several things to note:

-Detect Creatures is your friend.

-Don't go into Snake Pit 5. I may have gotten lucky, but counting on luck in Crawl is sure to get you killed.

-Don't go into the Swamp yet.

-Sif Muna's magic regeneration ability is useful. Try sinking some points into Invocations.

-May I suggest we try the orcish mines to get some spare gold and exp?

No no. Greed got the better of you there, thinking you could pick up 2 runes in 1 run. When you get a rune, end your run immediately and quit while your luck is ahead.

True.

Not really, no.

That reminds me, we should go back to the Lair 1 stash and grab Haste, it'll come in handy.

Post by: Totaku on May 11, 2009, 01:13:12 AM
Ok I felt we could do this. I really think we could...yet I failed...

Long story short...

Patchouli continues through the 4th floor of the Lair... There were plenty of fish around her...
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4633/picture1mhh.png)

She pretty much desposed of them easily and then traveled down to the 5th floor...
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8836/picture2ltv.png)

It seemed normal at the beginning.  Patchouli even found an awesome battle axe.

Not that she could use it, but she decided to check it out...
(http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture3umn.png)

It was an awesome axe since it was Trog's axe, but not anything she could use at all sadly, so instead she left it an looked around...

Afterward she ran into a new type of Naga....The Gaurdian Naga...
(http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4929/picture4w.png)

Guardian Nagas are hard to come by but yet can be slightly troublesome. They can use poisous bolts, teleport, haste, smite you and other things... and of course...spit poisonous loogies!

However they were weak and frail to Patchouli's magic. So they were disposed of easily.

After several snakes and nagas later, Patchouli heard a voice.

"You have done well appritice, take this book."

Patchouli found a book and looked at it...
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5294/picture5jxm.png)

A book of summoning, a somewhat good book that allows you to summon more powerful creatures... I debated about keeping it or not, but continued...

I rounded up lots of naga corpsed which I turned into an army of servants....
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3751/picture6srz.png)

Then I ran into my brother's ghost....*sigh* I had to make a run for it! For I was ill prepare to fight against him.

Which is when I ran into this guy....

(http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8673/picture7krp.png)

The Greater Naga... the most fearsome of all the nagas in the snake pits. Put the Warrior, Mage and Guardian together and you have the this thing. It can do pretty much all of the abilties the other can do and of course it's loogies are deadliest as well.]

I took a gamble and tried to teleport, but I failed to realize the power of it's poisonus bolts...

Two hits and then Patchouli was down!

(http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4906/picture8uri.png)

I blame my brother's ghost (Assassin) for making me run into this thing....

Never had a chance to make a clean escape....

Sign me up again!

My advice, For Patchouli we should try again once more and plan very carfully....otherwise.... I think we should try the swamps. I mean the other places are a bit dangerous for Patchouli so we're going to have to take a gamble.

No, it's more likely you're just getting killed by the RNG. Crawl is hard. It takes equal parts luck and skill, especially if you are playing as a mage. (Even more so if you are playing as a necromancer. Their starting attack spell costs health as well as MP.)

As I pointed out in my earlier post, Snake Pit 5 is not a good idea due to the fact that it has several dozen nagas lurking around the rune. And not the weak types, either.

The Swamp is not particularly appealing either, since the last floor of the swamp tends to contain several hydras, swamp drakes and swamp dragons, along with insubstantial wisps that are nearly immune to magic.

My recommendation is to head back to the dungeon. From there, we can either cruise through the Orcish mines for some meager but easy exp and gold, or descend downwards. We can simply skip that one problematic level.

The Hive is considerably easier than the Snake Pits, and while it doesn't contain any rune it will net us some gold, exp, items and enough food to last us the rest of the game.

3 of the same runes from Panda land and we're good to pay Zot a visit. If we were spriggan, I would recommend getting the Abyss rune since running around a lot is basically how you find it.

Taking my turn.  And yes, I'm supposed to go before Xan.  Anyway...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/title.png)

With a title image this awesome, how can you lose?

Still here... anyway, kill Mima for second time as well as that annoying Jelly.  And by kill Mima, I meant sent her to the Abyss.  I wonder if she'll show up there or not.

After a fuck you from the game by being double smited while switching out weapons to sacrifice a gnoll corpses, I decide to say screw it and attempt to jump into the Abyss.

Did I mentioned I picked up a mace of protection?

Anyway, to the Abyss.  Or not.  I give up after nearly going hungry and dying to spatial warping.  We shall now main this Mace of Protection.  Also, potion roulette time.

Potion of Mutation gets me -1 str and -1 dex BUT +10HP.  Fair trade.
Potion of might, speed, slow, levitation, and confusion.

Onto floor 6.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/24.png)

Orc Priest, these guys can smite you as long as you're in view and I've had some bad experiences so far this run with smiting, so guess what I do?  That's right.

Get behind a wall!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/25.png)

The strategy works quite well.  Meantime, the mace of protection is +1,+2, which is good.  AND A +1 SCALE MAIL OF FIRE RESISTANCE!  FREAKING WOOT!

Find an amulet.  Going to try to identify it without the scroll.  Another wand of confusion.

Can't identify it, time to scroll.  Amulet of Resist Corrosion.  Nice.  And ring of see invisible.  Not bad.  Wand identified, it's a wand of draining.  ANOTHER WAND FOUND.

Nothing appears to be happening.  It's either empty or is a wand of healing...
+1 elven cloak.  It'll have to do until I find dwarven stuff.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/26.png)

Good old jelly eating Xom's altar.  Good boy.

Ring of Levitation.  AMULET OF GOURMAND!  Wooping HECK YES.  Kill an orc warrior for... BATTLE AXE OF FREEZING!

Found a smoking staff.  May be useful later, I'm keeping it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/27.png)

Oh, screw you Totaku.  Experienced Mountain Dwarf Reaver... Time for a change in music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTnJVNYCW6g)

And that's how we stuff around here mutherfucker.

Dire Flail found.  AND PLATE MAIL!  YES!  I'll still carry around the fire resistant scale mail though. 22AC.

Identify wand, it's a wand of digging.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/32.png)

There's something in there.  I just can't reach it.

+0 jewelled helmet.  I though it'd be an artifact...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/33.png)

Battle with an unique, Psyche.  She's a magic type... that tried to kill me by stabbing me to death with a knife.  It doesn't turn out well for her.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/34.png)

Oh frick.  Figures, I'm 500 turns away from safety, and Crawl just has to make one last attempt to kick my butt.

Oh wait, that wasn't hard at all.  Learn to use Yuka's Might ability quite well.

Kill count:
1 Hippogriff
4 Kobolds
3 Orcs
1 Big Kobold
1 Yak
1 Orc Priest
1 Orc Warrior

Total:  12

BUT WAIT!  THAT'S NOT ALL.

Eyeball stuns me while a troll, two headed ogre, yak, and orc warrior proceed to beat me down.  I use a potion of speed and run the heck away back up stairs.  WARNING for the next person, floor 10 will kick your butt.

But you know what?

I SURVIVED!  AND WITH A BOAT LOAD OF AWESOME STUFF!  AND I KILLED TOTAKU'S GHOST!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

[16:26] <Xan> Vehumet is an option.
[16:26] <Ramus> How about Flanders?

[16:28] <Ramus> That leaves Vehumet/Marisa.
[16:28] <Ramus> The god of destructive magic.
[16:28] <Xan> Yes.
[16:28] <Ramus> Eh, kinda of a boring god, but whatever.
[16:28] <Xan> Well, as said, Cards are always an option.
[16:29] <Ramus> Yes, but you need to know how to handle the cards very well.
[16:29] <Xan> YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!
[16:29] <Xan> Cards aren't that hard.
[16:29] <Ramus> There's certain means of stock piling and sacrificing.
[16:29] <Xan> Yes.
[16:29] <Ramus> A mixed pile results in a deck of cards which will kill you.
[16:29] <Xan> Nemelex lets you cheat.
[16:29] <Ramus> Of course.
[16:29] <Ramus> Nemelex = The Heart of the Cards.
[16:29] <Xan> You can topdeck.
[16:29] <Ramus> Except it doesn't save you when you need it.
[16:30] <Xan> Actually, Nemelex lets you do exactly what Yugi does: TOP DECK!
[16:30] <Ramus> So wait, Nemelex = Pharaoh Yugi who's true name I don't know.
[16:30] <Ramus> Yeah.
[16:30] <Xan> Indeed.
[16:30] <Ramus> So then, Yami (>_<) or Marisa?
[16:30] <Ramus> Or what a while before answering?
[16:30] <Ramus> wait a while*
[16:31] <Xan> We are going to find a non-Yugioh name for Nemelex

Right. Since we're not ready for the Swamp and the fifth level of the Snake Pit, I decided to head down the dungeon, skipping the nightmare level.

(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3034/lecrawl11.png)

At this point, my turn is ending so I decide to attend to another matter-

(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8457/lecrawl12.png)

The mini-vault to Patchouli's left is guarded by some wasps and can only be reached by swimming, levitation or simply burning the wax walls down. However, we cannot burn said walls down with our current spells.

And thus I end my turn.

A few things to note:

-We have a second stash on Hive 1
-There is an additional wand of digging on the fourth level of the Snake Pit.

-The next person should quaff the potion of levitation and move into the vault. Don't forget to blast those wasps first, but be careful not to let the levitation run out. So long as you can get your feet on solid ground, you're safe. Once inside the vault, you can leave by simply using a teleport scroll. Don't forget the Queen Bee near the top of the map, and stock up on royal jellies as they heal lowered stats.

-Alternatively, if you're not quite certain about the above, you can skip it. It's a small vault anyway.

Post by: Totaku on May 17, 2009, 12:26:40 AM
well let's contime the story shall we?

As we left off in our adventure, Patchouli went into the hive and was confronted by a massive swarm of bees. She eventually reached the bottom of the hive where she found a wasps nest, but first she decided to take her horde of undead bees and go through the bees nest.

She face many bees and larva but her magic and her undead army wouldn't give the bees a chance to fight back at all..

Eventually Patchouli had to temporarly retreat to rest. And while rested, she met with the queen bee.

(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8973/picture1gwg.png)

The Queen is more dangerous than your standard killer bee, but isn't much different from the rest so in a way it's almost like fighting several killer bees at once technically.

Regardless, two bolts of ice and the queen was down! And with that pretty much most of the bees of the hive were exterminated.

From there Patchouli went and gathered some honeycombs and royal jelly that she took with her.

Afterward she went back up to wasp nest to see if there was an entrance...

She also took the opprotunity to learn Sticky flame. This spell is actually very useful! Esepcially against player ghosts. Some people underestimate the power of sticky flame. It's good at putting out creature or damaging them quite a bit.

She drank her potion of levitation and....
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6097/picture2efk.png)

sadly, the wasp nets was blocked off entirely, the only way through there is if Patchouli learns bolt of fire which produced enough heat to melt wax.

Patchouli then proceeded up to a  floor to an unexplored area of the hive where she found a trident. She decided to equip it and it turned out to be..
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1056/picture3r.png)

Could this be any good to Patchouli? It has plenty of good effects, but at the same time a few bad ones (mutation and drop in evasion)

Regardless Patchouli took it up to the top floor of the hive and dropped it there..

She then left and then returned to the dreaded "Unlucky 13th floor"
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2083/picture4eii.png)
While on that floor Patchouli found a strange room.... what could be in it?

(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5809/picture5v.png)
Lots of door and apperently....this might not be good...

As she opens the doors she confronts zombies and skeletons of humans and trolls and...
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/3998/picture6a.png)

A mummy! These things aren't that uncommon in the early parts but they are rather dreadful to face in the early. Mainly because if you attack them... and kill then yourself. They will curse you! An that can result in cursing your equipment, causing some scrolls to desinigrate, feel drained, pain shoot through your body or even cause your potions to become potions of rotting.

However there is one flaw to the mummy's curse....letting another creature that is your partner destroy it. It will leave you unaffected from the mummy's curse. So Patchouli let her undead minions take care of the mummy.

Many mummies and skeltons later Patchouli found an alter...
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/3187/picture8e.png)
An alter of Kikubaaqudgha (would that be Yuyuko?), the god of the undead. This would not be much use to Patchouli though as she was already serving Mima.

She then confronted the dreaded motted dragon once again, but this time she was far more than prepared.... One hit from a bolt of ice and the creature feel without even getting a chance to fight back!
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9357/picture7q.png)

She then venture torward the heavly guarded area where the trueasure was at, when she arrived to there she confronted several creatures...upon them was a creature Patchouli could not see...

She was in a narrow corridor and was able to some how chase it away by blasting ice at the unknown creature....

She then proceed into the vault chamber of the 13th floor and confronted seeveral creatures there...
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8691/picture9o.png)

The two headed oger, donno if it's a result of a mutation or what, but even though they say two heads are better than one... it also makes them twice as dangerous. It weilds two clubs meaning twice the chance to get clubbed very hard.

But they're only slightly tougher than a regular ogres.

And there is also the wolf spider, a very quick and poisonus spider than can make your day dreadful... but are also somewhat weak.

With two blast of ice Patchouli took down the both as if they weren't a challenge and beat up the brown frog and gain short sword skills.

She then traveled around the vault, fell through a shaft that took her to floor 14. Confronted something unseen that attacked her there (much worse since it's an open space) and retreated back to floor 13.

She then eventually explored the area and went for the trueasure.

(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1236/picture10g.png)

Look like Patchouli struck it big time. :P

On her way out she confronted something strange....
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4413/picture11.png)

A Shape shifter, in it's regular form. This is rare to see it in it's normal form since it will usually appear in another form of some creature, but regardless it was there, however as sooon as Patchouli struck it, it changed into an Ugly Thing and then she took it out in it's changed form.
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8983/picture12.png)

Also she confronted a scroll of identity that attacked her! Thus it was a mimic As soon as she casted magic on it it vanished, but strangely it was dumb enough to appear in the same area disgused at a scroll of weapon enchantment 1. So she sent her yak zombie to take it out to the point that she could just blast it with one spell.

Afterward she gather the remaining potions and gold and then left unlucky 13!

And venture through the 14th floor trying to avoid the invisible attacker.

And then reached the 15th floor...

Long story short she confronted a 5 headed hydra. quickly took it out with her magic. Level up to level 15!
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/384/picture14.png)

She trained her intellegence once again.

Mima gave her a gift once again. The book of Hinderance. A ok book in my opinion. We already know slow. But other than that, most of the other spells excluding Petrify are only ok at best in the short term..

Then Patchouli confronted a area full of a whole bunch of orcs. (Mainly regulars and warriors)
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2298/picture15r.png)

After many long hours to bloodshed, the orc squad was destoryed.
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7457/picture16e.png)

After than Patchouli went back to the stairs to rest and then due to her over load decided to drop her wand of polymorph and Book of Hinderance to lighten the load. Thus ending Patchouli's turn at turn 42002. (which is somewhere about 5500 -6000 turns not sure, but I hope I stayed in range.

I gave the file to Ramus and also.... Sylon next time include the Suika file with your saves...
Sign me up again!

Let's continue right where I left off (Sweekah isn't too popular I guess).
And I have to enter floor 11 again.  *shudders*

Let's go.

Found the scroll of enchant armor.  Goes straight into our Platemail.

Stupid eyeball shows up again with the stupid troll again.  I get knocked down to 11 HP before I confuse the troll yet again and it runs around stuff while I poke out an eyeball.

I run back up stairs to heal and come back to kill the Troll 1 on 1.  I kill it with a negative energy wand.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/35.png)

It could not die fast enough as seen below:

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/36.png)



(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/37.png)

Hello.

The jerk teleports me away.  Not that I could do more than lightly wound him.  Not quite strong enough yet.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/38.png)

Artifact store!  I splurged on the platemail.  It ended up being +3 with cold resistance.  Woot.

Still can't manage to kill that Naga Guardian.  So, I resort to pulling out the big guns (with loads of recoil) the flail of distortion.  Sent to the Abyss.  Sucker.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/39.png)

There's a cruel irony at work when you get sent to the Abyss by your own weapon.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/40.png)

SALVATION!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/41.png)

Rule #1 of the Abyss: Lugonu likes to peg players.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/42.png)

Darn it, leave me alone.  After activating might for the hundredth time this play through, I kill the skeleton warrior, the ice imp, the skeleton hill giant, and naga mage that followed me out of the Abyss and run back to the treasure room.  FINALLY, geez, do I have to work that hard for every treasure room?

Ring of +3 protection.  Heck yes, 29 AC on floor 11.
Ring of +2 strength.  Always good.
Spare shield.  Leaving behind.
Unidentified wand.
Runed scythe which I shall leave behind.
Book of flames.  (Eh...)
Young Prisoner's Handbook (Eh...)
Book of Cantrips.  HECK YES.  We want confusing touch from this and nothing else.

Identify wand, it's teleportation.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/43.png)

And lots of water.  I've got a ring of levitation, let's check it out.  Bad idea.  It's just a lot of eels and nothing else.  Maybe I can come back later with electrical protection.

Next floor...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/44.png)

Why Crawl?  Why?  I run back up stairs and then down another set of stairs and choke point them to death.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/45.png)

Oh hey, it's our first glimpse of six headed imminient death.  Let's take it on.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/46.png)

One hit with the mace of distortion and it's badly hurt.  Sent to the Abyss later.

Did I say sent to the Abyss?  I meant I blinked it and it's now berserking.  Aw crap.
I manage to lose it later after fighting some orcs.

Finally get haste from Yuka later.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/47.png)

Here be the hive.  And I need poison resistance.  Pass.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/48.png)

Not hard at all.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/49.png)

Orcish Mines.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/50.png)

Dump made in the hive after fighting off 4 bees  9 bees  17 bees 23 bees in a row.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/51.png)

FUCK YEAH!  No wait, it's a mimic.  FRICK.
However, I do find a flail of protection.  We're trading in the mace for this.

+5 Orcish Plate Mail of Pondernous.  For -2 EV, I'm at 32 AC.  Nah, my +4 cold resistant plate mail is better.


In the Abyss again because I unequipped my flail of distortion...  I manage to escape anyway.


Floor 1 of the Orcish Mines has a lot of dudes to kill.  Oh hey, first god gift, +2 band mail of magical resistance.

And that is where I save and stop. I'm already 200 turns over limit.

File probably going to be up tomorrow.

   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Unless we happen to get poison resist
   <Xan>   And I am going to watch him do so and say stuff.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Holy shit, why are you carrying so many wands?
   <Xan>   Not me.
   <Xan>   You'd have to ask Ramus.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I mean, anything worth confusing can probably shrug it off
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Anyways, shall we continue in the mines?
   <Xan>   I don't see why we shouldn't finish them.
   <Xan>   Just stay the hell out of elf-town
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Looks like our first set of stairs is a mini-room
   <Xan>   hooray.jpg
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Our second set of stairs leads to orcs
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Which are now dead
   <Xan>   Orcs? In the Orc mines? What will they think of next?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Because I KILEEEEEEEEEEEEED THEEEEEEEEEEEEEM
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Another mini-room
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   How to be a massive douchebag in Crawl against orcs: Hide in a corridor
   <Xan>   I think that's how you be a massive douchebag in crawl against most things.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Except fiends
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   And mages
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   And anything that can kill you in one-hit
   <Xan>   True.
   <Xan>   But engaging in douchebaggery against those is... not reccomended.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Floor done~
   <Xan>   Yay!
   <Xan>   What's on the next floor?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Suika had a nice dinner with some fava beans and a chianti

   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Orc-o's
   <Xan>   Delicious.
   <Xan>   Like invincible candy.
   <Xan>   Only without the invincible bit.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   lol, elven halls?
   <Xan>   Nah.
   <Xan>   I don't really like the odds on that.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh great, an ettin
   <Xan>   OH NO!
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Like a hill giant with less hill and more hit you in the face until you die
   <Xan>   yup/
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Except the fact that we are worshiping Chokowaru
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Might makes the enemy dead
   <Xan>   Yup.
   <Xan>   Has he given us any stuffs yet?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   No
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Unless a teleport trap counts
   <Xan>   No.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh no, a troll
   <Xan>   Freaking teleport traps.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Not like Shrinemaiden has enough of those
   <Xan>   Oh, I remember one time, they walled in a sub-branch using teleport traps.
   <Xan>   I raeged
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Antique shop

<Xan>   Anything useful?
   <Xan>   Oooh.
   <Xan>   What's it do?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   We don't know what it is
   <Xan>   Ah.
   <Xan>   Buy it?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   However it's really fucking cheap
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   lol, ornate cards are 1400
   <Xan>   thats a bad sign
   <Xan>   How much you want to bet it's cursed?
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Actually everything in antique shops are sold at base cost
   <Xan>   Ah.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Okay, it's a ring of life protection with +3 damage
   
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/The_Astral_Pancake/30542234.png)

<The_Astral_Pancake>   Meh
   <Xan>   Eh, not bad to have around.
   <Xan>   Like if we do negative hell.
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   Oh this should be good
   <The_Astral_Pancake>   I lured a lot of orcs near the tele trap

Oh darn it.

No pictures, but in short, I went through the orc mines a little, saw a warlord I couldn't beat, and then decided to backtrack into the main dungeon to find the Lair.  On the same floor was a wand and a few enemies which were defeated with the quick usage of might, but I came across a five-headed hydra.  No problem at all, until it was almost dying.  Then I decided to use the wand on it.

It happened to be a wand of polymorph other.

And so the hydra turned into a dragon which killed me very quickly while I tried to teleport.

Moral: Don't use wands you don't know on strong enemies, especially hydrae.

I remember the time where I polymorphed a giant ant into an elf as a level 4 Fighter.  It was horrible, it was faster than me and I couldn't hit it and it did lots of damange.  D=  Gah.

Anyways, sign me up again at the back of the list.

Man! I could of had it I really could of had it!! @_@

This run could of been perfect if it wasn't for a bad run in with an unexpected encounter....


So what did Patchouli do this time?

I decided to return to the snake pits once more. Why? Because with Sticky Flame, Patchouli should of gained a big advantage over the nagas.

And so after running up so many stairs... she returned down the the 5th floor of the snake pits...
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/918/picture1xuz.png)
It ran smoothly, with her army of zombies with her, and her magic she took out snakes and nagas she traveled through the corridors.

Even the greater Nagas and Naga priest didn't stand up to Patchouli!

Eventually she cleared out the corridors leading only one area left uncheck...
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9500/picture2rte.png)

She took on the army of nagas as she sitcky flamed them making them slowly burn as she retreats  to recharge and takes them out. It was a slow back and forth process, but the large room where the naga stood at was cleared nearly....

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1210/picture3fpc.png)
There was only one more room left that she didn't check....could the rune be in here?

She was ambused by a warrior and Greater Naga.

She takes out the warrior  but is low on magic so she sacrafices her undead minion go and take out the naga while she retreats... But during her retreat was when she made a terrible mistake....

As she went out into the corridors she was ambused by a greater naga... The naga hasted itself as she flee and catches up. She uses her teleport wand to warp away. But before she had the chance she was blasted by a giant orb of energy by the snakey menace.

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5632/picture5tmo.png)
Thus...Patchouli fell...

What can I say about this run....

I think that now it is certain that Patchouli can take on the snake pits. She can take on the nagas easily, I was just an idiot not to use detect creature before going around the corner. I would of save myself from performing a terrible mistake.

The serpentine Rune of Zot should be good as ours. We just need to make use of our abilities to the fullest.

I have not new the share so take Edible's file and I will sign up for another round.

A more pressing question is why you are trying to grab a rune while Encumbered? Detect and remove curse scrolls are no longer vital to carry around at this stage of the game. Potions of healing are not that useful either and you can be fine with just 5 in the pack.

Joy!  My turn again.  Time to kickass and chew bubble gum.

As you'll remember, we're still stuck in the orcish mines.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/52.png)

With lots and lots of orcs! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2_I0EGhcB4)  And not much to talk about.  I'm just beating up hordes of orcs with the occasional troll or ogre.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/53.png)

Hey guys!  Look!  It's another Suika (probably a past one from myself, crud).  I hope it isn't the one with the vorpalized flail that I found on floor 2.

Hey, two spears of dragon slaying.  I'll take them!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/54.png)

Another ghost down.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/55.png)

Orc Sorcerer.  This guy is a bastard and it hurts when you're hit by him.  It might be best to retreat for now.

Ah ha ha ha... I counted 14 orcs, 5 orc knights, 3 wizards, and some high level demons appearing on screen in the two turns it took me to get to that staircase.  Up the stairs I go.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/56.png)

I catch him alone.  And he's dead.  Also, found a falchion of draining.  May be useful later.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/57.png)

Orc Warlord.  ALWAYS a bad idea to mess with.

GOD GIFT

+1 helmet of Klosch

Evasion +2
Dex +2

It's okay, but hey, better than our old head gear.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/58.png)

Orc Knights are the weaker versions of Orc Warlord but they still hurt.

Leaving the orcish mines.  I can't find the elven halls but I do have a boat load of weapons to test out.

-1, 0 orcish great mace.  Dropping.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/59.png)

ARTIFACT SHIELD

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/60.png)

Can I get a "FUCK YEAH!" ?  Also, 28 strength, suckers.

Killed a mottled dragon.  Those two spears of dragon slaying are very, very useful.

Level up, 30 strength!  Also an efreet in a jar.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/61.png)

Donald yet again.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/62.png)

There's the lair, but we have no poison resistance.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/63.png)

Brainworm, these guys can mutate so long as they can see you.  Solution?  GET BEHIND A WALL!

SCROLL OF AQUIREMENT!  WOOT!  Let's go for artifact weapon.

Crystal Spiked Flail!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/64.png)

ROCK ON!

+5, +2 Cystal Spiked Flail.  This just keeps getting better.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/65.png)

And that's where I end it.  Suika just keeps leveling in badassery, not to mention, we're nearly caught up with Patchouli.

Final stats at level 12:

HP: 104
Magic: 7
Str: 30
Int: 7
Dex: 13
AC: 29
EV: 7
SH: 12

Once I get settled in for the summer (give me about a week, probably) I'd probably like to give Suika or InuSakuya (I hate that meme, by the way) a shot.  I got viciously hooked on Crawl this past week.

Ah, glad you're enjoying it.  Regardless, unless you feel really competent at stealth or magic, I recommend Suika for now as she is the basic hit the other guy dead.  InuSakuya (blame Xan, he picked her) is going to be one long game of attempting not to starve and sneaking up on people, Patchouli is going to managing magic so she doesn't run out and get killed.

Also, beware of Sigmund of the early dungeon.  He may be an old man, but he'll destroy you.


EDIT:  I also will begin the InuSakuya run later today.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/66.png)

She gracefully walked down the stairs.  She only had one mission, the command her master gave her.  To retrieve the Zot Orb. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg_KbrlmBsI&feature=PlayList&p=70F8ADE443A915A7&index=88)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/67.png)

Her victim.  She slid the knife along the throat while it was asleep.  It died peacefully and without pain or excess blood.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/68.png)

The targets were careless.  They lay about sleeping or a daze of boredom.  Their senses were dull.  All made for an easy kill.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/69.png)

Her first prize, removed from the unworthy corpse of a kobold.  Before her, all would die silently and swiftly.

The first two floors were cleared with ease and quickness.  Nothing had yet lifted a finger towards her as all would sit silently as she came and would sit in absolute silence as she left.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/70.png)

And yet she grew careless as a dart shoot out from the floor and firmly implanted itself in her side.  The tip was poisoned and she soon grew sick.  She continued along attempting to shrug it off.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/71.png)

Terence, the foolish human.  He was a proud man with brute strength.  But he was awake, he would have to meet fate another day.  The elegant maid pulled out a scroll of teleportation from her bag and whispered the words of old.  A breeze picked up and she was carried away.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/72.png)

An orcish squad.  She could not dream of fighting them out in the open.  Using her wit, she retreated into the nearby corridor and fight them in the close space one at a time.  They left wide openings in their clumsy attacks, she took advantage of each one, thrusting the knife into their vital points.  The orcs quickly fell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/73.png)

Ijyb, the small goblin.  He was busy looking about.  This was her chance.  The goblin fell with a slice along the artery of the neck.  Yet she felt not relief as she rounded the corner, there was Terence again.  She ran at full speed towards him for she was now stronger and no longer injured or poisoned.  In a mere two strikes, he fell to the ground.

Yet something sat at the back of her mind.  A worry.  There was little food around and all she carried was a single meal.  To eat these raw corpses would be madness.  Hunger gnawed at her stomach.  All she could do was keep moving and hope for a meal.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/74.png)

At long last, the temple of gods.  Single plan formed in her mind.  She would play it by luck.  Atem, a pharaoh of Egypt who ascended to godhood and had mastery of the cards could allow her to pull power from a mere deck of cards.  Or Tewi, who could help or harm her at a whim for her immature fun and laughs.  Both were random, both were chaotic, both had what she needed.


PICK ONE PEOPLE

And no, I'm not done yet with my turn.

Hungry again...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/77.png)

Chance of a life time people.  Let's kill him!  OH DARN IT!  He woke up before I could stab him!  Down to 1 HP in a single hit and running!  Back up stairs.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/81.png)

Frick... I can't afford to go back up stairs again with limited food.  I run into a hallway and murder them.



Oh hey, steaming dagger.  Artifact time.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/82.png)

Awesome weapon in every way except for one minor problem, it's vampiric, which means you get hungrier faster while using it.  Thus, we use it very sparringly.  And so InuSakuya runs around unarmed for a while until finding an enemy to use it on.  HOWEVER:  There's a CATCH.  And a big one!  When you hit a living enemy with it (in other words, not dead) you might get less hungry.  Guess what that means?

SURVIVAL

Fell through a shaft and OH SHI-

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/78.png)

I attempt to run away only to find out bees are faster than InuSakuya.  And the best part?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/79.png)

Fuck you Crawl, fuck you!  However, I do land on a teleportation trap which leads me here:

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/83.png)

BLASTED TELEPORT TRAP!  I've got no teleport scrolls or blink scrolls.  So I run...  INTO A CORNER DARN IT.  Dead....

I dunno, I tried a Spriggan Assassin and made it through to about level 14 or so before getting BOLT OF IRON to the face and dying in one shot (goddamn Boris).  Killed Sigmund, too. :P

Oh, and awesome splash screen is awesome.

Earlier today, Ramus asked to take my turn because it seemed Affinity didn't respond. I wasn't sure but in the end I decided to accept later that night. ( I hope your ok since your the one who asked me.)

Anyways... I guess I'll continue Patchouli's story... not much picture wise....I wish I took more but things got rather....insane this time....

As usual, we begin our adventure at turn 52002.... Down in floor 15 of the dungeon.
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3851/picture1gjs.png)

Patchouli proceeded up the floors. When she got to the 14th floor she confronted something that looked rather dangerous...
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/315/picture2wgu.png)

An Eye of Devastation!

The eyes are very very uncommon to find within the dungeon. Your more likely to find them in the slime pits. I don't know much about them personally but I hear they are very dangerous and there blasts can burrow through solid rock. PLus from what I remember was there is no resitants to thier attacks if I heard correctly.

Knowing that it was dangerous, Patchouli retreated and went down a set of stairs and then came up another and went up another flight of stairs to escape the evil eye.

She then went up to to the Lair and proceed down to the Snake Pits....

Once she reached the 5th floor her real challenge would begin...
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2379/picture3jic.png)

As usual Nagas were all over the place ready to greet her at the door. But luckly her undead minions and her magic too them out.

She managed to plow through the nagas easily but then this was in thing became very difficult.

I ran into my brother's ghost "Assassin" sure enough PAtchouli's sticky flame would put a dent in him, but that wasn't what really bother me
As soon as I sticky flamed him I then discover another ghost....
A Patchouli's ghost (wha?) And it fireballed me burning the scrolls in my collection.

Luckly the PAtchouli ghost was vaquished easily. But then I had to retreat.

When I returned back down again I was shock to discover yet another Patchouli ghost...
Yes that's right there was not just 1 ghost, not 2, but 3!!!!

Three Player Ghosts!!!

To from our Patchouli Run and one from my brother's.... More scrolls got burnt and I lost some vital scrolls (weapon enchantment).

Patchouli manage to take out her second ghost and all that remained was Assassin who was hiding somewhere in the snake pit.

Patchouli took caution, realizing the dangers that were around her... so she spent her time moving slowly while dececting for any nagas near her. She fought off Nagas of all shape and sizes, ranges from Regular nagas, Naga Warriors and Greater Nagas. The most dangerous thing of the whole battle was when the greater naga blasted PAtchouli with an orb of Energy. Cause it severly damaged her, regardless she took out the monster before it could hurt her again...

She spend her time waiting, resting and planning her next move as she continues the decect the nagas and snake in the vicitity. She even made seveal dead naga as her loyal undead minions.

Eventually she came across Assassin's ghost once more.... and this time, she took him on.... hitting him with sticky flame and then retreating gradually as the lauched bolts of cold at the ghost. Slowly weakening it, she eventually sent her undead minions, used Mima's power to recharge her magic, and continued to sticky flame it. In the end she was forced to use her wand of cold to finish the ghost off, but it can be said that the deed was done....

PAtchouli had vaquished 3 player ghost in one area!

Who ya gonna call!!

With that Patchouli had to take her time and rest and as she continues to travel slowly around the dungeon looking for the way to take on the nagas.

(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9854/picture4vog.png)
Eventually after Patchouli took on a few more naga warriors and mages she had to rest and call it a day for now...

Thus this ends Patchouli's turn...

It leasted 5998 turns. Sorry, but there were some forces that had to be dealt with on this turn...

What can I say regarding this turn is this....

Patchouli has gotten over a big hurtle today.... Tons and tons of player ghosts.... PRetty much the player ghosts should be gone now.

But now PAtchouli still has to face an army of Naga that still stand.

My tips for what to do here:

Take it easy! Don't go jumping in until your filled with mana and health. The nagas here are quite a force to be reckonded with. Especially the greater ones. Getting hit by an orb of Energy is enough to wreck nearly 2/3 of her health.

Try to get the jump on the nagas before they see you! Always stick flame them. It'll make your life easier.

Detect creature is good for planning your next action and avoiding unessary deaths.

After you sticky flame a greater naga follow up bolts of ice! It needs to be killed ASAP!

Be sure to collect your naga cropses for food, your gonna need it!

Use whatever remaining nagas and snakes to become your undead sevants! They will make great meat shields.

Finally as I can't stress enough....rest rest REST!!!! Fine a place safe, some place away from the snaky feinds!

About half of the nagas in the area are down we are getting very close to getting our hands on the Rune... I CAN FEEL IT!

Sign me up again!!

Also Affinity, if you can still come in for this go, please confrim through Ramus's message, otherwise Ramus will next and you'll be moved down to the bottom definetly as you requested.

Anyways for now. Here's the file for the next person.

Let's continue with Suika again, in the same place as before because no one else is playing as her.  <.<

Yakkty Yak, please don't bite back.

Some centaurs protecting a slimy ring mail and scroll of identify.  Let's go get it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/86.png)

It's not an understatement to say this thing sucks ass.

GOD GIFT

Okay, we have Okowaru, not Xom darn it!

Anyway, open up the Efreet-In-A-Jar...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/88.png)

We'll be best buds forever...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/89.png)

Mokou! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTcHT4zpAGs&feature=related)

Mokou:  Don't worry, I'm here for you.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/90.png)

Urug, a unique orc.  Going by appearance, he probably hits hard.

Mokou:  No mercy!  Kill them all!
Mokou: Be careful.

Urug:  Maybe you are Suika, maybe you aren't.  It doesn't matter.

He goes down with the combined team work of Mokou shooting fire and Suika smashing them.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/91.png)

Geez, this guy nearly killed me with his constant rocks of death.  And then Mokou stepped in a killed him.  And what did she have to say during battle?

Mokou:  Run!  I'll cover you!

<3

Mokou:  Suika, you're my only friend.

DAWWW~ <3

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/92.png)

Michael, a powerful spell caster.  Mokou goes bat shit on him and kills him.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/93.png)

Erica, another unique.  Mokou has the same result.  And an Ebony casket.  Just an ice beast jumps out.  Least to say, I disown the thing.  They eat way too much and leave a wet mess on the floor after going.  They're near impossible to train on top of that.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/94.png)

Mokou?  Mokou?!  MMMMOOOOOKKKKKKOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

All alone again in this dark dungeon of evil and doom.

[16:07] <Xan> Hey guys, this is Xan
[16:07] <Ramus> And this is Ramus.
[16:07] <Xan> And he's going to heckle me while I fail at crawl.
[16:07] <Ramus> Yes.
[16:07] <Ramus> Because you picked InuSakuya again.
[16:07] <Xan> **** you
[16:07] <Xan> I can do this.
[16:08] <Xan> I've done that many turns before.
[16:08] <Ramus> But Crawl hates it when you record it.
[16:08] <Xan> Heh.
[16:08] <Xan> It's time to put it in its place.
[16:09] <Ramus> You're going to regret those words.
[16:09] <Ramus> So yeah, let's get started.
[16:09] <Xan> Okay.
[16:09] <Ramus> What's level 1 InuSakuya look like?
[16:09] <Xan> 10HP
[16:09] <Xan> 6
[16:09] <Xan> 12
[16:09] <Xan> 18
[16:09] <Ramus> OH SHAP!
[16:09] <Ramus> SNAP*
[16:09] <Xan> ?
[16:09] <Ramus> Double digit HP?
[16:10] <Xan> Yes.
[16:10] <Xan> That's not all that unusual.
[16:10] <Ramus> This is madness!
[16:10] <Ramus> Also, 6 + 6 =12, 12 + 6 = 18.
[16:10] <Xan> L-L-L-LEVEL UP!
[16:10] <Ramus> Just pattern I noticed in the stats.
[16:10] <Xan> Off a rat.
[16:10] <Ramus> Woopie.
[16:11] <Xan> Is there ANY purpose to scrolls of paper?
[16:12] <Ramus> Yes.
[16:12] <Ramus> To piss you off.
[16:12] <Xan> Ah.
[16:12] <Ramus> And as a consequence...
[16:12] <Ramus> Make Xom laugh hard.
[16:13] <Xan> Oh wow, that nearly backfired.
[16:13] <Ramus> ?
[16:13] <Ramus> Also:  You're getting images, right?
[16:13] <Xan> Yes.
[16:14] <Ramus> So, what happened?
[16:14] <Xan> I had 1 hp, was poisoned, started chugging pots
[16:14] <Xan> First one was slow.
[16:14] <Xan> Second one was cure wounds
[16:14] <Xan> Third was healing.
[16:14] <Xan> I am so freaking lucky
[16:14] <Ramus> Potion Roulette go you out alive this time.
[16:14] <Xan> Yup.
[16:15] <Xan> And now I know the essential potions now.
[16:15] <Xan> And level 3, thanks to the snake that nearly owned me just a moment ago.
[16:15] <Ramus> Ah.
[16:15] <Ramus> How's HP doing?
[16:16] <Xan> 20HP
[16:16] <Xan> Let's see...
[16:16] <Xan> Ring of Strength +2...
[16:16] <Xan> Not great...
[16:16] <Ramus> Eh...
[16:16] <Ramus> Still allows you to hold more.
[16:16] <Xan> And a Enchant weapon 2.
[16:16] <Ramus> Oh, nice.
[16:17] <Xan> My dagger is now +1,+4
[16:17] <Ramus> Nice.
[16:18] <Xan> And now, revenge for the other day...
[16:18] <Ramus> I'm just going to post this suggestion of the Crawl's Hall of Shame Suggestions:
[16:18] <Ramus> Yaktaur Commando with gattling crossbow.
[16:18] <Ramus> And this one:
[16:18] <Ramus> Sexy Gnolls!
[16:18] <Xan> Hahaha!
[16:18] <Xan> Well, the first one would inspire people to murder you.
[16:19] <Ramus> And the second one is rule 34, 35, and/or 36.
[16:19] <Ramus> Anyway, status in game?
[16:19] <Xan> Uploading a pic.
[16:19] <Ramus> Whatcha ya floor, strangja?
[16:19] <Xan> 2
[16:20] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuyaRun1.jpg)
[16:20] <Xan> REVENGE!
[16:20] <Xan> HAHAHA!
[16:20] <Ramus> Ramus is to Xan as Sigmund is to Worm.
[16:21] <Xan> Fuck you, Crawl hasn't been spawning Sigmund for me to raep.
[16:21] <Ramus> Sigmund only rapes fighters.
[16:21] <Ramus> Which I main as.
[16:21] <Ramus> Fighters and Paladins.
[16:21] <Xan> Indeed.
[16:21] <Xan> Well, who's fault is that?
[16:22] <Ramus> Sigmund's!
[16:22] <Ramus> He's a big meanie!
[16:22] <Xan> Also, I think the "Deaths to Sigmund" count says otherwise.
[16:23] <Ramus> http://chaosforge.org/crawl/index.php?title=Sigmund
[16:24] <Xan> Level 4
[16:25] <Ramus> Woot.
[16:25] <Ramus> What's the turn count?
[16:25] <Xan> 2205
[16:25] <Ramus> Almost half way there.
[16:25] <Ramus> So, Atem or Tewi?
[16:25] <Xan> Worship Okawaru: Y/N?
[16:26] <Ramus> N
[16:26] <Xan> Okay.
[16:26] <Ramus> Unless you want to be blessed with heavy armor.
[16:26] <Xan> Oh hey, it's a ghost.
[16:27] <Ramus> What ghost?
[16:27] <Xan> Aya
[16:27] <Xan> I THINK it is one of mine.
[16:27] <Xan> Not 100% sure.
[16:27] <Ramus> Air Elementalist?
[16:27] <Ramus> Kenku, I'd assume.
[16:27] <Xan> No...
[16:27] <Xan> Kenku Fighter.
[16:28] <Ramus> Good enough.
[16:28] <Xan> Yeah, I'm taking this as a sign that I should RUN AWAY!
[16:29] <Ramus> Yes, yes you should.
[16:29] <Ramus> Kenkus make for badass fighters.
[16:29] <Xan> It's not just that.
[16:29] <Xan> Allow me to demonstrate.
[16:29] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/InuSakuyaRun2.jpg)
[16:29] <Xan> This is what I like to call RUNNING TIEM!
[16:30] <Ramus> I don't know.
[16:30] <Ramus> You can run faster than the Kenku.
[16:30] <Ramus> And the three in front are easy picking.
[16:30] <Ramus> Oh wait, your HP.
[16:30] <Ramus> Yeah, run.
[16:30] <Xan> Thank god for teleport scrolls
[16:31] <Ramus> Another bad Crawl suggestion:
[16:31] <Ramus> "Double Sword of Double Penetration"
[16:31] <Xan> I now have mephitic cloud.
[16:31] <Ramus> You got a spell book?
[16:31] <Xan> Yes.
[16:31] <Xan> Minor Magic (Summoning)
[16:32] <Ramus> Eh, don't use it too much.
[16:32] <Ramus> Magic is powered by your stomach.
[16:33] <Xan> I don't intend to.
[16:34] <Xan> Though subbing as a mage isn't a bad idea for sprigs.
[16:34] <Ramus> Just in case situations?
[16:34] <Ramus> Another horrible suggestion:
[16:34] <Ramus> "Add an altar of scientology to the Ecumenical Temple."
[16:34] <Xan> Wow, I found an alter of Vehumet.
[16:34] <Ramus> Hmm...
[16:35] <Xan> The game is just throwing random temples at me.
[16:35] <Ramus> He may not be a bad idea.
[16:35] <Ramus> Assuming you want branch into magic.
[16:35] <Xan> Eh, not sure.
[16:35] <Ramus> So then...
[16:35] <Ramus> Tewi or Atem?
[16:36] <Xan> Uh...
[16:36] <Xan> No clue.
[16:36] <Xan> FFFFFF
[16:36] <Xan> I'm going to die.
[16:36] <Ramus> ?
[16:36] <Ramus> SCREENSHOT
[16:38] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/Fuckyoucrawl.jpg)
[16:39] <Ramus> Run up and stab her out.
[16:39] <Xan> Oh fuck, right after I die I realize I should have cast mephitic cloud.
[16:39] <Ramus> <_<
[16:39] <Ramus> So yeah, care to do Suika now?
[16:39] <Xan> No.
[16:39] <Ramus> :<
[16:39] <Xan> I'd get her killed terribly.
[16:39] <Xan> BESIDES, I WILL SHOW YOU ALL!
[16:39] <Ramus> You mean Mokou?
[16:40] <Xan> SPRIGGAN ASSASSIN IS A PERFECTLY PLAYABLE COMBINATION!
[16:40] <Ramus> Yes it is.
[16:40] <Ramus> Crawl just hates you.

Oh, Norbert.  Okay, he went down rather quickly.

Probably the only interesting part of this run.  I'm not sure how much of a help the great mace of crushing is, though.

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5838/47321773.jpg) (http://img5.imageshack.us/my.php?image=47321773.jpg)

And... a spiny worm, which I have never seen before.  As fast as you are, and it poisons badly and has quite HP.  Still easy to dispatch though, since with Okawaru and an amulet of the gourmand, your strength is practically at +5 all the time.

---

Made it to D:18, without a ring of resist poison in sight.  Note that unseen horrors and mimics are becoming more and more common, and thus we should keep the helmet of see invisible until we get a ring (or amulet?) that can do that.  Also found a +2 EV ring.  Yup, okay.  I never liked the orcish mines so maybe someone could go there next.

Post by: Totaku on June 03, 2009, 01:56:55 AM
And so... it is my turn and in my run I can say that.... I DID IT!

Where shall we begin shall we?
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8210/picture1tbi.png)

As we all know  Patchouli had finished resting a long fight with all the nagas and snakes. She had fully recovered so she pressed onward...

She moved on and continued her fight and to her surprise, while fighting one of the nagas she heard Mima's voice once again.

"You have done well... take this with you."

At her feet, Patchouli was gifted with another book from Mima's collect... and it was...

(http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/1425/picture2dmn.png)

A Book of Frost. Seemed to be filled with some useful ice spell that could aid patchouli well. For now, she decided to keep the book for later use...
Once she took out the nagas and snakes in the area, she turns a yellow and grey snake into her undead servant and continued to the main area of the snake pit...
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9545/picture3wnh.png)

PAtchy then confronted a squad of Nagas which she sent her minions to remove the snaky terrors..
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8809/picture4y.png)

Heck, with grey and yellow snakes alone... her minions could take on even naga warriors.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9651/picture5d.png)

She continued down till she discovered what she's has struggled against the army of snakes to obtain.....THE SERPENTINE RUNE OF ZOT!

Thus this completed her exploration of the snake pit. But before she left she picked up the scroll of aquierment. And asked for a book. She recived a book of Practical Magic And ok book that has it's uses.

Form it, she could learn to detect curses, remove curses, and even dig. Other skills such as project noise, and Selective Amnesisa which aren't so useful as we already have Mima to aid us with that skill. Patchouli decided to learn how to detect curses incase she runs into any items that might be cursed...

She then proceed to exterminate the remaining nagas in the dungeon...
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9629/picture7c.png)

On her way out, she battled a few snakes and... LEVEL UP!
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8483/picture8c.png)

Afterward, she proceed back to the Lair where she decided to place the rune at the top floor.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4231/picture9g.png)
She also place a few other goods there along with and place her potions of cure mutation on the second floor next to the potions of mutation she left behind...

Patchoul got lost for a bit trying to find her next spot and she discovered another creature along the way...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3950/picture10z.png)

The Orange Rat, the most dangerous of the rats. They may seem simple like the other rats but they are know to have bites that can drain anyone's experience. So use caution when fighting these rodents. Not that she had to worry much... she ignored them....

After running around being lost momentarly she evetually found her way to the next area on the list...

THE SWAMP!

And right when she entered...

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2967/picture11u.png)
She was greeted at the stairs by tons of creatures!

Six Slime Creatures and a 6 headed Hydra....all resting.

And I knew Patchouli's undead minions were bound to wake them up so without choice....Patchouli took a gamble and ran to the stairs down the next floor. All the creatures woke up  but were unable to see her and she successfully escaped from the madness.

On the second floor she had to deal with misquitos that would constantly chase after herfor her blood and thier infectious diesease would make her sick....
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7788/picture12lbi.png)

She even found a lava pit in the middle of the swamp where Lava snakes live.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/649/picture13n.png)

Lava Snakes are dangerous snakes in thier own terms at they are capable of shoot fire at you burning your scrolls. But luckly PAtchouli's bolt of cold put them in thier place easily.

Patchouli tried to return to the first floor. She ran into another unsual creature... The swamp Drake.
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/7894/picture14m.png)

A small little dragon who's breaths can release toxic clouds into the air. Breathing in the toxic gas will only result with becoming poison and possibly confused by the harmful gas. But as long as she has poison resistance, she has nothing to fear.

There was one thing however that did make her trip difficult....

Insubclitant Wisp...
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4322/picture15.png)

These forms of gas while lack HP are made up with intense agility and roam in groups.... A warrior can stand up to these things. But with Patchouli, it's another case. Due to her frail nature.... these things acutally pose a threat and because of thier immunity to fire and ice, they are hard to damage.

Regardless her bolt of Ice managed to drive through them and damage them to the point they would be vanquished sooner or later though it was rather difficult for PAtchouli to deal with them she could only handle two or three at a time. Any more and she would be forced to retreat due to the danger they pose to her...

Course things seems to get intense of the frist floor so she returned to the second floor once against. She ran into a 5 headed hydra down there....

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4359/picture16c.png)

Hydras always come with somewhere between 5 -8 heads in general. With each head they can attack you one extra time. They are practically immune to most stat infecting magic and attacking them with slashing weapons is out of the question as it would only make them grow two heads for every one you chop off. Course if you have a flame sword or axe, then you can actually chop thier heads off with fear of them regrowing any eventually killing them!.

But what does Patchouli do against this thing? Simple...Sticky flame it, then bolt of ice it to death work on most creature. :P

Other than that...one of the thing that is making the trip in the swamp annoying.....

(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9505/picture17z.png)
Gold fish....ton of them!

The water's are practically unsafe on most parts because of them and it is making Patchouli's trip very difficult.

Other than that, just your average dungeon trip in the swamps....

For now Patchouli has rested and she has gone for 5000 turns so whoever wants to play her next, sign up!

I'll have the file ready.

Also sign me up for the next round!

Gosh, this is very disturbing.  Okay, if this doesn't work, I suggest that they just continue from the level 12 savefile.

Okay, let's get this thing going again.  We pick up with Suika again only to find out she's encumbered.  Someone got greedy.  Dropping wand of random effects.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/97.png)

Woop woop!  Guess where I go?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/98.png)

But I first investigate this metal fortress.  Also, +4,+2 Mace of Crushing, taking this for a test ride.  Eh, I prefer having a shield.

Wait, Yaktuar Captains this early?  No, going back.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/99.png)

After a quick stop in the Hive to dump stuff, here we are.  Later, I get a lame shield of life protection.  Our other shield already covers that.  Amulet of Resist Mutation found.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/100.png)

Snake Pit.  Yay.  Let's go!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/101.png)

Got a scimitar of flaming, so we're set for any variety of enemy.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/102.png)

Harold, an evil bounty hunter.  Suika smashes his face in.  God gift!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/103.png)

Eh...

+0,-6 b >_O  Drop it.  Michael, too, another unique, we've seen him before.  Result the same.  Another god gift, +0 splint mail of cold resistance, dropping.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/104.png)

Food store, yay...

Stopping there, since I'm exactly on the turn limit.  Not much happened since I was busy backtracking which ate up a lot of turns.
The snakes are easy to kill, as are the naga, Suika should be able to reach the mages before they have a chance to hurt her, so have fun!  I expect Suika to have at least two runes by the time I get back in two and a half weeks.

This folder should have the updated Suika files, updated Patchouli files, and the updated bone files.  So we should be good with just this file.  Have fun!  And Xan, good luck with InuSakuya.

With me this time was Rabbit.

[09:36] <Rabbit> Okay
[09:36] <Rabbit> So, Crawl
[09:37] <Rabbit> A very existential sort of name
[09:37] <Xan> Indeed.
[09:37] <Rabbit> Is it a metaphor for people? Do we just crawl around on our elbows and knees
[09:37] <Rabbit> Searching for loot to make us more successful at life
[09:37] <Rabbit> Until at last we meet our match and die, and it's all for nothing
[09:37] <Xan> Good question.
[09:38] <Xan> I think it's more of a description of what this game will reduce you to.
[09:38] <Rabbit> Sounds like an acquired taste
[09:39] <Xan> Not exactly. It's fun, it just likes killing you. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
[09:39] <Rabbit> So I take it there's some sort of big bad evil guy at the end of Crawl
[09:39] <Rabbit> You know, like Morgoth on his throne in Angband?
[09:40] <Xan> No.
[09:40] <Xan> Just a fancy artifact.
[09:40] <Rabbit> and the point of the game, ostensibly, is to find this fancy artifact?
[09:40] <Xan> Guarded by Dragons, Half-Dragons, Fetuses, and Clowns.
[09:40] <Xan> Yes.
[09:41] <Rabbit> Are they dragon fetuses?
[09:41] <Rabbit> and dragon clowns?
[09:41] <Xan> No.
[09:41] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/NewInuSakuya1.jpg)
[09:41] <Xan> Looks innocent, doesn't it.
[09:41] <Rabbit> Uh Xan, I don't think we're in Shrinemaiden anymore...
[09:42] <Xan> I need the tags for when I post this.
[09:42] <Rabbit> It was more a general wizard of oz joke
[09:42] <Xan> Ah.
[09:42] <Rabbit> But that works too
[09:42] <Xan> Yeh.
[09:42] <Rabbit> So it seems that you can't see ye place.
[09:43] <Xan> Sight radius, yah know?
[09:43] <Xan> Gotta explore.
[09:43] <Rabbit> and when a place is out of sight, does it become hidden again?
[09:43] <Xan> Well, it still shows up on the map.
[09:43] <Xan> You just can't tell if monsters have wandered in.
[09:44] <Rabbit> On the positive side, you don't have to keep your own map.
[09:44] <Xan> Yup.
[09:44] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/NewInuSakuya2.jpg)
[09:44] <Xan> WHAT IS THIS?
[09:44] <Xan> A KOBOLD AND A RAT?
[09:44] <Xan> I'M GOING TO DIE!
[09:45] <Rabbit> Well, isn't that your job?
[09:45] <Rabbit> You are the dog of the Scarlet Devil
[09:45] <Xan> ;_;
[09:45] <Rabbit> That's where the expression "die like dogs" came from right?
[09:45] <Rabbit> As an aside, dog is pretty tasty.
[09:46] <Xan> ;____;
[09:46] <Rabbit> So why InuSakuya?
[09:47] <Xan> Because I'm playing as a spriggan assassin and normal Sakuya is too large.
[09:47] <Rabbit> So she was an assassin, and thus had to be Sakuya
[09:47] <Rabbit> But a spriggan is too short.
[09:47] <Xan> Indeed.
[09:48] <Xan> And Inusakuya is small.
[09:48] <Xan> And SO MOE I WILL DIE!
[09:48] <Rabbit> Couldn't this spriggan assassin be one of the Prismrivers? You know, a musical assassin.
[09:48] <Xan> I guess.
[09:48] <Xan> But I haet the Prismrivers.
[09:48] <Xan> L-l-l-LEVEL UP!
[09:49] <Rabbit> Haet is such a strong word.
[09:49] <Rabbit> (But I really, really, really don't like you)
[09:49] <Rabbit> Oh god, I can't believe I just did that.
[09:49] <Xan> ;_;
[09:49] <Xan> Is that a song reference?
[09:49] <Rabbit> Yeah.
[09:50] <Rabbit> Don't know why I know it. I just do somehow.
[09:50] <Xan> Okay.
[09:50] <Xan> I know the feeling.
[09:50] <Rabbit> Getting back on track for a moment, what exactly are you trying to do at this point in the game?
[09:51] <Xan> Survive?
[09:52] <Rabbit> That's more of a goal for the game in general.
[09:53] <Xan> Yeah.
[09:53] <Rabbit> I hear you guys talking about various areas of the game and how you should have some kind of strategy or approach.
[09:53] <Xan> Yeah, well, right now, I'm getting to the point where all that stuff applies
[09:54] <Xan> At this point, my strategy is:Poke stuff until it dies. If it doesn't die, run away.
[09:54] <Rabbit> Oh I see. Now that I look at the last screenshot, you're only Level 1
[09:54] <Xan> Yeah.
[09:54] <Xan> I have leveled up since then.
[09:55] <Xan> I wonder how many laws I have broken so far?
[09:55] <Rabbit> Wouldn't it be easier if you could find some way to broadcast your screen?
[09:55] <Xan> Does killing kobolds count as murder?
[09:55] <Rabbit> Rather than uploading screenshots to photobucket?
[09:56] <Rabbit> Well...not "murder" as such.
[09:56] <Rabbit> Murder is causing the death of a human being, according to the Fatal Offences Act
[09:56] <Rabbit> Also known as the Homicide  Act. I can't law today.
[09:56] <Xan> Okay.
[09:57] <Rabbit> I'm sure there's some separate offence for causing the death of sub-human species'
[09:58] <Xan> Yeah.
[09:59] <Xan> Anyhow, it's all self defence, I assure you.
[09:59] <Xan> Except the ones I stap in their sleep.
[10:00] <Rabbit> I'm pretty sure they were dreaming of killing you anyway.
[10:00] <Xan> Yeah.
[10:00] <Xan> Or perhaps we're just getting paranoid.
[10:01] <Rabbit> What else would Kobolds dream of?
[10:01] <Rabbit> Draconic sheep?
[10:01] <Rabbit> Yeah, I went there.
[10:01] <Xan> Well, it's possible.
[10:01] <Xan> There are Half-Dragon SHAMBLING MOUNDS.
[10:02] <Rabbit> Oh god don't remind me.
[10:02] <Xan> Could someone explain how that's even POSSIBLE?
[10:02] <Rabbit> They were Fairy Dragons.
[10:03] <Rabbit> Alternate theory: Dragon polymorphs into elf.
[10:04] <Xan> >_>
[10:04] <Rabbit> After living in elven society for so long, he begins to pick up the attitudes and mannerisms of elves.
[10:04] <Rabbit> Including tree-hugging.
[10:04] <Xan> That's tree-hugging, not tree-****ing
[10:04] <Rabbit> Except that because it's a Fairy Dragon it has no sense of perspective or proportion and takes it to the point where it becomes a sport.
[10:04] <Xan> Besides, it was a green dragon.
[10:04] <Rabbit> EXTREME tree-hugging.
[10:05] <Xan> Yes, a GREEN dragon.
[10:05] <Rabbit> Fairy dragon makes more sense.
[10:05] <Rabbit> Or did you just encounter a green dragon?
[10:06] <Xan> No.
[10:06] <Xan> I won't be seeing THOSE any time soon.
[10:06] <Rabbit> Good thing, I guess.
[10:07] <Rabbit> Okay, so for the sake of continuing this theory, a green dragon.
[10:07] <Rabbit> Among the most cunning and brutal of dragonkind
[10:07] <Rabbit> Trust a green dragon to invent the potentially lethal sport of EXTREME tree-hugging
[10:07] <Xan> Fair enough.
[10:08] <Rabbit> So a series of challenges and many dead elves brought the sport to its natural conclusion - the competitors would have to try and hug a Shambling Mound.
[10:09] <Xan> I see.
[10:09] <Xan> Interesting theory.
[10:09] <Rabbit> However, the resemblance of the anatomy of this plant-like creature to anything humanoid is questionable at best.
[10:09] <Rabbit> So in the end it was purely by accident.
[10:09] <Xan> Yeah.
[10:09] <Rabbit> The rest is, as they say, history.
[10:09] <Rabbit> Or did you think I was going to be writing some kind of slash fic involving tree rape?
[10:10] <Rabbit> Is that all I am to you Xan?
[10:10] <Rabbit> An outlet for your darker fetishes?
[10:10] <Xan> No.
[10:10] <Xan> Your the one who brought it up.
[10:10] <Xan> UncertainKitten does all the fetish stuff.
[10:11] <Rabbit> As I recall you were the one who brought up Half-Dragon Shambling Mounds.
[10:12] <Xan> True, but I wasn't thinking about that >_>
[10:12] <Rabbit> You wanted to know how it was possible.
[10:12] <Rabbit> I obliged.
[10:13] <Xan> As I recall, the actual reason was that said green dragon was obsessed with creating an empire consisting of itself and its spawn, and was thus obsessively creating half dragon creatures...
[10:13] <Rabbit> Oh did they actually come up with a reason?
[10:14] <Xan> Yes.
[10:14] <Rabbit> I kinda figured it was one of those oversights in the Draconomicon that no one ever bothered to patch up.
[10:14] <Xan> Nah.
[10:14] <Xan> The Draconomicon was fairly well fleshed out.
[10:15] <Rabbit> I'll take your word for it. I haven't read it.
[10:15] <Xan> I haven't read the 4E one yet, mind you.
[10:16] <Rabbit> Speaking of 4Ed, I really like the Avenger class in PHB2
[10:16] <Rabbit> particularly the assassin paragon path that they have
[10:16] <Xan> Well, we've got room for another person in our game, I think...
[10:17] <Rabbit> Is this Stuffman's game or Pesco's?
[10:17] <Xan> Stuffman's.
[10:17] <Xan> Pesco's is vaporware.
[10:17] <Rabbit> I see.
[10:17] <Rabbit> But then their role is striker and I get the feeling you guys have a lot of strikers as it is.
[10:17] <Rabbit> Just taking a wild guess.
[10:18] <Xan> Nah.
[10:18] <Xan> Not really.
[10:18] <Xan> We're starting a new campaign because the last one died.
[10:18] <Xan> Soooo.
[10:18] <Xan> Yeah, we could use you.
[10:20] <Rabbit> Sounds cool.
[10:20] <Rabbit> So you guys are playing Sunday?
[10:21] <Xan> yes.
[10:21] <Rabbit> What time?
[10:21] <Xan> Uh...
[10:21] <Xan> Ask stuffman, he knows timezones better than I do.
[10:22] <Xan> BACK TO CRAWL!
[10:22] <Rabbit> Yes, anyway.
[10:22] <Rabbit> Tree rape is not okay kids.
[10:23] <Rabbit> So concerning Crawl, has your situation improved at all?
[10:23] <Rabbit> Or are you still having to run away from anything and everything?
[10:24] <Xan> FFF, I died.
[10:24] <Xan> Fire applied directly to the forehead is bad, kids.
[10:26] <Rabbit> So death is permanent in this game.
[10:26] <Xan> Yeah.

I did some testing with the new version and it looks like the saves are not compatible.

At least if the thing that says that Patchouli is a level 0 Yak of Sif Muna is correct.

Oh gosh.  Got smitted to death by someone while being teleported to the middle of greater nagas on the final floor.  Also got hit by rot from death oozes and acid blobs.  So well, next.

Don't sign me up for now.

Post by: Totaku on June 14, 2009, 04:18:32 PM
Ok this run was terrible that's all I'll say...

Long story short. Patchouli started off fine at she continued her trip through the swamp...

(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2641/picture1mte.png)
She returned to the first floor. To try to clear out the area..

However it was more than she could bargin for...

Basiclly it wasn't the wisps that bothered her, nor the snakes, nor the hydra....

It was rather...the swamp worms....

apperntly the area was filled with them and they managed to make it impossible for her to escape at one point as she was exhuasted from magic and lacked health and so trying find dry land to escape the worm she end up being surprised attack from in the water by more swamp warms.....

And so Patchouli died....
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1552/picture2cgg.png)

 Sign me up for another round I'll get to it later...

However, I'd also like to say for everyone who's watcing this thread....
Sign up and join you guys! We need some more players to play through Suika and Patchouli! I'd hate to be the only one playing this!
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 26, MoTK : 0 - yeah, i guess we did
Post by: Totaku on June 19, 2009, 02:25:40 AM
Well....this was better but I feel it would be nice if someone else jumped in to play other than me.
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3637/picture1wfr.png)

We started off back on the second floor of the swamp... Patchouli returned up to the first floor to explore and sticky flamed all she could see.

It made her trip so much easier.... However the area of the swamp was mainly 60-70% water and nothing else....

She then proceed down to floor 3..

Pretty much Patchouli confronted the terror that threatened her before hand...the swamp worm

(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4701/picture2vgu.png)

Natorious for lurking in the waters and snaging you when you least expect it. These worms can wreck a traveler easily if they aren't paying attention to water in the water.

Patchouli had decided to sticky flame the worms and most of them died as they dove in the waer to avoid further damage...

She then came across a smoking Trident , she decided to put it on and it turned out to be...

(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8536/picture3jnm.png)

CURSED!!!

(http://img40.imageshack.us/i/picture4gti.png/)

Patchouli removed the curse and decided to examine to see if it was worth since it had promising benifits. however....

It was a -2 -1 Trident of Eternal Torment. Not worth the time...

(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4038/picture6ypb.png)
Then I ran into this guy...Meet Jozef, a bounty hunter, with plenty of nets and too much time on his hands..

(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4146/picture7d.png)
Just then Jozef netted Patchouli....does that mean he had the upperhand? Nope! Because Patchouli just blasted him with magic till he was no more while stuck under the net. That idiot had no chance...

Patchouli decided to take the nets and pressed forward...

PAtchouli then met and was surprise attacked by Elrica!

(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8659/picture8zll.png)

Blasting her with a orb of energy....

Patchouli had to come up with a quick way take her out and so she blasted her with cold and before we knew it she was finished....

Patchouli then pressed on to the 5th floor of the swamp....the deepest parts of the swamp.


Along the way she found a cloak, it was a +1 cloak, nothing special, but better than the clock she was wearing so she replace her old cloak with the new one.

It was then things went down hill.

The place was swarming with wisps and Slime creatures. The wisps are the main pain due to strong immunty to most form of elements. But the slime creature what finshed off Patchouli as she was downright exhusted and unable to use her magic....

And in the end she was struck hard by one of them....
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/3950/picture10z.png)

So sorry...I'll do better next time...

But for now I'd like to remind everyone...
It would be nice to have more players than me for the relay so come and join!

As for now sign me up again, but I'm going to wait a bit because I would like it if someone else played first... but if nothing happen in the next few day then well I guess I'll go again...

Sign me back up.  If possible, I'll start the run tomorrow.  (Also, hi, I'm back, something about a troll attack apparently while I was gone?)  Lastly, Version 5.0 is not compatible with anything before it so, we continue this run as normal.

Post by: Totaku on June 24, 2009, 06:14:01 PM
Ok I know Wrathie went before me, but he said he's not posting his run since it was...not so good. :P

In the mean time it's my turn to tell the story and as it turned out.... 3rd time's the charm!

I chose not to cover much on the first four floors since they were almost the same but there were a small exceptions....

Most of Patchouli's adventure was the same old same old from floor 1-3 of the swamp taking out hydras, and swamp dragons...
(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5859/picture1fbu.png)

Patchouli then found a ring after taking out the creatures which turned out to be..
(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/9923/picture2prj.png)

A ring of magical power....good for giving you more MP. But not entirely nessary to use all the time. Patchouli however kept it since it may come into use.

Patchouli did however find a shop on the 4th floor. And here's what it had....
(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/203/picture3lcl.png)

Not all that much there, but there were a few highlights.

The Long sword of Holy Wrath +3 +3, good for slaying demons and undead and then there was also the Crystal Ball of Energy.
(http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/2033/picture4qop.png)

Should I get it? Wrathie says there's a deadly risk if your MP is 0 if you use it though....

For now  Patcholi bought a potion of heal wound and pressed forth...to the 5th floor.
(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/3272/picture5wai.png)

It started off easy, but became rather hard for her after a short while because the swamp was crawling with Ugly things and Wisps!
(http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5862/picture6i.png)

Ugly things are basicly what they are...ugly and they usually roam in groups. They can attack and run and are resistant to ice. So of course Patchouli has one course of action against these ugly things....

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

And the wisp on the other hand are a challenge due to being resistant to fire and ice making it hard to damage them... but fortunately Patchouli's luck would change....

While retreating from the wisp Patchouli confronted a Troll named Snorg. AKA: The Troll of RAAAAGGGEEE!!!!
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8104/picture7o.png)

Snorg is simalar to other trolls in terms of attacks, but what makes him different is when he's usually part way hurt he will usually enter RAGE mode and slaughter you! Patchouli kept her distance she she blasted the troll with ice, and eventually Snorg fell...

Also  to mention alot of rings down on that floor were rings of fire protection. I donno if it's nessary to pick up one when we have one so I left more of them there.

A few more fights later after PAtchouli froze a swamp drake, she heard Mima's voice once again....

"My pupil, you are doing quite well take this with you..."

(http://img146.imageshack.us/i/picture8l.png/)

A book set before Patchouli's feet and it turned out what Patchouli recived from Mima was a wonderful gift indeed!

(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4964/picture9vuw.png)

The Book of Annihilation!

A book that's filled with the most devestating of magic spell that one can find. All very powerful and dangerous under the right hands. All Patchouli needed to do is prepare herself to learn these spells, for now though.... she used Mima's power to forget Magic darts and replaced it with Iskendurun's Mystic Blast.

Mystic Blast is a upgraded version of the magic dart and is quite powerful. It is especially useful in situations where you may face enemies with immunities to paticular spells and elements.

This would be especially useful when Patchouli dealt with the wisps as they would be complete pushovers with this spell.

(http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/9088/picture10v.png)
Other than that ,Patchy ran into Jozef, being the idiot he is, loves to net you while he get blasted with magic. No threat....
 
Following that Patchouli came across a stone area which she felt she wasn't ready for just yet cause it was filled with Hydras and swamp dragons. All she knew is that she needed to take caution, but first needed to recover first. So she retreated into a small area in the south as she recoveded...

I stopped at 69000 even. Basiclly I went almost 6000 turns, but was a little short (thankfully)...

For now though Patchouli will have to wait to recover before she venture forth to hunt the rune!

And of course here's the file for Ramus to use.

Sign me up again!

We'll stick to 0.4.5 for now.  Next run shall be 0.5.

Anyway, still in the Snake Pits.  Still stepping on snakes.  I dare not bite any apple I find here.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/105.png)

Glowing chainmail.  +1 Chain Mail, LAME.  I've got +4 platemail of cold resistance.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/106.png)

Final floor, number 5.  Hopefully something exciting will happen here as Suika has been stepping all over these nagas and snakes.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/107.png)

JOY!  We can finally cast spells.  Now to go get that confusing touch.  Where did I leave that book again?  Hive?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/108.png)

Hello, nice mace.  But has few uses of it proves that it has -2,-5 stat.  Dumping.  Also a +1 helmet of intelligence.  Dumping.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/109.png)

Situation gets bad as Suika gets teleported to in the middle of a wide open area.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/110.png)

Who's awesome now?!  Twenty nagas later and the area is cleared out.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/111.png)

Not done yet.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/112.png)

We'll be needing this later.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/113.png)

This game seriously needs a pee command for moments like this, just to, you know, pee on the fire and piss off an evil god or two.  (All puns intended)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/114.png)

Naga mages like their teleportation spells.  Regardless, this one actually lands me near the rune, so...

RUNE SNATCH AND TELEPORT
.
.
.
Only to land in a nest of greater naga, why do you hate me so teleportation?  Well, that was fun, hope you guys enjoyed my (short) turn.

Regardless, Xan, just use the file above, and also, the area is pretty easy except for the greater naga, but so long as you don't attempt to take on too many at a time and ration the healing potions, you should be fine.

I guess I may be off topic, but I need to know, how do you get this crawl to work, since I think it's the src version, and I'm completely baffled at how to get it to work, some help would be appreciated, and yes I do feel like a noob for asking, but I'm just not that savvy with this.

[14:11] <Xan> Crawl tiem!
[14:11] <Xan> Uh, what can I drop, I'm encumbered.
[14:12] <Ramus> Probably the magic resistance armor.
[14:12] <Xan> Okay
[14:12] <Ramus> By the time we deal with the elves or other magical beings, we'll be able to stand it.
[14:12] <Xan> Yes.
[14:12] <Xan> Plus, we're a dwarf.
[14:13] <Ramus> So we hate elves!
[14:13] <Ramus> Die Meiling!
[14:13] <Xan> ;_;
[14:13] <Ramus> Joking.
[14:13] <Xan> Meiling was awesome.
[14:13] <Ramus> Yes she was.
[14:14] <Ramus> Until almost everyone gave up
on her half way.
[14:14] <Ramus> Late game isn't that hard.
[14:14] <Ramus> Especially when you're a Monk with blade hands.
[14:14] <Xan> Indeed.
[14:14] <Ramus> Fricking killed a Hell Lord at quarter health.
[14:15] <Xan> Niice.
[14:15] <Ramus> Anyway, how's the Nagas treating you?
[14:16] <Xan> Not to badly.
[14:17] <Xan> The floor I'm on is full of freaking electric eels, however.
[14:18] <Xan> Argh, died.
[14:18] <Xan> Fucking ghost.
[14:18] <Xan> So freaking annoying.
[14:18] <Xan> Damnit, I didn't get screenshots.
[14:30] <Ramus> Who was the ghost?
[14:30] <Xan> Wait, I'll screenshot this, just so that whoever was responible for the ghost can claim it.
[14:30] <Xan> (http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/gg442/Xan_The_Shadow/Ohfuckthis.jpg)
[14:31] <Xan> Spent the entire thing locked in confusion and sleep.
[14:31] <Ramus> Not mine.
[14:31] <Xan> Didn't think so.
[14:31] <Ramus> So I'm guessing Totaku.
[14:31] <Ramus> Also, fun fact:
[14:31] <Xan> No.
[14:31] <Xan> It's definately not his.
[14:31] <Ramus> Ghosts don't have MP.
[14:31] <Xan> Yes.
[14:31] <Ramus> Or at least, they don't have a finite amount.
[14:32] <Xan> So anyhow, that ghost was THE WORST.
[14:32] <Xan> I couldn't do ANYTHING.
[14:32] <Xan> Basically he locked me down.

Let me continue with the story of Patchouli KNowledge and the Swamp:

When we were last left off, Pacthy was recovering waiting for her chance to make her move. When she was fully healed she traveled forth and battled a few hydra and swamp drakes, while this was simple for her it would soon become hard for her because she was running low on magic and was being chanced by another hydra who was catching up to her. Realized the small options she had she used her wand to teleportation to escape from the multiheaded menace....

However were she ended up turned be rather unpleasent...

(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4667/picture1nzm.png)

Stuck out in the middle of water... it couldn't be safe here, but yet no marine life seem to threaten her there so she rested.

But just after a few moments something came out from behind the rocks...

!!!
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5491/picture2kud.png)

It was the dreaded Swamp Dragon.

I didn't give a desription last time, but in general, swamp dragons are quite stong in terms of melee and can breath poisonous breath. The good part is though, as long as you have poison resistance, you won't suffer from the pain it usually deals with making it a minor threat but it's best not to face it up close....

Patchouli sticky flamed it and then froze it till it died and then had to resort to blinking to escape from her area as she was stuck with no way to escape otherwise...

It seemed though, no matter how hard she tried she was bound to be ganged up, especially by Swamp Dragons and hydras...

(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3250/picture3eah.png)

Most of the time Patchouli had to make several retreats and plan her actions carefully as it seem the hydras and dragons were coming masses...would this maddness end?

(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/9885/picture4jtv.png)

Fortunately during the mad confrontation Patchouli leveled up to level 17!

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7580/picture5kom.png)

After exterminating several Hydras and dragons later Patchouli came up to the stone structure...

What would she find here?
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6415/picture6lvr.png)

Why the Decaying Rune of Zot!!!
(http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4726/picture7dmg.png)

Patchouli imidiatelly took the rune and made a dash off to the stairs to escape from the murky swamp.

Once she escaped from the horrible place she returned to the first floor of the lair where she began to organize all her belongings she's gathered...
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4834/picture8t.png)

Now it should be easy to tell where everything is! (The way it was before hand was a mess.)

So for now Patchouli has gathered 2 runes and now proceeds back up to the dungeon in hunt for the 3rd rune....

As she traveled down stairs she confronted a strange creature....a Lindwurm
(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/4231/picture9g.png)

While rare to confront in the dungeon. The Lindwurm is knonw for breathing fire, and using it's arms to strike it's enemies. Luckly, Patchouli was fire resistant so she could handle the heat (even if it meant loosing a scroll or two...)

She went then went to the hive and then took some of the food and items she left behind there as well as took a few honey comb and jellies. She then continued her trip through the dungeon.

She then rant into another strange creature....

The Boggrat.

Boggrats are small and frail creatures, but they are known for being natorious tricksters. When they spot you, they are likely to blink, teleport, and summon a whole mess of enemies at you!

But a well place hit can kill them instantly since they aren't strong so plan carfully...
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9269/picture10wrh.png)

The boggrats were easy to pick off at least till I noticed there were like 3 of them located in one area.....

(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/602/picture11n.png)

This here is a good example why you shouldn't let boggrats get a chance to make a move, they'll spam out tons of enemies that will hound you out and make your life hard... Needless to say though, Patchouli was able to take the boggrats and most of thier summons down before she had to run temporarly....

Patchouli traveled down the floor and discovered a new creature...The Rakshara

The Rakshara is a tiger demon who is known for his natorious tricks and illusions. When fighting he tends to make copies of himself that can fight in a simalar matter as the orginal but can be eliminated easily, and it can also turn himself invisible.

But if dispatched quickly, the tiger is pratically a weakling.

After defeating the Rakshara, Patchouli went to the shop to see what was on sale....
(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6453/picture13k.png)

Lots of antique armor and good low prices....would they be worth thier price though?

Patchouli bought the glowing robe, the faintly glowing robe, and the polished leather armor.

She tried on the faintly glowing robe and it turned out to be...

(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6010/picture14xrt.png)

Useless, uncursed and dumped it.

Next, the gowing robe.

(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9242/picture15w.png)

Actually could be useful, magic resistance can be a life saver in some occasions, but it still doesn't top the Robe of Resistance, but not useless either... keeping

Next, the polished leather armor...

It turned out to be some +3 Leather Armor with a fancy name...but it wasn't exactly good as it only granted +2 evasion....

Useless so Patchy dumped it.

Patchouli then came across an amulet that she tried and it turned out to be rather useful once she identified it!
(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/8170/picture16psl.png)

This amulet will protect you from the effect of acid from most occasions.

While not completely, you are very unlikley to have your equipment corrode anytime soon as long as Patchouli wares it.

It'll be perfect when Patchouli is ready to investigate the slime pits!

Patchouli explored further north but to her surprise she came across a different human that she didn't see before...
(http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7688/picture17w.png)

It was a Vault Guard. Vault Gaurds don't usually appear in the dungeon that often...unless they are gaurding something very importnat....

They are heavily armed and well armored and confronting them in melee can be dangerous especially for Patchouli... It would take some sticky flames and a few bolts of ice before taking one down. She pressed forward...

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/9859/picture18x.png)

She couldn't be anymore right! They were protecting something! The stairways to the vaults. The next location that Patchouli is making plans to explore.... Fighting this many was out of the question as it would take too long so she had to run and find a different way to tackle them one by one...

After retreating up the floor and coming down another taking out bees and so forth she had to fight several vault gaurd and retreat on some occasions. Her own equipment actually began to weigh her down making it hard to even outrun the vault gaurds so out of despseration she droped her honey combs and began to run.

Luckly for her she managed to escape with only minor wounds and rested back at the hive as she dropped off a few belonging before returning down and taking out the Vault guard and getting her honey combs she left.

And so Patchouli had to rest for a while...
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4712/picture19d.png)

And thus this ends Patchouli's turn for the Crawl Relay.

Ramus is up next so here's the file

Also sign me up again! I'm on a roll!

Seeing as Patchouli is not getting nearly enough love to cure her asthmatic problems, I'll be playing her for this round.  So as Totaku left us, we were near the vaults and hungry.  Wizard needs food badly.  Regardless, we have an awesome ring of +5 intelligence and no need for poison resistance for a while.  Thus, 32 INT!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/115.png)

So we ate food and got this!  Now Patchouli can cast spells constantly with little to no hunger.  Wizard does not need food badly.  Regardless, we're encumbered, so time to dump some stuff at the Hive.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/116.png)

Too many to deal with, let's go harvest a corpse or two.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/117.png)

SON OF A-  PUT ON THE BOSS MUSIC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lqsYW5CP7U&feature=PlayList&p=70F8ADE443A915A7&index=85)

Okay, here's the deal.  I've been generated with a rock troll next to me, which if you know of the normal troll, then think of this guy as the one that hits harder, moves just as fast, and has stupidly high AC.  He also has ABSURD regenerative powers, even for a troll.  Seven giants, one is a mage, another is a two headed which means double attacking, a centuar warrior who can tear Patch to shreds and a dragon zombie to top it off.

BADASS BLINK!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/118.png)

<_____<

BADASS BLINK

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/119.png)

Okay, now just read a scroll of teleportation and I should get far away enough to manage.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/120.png)

Crisis averted.  Let's kill some ugly things.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/121.png)

I clear most of the floor, but there's still those monsters, such as the seven yaks, the two cyclops, and that hill giant.  And the MP bar is empty.  A quick recharge of MP, a run back down stairs, and some BADASS BLINKING and I manage to kill off the enemies.  TO FLOOR 2!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/122.png)

In case you're wondering, the Vaults always greet you this way.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/123.png)

Remember what Totaku said about Boggarts?  Yeah...

Okay, that's all cleared up.  Regardless, the flying skulls are becoming stupidly common and in mass and Patch lacks proper crowd control abilties...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/124.png)

Concrete walls and flying skulls.  I believe this is the entrance to the Crypt.  And zombies, and vampires, we're at the Crypt entrance for sure.  Not entering it though.  The Crypt is a fricking scaring place.

Zot Trap, Patch's first in the game.  THE PAIN AND AGONY!  Half of Patch's HP taken straight off!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/125.png)

GOD GIFT!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/126.png)

Fun Fact:  Divination is likely to be removed in the future from Crawl if they haven't already done it in 0.5.

Yonk!  One scimitar of flaming for those just in case scenarios.  It's elven to boot.  Ring of +4 evasion.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/127.png)

New floor, number 3.  So remember, the Crypt is on floor 2.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/128.png)

Frick Crawl, must you make me wrong ten steps after I say something?  BACK TO FLOOR 3!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/129.png)

Shafted to floor 6 from floor 3 (ha ha, get it?).

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/130.png)

FRICK!  Dragon, and in my last 500 turns!  I won't lose to you Crawl!

And it's dead.  As well as mini kobold fort and I'm back on floor 3.  Be sure to stop by floor 2 to see what's in the fortress of the living dead.

Final thoughts:

1.  Learn to use the A slot, J slot, and N slot buttons ALOT when casting.  They're kickass.
2.  Shafts suck.
3.  BADASS BLINKING is highly recommended to have when entering a floor of the vault.

Post by: Totaku on June 29, 2009, 06:34:09 PM
Ok I'm continuing where Ramus left Patchouli...

As the story began, Patchy was busy recovering from her poison when she was ambused by a number of slime creatures.

A majority of her zombie minions were beaten down but she managed to survive.

She decided that she would take the time to explore the floor above her but before she got there she found what looked like a Potion of speed....
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/5017/picture2rff.png)

Or so she thought....

It was really a mimic in diguise. Mimic's are somewhat of a nusiance to deal with cause you may find an item and if you go near one it'll attack you several times and possibly poison you. Also they are best dealt with in close range combat, using a spell on them will usally cause them vanish and teleport to another part of the floor in another form. Luckly, Patchouli is strong enough to tackle these things with her sword.

Patchouli returned to the 2nd floor to the area she was unsure about exploring before hand...It seemed to be surrounded by a stone wall....very supicious...
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6628/picture3mzk.png)

And within a few steps in she finally realize what she came across...

(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4536/picture4tjq.png)

A vampire den! Filled with vampires!

The vampire alone isn't exactly threatening, but they are natourious for summoning mammals (or as Ramus loves to call it..."Spammals"

They tend to summon mammals quite alot and can overtake you if you're not careful. And being dead makes them automaticlly immune to ice and draining magic. Other than that, they can also use some enchantment spells like invisible and the like...

In Patchouli's case, she had to eliminate them as quickly as possible. And with some sitcky flames and Mystic blasts The vampire was downed before it could have a chance to spam. (Obviously they are no where nearly as strong as Mistress Remilia.)
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5646/picture5xse.png)

She also confronted the Vampire Knight, the stronger version of the vampire. Has a larger amount of HP and pretty much can do what vampires do best...Spammal! Also they can hit pretty hard. Again same tactic took these blood sucker out. (Still weak compared to Remilia Scarlet)

(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9868/picture6r.png)
A few vampires later and Patchouli confronted a vampire mage. Pretty much the magic casting version of the vampire, usually carries bolts of fire, ice, and can spammal as well. Again...easy pickings even to Patchouli.

(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8243/picture7wkg.png)
And so after exterminated about 6 -10 vampires later, Patchouli reached the inner champer of the vampire den. Looked like there were lots of interesting trueasure there...but would it be worth it?

Patchy found a few scrolls including a scroll of weapon enchantment 3, remove curse, a cure mutation potion, ect. And she also found a ring that she tried on and identified....

And it turned out to be....
(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/3191/picture8xdb.png)

Not all that great... didn't have many benifical properties so she dumped it.

Patchouli then returned to the 4th floor to began exploring the area and she ran into a yaktuar (or as I like to call them.... "Yaktards"
(http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/2674/picture10q.png)

Yaktards are the bigger badder cusion of the Centuar. They are almost always armed with a crossbow and shoot bolts at you the moment they notice you. In most cases it's generally smarter to get into close range because they are apperently are bad at close range combat. This applies to Patchouli as well sometime as a when a bolt strikes her she looses a good portion of her health.

Just be thankful she's not fighting them in groups at the moment or this would of been far worse...

But upon defeating him, Patchouli leveled up to level 18!!
(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7546/picture12p.png)

Upon further exploration Patchouli confronted a flayed ghost.... These guys aren't much, but a melee fighting zombie goasts and aren't immune to ice which makes them easy pickings for Patchouli.
(http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/5011/picture13u.png)

Patchoul then traveled forward and came up to this strange structure. When she entered it she found a Xom and Owakuwa alter. Nothing all that great except on the other size was a Shadow Dragon!

And it took notice of Patchouli and went around the building strcuture to fight her...

Shadow Dragons are very natorious creatures that can breath out negative energy from thier mouth and drain you. They can be very troublesome and are quite tough compare to other dragons. Life protection and Ward are a must to minimize draining.

Sadly the dragon go in the room and started breathing negative energy all over her....

She was demoted to level 17 ;_;

She had no choice but to teleport and run.

After recovering she decided to return to deal with the shadow dragon but when she return it there was only a plain dragon.
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4737/picture14url.png)

Could it be this was a shapeshifter? Who know? Eitherway Patchouli took care of the dragon and returned to the area where she teleported from.
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5345/picture16j.png)
When she got there she ran into a Yaktard Captain. The bigger badder version of the yaktard. Far stronger and more dangerous compared to the yaktaur, but can be despoed the same way, but may take a little longer.
(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/149/picture17.png)
And then Patchouli confronted the Sphinx. A terrifying beast that is known for it's powerful enchantment spells which can range from slowing you down, confusion to even healing itself when it gets weak. While tough, overall it wasn't an overall threat, in the end Patchouli returned to level 18...

Patchouli then  proceeded down to the 5th floor of the vault, but it seemed things only go worse...
(http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/6233/picture18t.png)

She confronted Skeletal Warriors along with rock trolls and spiny worms (what a combo).

Skeleton warriors and strong fighters who are good at melee but are vunerable to fire. And at the same time they can revive killed enemies and make them into zombies if given the chance to...

Patchouli had to restore to mystic blast to take out the sketeton warriors and bolts of ices among the other creatures....

Patchouli also came across an amulet which was the amulet of clairty.
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3954/picture19e.png)

Basiclly it serves as your anti-confusion item. Useful in it's own terms if you ask me.

And then patchouli found a strange ring, could it be better off than the other ring?
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/5144/picture20k.png)

She IDed it and...
(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5043/picture21ddx.png)

Well at least it doesn't have much of a negative downfall might be useful, but then again, who knows. She kept it anways...
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3640/picture22hvr.png)

After a long an intense battle against tons of creatures and hiding, Patchy had to rest...

Stopping at turn 85000 (which is just over 5000 turns)

This concludes my run for now.

It's Ramus's turn.

And sign me up again!

File will be coming shortly.

I start off where Totaku ended, namely, Patchouli was hungry again (geez, Totaku, you need to feed the poor thing more often) and encumbered with treasure, which is natural as we're going through the Vaults.  One pit stop at the hive later and Patch is about a 100 aums (however much that is) lighter.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/131.png)

Spiny Worm, coated in acid and resistant to physical abuse.  Five pot shots and 20 MP later, all is good.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/132.png)

On the top, you see one giant slug.  Exactly What It Says On The Tin.  Then a Yaktuar, and a Yaktuar Captain with the red shirt.  They shoot bolts.  Bolts hurt.  Patch is in the open (cause I saw a few scrolls lying about there that I wanted to get).

I read a scroll of teleporation and defend the best I can, namely putting on the repel missiles enchantment.

Patch gets half her HP taken off in a single hit.  Three more hits from more Yaktuars that come from off screen and she's dead.  -___-


Sign me up again.  And whoever goes after me, AVOID THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE VAULTS!  You'll be in the Yaktuar shooting gallery.

OK Ramus it's my go and it turned out this run was rather......slow....barely anything happened until near the end though it was intense, not much occured....

To begin, Patchouli went out of the vaults and took her collection of goods back to the hive where she stashed them...
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5467/picture1nrh.png)

She then head back to the Vaults and continued to explore, found a guggly brown potion, turned out to be a mimic so she killed it...

She also ended up confronting the Shadow Dragon that she thought didn't exsit. She was force to use a potion of haste to ensure she wouldn't suffer too much from the effects of draining. And luckly the dragon was slayed...

Next, she returned to floor 5 where she ended up going through a rather intense battle on the floor, she had to combat against yaktards, centards, slime creatures, rock trolls, and many undead things. She had to end up using two of her potions of healing wounds just so she could survive the battles.

Along the way she found some things:
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4457/picture2tps.png)

Acient Blue Dragon armor, looks tempting doesn't it?

In reality though it's just another case it being actually a mimic. ;_;

(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1742/picture3xrc.png)

Also found a book while there. Not many of the spells are going to be useful except haste.

(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6545/picture4pyt.png)

PROTIP: When combating tons of Yaktards and Centards in a group. It's always smart to gas them. Mephtic Cloud is your friend. use it well. It makes life eaiser.

And then after a long an intense battle on the 5th floor Patchouli reached the 6th floor! Where we reach the highlight of the day! The stairway to the Hall of Blades!

The Hall of Blade is pretty much like what it say. Your going to find lots of weapons there. Of all different shape and sizes! All for you to check out. And the weapons are so willing to let you try them out, they'll give you a hands on demonstation of thier capabilities.

So in otherwords...Watch out for those weapons, they be a bit dangerous down there.

This is where Patchy's quest end for now.

Here's the file for you Ramus.

Also sign me up again.

So Patch starts off hungry (AGAIN! Darn it Totaku!  You need to feed our child!).  So before entering the hall of blades, Patch goes off searching for food.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/133.png)

:toot:

Later, Patch eats some holy orcish meat.  Them priests don't taste so good.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/134.png)

Welcome to the Hall of Blades.  Our first enemy?  A trident, subclass of polearms, with no blade attached.  One shot and it's down.  Uncursed trident of reaching, not needed.

Did I mention, everything drops from a single shot of Iskenderun's Mystic Blast.  For now on, I'll refer to it as just mystic blast.  Elven long sword of slicing.  Vorpalized, nice.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/135.png)

Teleporation trap sticks me in the center of the main hall.  Let's get blasting.  Electrical short sword, eh, I'll carry it for now.  What Patch really needs is a light weapon of distortion to escape the Panda Land and such.

LEVEL UP!  #19
HP 76
MP 43

God gift, hello.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/136.png)

Patch can't read it!  It's beyond her punny mind to comprehend!  So yeah, it has to be kickass.

I've nearly cleared out the entire hall AND NOT A SINGLE WEAPON OF DISTORTION.  However, I've gotten a short sword of holy wrath and another charged with electricity.  Eh, done with the main hall.  The haul was okay.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/137.png)

OH CRUD OH CRUD OH CRUD

Second most power independently wandering unique in the game, Xtahua.  Of course, I

always have theme music to go along with major battles. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hpKLqP2E3A&feature=PlayList&p=70F8ADE443A915A7&index=109)

Okay, first thing, Xtahua has fire, lots of fire.  So I put on all the fire resistance Patch has, namely all three levels.  However, even with this, the fireballs are still blunt damage, so Patch will be likely taking a heavy hit before this is over.  Patch has a single potion of heal wounds, so she can't afford to be hit too much.  The dragon is also immune to poison, so the cloud of confusion will not work, and stick flames will have little to no effect.  What I do have is ice armor and ice bolt, to increase AC and do major damage.

Xtahua:  YOU BORE ME SO.
Xtahua:  MUST YOU MORTALS FIGHT BACK?
Xtahua:  FOOL.

After being blasted a few times, she's dead.  Victory to Patch!

Regardless, not a single weapon of distortion.  I'm disappointed.

Floor 6 cleared with ease.

GOD GIFT!  And this time we can read it!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/138.png)

Necromancy.  I'm also 500 turns over limit without noticing it.  Please forgive me!  ;_;
Regardless, Hall of Blades, got some nice things, but eh.


Regardless, DO NOT sign me back up, I'm leaving for another three to four weeks.  I should still be able to do the arena updating once a day and the DnD sessions, but not this.

Post by: Totaku on June 30, 2009, 08:36:10 PM
Ok Ramus has ask me to post the file since he said he'd take one more turn before leaving.

(http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/3851/picture1jfo.png)
Patchouli's adventure continues through the vaults as she begins to tackle all the creatures lurking in the area.

Pretty much she confronted all sorts of creatures here starting with the stone giant.
(http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/4332/picture2ztj.png)

Stone Giants are quite hefty brutes. Great attack power and love chucking boulders into your face. In fact, Patchouli nearly got crushed by the giant's boulders on her own. As it wiped out half her health in a single throw.

Other than their deadly thowing, they also are quite dangerous to fight up close to them. Patchy would likely get flatten by these guys, Patchy had to actually sticky flame and blink away from him several time just to ensure her survival until she successfully got far away enough to recharge and blast the meanacing giant.
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2411/picture3xxn.png)

And them she faced a frost giant. Also a powerhouse, but with the power of ice. Ice ressitance is a must and keeping away from using it's axe of frost on you.

She then faced an orc Scorcerer. A more dangerous orc mage who pocesses the power to drain you, flame you and even summon demons to aid him in battle. It's important to take him down quickly as possible. He's also has some fire ressitance as well which patchouli had to resort to gasing him and then freezing him.
(http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/479/picture5qei.png)

She then confronts and iron troll. The toughest in the troll family. With a body made of solid iron this guy can withstand alot of damage and hit quite hard. Because of his iron body he is resistant to fire and ice. So patchy had to resort to sticky flaming and then using mystic blast while blinking away till she finished him off...
(http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4846/picture6o.png)

Orc High Priest are quite a nusiance too just like the scorcerer. As they can smite you and call demons to aid them sometimes. Sometime high level ones...

Needless to say this one wasn't bright and just kept coming up to Patchy. So she blasted him with ice. End of story.

(http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/6818/picture7t.png)
Deep Trolls are deep lol. :P Well actually the deep troll are weaker, but what they lack in strength, they make up with thier numbers. They will almost always come in groups. Ranging from 4 or 5 of them.
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/933/picture8a.png)
After fighting so many strange creatures Patchouli raised an undead horde of monsters (consisting of deep trolls and orcs and launched an all out attack on the 7th floor against the Yaktard army.
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2496/picture9zgu.png)
She also ran into an orb of eyes. Never got to see what this thing could do. Ramus says it can paralyze and drain MP I've seen it use a blast of energy before like the eye of destruction. Other than that, don't eat thier meat unless you want to mutate.

It wasn't long before Patchouli conqured the 7th floor of the Vaults. But before diving into the most dangerous area of the vault, Patchouli was going to take care of another area....

(http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/600/picture10e.png)

The Crypt!

A land of the undead. Filled with alomst everything being dead. Meaning food will be a problem here. But PAtchouli was stocked with her supplies so she should be able to handle the situation.

She did have to face a number of skeletons at the get go. But nothing a few flames couldn't take care of. :P

She eventually found an Effreet in the bottle. Would it be her friend?
(http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2350/picture12pic.png)

NO!!!

He turned out to be hostile. And began to attack patchouli. Efreets are powerful fire users and always weild a weapon with flaming capabilities.

Needless to say PAtchouli just applied ice on it's forehead and he froze into nothingness after two blast of ice. Now Patchouli has a scamitar of Flaming.

As Ramus describes the situation with Efreets and crawl...

Ramus: Mokou only likes Suika.  >_<

lol.
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/1199/picture13r.png)
Patchouli reached the second floor where she found the entrance to the tomb. A land where only mummies dwell, meaning lots and lots of curses...Steer clear unless your properly prepared or skilled at summoning.

Then while I was battling a skeleton warrior I got this message...
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5808/picture15b.png)

The Power of Zot was used against you? I wonder what happened to trigger that?

Haven't seen a zot trap in a while either but who know?
(http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4359/picture16c.png)

Regardless after eleminating mr. Skeleton.. Patchouli reached LEVEL 20!

This was however where things got bad....

While PAtchouli was resting she was ambused by a vampire mage who got summon happy and invited some undead friends along to cause trouble. Patchouli was not prepared to fight and was force to retreat. She got beaten bad by some skelton warriors who interfered and somehow got demoted to level 19. ;_;

She was fortunate enough to escape, but just bearly....
(http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/8025/picture19g.png)

She returned back to the vaults where it was safe and rested up while replenishing her magic...

To be continued?

Back again in the same day.  Let's make this a good one before I go off for another three weeks (or even four).

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/139.png)

Leaving behind:  Wand of draining (it doesn't work too well against the dead), scimitar of fire (Patch isn't melee), Staff of Energy (heavy and Patch has sustenance ring and food), wand of slowing and frost cause they don't work too well against dead stuff.

Mottled Dragon Hide snatch.  Leaving that behind since we don't have any enchant armor scrolls right now.

Back to level 20!

Nothing much on floor 2 of the Crypt.  To floor 3!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/140.png)

If that doesn't call for a scroll of magic mapping, I don't know what does.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/141.png)

>_O

MOVE FASTER PATCHY FASTER

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/142.png)

OH THANK GOODNESS, FOUND IT!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/143.png)

Welcome to the Labyrinth. It can be summed up as one very annoying maze with treasure in the center.  Time to start exploring.  I've got 4000 turns to clear this place and I'm good with mazes, so lets go.

About the Labyrinth:
1.  It only appears in the lower half of the dungeon and picks random places to show up at.
2.  Your character does not map any of the Labyrinth out, so you're constantly in the dark unless you do this Etrian Odyssey style and draw a map.
3.  How can this be made any worse?  Well, there's no enemies aside from the Minotuar at the exit, meaning that, yes, it's one big walk between walls.
4.  No digging allowed.
5.  No magic mapping allowed.
6.  Teleporation moves you AWAY from the exit.
7.  Shooting lightning in here has a good chance of hurting you.  BAD.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/144.png)

The metal wall is the second layer in, means I'm getting closer.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/145.png)

Hello big muscly guy that can tear me apart in a few hits, care for a cup of tea?  No?  THEN EAT STICKY FLAMES!  Also, it literally took me well over a 1000 turns to find this place.  The Labyrinth is one big huge pain with awesome rewards.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/146.png)

<3

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/147.png)

Patch's main weapon now.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/148.png)

Nice.
Staff of Power, nice, but we don't need it.
Staff of Fire, AWESOME.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/149.png)

The book of power.  Also, some unidentified amulet, with a scroll, I find out its a amulet of conservation, eh, I'll take it.  Also, it has a spare use, so I use it on the only other thing that isn't identified, the book that we can not comprehend.  BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY.  Wow, time to start upping summoning powers, this will be great for the tomb.

Back in the Crypt and this staff of fire is AWESOME.  Everything dies when I shoot it with fire.

FRICK NO!  NO! NO! NO!

Zot Trap.  ;_;  Patch can't survive three Executioners...
Well, hope you guys enjoyed that.  -___-


Lastly, don't leave Totaku playing this alone please.  I had to do that once before on the old forums and it was a pain.  Just give it a shot and play as either Patch or Suika.  The guys on #touhou @ dejatoons.net will be happy to help you through your run if you think you need assistance.

One pit stop at the hive later and Patch is about a 100 aums (however much that is) lighter.

Ok I did my run again. XD

In this episode of Patchouli and the Vaults, Patchouli returns down into the dungeon once more to fight off the undead fully prepared for battle.

She takes off a few items and begins her adventure.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7088/picture1jzl.png)

After taking care of the skeletons and vampires that bullied her last time, PAtchouli went down to the 3rd floor. Where she ran into a Necromancer with his gang of undead minions.

PROTIP: In the Crypt Necromancers are your only meat you can chop up an eat (that if if they leave a body). And they're hard to come by which is why I once again strongly urge you to come with food ready.

Regardless thoughm the necromancer and his minions were exterminated easily and Patchouli pressed onward....
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8342/picture2sil.png)

She then battled a rotting hulk, an ugly creature who is simalar to a necrophange or ghoul I guess. Just don't let it touch you or you might rot.
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7866/picture3vrz.png)
When PAtchouli reached the forth floor, she confronted a unique named Frederick. A fancy dressed man who weilds powerful magic.

Little to her surprise though after sticky flaming Fred, he turn invisible and made PAtchouli's battle difficult.

She had to blindly cast spells based on his location and was lucky to hit him. It wasn't till he blasted PAtchouli with a mystic blast that she was wounded badly! She was fortunate enough to take out Frederick before he could deliver the final blow.

(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8987/picture4xph.png)

This ugly fellow here is the ghoul. Nasty undead creature who can weild weapons and can rot you if you melee him. Simply kill it with fire and your problems are solved.

PAtchouli's adventure was pretty easy going on the most part to be honest, very little problems occured thourgh at one point she confronted a cursed skull.
(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5571/picture5bxo.png)

The cursed skull is a very evil creature. It's completely immune to every element making it impossible hurt it with fire, ice, electricity and poison. The good part is they don't move at all. The bad part is upon noticing you they can sometimes attack you with rather painful attacks.


They can release the powers of hell and perform devistating damage upon your health ripping it in half.

And the can also call undead minions to protect it. Fortunatly though, the skull remained immoble and did nothing the whole time making it so Patchouli could just mystic blast it to death. (talk about lucky.)

At one point she found an identify scroll and used it to ID her books she couldn't understand. She was allowed to ID both her books and as a result she founded out she had two very powerful books
(http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2792/picture6b.png)

The Necronomicon! A powerful book used by Necromancers. Posesses the ultimate death spells in it including symbol of tourment, Death's Door and Death Channel.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5940/picture7mfa.png)

The Book of Demonlogy! A powerful book of summoning. This will allow you to summon the most powerful of demons to aid you in battle including greater demons and possibly even fiends!

As Patchouli continued t explore she confronted a Skeletal Dragon.
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4061/picture8jxk.png)

Skeletal Dragons have a boat load of HP and are rather tough, they are immune to most forms of magic. So Patchouli had to resort to sticky flaming and mystic blasting while blinking away to slowly beat down the dragon will it began to fell in terror which then became easily slain.

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8228/picture9x.png)
Patchouli finally reached the bottom floor of the Crypt. What trouble could lurk in this water place?

Upon reaching the front gate she was met by two skeleton warriors and then confronted following the, two iron golems.
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9462/picture10qgo.png)

Iron Golems are rather tough creatures who can withstand elements thus forcing Patchouli to use mystic blast to take them on. And it take a while so she had to blast, blink, and recharge until she could defeat them.
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9615/picture11x.png/)

As she opened the second gate, she was met by tons of skelton warriors and a necromancer mixed among the rest of the undead. Lucky most were asleep so she managed to lure 2 skeleton warriors down and burniate them.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3686/picture12a.png)
Afterward Patchouli was exhuasted and needed a brake.... course there were fountains near her with sparkling water...should she drink from it?

Who knows, but for now my turn is over.

Here's the file for who ever is next.

To make sure we have more space to load it via attachment. I was told to remove the title bmps. (since they're not likely to be used.)

Everything else will still be there.

I heard Pancakes will take this run. But if he doesn't I'll run through another go after I'm informed or after a few days have passed.

<The_Astral_HAMcake>   You want to do commentary?
   <Totaku>   I suppose, I'm never done much commentary before
   <Totaku>   But I'll try to get myself ready
   <Totaku>   Just let me know when you get started
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   So where am I supposed to put the files again?
   <Totaku>   If I do this right I'll be quite talkative through the commentary. :P
   <Totaku>   Suika files have to go into the saves folder
   <Totaku>   The bones files go in the saves too
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Ready~
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   So it's time to get the rune, slaughter the nagas and get lootz
   <Totaku>   Did you put the player file in the tites folder?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Shit
   <Totaku>   Ah, have we started already?
   <Totaku>   Ok well as we know Suika's is currently located in bottom of the snake pits combating the evil naga that rule the bottom
   <Totaku>   All just to obtain the ultimate prize
   <Totaku>   The Serpintine Rune of Zot
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   In other words, Xan and Ramus aren't HOT BLOODED enough to get the damn rune
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Let's get this over with
   <Totaku>   Hahahaha well put
   <Totaku>   Let's see how Suika handles the naga
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   What are you doing with all of these wands anyways?
   <Totaku>   What's is the current status on our oni right now
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   TOO MANY FUCKING WANDS AND WEAPONS
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   WHO THE HELL NEEDS WANDS OF CONFUSION WHEN THEY'RE GETTING THE RUNES?
   <Totaku>   I suppose they have ti be over prepared to fight these snakes
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   THE ONLY ENEMIES WORTH USING THEM ON HAVE HIGH MAGIC RESISTANCE
   <Totaku>   That's interesting to know
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Anyways, I'm going to dump them
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Unidentified wand
   <Totaku>   Fine with me
   <Totaku>   Though I would make sure to get them back after you get the rune
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I'm sure I will
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   And the wand shorted out after one test
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   So I'm guessing it's a wand of healing
   <Totaku>   As I see it everything is important when trying travel down this evil dungeon
   <Totaku>   I gues
   <Totaku>   *guess
   <Totaku>   So yeah dump it and come back for it later
   <Totaku>   So how is the naga battles going on at the moment
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I hate Guardian Naga
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   They teleport you too much
   <Totaku>   If I recall Ramus said the Naga warriors and Greater Nagas were the biggest threat
   <Totaku>   Ah the gaurdians, how we hate them so....
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Usually by the time I get here, everything plinks off of my armour
   <Totaku>   Sounds like you must come by much later
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I usually do the Vaults first
   <Totaku>   Greater Nagas are usually troublesome in some way
   <Totaku>   Depending on the spells they use and all
   <Totaku>   Plus poisonus loogies!
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Shoppe~
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Everything sucks though
   <Totaku>   We can never have fun without having the snake citizens spits in our faces
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Hey, is this the amulet of Cekugob?
   <Totaku>   It's like a custom ritual of some sort
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Yep, it is
   <Totaku>   Huh? What kind of amulet is that?
   <Totaku>   The Cekugob Amulet
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Amulet of Warding +1 AC, +1 EV, Elec resist, Poison resist, Neg Ener Resist, Tele Resist, and speeds up metabolism
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Hey look, Nagas
   <Totaku>   Wow that's a pretty awesome combonation right there!
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Lots of them
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Let's kill them
   <Totaku>   Oh you taking pictures?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Yep
   <Totaku>   Hopfully this will look awesome
   <Totaku>   How many are you battleing at the moment?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Anyways, I'm going to do it the easy way
   <Totaku>   Hahaha ok
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   STAIRDANCE
   <Totaku>   But anyways by the way it sounds that Cekugob Amulet sounds perfect for a trip through Tarturus assuming Suika goes to hell
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   As you can see, due to the wacky stair time continuum in Crawl, leading enemies up stairs is fun
   <Totaku>   yeah they always love to follow you when they go up the stairs next to you. :P
   <Totaku>   Makes it easy to fight only a few at a time
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Killed 'em all
   <Totaku>   Instead of the whole lot
   <Totaku>   Good going!
   <Totaku>   Now let's continue the exploration!
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Okay, now to get the ones inside the Vault
   <Totaku>   Wait
   <Totaku>   You killed all the nagas?!
   <Totaku>   Already?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   All the ones near the entrance
   <Totaku>   Ah I see
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   And I know a great way to prevent enemies from teleporting us
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   The amulet prevents teleportation so it cancels the sequence
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Also a naga warrior hit a snake with his spit
   <Totaku>   Makes Nagas Gaurdians very wimpy with prevent tele.
   <Totaku>   lol did it die?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Well that was quick
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   A Greater Naga jumped me and I died
   <Totaku>   Ouch!
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I don't think you guys should do the Snake Pit yet
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   28 AC isn't high enough
   <Totaku>   Ramus warned us about the Greater Nagas
   <Totaku>   You should of invovked your Str boost or something
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I did
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   The problem is that we have wimpy AC
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   And weapons
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I think we should try and clear out some of the Vaults to get to the Hall of Blades
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Then we can get some stuff that doesn't suck
   <Totaku>   That seems a bit dangerous is you ask me
   <Totaku>   Considering Suika's level at the moment
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Hey, I do it at level 12
   <Totaku>   Those weapons would likely slaughter he if Greater Nagas could kill her with ease
   <Totaku>   Maybe the Swamps is a better choice
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Swamps is way better at this point
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Also the weapons aren't that bad
   <Totaku>   Assuming Suika has a flaming blade weapon
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   She has a flaming scimitar
   <Totaku>   Or just a blunt weapon
   <Totaku>   Perfect
   <Totaku>   I guess we'll consider hacking hydras heads next time
   <Totaku>   I guess this concludes our commentary
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   I'm not going to bother to post screenshots
   <Totaku>   This is Totaku wishing you all for most crazy adventure in Dungeon Crawlling!
   <Totaku>   Huh why?
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   Too short of an update
   <Totaku>   Aww. ;_;
   <Totaku>   You should at least post something about the Amulet
   <The_Astral_HAMcake>   And this is The Astral HAAAAAAAMcake asking you guys to not be stupid and try to do the Snake Pit at our level.
<Totaku>   Ok now I shall prepare for my Patchouli run
   <Totaku>   heheheh
<The_Astral_HAMcake>      Have fun dying

Seriously, drop the Snake Pits for now and do the Swamps.

Aw crap, this didn't go well, but here I go!
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9146/picture1zad.png)

In today's Episode of Patchouli vs. the Crypts, Patchouli tries to step into the fortress to battle again the undead that dwell inside. Will she handle it?

She battled through the hordes of the undead that stood before her. Taking them out slowly and carefully.

She eventally met up with a new creature. the Crystal Golem.
(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8084/picture2l.png)

Crystal Golems are bright and shiny, and are about as bright as a iron golem... Basiclly they just charge at you. And do to thier chunky body size, they move rather sloooow. Course being made of crystal make them completly immune to most elements, so Patchy had to resort to mystic blast to take it out.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1736/picture3nap.png)

Several undead and dancing weapons later, Patchouli found a tureausre room! Seems some nice goodies were here I wonder what they could be?

Other than the potions of healing and meat she also found a ring which turned out to be cursed, but when she identified it...
(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/7214/picture4t.png)
The ring of Regeneration! This ring is rather useful when one wanted to regain thier health faster, but at a small price....it will also speed your motabolism a little bit as long as you wear it...

A worthwhile ring, but she couldn't take it with her so she had to leave it for now.

Now unfortunately while she was fairing out well on the most part her big problem came when she confronted a Crystal Golem while low of magic, she retreated continuously, and used Mima's power to recharge. But it caused one major problem....
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4254/picture5wjh.png)
When she nearly killed it she was at the point of starving making her unable to cast magic and when she was about to eat something....she was ambusing by a dancing flail! She tried to teleport with her wand....but it was too late....

Rest in peace Patchouli...

This conclude my turn.

The sword that cleaves evil, it's your turn! pick either to use PAtchouli or Suika and drop by IRC for our help if needed.

Also sign me up again.

Right, I'd be willing to give Suika or maybe Sakuya a shot, but it'll have to wait until Sunday at the earliest, and more likely Monday or Tuesday night.  Work is not being so nice.  Also, what exactly is the IRC channel?  Keep in mind that I have just about NO proficiency with using IRC whatsoever.

EDIT: and keep in mind I really haven't played a lot of Crawl so don't expect much

Sure I'll set you up on or near Sunday so that you can make your run. You'll have three days then to do your run and post your outcome from the run. :P

Also as for the irc channel:

Connection: irc.dejatoons.net
Channel: #touhou

Uh, I've been having trouble logging in to the IRC server, it tells me that the hostname couldn't be found, and just in case, I tested irc.dejatoons.net but I got a rather funny permaban.
Halp?

I believe mibbit client is perma-banned on dejatoons. If you don't mind putting up with mIRC, I can show you how to reset the registration countdown. Otherwise use chatzilla (Firefox add-on) or something else.

Post by: Zengar Zombolt on July 02, 2009, 12:55:35 PM
Don't worry, I already made my run. I'll see what to do for my next run.
Speaking of runs, Mine starts with Suika on the first floor of the Snake Pit, but I'm reminded that Suika had died twice already here, so it's time to return to the Lair.

Totaku reminds me that Ramus' Lair run stopped right where I standed (Floor 2 of the Lair), so it was time to explore some more. So, I begin to lurk around, murdering everything on sight (Even in situations where common sense would tell you to run).

Eventually, I went into this room, thinking that it would have some nice loot.
WRONG
it was a room filled with Oozes, Jellies and an Oklob plant. And I mean Filled. So we run back from the passage where I came from, and thanks to a bolt trap, it all suddenly became a Conga Line.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Dotheconga.png)

After delivering some Oni-induced justice and retreating (We still can't face that Oklob plant), it's time to move on. Yet, on the next floor I got a nice welcome...
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Kekekeke.png)
Nothing a little stairdancing can't fix.

After advancing some more (And facing that exact same situation twice), I find the entrance to another branch, the Swamp!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Swamp.png)
Yet there's still more to explore in the Lair, so We'll keep exploring here for now.But on our way back...

ZOT TRAP TIME
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Zot.png)
Luckily it only casted a poison cloud, nothing we can't shrug off.

Thus, the adventures of Suika continue as we find a small room filled with Blink Frogs. The funny part? A turn later, Half the frogs are gone! It's like a trap house without the trap part (Sadly I did not screenshot that part).

Eventually, we find a potion shop!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Getyerboozeon.png)
The item list looks pretty lame-
OH WAIT
IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/OHHEY.png)
WHY YES, IT IS
Finally a potion of cure mutation! That shall protect us in case of someone getting mutated by a random potion.

After some more exploring, Okawaru decides to give us a prize for our devotion. Yep, it's God Gift time!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Goddamnit.png)
GOD DAMN IT
I mean, look at the weight of this thing! It's not even that good either. Dropping. (7th floor in case someone should need it)

The exploring continues, and after skipping a couple of books we find a Bottled Efreet! Since we could be attacked by it, and we don't have any fire protection, we'll hold on it for now.

Next floor, a Weapon shop.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Moarshoppe.png)
Skipping~

Ok, so now we're on the 8th floor, and it seems to be rather small. BUT
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/ENTERTHELAIR.png)
It could be ANYTHING.
I open it, hoping for the best, and HOLY SHIT
Remember that Oklob plant we found a while ago?
Inside this room there are THREE.
And they're blocking the THREE stairs to the 9th floor. (LOL 9)
So sense tells us it's time to start exploring the Swamp!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Glugglug.png)
I already hate this place.

Some time, on the same floor...
It's Louise, the Unique Spellcaster!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/EnterLouise.png)
Suika had to deal with Stone Arrows and Poison missiles (Name of the spell?), and Louise even became invisible! Sense would tell us to run, but no! We're Suika, the Mountain Dwarf! We can't fall like this! Eventually, Badass Suika found Louise and killed her, all while not knowing where the enemy was. Her equipment...
An orcish scimitar
A splint mail
And a large shield
... What you would expect from a fighter, not a Spellcaster.

After some more Swamp exploring, and passing on an useless armor shop, We're surrounded by Insubstantial Wisps.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/canthitshit.png)
The problem wasn't that we were surrounded.
The problem is that the wisps are hard to hit, and can even blink. So after 200+ turns of fighting them, we survived, and continued on.

A couple of floors deeper...
OH, HEY
LOOKIE
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/RAWR.png)
I'll take it, since the Holy Wrath will be useful on later branches.

After another while, and having to blink out of a Hydra ambush, my turn ended.
So pointers! To whoever takes Suika, There's a mass concentration of Hydras and Swamp Dragons on the next floor, Beware of them.
Also, there's that Mail I dropped on the Lair. Be sure of taking it if necessary.
Oh, and sign me up again.
so, until next time.
RIP AND TEAR!
Oh, also thanks to Totaku for guiding me through this run.

Post by: Totaku on July 02, 2009, 05:03:35 PM
No problem Sword that cleaves evil. You did very well considering this is your first run.

Anyways, it's time for me to perform my run with Patchouli. Well it turned out that this time things turned out better, but let's begin shall we?
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6119/picture1fwy.png)
As our adventure left, off Patchouli was considering to continue her run through the fortress once again.
 But she realized she was rather over stocked in her invetory so she decided to turn around and return to the hive....
(http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7953/picture2iwx.png)
At the hive she dropped some of her invetory off there that she wouldn't belive she would need for this battle....

A few swords, a few rings, and drops a few potion, books and scrolls in the process and collected some honey combs in the process before she returned to the Crypt to tackle the fortress of the undead....
(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2143/picture3tvk.png)
As usual, Patchouli used her magic to plower through the undead and necromancers that roamed in there and got to the first small tureasure room.

She also found a dagger of draining in the process...
(http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/8451/picture4xjc.png)
While fighting vampires isn't at unusal, what was odd about the fight was that something was behind the vampire that was out of view...

A mummy.....

As a result, I burned the mummy to death and the +5 ring of intellegence was cursed.... (guess now's a good time to out on the ring of regeneration and remove the curse...

Patchouli then went to the other side and found another room full of goodies.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9558/picture5ogy.png)

Some gold an ID scroll, a healing potion, a ring of magic resistance and a rob of enchantment.

As she continued to slay the undead she found another room with some bread.

Now Patchouli confronts a differnt kind of enemy....The Hell Knight

Hell Knights are strong beings who use the power of fire and certain enchantments to aid them in battle. They can launch bolts of fire, use haste, even blink when in danger. They're also very resistant to fire, but they are vunerable to ice though.

Pretty easy to beat down actually. Also they usually carry special weapons, mostly demon type weapons, but they also can carry weapons that special enchantments to them so they can be worth looking through after you kill them.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/i/picture8blg.png/)

Patchouli found a door but it ended up leading to nothing but a body of deep water... who the heck designs these dungeons anyways?
(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/613/picture9jnr.png)
Now here's where things get difficult.

Patchouli confronted a Lich. Liches are basiclly evil undead necromancer pocessing powerful and deadly magic. They can do spells ranging from firing bolts of draining, bolts of cold, haste, pain, summon minor and major demons. It can get especially ugly if the summon Feinds, the worse type of demon on can face in the game in most cases.

The good part is though, they are vunerable to fire making life a little easier, however Patchouli wasn't quite prepared when it sommoned a Fiend or two so she retreated...

Oh did I forget to mention I turned enchatment back on for a reason? It's because I had Patchouli practice on a spell. She ended up learning haste.

Haste does exactly as it says, doubles your speed and makes you quite fast especialy at against the monsters. It may slightly contaminate you though, but not to the point that it makes you glow heavly, but try to only use haste when absolutly needed. Cause if you do abuse it too much it could make you glow and if that happens...well you don't want to know. :P

Her spellcasting was up to 22.
Her Enchantment was 5 and with her rod of wizardry, she had a great success rate of using that spell. So she hasted herself to combat the lich.

The lich continued to summon some demons, but they were more minor ones....

A Cacodemon in paticular. They're not that tough. But they can summons imps and the like and if given a chance can mutate you. Either way the demons and the lich were exterminated and Patchy pressed onward.

She fought off another lich and after defeating him....Level up!!!
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3523/picture11fah.png)

Patchy's now level 21, she boosted her intellegence once more.... and then continued onward her undead slaying.
(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/8983/picture12.png)
Patchy found a hidden door leading to more goodies, the sword looked interesting, but she pick it up later.

Could there be one on the otherside?
(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6757/picture13.png)
Why Yes!

Though the weapons didn't look as interesting though...

While Patchouli continued to burn the undead she heard a voice....

"You've done well my pupil, take this with you"

At Patchouli's feet was a book. What could it be?

It was a book of the clouds. It's sort of ok, but debatable. Basicly is uses all the cloud type spells from evaportate to freezing clouds. Not much can be said, but it's not exactly bad either. She decides to take the book....
(http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9758/picture16w.png)

Patchouli then confronted a new and powerful enemy....The Acient Lich. These guys are alot stronger than the regular lich and are far more dangerous. They can do most types of mid to high rank spells including spells like crystal spear, Summon greater demons and the like. Thier magic can hurt badly so take extreme caution! And to top it off they're immune to most forms of magic especially ice and poison. Patchouli had to sticky flame and then bolt of fire and  mystic blast. Because of the duration of the battle she had to retreat. recover her MP, rehaste and then fight the acient lich the rest of the way.

put it simply, she got a whopping 10000 Experience for killing the thing (so worth it!)

Patch went back to grab the Falchion. And put it on. It turned out that it seemed pretty useful.
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/1081/picture17ler.png)

Heck if we train her magic well enough the hell's won't be nearly as painful when we get to that point. But that's much later on... also it's +2 +4
(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2952/picture18u.png)
Whao! What's he doing here? I hope he's a leftover from the Acient Lich's summons. This big guy is the Green Death. Basiclly he's a demon with a terrible gas problem. He loved to blast bolts of poison at you and release stinky poisonous gas. And he also like to summon demon buddies to aid him as well. Overall not quite as dangerous if you have poison protection, but not to be taken lightly either.

(http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1669/picture19m.png)

At last after taking out many undead creature, Patchouli made it to the vault of the Crypt. Lots of gold was at the entrance. What could be waiting behind the door?

Basiclly more goods! a few potions, some gold, a ring and book. I wonder what they could be?
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2751/picture20p.png)

Mmm a young prisoner's hand book. Good for using poison attacks, but not exactly good at this point of the game.... next!

Other than she found a smoking whip that turned out to be a whip of Fear.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/161/picture21a.png)

Looks like with this thing it could make flaming hell a little easier, might as well take it with me.

After all that mess Patchouli had to call it a day.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9383/picture22ino.png)
I stopped at around or just at 6000 turns. I'm sorry for dragging it out but those liches are a bother and needed to be dealt with....

Anyways... here's some things to know.

At this point I think we should return to the dungeon and explore all the remaining floors that is after we pick up our belongs and place them in the hive or lair for safe keeping.

Patchouli's haste can be a big life saver. It can allow her to escape from serious trouble. And can be quite useful in the abyss.

And finally if your crazy, we can go down to the bottom of the vaults, but I personally thinking it's like asking us to be killed if we go there right now. I don't trust the vault gaurd that gaurd the stairs. <_<....

Anyways, this is it for now.

It should be the sword the cleaves evil's turn now.

And sign me up once again!

OK, it's time for your favorite show, "Death by Suika"!
So last time we were traveling through the Swamp, in search of another Rune of Zot..
Remember that mob that stormed me last time?
So I'm going to GET DANGEROUS and open that Efreet bottle to see what's inside.
AND THE RESULT IS

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Efreet.png)

FUCK. YES.
TIme to murder them bitches.
Oh wait.
HE DIED

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Raped.png)

A near death after, we manage to escape.
Or so I thought.

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/NoRefuge.png)

BLINK TIEM

...
YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/WAT.png)

BLINK AGAIN

After some Running...
Gotcha~

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Dohohohoh.png)

And Leveled up! STR increased.
That was some awesome escaping there.
Back to floor 5!

After god knows how many Hydras, drakes (Lol Drake) and dragons dead...
RUNES HEEEEERE

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/runeGET.png)

Time to scram!

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/webeback.png)

And here ends today's run.
So we have to deliver the rune to floor one, and then, it's Snake pit time!.
PS: Don't sign me up for now. I have Finals to take care of.

Post by: Totaku on July 05, 2009, 05:29:52 AM
Well it's my turn, so let's continue the story...

As it turns out Patchouli had just completed her run in the crypt and decided to take what she gathered back with her to the Hive and lair as she was busy making plans for her next course of action....
(http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/4208/picture1eys.png)

While walking her way back up she weilded her Falchion of Impurium and spotted something....

The creature that had been silently attacking her undetected....

The Unseen Horror....
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8931/picture2rws.png)

Unseen horrors are nasty little boogers that can move very fast and hit hard. And unless you can see invisible. They will remain hidden from view, and thanks to thier bat like movement. They are hard to hit too.

But once you can see them, it's all easy from there...

She eventually reached the hive, dropped off her goods, returned to the Vaults to pick up her other goods and then returned to the lair where she went through her collection of books. She picked up the book of callings and Tumika and learned the following..

Tumika's Dance and Summon Mammals.

(I orginally thought we had call canines, but we don't...so I had to resort to some other spells.)
(http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/3152/picture3h.png)
And so Patchouli went down back to floor 16 where she set off to begin her travel through the deeper parts of the Dungeon....starting at floor 17.
(http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/186/picture4b.png)
It all seemed simple at first Patchouli even ran into a few orcs. Including an Orc Knight, which is a super powered up version of the orc warrior.

Sure she could beat them down with Bolts of flames, but why do it when...
(http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/1746/picture5p.png) Send an army of blades to do the dirty work for her!

This is the wonders of Tumika's Dance at work. You can equip a weapon and it'll be enchanted and fight for you! Course the spell only works for so long so make sure you pick up your weapon after it falls to the ground. Also make sure to not be near deep water either, you'd probably be enraged if you lost a +5 +5 enchanted weapons or something like that. I know I would.

Pretty much Patchy was making a buffet out of everything she came acorss. It seem this was going to be very easy for Patchouli. She could take down skeletons, orcs, and trolls with ease.

Then she can across a Wandering Shroom.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/339/picture6tcc.png)
These guys are somewhat simple, they stand still when you see them and begin to follow you only when your out of thier view and follow you.

Becarful when fighting them, the spores they release can confuse you and hurt you a bit. and if you happen to be near deep water...well....

That's why the dancing blades took care of the shooms for me.
(http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/7154/picture7s.png)

Then Patchouli confronted another wild efreet who was rather unfriendly, but nothing a bolt of cold couldn't take care of...

Sadly though, Patchouli's run came to an end when she confronted a squad of Centards accompanied by a Centard Warrior.

The Warrior Spotted Patchouli and fired, Patchouli was hurt badly, she reached a door and closed it, she used Tukima's dance to make her swords dance again. And sent them against the Centard Warrior.

However the centard warrior was smart and shot past the blade and due to thier swift speed. Patchy got shot twice and recived over 55 damage in total! And thus she reached her demise....
(http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6510/picture8r.png)

Sad part is I fought these guys way too many times in the vaults.... I guess I trusted too much in the blades to do my work... ;_;

Anyways Patchouli died so now it's Theshim's turn.

Go grab the Sword Cleaver's file and come to Touhou board if you want our feedback!

I'm signing up again.

And I want to remind everyone, please come and participate, it's always fun to have more participants.

And I am going to be laughing
me: And that is Nuclear Fusion!
And we bring you EPIC SUIKA FAIL!
captainzevfox: Wait, what? I thought this was crawl!
me: The kind that hasn't been seen since Reimu's second shot type in SA!
And we're playing as Suika!
captainzevfox: ... that shot type isn't so bad
me: ANYWAY!
captainzevfox: Also, Suika in crawl... explain
me: check the crawl topic on the Unlimited Game Works board
one sec
captainzevfox: I'd rather not. Doing this blind is far more amusing
me: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=59.msg37183#msg37183
pictures explain all
captainzevfox: Fine then, I'm looking, I'm looking
me: Fine, can we start now?
captainzevfox: Okay, crawl Suika... who does she worship?
me: Okawaru
Alas, there are no BLOOD AND SOULS FOR MAKHLEB!!
captainzevfox: No Maklheb?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
me: oh hush
captainzevfox: ;_; All is lost, repent!
me: anyway, let's begin where we left off...the snake pits...with a newly acquired rune of ZOT
at just over 39k turns
lair, lair, LAIR
we're GOING to the snake pits
I need a nap
captainzevfox: You already got to the snake pits?
me: we cleaned out part of them
Suika wasn't strong enough to tackle the Greater Nagas
we're coming back...
captainzevfox: No mutations?
me: nope
captainzevfox: ... I want my regular crawl back
me: that's crazy crawl
captainzevfox: That's awesome crawl, you mean
me: where we attack Guardian Nagas for the sole purpose of eating their mutagenic flesh
that is not an intelligent way of playing the game
captainzevfox: But... but... but it's fun? And who said anything about intelligence?
me: random giant slug
dead
captainzevfox: If an FOE shows up, please let me know kthnx
me: argh oglop

Oklop

acip-spitting plant
acid

captainzevfox: I suppose bad spelling is understandable when half the words are made up
me: snake pit!
let's GO!
captainzevfox: Mmmm, critters of leather
me: vast amount of this turn is finding the right damn staircases
captainzevfox: And not getting randomly teleported?
me: that too
captainzevfox: Ahh, good times in the snake pits
me: Young poisoner's handbook
but we're a Suika
we don't do magic
captainzevfox: Suika does not do this magic business. She uses... horns? And physical prowess?
Heck, I can't even see the game, how should I know?
Oy! For anybody who bothers to read this! Who agrees that there should be a chat log thread? Unless it already exists. If it does, point me to it please
me: it's a cuddly little Suika sprite
captainzevfox: And now, back to Suikacrawl
me: she uses maces
check the blasted topic
captainzevfox: NEVER
me: it's in the child folder of the games board
captainzevfox: That would involve effort
Guess work is far more amusing
me: yeah

nagas
captainzevfox: Snakes that are also humans
me: let's go
captainzevfox: Mythology! You make no sense
me: spattered
captainzevfox: Suika the bludgeoner, huh?
me: one of them was all like "INVISIBLE!" and Suika smashed his face in
captainzevfox: Couldn't do anything more creative? Like Suika the Death Sprite? Or how about Suika the Dashingly Daring Mace Wielder
me: Lot of escape hatches this time
captainzevfox: Suika the Invisible Slayer?
me: it's an automatic title
captainzevfox: Well make it less automatic then
me: the game titles you based on what skills you're using
captainzevfox: ... Suika the Skill User
Hey, she's not even a mountai dwarf of Ooe
This game lies
me: augh that's a lot of them

me: Suika the VERY VERY DEAD
;_;
Such is Crawl
captainzevfox: Next time make sure she has a better title, then
What do you expect is going to happen when you name her Suika the very very dead?
me: You're a little hung up on the titles, there
YOU DON'T CHOOSE THE DAMN TITLE

Post by: Totaku on July 06, 2009, 08:05:50 AM
Well this run appears to be full of alot to talk about so brace yourself.

We all know where Patchouli begin....

(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8895/picture1wcn.png)

(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4587/picture2qcv.png)
She dropped her belonging off to the hive and then dropped off her second set of belongs at the Lair where she studied her books of magic and learned Tumika's Dance and Summon mammals.

As of right now these are the spells in her collection:
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4474/picture3qnv.png)

Also it turns out Patchouli recived a mutation likely from the Cacodemon which are capable of mutating adventurers.
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3357/picture4wxa.png)

A slowly deteriorating body can result in your stats slowing dropping occasionally. This of course can be troublesome, but it doesn't happen that often, however, should we consider removing it?
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8273/picture5wmy.png)
Patchouli then went back to to the dungeon and desended to floor 17 at the floor she confronted an Ettin. Think of it as a two headed giant with two weapons, just like the two headed ogre, but more brutal. Course using Patchouli's magic of summoning her swords
She disposed of the creature easily.
(http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/1138/picture6nyb.png)
Patchouli eventually came across a food shop! I wonder what they have for sale?

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6528/picture7mjg.png)
Lots of good bread and meat, that's for sure. Patch will likely come here later on....

Patchouli then confronted a Lindworm and a Wolf Spider..
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4052/picture8dgv.png)
Now the Wolf Spider is of course agressive and poisonous and the lindwurn is stong and powerful with fire. But what was interesting was that when Patchouli was fighting the wolf spider....
(http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/8691/picture9o.png)
The Lindwurm changed into a Giant Snail!

What could this mean? Why it seems Patchouli was battling a shape shifters.

Just as the name suggest, shape shifters change thier forms now and then. Making them either really easy or really hard depending on the form they change into. It's also very rare to confront one in it's true form (unless it's dead) THough there are some rare occasions where you might find one in it's natural form when it's alive. But that's hardly the case....
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1515/picture10mpq.png)
Anyways once you kill a shapeshifter, well just remember eating them may cause mutation results. So eat with caution!

Patchy didn't bother though, so it didn't matter...
(http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/3904/picture11g.png)
Patchouli then reached floor 18.... all seemed quite at first....
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7223/picture12h.png)
Patchy then finds a yak herd and sends her blades to slice up the yaks so that Patchouli could have yak stake for later on...yum yum...
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8435/picture13cdv.png)
What's this? Another shop? It's a General store. I wonder what they got?

(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8290/picture14ubf.png)
Lots of good scrolls that's for sure! Patchy went ahead and bought all the scrolls and the potion of resistance from the store...

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9518/picture15pzm.png)

Eww, what's the hideious purple bump on the ground?! It's a Giant Ameoba actually. These guys are like a slime but I don't recall them having an acid that I know off. I do know they're corpses are edible....if you have a way to endure poison that is...

(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9061/picture16l.png)
Suddenly, a Kobold army attack!! Nothing Patchouli couldn't handle. Her blades did all the work anyways. :P
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8131/picture17u.png)
Patchy eventually found a runed buckler? What could it be? She picks it up, uses the detect curse spell. No curse, she put's it on....

+2 Buckler!

That's seemed to work out really nicely! Now Patchy will have a better chance of blocking hits.

Patchouli whipped out the rest of the floors and took the stairs down to the 19th floor....

Holy Shi--!!!!
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3954/picture19e.png)

Talk about over gaurded! Frogs, slime creatures, Centard Warriors, Very Ugly Things, and a gang of evils all waiting around the entrance....

Could Patchy handle something like this? Not what's she's is at the moment. Too risky!

She fled up stairs as the elves begin to blast thier magic at her.

Just for a quick descriptions:

Deep Elves come in all differnt types. They are all generally strong with magic and can be skilled fighters, but break easily like toothpicks (with an exception of a few)

The Deep Elf Fighters and basic melle and magic users. Mainly have basic magic spells.

Deep Elf Warriors are a stronger version of the fighter, can pocess blinking magic and the like...

Deep Elf conourers can use conjouration magic ranging from early to mid rank spells like throw flame to Bolt of Draining.

Deep Elf Mages contain various spells mostly early to mid rank magic of various types.

Very Ugly things are more powerful versions of the ugly thing and eating thier meat may mutate you...

Patchouly headed a different route and took another flight of stairs where she had an advantage. But she ran into someone else....
(http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2824/picture20.png)
A heavly armed warrior named Frances.

Fances is mainly melee in general. So getting close to her is out of the question. However Patchouli's dancing blades had another thing to say to Frances....

3 blades (Elec, H Wrath, Poison) vs. Frances

Who would win?

Obvious, the blades won, Frances was only able to take out one of them. The rest finished her off.

Patchouli went and exterminated the elves from another angle and looking through their belonging, Patchy found an +2 elven Buckler! This replaced the +2 Buckler.

Why? This would give Patchy an advantage with her magic. The benifit of elven equipment is that is had less hinderance on her magic casting so she could wear an elven ring mail or so and she wouldn't suffer as much of a punishing effect from spellcasting as she would wearing a regular ring mail. So this is a good bonus for her....

Oh and the magic book? Just a book of flames[conjouration]

useless...
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2232/picture21qkc.png)
Patchy then later came across a scroll of aquierment! This could be a good time to get something other than a book. Because PAtch is missing some vital equipment.

She ended up with a steaming iron amulet (good for smoothing out Patchy's robe :P)

What did it do?

She ID'd it and...
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4045/picture22y.png)

An amulet of Shuirgh....

Looking at the benifits it had, not good for Patchy on most ways. But there is one key reason Patchy should keep it....

We lack an amulet of conservation! This amulet provides the same effect which means if she wears it fire and ice spells have less of a chance of damaging and destoring her scrolls and potions. Good to use when fighting Centards, Yaktards, spellcasts, demons ect.

Sure she might get mutated but we have to take risks sometimes....

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/4006/picture23n.png)
On the 20th floor there wasn't much... Patchouli found a red back a spider that is generally like the wolf spider and an Hill giant, nothing her blades couldn't handle...

And she found a book, but it was the same as the previous....trash!

When Patchouli cleared that floor she went to the 21st floor....
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/831/picture24iox.png)
It was filled with lava! Tons of it! Very unsafe for Patchouli to be enchanting her swords around...plus Yaktards placed on conviniently placed areas where they could fire at the distances while your blade try to attack them. Not good especially since these weapons are vital. Loosing them in the lava would likely enrage everyone so Patchouli had to let to spells run out from the blades and then do most of the spellcasting work herself.

She did find a gateway to hell. A very nastly place where demons roam. But that's another story for later on...too unsafe for Patchy right now...

Other than that basiclly lots of yaktard fighting, lava snake fighting and had to shoot my own enchanted blade to save it's life from being lost in the lava. It's really risky to use Tumika's dance here. I highly advice you not to do it. Loosing these blades would be a serious problem to everyone when it comes to the later levels....

Other than that Patchouli had to call it a day and rest. Though she's hungry too at the moment....

Turn lasted 5500 turns roughly....

But at least PAtchoulis closing in on clearing all the dungeon floors...


Anyways, here's the file Anathe! Go have find and sign me up again!

(Final Note: If for some reason the file become too big in zip or rar format (over 1 MB) We will have to use Media fire or Rapid Share again to upload the file. Please take note of that...)

FYI regarding 0.5. The map files are ridiculously huge. Each one takes up at least 150kb. The other save files are still normal sized.

What this means is that you're going to need an external uploader that everyone can access freely.

Post by: Ramus on July 07, 2009, 04:27:43 PM
I'm going to whole-heartedly recommend Xom as the Assassin deity, especially with a spriggan assassin.  Why?

Xom likes to:
1.  Drop random pieces of fruits as god gifts all too often.
2.  Make everything silent chunks at a time.
3.  Make you switch positions with enemies, which for a spriggan is not bad as they run fast out of bad situations.
4.  Give random, and oddly enough, often good mutations, typically 2:1 ratio, good to bad, which is better than the average potion which has been fine tuned to 50% chance of bad or good.
5.  If you are his teddy bear, he wuvs you alot.  In other words, much less likely chance of bad Xom effects and more likely you'll come out awesome.

Granted, Xom does toss around a lot of bullshit, but it's usually weak demons or some other minor effect that you can typically survive.  Go for Xom, I managed to slay a Queen Bee on floor 4 with a demonspawn chaos knight of Xom with a bit of his help (namely that I threw a spear and it turned into a fireball).  60 aums of honey and jelly for everyone!

captainzevfox: Man, now I want food

me: yeah, yeah, you can wait the five minutes it takes me to die

captainzevfox: I think you'll last longer than that if you're just starting

me: So, this time, we'll be playing CSakuya the Spriggan assassin

captainzevfox: I mean, unless you run into that guy who kills you on floor two
What's his name, Sigmund?

me: CSakuya being Chibi Sakuya from Touhoumon, so if someone would add in that sprite, I'd appreciate it
and yeah, Sigmund wrecks our collective faces

captainzevfox: Tiny knifing Sakuya

me: so, let's get moving!

captainzevfox: Ah Sigmund, you're my hero

me: um
we begin, and there is a runed ring mail on the floor
we'll take it for testing scrolls of identify

me: wow
I've snuck up on 5 guys in a row here
I'd forgotten just how awesome spriggan assassins are

captainzevfox: Here comes man6

me: teleport scroll

captainzevfox: Equip it to your scroll of paper

captainzevfox: And so are scrolls of teleport

me: no
scrolls of teleport are for running away

me: level 2

kobold with a glowing short sword

captainzevfox: Already!

I CAN'T USE THE RINGMAIL
STOPPIT

captainzevfox: You know I'm not going to
I question why you even ask

refreshed...that's, what, restore abilities, I think?
slow, argh

captainzevfox: Wheel of potion, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn

me: haste
DOUBLE KILL

captainzevfox: Refreshed means haste?
Wait, I thought you were playing Crawl
This sounds more like Halo

captainzevfox: That's convenient
ONe cancels the other
I might almost think you planned that

me: OHGAWD

captainzevfox: Dead

Better question

captainzevfox: I'm pretty sure that's the Homer dance
Alternatively
The noise Zoidberg makes

me: and he had a runed elven dagger as well

captainzevfox: You are just getting these runed items all over the place

me: and that is that
DEAD
poor CSakuya

captainzevfox: ... wow, that was five minutes

me: that sucked mightiliy
I told you so

captainzevfox: I could write more, though
I'm not done!
Don't leave me
Please
I'm so lonely ;_;

Hmm, nothing much happened during this run to warrant screenshots.  It was quite an unexciting run where I had to run away a couple of times from an ice beast,  and use curare on ogres and orc warriors.  Stairdanced a little too.  No wands or any helpful rings at the moment (as in, not helpful at the moment), so it isn't the best start.  But hey, at least we didn't get killed.

Yup, go wrathie.

So does this mean you'll OK this? Cause I thought we were strictly sticking to 0.4.5. I just finished my run and plan to post it soon, so I want to know if it's ok to add his files. (I'll even divide them into 0.4.5 and 0.5 folder if you like.

(Still think we should stay in 0.4.5 myself since we don't have operational sprite yet...)

If the char has been on 0.4.5, keep them there. Only the Spriggan assassin is on 0.5 because nobody got round to keeping it alive to pass on. From the size of Affinity's file, it must be 0.4.5 that he used.

Well to begin the story we left Patchouli, she was on floor 21 of the Dungeon. All seem to go well for her at the moment. Well at least it did for a while... After some Yaktards... Patchouli's body began to glow...why? I forgot to remove the Amulet of Shirugh she had on...

As a result Patchouli suffered from radioactive poisoning and mutated once...

The result?

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2882/picture2coq.png)

She now has a craving for veggies...

I guess under some situation even youkais can become herbivores. :P

Long story short, eating vegetables will have a better effect, eating meat will have a slight less hunger healing effect, it's almost unnoticeable at this point thankfully. So let's be glad the mutation wasn't something terrible....

She then later came across a book..
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1259/picture3plp.png)
This book is generally promising, but it's not exactly always effective. (Beside we have book of Anilnathion, far superior)

After clearing the floor from Sphinxes, and more yaktard Patchy went to the 22nd floor...
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6659/picture4aub.png)

Looks like Patch's has the attention of plenty of fokes here... Time for crowd control! Magic Swords, GO!

Then Patchouli later confronted a new kind of elf. The Elf Knight.
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/816/picture5hew.png)

These guys are considered to be the power houses in the elf family. Though considering they're still low rank that's not say much...

Basically they can endure more damage, and can attack and perform decent damage. However they're still brittle, just not as much. Oh and they tend to use magic darts and blinking from the distance if they're not carrying a bow.

Two bolts of fire and he was down...

After slaying a squad of orges Patchy ran into a strange old wizard named Francis.
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9703/picture6j.png)

Francis is a later stage unique for a reason. When in the mood he will summon demons and other creature to aid him while he uses a variety of spells. However Patch made short work of him before he had even a chance.

After fight more hordes of monsters, Patchy got a gift from Mima..
(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5035/picture7i.png)

A Book of stalking, good if your doing poison magic early on, but at this point of the game, not quite worth it. However there is still one benefit.... Petrify and invisibility maybe... then again some demons can see invisible so..... maybe not...

After clearing out the floor Patchy went to the 23rd floor.

Talk about a welcoming party! Yaktards at the stairway.Thankfully my swords could act as Shields while Patchy dished out the damage upon the Yaktards.

But what else did she hear? The sound of coins?!! Thar must mean something very big just arrived! Patchouli decide to rush as quick as she could to find where that noise was coming from....

After exterminating a band of orcs and running from a rock giant skeleton (due to being low on magic) She discovered it....
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/7779/picture9lyo.png)

A Portal to the Bazaar!

The Bazaar is somewhat very rare to come by in 0.4.5 (or at least it was for me)

It's one spot that is highly recommended to visit because of when you enter you are bound to find shops....lots of them and they usually will care some good items in most cases. Just be sure you have your money handy. :P

To ensure she could take the items out with her, Patch dropped her books and a scroll to make room and narrowly escaped from death from the rock giant and the centaurs warrior as she leaped into the portal!

(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/83/picture10c.png)

Quite an interesting place I wonder what kind of shops we'll find here...

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9817/picture11i.png)
Oh nice, a first set of shops right here! It appears to be a Book and weapon shop! Let's see what they got!
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5536/picture12gws.png)

Nice selection. Most of these books Patchy already owns, but in the end she bought the book of Air and the Monster Manual. At least now Patchy can change her summon spell once she's prepared....

(http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/6192/picture13h.png)

This selection is awesome! In particular the Falchion there. Patch bought the Arbiter Falchion. Was it worth it?

(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6669/picture15p.png)

Oh yeah! It was it's like a robe of resistance with poison resistance, and it give a dex boost! All good! This will likely be Patchy's main weapon she'll be using now. She's practically ready for hell later on.
(http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/384/picture14.png)
And in our next room two more shops! A weapon and antique armor shop! What's inside?

(http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/5240/picture16y.png/)

Mmmm...not much here... Thought maybe the animal skin (thought I have never found many good animal skins.... Bought it anyways...
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5953/picture17uuj.png)
Now this is awesome! A double sword of eletricution +4 +2! Bought that for to use with Tumika's Dance.

Patchy tried on the animal skin and the result...
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2055/picture18s.png)

Pointless....Dropping it....

After all purchasing, PAtchy had only around 1000 gold roughly...

After leaving she gather a few things and begin to return to the hive to stash away some of her items as she was becoming overloaded...

On her way back up...she confronted an Azure Jelly.
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7169/picture20s.png)

These Jellies can be a mess if you let it get near you. As they can freeze you as they hit you. And it hurts!

Course they also have one major weakness...FIRE!

Easy work for Patchouli...or so you think....

(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7376/picture21g.png)

It changed into a Frost Giant! It's a shape shifter obviously.

Course this guy is also weak against fire, but he hits hard, always carries a battle axe, and ice resistance is a must!

But before I had a chance to kill it, it changed again!

Into a Shadow Dragon...crap...

It was actually a glowing shape shifter...

Glowing shape shifters are basically shapeshifters who lost control of their shapeshifting powers and so they change form constantly which make is rather difficult to kill them at times....

And then to top it off.. it changed again...into a quick silver dragon....

She had no choice, in order to survive, she drank a potion of haste and ran for the stairs...

I didn't get a picture, but quick silver dragons are fast and vicious. They can also breath orbs of energy at you. Meaning you can't protect yourself well against their attack, and due to their fast speed that can catch up to you easily. Very dangerous...

Thankfully Patchy was up stairs before the dragon got to her so all was well....

But she wasn't, it was filled with ogers (including a mage type)

Patchy had to depend on one thing for her to survive....Scroll of teleportation...

And after two attempts she managed to escape to a safe part of the dungeon and took her belongs back to the 14th floor where the hive was....

She then returned back down to floor 23 to go up the path they lead to the unknown areas of floor 22 and 21.
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5161/picture23.png)
She took out the shapeshifter that gave her trouble..and then went up and took out the band of ogers along with their centaurs buddies...

She also found a jade ring there...what could it be? Pattchy ID'd it...
(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1387/picture24i.png)
Eh...this ring is mainly only good for melee combat.... Not all that useful for Patchouli.... Dumping...
(http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/1130/picture25.png)
ON her way through the rest of the area she picked up two exceptionally rare potions... A potion of dexterity and a potion of Intelligence.

I wonder what we should do.... should we actually drink these now or use the cure mutation potions to get rid of Patchy's deterioration and Veggie appetite and then redrink these.

Might as well bring this up, but Patch went through some serious dropping... Str dropped by 3 for a while before it recovered. Same went for int and dex too I think. Deterioration mutations can be a pain....
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/32/picture26y.png)

Suddenly, TENTACLE MONSTER ATTACK!

Does this mean we're about to see a nasty H sense in progress? I'll explain a little bit..

Tentacle Monstrosities are pretty much your classic tentacle out to pretty much hunt you down and well you get the picture.... Let's be thankful Patchy's not a school girl. :P Still though, they can attack you a number of times when they get close to you.

So Patchy had to keep distance and blast the thing with Mystic Blast. Why? They're actually partially immune to fire, ice, and electricity and are resistant to poison.
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2230/picture27k.png)
After explore the rest of the unknown areas, Patch was over stocked on her supplies again so she had to run back up once more to the hive to put away some of the items she got down there...which where her run comes to an end after 5400 turns.

Because of the size of the crawl relay folder we have to now upload it to MediaFire, Rapidshare or other places like it....
 Crawl Relay Folder  (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mywiojumjio)

This folder contains both 0.4.5 and 0.5 files. Make sure you take files that fits the version they go to and put them back in thier folder after the run.

And finally sign me up again!

I really recommend NOT doing a third character just yet.  It's not because it's on version 0.5 or that we don't have working sprites yet, but that we've already got two characters going and this third is just going to make this take longer.  Next time we can do an assassin character, but for now, there's just too many unless more people sign up to play.

I meant to update this yesterday, but I got tired so here's my post from my run...

(http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7789/picture1ids.png)
When we last left of Patchy she was up on floor 14 where the hive was located. She went back once more to drop off her sword of electricution since she now had a double sword with the same effect (and more powerful to boot) before returning to floor 23....

When she finally got down there, she had to battle yaktards (as usual) along with other creatures. But eventurally she came acorss another unknown monster....

The fire giant
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7223/picture2zmt.png)

Fire Giants are alot like the Ice Giants. Strong, tough, and case deadly spells from the distance. THey mainly chuck fireballs in your face and weild a flaming great sword. But like the ice Giant, it has a weakness.... Ice (duh)

A few bolts of ice and the giant falls easily.

Patchy then cam across an amulet, she tried it on and ID it....
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9168/picture3fpu.png)

Well at this point of the game, this amulet may not be exactly worth it. I mean with haste, she can counter the effects of being slowed down and all, still nice to find it...
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8718/picture4sml.png)
Then suddenly a gang of orcs of all differnt types and variaties. Patch had to battle almost every orc tyoe except the warlord. Not that it wasn't hard but still difficult. Esepcially since orc high priest specilize in smiting and demon summoning...

Other than that, floor 23 was cleared... But when Patchy entered the next floor...

(http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/5809/picture5v.png)

Another Bazzar?! On the next floor? Wow talk about fortunte! This could mean another good opprotunity for Patchouli to get some excellent goods! She takes off to hunt for the portal.... At the same time Patch was looking for her swords that got misplaces after traveling down to this floor... She found 2 out of the 3 she enchanted and the other didn't come when it was recalled...what happened to it...

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9990/picture6d.png)
Curse these orcs popping up all over the place! Can't they leave our little magician alone?
Oh look, Mima left a gift! I wonder what kind of book Patchy has to use now?

Just what patchy's been looking for! A book of summoning, this should be good for her to use once she switches out her spammalls for canines, but she'll have to wait...
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2452/picture8k.png)
At last Patchouli found the portal to the second bazzar! Let's go in!
(http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/8589/picture9z.png)
Not bad of a place...I wonder what kind of shops they have here?

(http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/3904/picture11g.png)
A general and antique weapons shop....

(http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/4959/picture12rxr.png)
A wand shop...and...

(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8917/picture10a.png)

A weapon shop... I wander what could be in them?
(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1199/picture13r.png)

...sigh... general shop was boring... I already had a robe of resistance, what good could a second do?

Bought the potions, scroll and bread however...

Weapon shop didn't have many things that looked promising either. ONly the Falchion caught Patchy's eye. So she bought it...

But....this was when I realized Patchouli forgot to do something.... she forgot to drop her books before entering so the shop keeper left the weapon outside.

Oh no! what will she do??!

Drop a bunch of stones she had ( I mean what good are they now since Patch can burn everything with ease and all...)

Somehow Patch became overloaded so she deicded to ID her sword to see if it was worth it.

+4 +0 Scamitar of Flames...

Ok at least this can be good hydra extermination equipment.

Needless to say, that scroll brought her back up to encumbled status

The other shops?
(http://img189.imageshack.us/i/picture16v.png/)
Weapon shops were junk....nuff said
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/51/picture17a.png)
Again... junk! If there was a wand of healing or teeportation I'd say otherwise...

So overall thankfull Patchouli didn't have to buy much of anything here so she didn't get crushed by her supplies...

Just as she left the Bazzar...
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6474/picture18a.png)

Hello Mr. Lich, what are you doing around here. Patch burned the lich before it had a chance to counter with any magic.
(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/8020/picture19j.png)

Remember what happened to the sword that went missing?
Turned out some orc sorcerer got his hands on it.

Patch froze the ugly booger, dropped her flaming scmitar and got her holy wrath sword back.

And proceeded back up to the hive where she dropped off some of her weapons and goods to lighten her load.

This was when Patchy was beinging to feel really exhausted.... her brain power was lowering drasticly, her str faded and her dex was suffering...the deteriation effects were overpowering....

She had to do something....
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7169/picture20s.png)
So out of her own decision she took the potion of cure mutation and went back to floor 9 where the lair was at...

She consumes her cure mutation potion...
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4496/picture21iqh.png)
At least now Patch can feel a little more healthy, and can eat a well balanced diet. But her brain power faded....

This was when Parchouli took a gamble. She took the potions of mutation and consumed 2 of them!
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9458/picture22k.png)

This was actually quite a good mutation despite the one bad outcome... and the second one?
(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5161/picture23.png)

Got her dex right back up...and now she insulated from eletrcitiy!!!! (YES!)

She consumed her int and dex potion and as an end result...
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8129/picture24r.png)

Now this is what I'm talking about! Patch is now truly prepared! Big int mutation boost and insulation! She should be able to stand up to most things!

She returned down to the 24th floor.
(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/8861/picture28.png)
Not much really happened there... she found a ring of see invisible. Good if she's not using her sword, but took it for a just in case emergency...
(http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/9740/picture25y.png)

The gate way to the abyss! This is the home of an endless demonic region call the abyss home of demons, abominations, and other strange things along the god of the abyss himself, Lugonu. Patch has been fortunate not to be banished there. But one thing to know when entering is...be prepared.... cause once you enter the abyss....it's hard to get out unless you can find a gateway....
(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/4329/picture26.png)

She also found the gates to Pandemonium! An even more demoinc place full of high class demons and demon overlords that will love ripping you to shreds! Far more dangerous even for the seasoned adventuer. And to top it off there's is only two ways to escape...

Find a gateway (which is extremly rare) or...get banished to the abyss via distortion weapon (which we have yet to find....)

Needless to say it's not PAtchy's time to venture into these demonic regions of hell yet...
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/7681/picture27z.png)

25th Floor! Only 3 to go! And to top it all off after taking out that stone giant skeleton! Patch's  Spellcasting is at level 24! (Only 3 more to go!)

The book up there turned out to be junk though... Cantrip... you know how useful that is...pass...

Other than that, it seemed to be a good spot for Yaktards and Skeletons definetely. Infact as or right now, Patchy's being chased by Skeletons and yaktards that are coming from the west as she ends her run at 5500 turns.

I'm certain you guys can help her out.

Once again though, as Ramus has stated. I would love it if you guys would join in on the fun. It's hard to do it all yourself and besides...as it's expressed in another certain game.... "LOSING IS FUN!"

So yes, come and join in. Sign up.

As for me, I'm signing up again and will play my run in a day or two. But if someone else signs up I'll let them go first.

Ok time for an update...
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7215/picture1pcl.png)
As our adventure last left off, Patchy was being chased by some skeltons and yaktard. Patchy would eventually turn a corner and recharge herself to the point she'd be able to combat most of them with her magic. Eventually, she took care of them and pressed onward....
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/323/picture2gas.png)
She ended up later confronting a gang of deep trolls followed by a Storm Dragon. Strom Dragons are simalar to most other dragons with two exceptions: They can breath lightning and can more faster than you. Thankfully Patch's mutation granted her the appropriate mutation needed to actually stand up to this monster. So all was good!
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8158/picture3ezv.png
Oh and I forgot to mention... I had PAtchy take the opprotunity to learn Summon Canine Familiar to replace spammals.

What makes this spell useful? Well, results can vary, but on the most part it lets you summon canine buddies to aid you in battle. Ranging from weak jackles, to strong vicious war dogs to swift and quick wolves. There is a small degree of risk to the spell too, but it's worth it in a way... Plus they can last a little longer compared to spammals.

Other than that Patch's summons is lat level 7 now...

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2290/picture4kuk.png

She then desended to the 26th floor... didn't seem much was happening at the moment.. but wouldn't last long...

(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6631/picture5u.png)

She confronted a specteral warrior... Not much to say about this guy, semi avrage fighting ghost, that can drain you. Nuff said.
(http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/3685/picture6ytp.png)

A hall of super powered brutes? Nothing hard to PAtchy...
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9357/picture7q.png)

What's this? a small room filled wit interesting items across the surrounding lava? Might be worth collecting....

In the end though, not much but still somewhat worth it. A scroll of recharging, some bread, a book we already had...

And there was this rod Patch tried...
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9292/picture8rut.png/)

Donno abouy you guys, but do even think this is worth using? I mean patch already has these spells....
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8104/picture9nmi.png)
Oh and let's be thankful, PAtchy's trap and doors skills are at a decent level...
We would hate it if PAtch stepped on this wouldn't we?

Then suddenly, SURPRISE LICH ATTACK!
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/1236/picture10g.png)

And he brought some buddies with him. A Green Death and a Pit Fiend this would spell serious trouble definetly. One hit from the Green Death's Poisonous Bolt and Patchy lost half her health and was poisoned. (ouch)

I don't have much to say about pit feinds since I usually kill them before they do much to me, but I expect they can use the powers of hell like all feinds. Making them rather dangerous enemies...

Either way Patchy had to retreat she was then surrounded by another green death as she turned the corner. Realizing the dire situation she was in, Patch went to her last resort....Teleport!

She wounded up near some stairs safe from the demonic terrors. And while she set up come canine familar a stone giant appeared.

Thankfully the dogs actted as a sheild take the hits from the boulders the giant threw. By the time the giant finished taking out the dogs and chucking his boulders he was horribly weaken and was easy to destory with a bolt of fire and so Patchy decided to rest as she waited to recharge before confronting the lich once more.

Thankfully just after fully recharging she would get her answer as the lich was near by.  She fullly hasted herself and burned the lich to oblivion! Sweet vicotry for Patch. What could be waiting for her on the final floor of the dungeon?
(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7921/picture12c.png/)

Now that's what I call a welcoming party is any, A stone giant waiting by the stairs Patchy blinked, and there was a storm dragon just near by. Ouch!

Simple solution though, Haste + swift, then repel missle, reteat down a narrow corridor, then Burn EVERYTHING! They didn't last long after that.
(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7526/picture13c.png)
In fact Mima granted Patchy a book!
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/7894/picture14m.png)
And Also Patchy is now Level 23!

So what kind of book did Mima grant Patchy this time?

(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5924/picture15k.png)
Another poison based book.... At this point, a good majority of these spells are useless... Though there's always the spider form...but I just don't know if it's really worth it. Keeping it anyways!
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/539/picture16x.png)
Right here before you is the stair that lead to the ultimate lair....The Realm of Zot, where the orb of zot is....the item Patchouli is seeking... but there's a catch, it's protected by a barrier of some sort, and basicly, in order to even enter the Zot realm, one must carry 3 Runes they've collected on thier jounery in this evil dungeon.

PLus it houses the most dangerous of creatures in there...

So no entry to Patchouli for now.. :P

All Patch could do for now is travel through the rest of the final floor of the dungeon to see what she could find.... Not really that much... a few scrolls, more monster ambuses....yeah, the final floor really didn't have much...
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3540/picture17r.png)

So with that out of the way, where was Patch to go? There was the Vaults, or...the Orcish Mines....

Considering how many orcs she's confronted through the dungeon Patchy decided it was time to repay a visit to the orc mines once more....
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6474/picture18a.png)
Ah the good ol orc mines, always full of fun as you beat the crap out of countless weak orcs that think they can beat you with there numbers...One thing I completely forgot was.... nobody completed the orc mines in PAtchy's game. Why did run when we were doing so good in the first place guys?
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2823/picture19y.png)
Anyways in the end, I spent 5200 turns doing this run. PAtchy is currently in the orc mines, and probably should get a wand of digging back in the lair before going further. Otherwise, the orc mines should be easy picking for anyone.

Anyways, come on guys, join in! Don't leave me hanging!

And I'll sign up again.... And if someone else does, I'll let them go first.

Oy!  Guess what?  Programming camp is over.  Time to play as Patch.  Yeah, just claiming my turn.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Totaku on July 25, 2009, 12:47:27 PM
Ramus! Wait till after I posted my file please. I already did my run last night since it seemed like no one was interested.

Surprisingly there's not much to explain about the run...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5715/picture1ggh.png)
Patch started off back in Orc Mines, realizing it wasn't completely explored she took the opprotunity to head back to Hive and Lair to drop off her belongs get a wand of digging to help her out.

Once she got the wand she began her digging exploration..
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/637/picture2lfv.png)
As expected the orc brigaid welcomed her the only way they knew how. Charging at her. But being weak and frail critter they were nothing...

Patch spent a good amount of time digging through orc corpses in hope that she find a distorition weapon of some kind....no luck.. at most she found a venom type weapons in the orc's possession... And she also confronted a Warg.
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2733/picture3fij.png)
Wargs are big butt-ugly dogs that usually used by orcs to protect the mines. They're somewhat quick and can attack several times, they'll slightly less dangerous than a war dog and also...they're immune to poison.

Other than that, they're rather weak. A bolt of fire or two and they're out.

Not much to be said though since the majority of the time Patch became an orc exterminator....
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5330/picture4ica.png)
Even when confronted by gangs of powerful orcs...
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9046/picture5dng.png)
They didn't stand a chance...

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2905/picture6oiw.png)

After lots of long work Patch reached the 4th floor of the mines where she found the entry way to the Elven Halls... The homes of the Deep Elves. A rather tough place if you aren't prepared to face against lots of magic.
(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1251/picture7e.png)
Also...WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?! Seriously, a stone giant in an orc mine? That is extremly rare. Still though he was only a minor threat to patch since he was alone...

Regardless of all the digging and exploring though the best Patch got out of the mines was... money...

No good weapons, not special items.... just money.

So it's time to set foot in the Elven Halls.
(http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/5662/picture8cih.png)
Seemed awfully quite, I expected more out of this place....
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/766/picture9c.png)
Guess she does didn't walk in far enough. :P  As usually the place is gaurded by swarms of Elven foke ready to fling magic into Patch's face. Again however, the deep elf are rather frail and brake like toothpicks. So they were taken out easily...

(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8917/picture10a.png)

Patch began to dig through elven belonging to see if there was anything she could use... There wasn't much in the beginning but evtually she found some stuff overtime...
(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8917/picture10a.png)

There was a book here too was it useful? Actually no, it was a book she already had....so she left it.
(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/654/picture11m.png)

Second floor, Patch continues her hunt. Again, the elves posed little threat, except for the conjourer who sticky flamed her. She had to wear her Sigurin amulet to protect herself from the effect (even if it risk mutation, which luckly didn't)

However lucky came across as she found some interestined elven equipment... vampieric Long Sword, Short swords of flaiming, Leather armor of fire resitance (mostly +2), venom swords and Draining Swords....still no Distortion! ....

(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/627/picture12i.png)
Now here's a new face. Meet the Deep Elf Presit, think of them as a fusion between an orc pirest and an elven warrior. That right, magic darts, fire, ice and smiting. Nothing special though, they're weak as toothpicks too...
(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7673/picture13b.png)
What are you guys doing here?

Apperently some poor orcs lost thier way from the mines and wound up down here. How they get down this far it beyond me.... Either way...nothing special...

Third Floor.... Not much to say, Patch was becoming overloaded with goods but before leaving she found something special...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6461/picture14dkn.png)
Another Potion of Dexterity!

My Patch, you've been fortunate to find these. Now her dex boost is +2. Keep it up Patch!

Being overloaded though, she couldn't head up the stairs, but after some careful descision making, she made the choice to drop her scrolls of Identify at the stairs to pick up when she returns. And went back up....this was when she realized something...

SHE MISPLACED HER +2 WIZARD HAT OF RESISTANCE!!

She couldn't have left it too far, it was likely she placed it down in one of the two storage areas. So she returned to the Lair....

Nothing there... she put her digging wand there though...

She went down to the hive...She found it! I don't know how I left it down there, but regardless at least it's safe and sound... She should be able to handle the elven halls better now.

So after taking 5500 turns. (Had to waste 500 to find the wizard hat)

My turn has come to an end....

File removed since we are going with Ramus's file.

And some quick things to know: Elven Halls if you forgot are in the 4th floor of Orc mines. Which is  on the 7th or 8th floor of the dungeon.

And the scrolls of ID are sitting on some stairs going up (on the west side of the map I think) in the elven halls on floor 3.

Enjoy your run!

And sign me up again!

Okay, so Patch is on floor 2 of the Orc Mines.  I'm just spamming summon canine familiar to get summonings up so I get some ugly things spam going instead.

Also:  Steping all over (d)orcs.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/1a.png)

Patch is a dog lover.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/2a.png)

Elven Halls found.  Lets move in.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/3a.png)

Forgot how annoying elves were.  Patch had to switch out the canines for the mystic blast instead.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/4a.png)

Jackpot!  Another sword to add to Patch's small army.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/5a.png)

Fun Fact:
Summon Shadows is a summon spell that can pull out creatures that can drain enemies.  Summon Ugly Things... can pull out hostile creatures all too often.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/6a.png)

Err... did I get this mixed up with another spell?  Regardless, elves can still be summoned with swords of draining and such, so don't mock me!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/7a.png)

Guess what!  It's a shapeshifter in its normal form!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/8a.png)

More hilarity ensues as Patch summons the allied mushroom!

Wand shop on floor 2.  Nothing too good in it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/9a.png)

For some reason, this isn't as touching as Mokou's comments were.  Probably because this guy will go poof in a few turns.  Summon Shadow Creatures is not permanent.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/10a.png)

Not needed, dropping.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/11a.png)

Oh, hey, Josephine.  I remember this guy.  Meiling Spider wrestled with his skeleton bear (still, bonus points for whoever can make that image).  He's now dead.  ALONG WITH HIS STUPIDLY DURABLE GOLD DRAGON SKELETON.

And I end my turn on top of a book shop.  Note that Patch is only a couple of aum under encumberment.  Have fun!

EDIT:  Erm...  I'll just post my run and let the next person decide which one to go off of.   <.<;

Ok just so everyone knows, it's my turn at the moment since I signed up to go after Ramus, but at the same time, I'd like to point out that I want to be fair since Ramus didn't know I took my turn last night.

So I want to ask you all which file should we continue from since both Patchouli files are from the same turn frame?

Mine or Ramus's.

So far I got two votes:

Totaku: 1 vote (Wrathie)
Ramus: 1 vote (Pesco via IRC)

PS. I shall be make the decision by noon tomorrow wether or not someone votes on the file to get the game running so that the game can continue.

Post by: Ramus on July 26, 2009, 12:41:46 PM
Time for comparisions...

Totaku's Run:
1.  Got the wizard's hat back (your fault)
2.  Loads of more swords
3.  Potion of dexterity

Ramus' Run:
1.  Deeper in Elven Halls
2.  More training in summoning spells
3.  On top of a book store.  (If neccesary, I can open up the file and tell you all what's in there)

Eh, I still can't decide.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Totaku on July 26, 2009, 08:52:17 PM
Xan and pancakes told me they voted for yours...so from this point on, we're going to use your file Ramus.

Continuing from where Ramus left off. Patch was on the 5th Floor of the Elven halls.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1481/picture1bmo.png)

Considering what all she had there and was still missing her wizard hat I did the one thing I did before... Run back from the Elven Halls to retrive the wizard hat of resistance +2 that was left in the hive....

On my way back up I looked into the bookstore....
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5165/picture2edm.png/img]

Not much there that Patch doesn't have in her collection. The only books she doesn't have from that list is the book of Death and the Monster Manual.

Book of death carry several good Necomancry spells. Including Bolt of Draining. While the monster Manual contains mostly monster summons and controlling skills like Tame Beast. But also has Dragon Transformation. A high level Transfiguration spell.

Traveling up to floor 4 I noticed Ramus forgot to mention he found a distillery store.
[img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9596/picture3xai.png)

Almost everything is worth buying. But I was more concerned about the hat so I decided to worry  about purchasing later...

Along the way whille looking through elf corpses. Patch found this Scmitar...
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6226/picture4dei.png)

A speed type weapon can attack twice as fast a regular one. They are sometime good to getting upperhands in some occasions. But that's about it. Regardless Patch took it.

She then left through the elf halls went back to the mines, traveled to the Lair to drop off her weapons, then dropped went to the Hive, got her hat and got her wand of digging why?

Because Ramus didn't explore everything in the orc mines.

So after taking around 1000 turns to complete her run back to the mines with her hat. She went and dug a hole to go through the area of the mine found a hidden area in floor 1, killed some orcs, went to a set of stairs to floor 2 of another hidden. Got some gold. Killed orcs, ect...

Went down to floor 3 and took the stairs next to the stairs leading up Lead to an area that was missed in floor 4! Collected lots of gold and slayed some orcs....

After all that Patch put her want by the stairs of the elven halls and went back down into the elf lair once again...
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/1623/picture5szr.png)
4 floor...more lost orcs....exterminated

And did I forget to mention I found a few other weapons an armor that were over looked like a sword of venom (not that it's that useful...) and Elven Leather Mail of Fire Resistance?

Finally, returned to the 5th floor.

First few elf mages I took out one has a sword. Patchy equipped it and....
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3232/picture6ikj.png)
By gosh, this is exactly what Ramus and I were looking for! A weapon of distortion. And it's Elven to boot!

With this Patch can hit enemies, causing them to blink, teleport of even be banished. But it also comes with a terrible price if you dare try to unequip it.

Patch took a gamble...and tried to take off the sword...

WELCOME TO THE ABYSS!!

A place that your either going to like or hate. On your tour your bound to meet many other who are lost down here as well as meet some of the local inhabitants, which includes demons of various shapes and sizes and abominations.

Please try not to interact with the inhabitants as they do not treat newcomers with ease.

And there are some rules you must abide by as you enjoy your stay in the abyss....

1. Please remember that the abyss is infinete and will go around in a loop as you travel in a straight line.

2. Blinking magic is restircted in the abyss.

3. Teleportation takes longer that usual, so please be patient

4. At times, when you teleport or in random occasion you may be warped to a new location that is completely different and unreleated to the area you were in. Please be sure you have your belonging with out before your randomly transported to your new location.

5. In order to leave the abyss, please find the gateway with the light.

I hope you enjoy your visit to the abyss...

--

Welcome to one of the more evil locations in the game. Thanks to removing that sword from Patch's hand she is now stuck in abyss world. And there's only one way out....find the gate. Sound easy right?

Not quite. It's like finding a needle in a haystack pretty much. And imagine in the haystack you got a bunch of monsters that are going to chase you around endless trying to kill you.

That's what the abyss is about...

So let's see if I can find this gate and get outta here!
(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2848/picture8wnc.png)

Joy, just what I always wanted... a death Drake...

I hate these things for many reason. First off they can poison you with thier deathly breath...they can also possibly drain you as well....but worse of all...they can make your max HP drop the longer you stay in thier nasty breath.

Easy picking but still Patch lost some health against the thing.

Then she was chases by abominations, teleported, chased by a moltted Draconian Knight that seem to dodge everything Patch threw at it....(CRAP!) Teleport!

Then was shortly trapped by some minor demons and some abominations...
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5937/picture9xwj.png)

And thus Patch died....

This runs was too much for her. I know I could of done better, but being encumbled in the abyss really does drop your chances...

As for now, I'm telling everyone who decides to play to continue from Ramus' file.

Because:

It has a couple of good shops, especiallly the distiller in the elven halls.
It has a Elven Long sword of distortion on the 5th floor. Just kills some elves and find it. Just don't fall into the same fate as me...

Things everyone needs to do when they play Patch's file:
Go down to floor 14 of dungeon where the hive is located and get the wizard hat of magic resistance back! It's highly recommended.

Get the wand of digging down in the hive and use it on floor 1 of the orc mines. Remember there's a long narrow corridor that goes down and turns left. About 3-5 steps before you reach that corner, use the wand of digging to the right wall. It should lead to a new area that was unexplored as well as discover and enexplored second floor.

3rd floor of Orc mine. Go to the stairs that lead down at the far right. They're next to some stairs that go up. This will take you to the unexplored 4th floor.

And don't forget the Elven Long Sword of Distortion on the 5th floor! Ramus and I will need it for Panda Land!

Other than that, just be ready for anything!

This covers my turn!

Sign me up for the next one!

And also if someone signs up to play a day or two from now, let me know. I'll let you play ahead of me since at the moment I'm the only one who's resigned up. Also please use Ramus's file. I'm removing mine...

Also Ramus, which spell did you remove for Patch to learn her Shadow Creatures?

If the stuff you found was on an explored floor, it will still be there. If it was all on completely unexplored places, then lost forever. The play would have been to save when you got into abyss, but that kinda sucks for the next person (unless it's Ramus again).

Post by: Ramus on July 27, 2009, 11:49:08 AM
Pesco speaks the truth.  I'm likely not going to find that sword on floor 5 because it hasn't been generated yet. (Wait, we are the fifth floor?  Kickass.)  But I'm going to take my turn anyway.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Ramus on July 27, 2009, 01:29:34 PM
Patch forgot how to use slow.  It's pretty pointless at this point in the game.


Whelp, time to entertain you guys again.  It's Patch on floor 5.


(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/12a.png)

That was easy.  Now I must resist the urge to banish myself.  Not that hard actually since Patch isn't in peak condition to fight in the abyss.

Summonings up to level eight.  Dare I try?  Nope, Demonology is still beyond Patch's puny miond.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/13a.png)

Oh geez, that triple blade is looking badass, but Patch is already carrying too much weight.  I instead go for the ancient saber which is dirt cheap.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/14a.png)

Son of a-

That would have been a kickass saber too.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/15a.png)

Useless shop.  One artifact is a ring of fire protection plus some dexterity, the other prevents spellcasting.  Lame...

Got an amulet of controlled flight.  Eh, we'll carry it along.

Eh, time to head back up and back down to the hive.

At the hive, drop some stuff, pick up Patch's hat.  I regretfully drop a few of her swords, but they're weighing her down too much.  I don't have time to waste.  I hold onto the artifact falchions and the short swords.

Forgetting Ocozubu's Armor and Summon Canine Familiar for...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/16a.png)

Summon Horrible Things

Badass spell.  Don't attempt to use it without the staff of wizardry.  More importantly, success rate SUCKS.  As in very poor success rate.  HOWEVER:

This means summoning can be easily learned by Patch now.  Come now Abombinations!  We have a dungeon to conquer!  So yeah, don't use it if unless you have a lot of wiggle room.

Also, not going to bother with digging.  I'm busy taking over Elf Land.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/17a.png)

Welcome to floor 7 of Elf Halls.  The last time we were here, Meiling was busy digging to get morphing powers up.  We're here instead to get summoning up.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/18a.png)

It's the ANNIHILATER.  Boasting stupidly powerful spells as well as a decent weapon (usually anyway, this guy just has a whip).  Patch just blasts him.

Geez, nearly died with 17 HP left.  >_O  Still, over a thousand in the exp pool, all going into summoning.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/19a.png)

Oh frick, another one.  Deathmage.  This guy also has painful spells, but he's a combo of summoning and conjuration if I remember right.  Some necromancy too.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/20a.png)

A deep elf high priest.  Just a stronger priest.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/21a.png)

Bolt of Fire, badass spell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/22a.png)

Elf Demonologist.  100% summoner.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/23a.png)

Elf Blademaster.  He can dual wield.  You can't.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/24a.png)

Main hall, let's go!  AND RETREAT.  Following this is a load of hit and run tactics.  Gah, MP meters suck, they always run dry.

Pick up the disk of storms (grEy disk).  Useless because Patch isn't too good at being conductive thanks to a mutation.  Dropping.

And dead.  Fun stuff trying to teleport away only to be brutally murdered by two elf sword masters that are faster than you.

No save from me.

Post by: Totaku on July 27, 2009, 05:50:53 PM
Alright.... I'm going to tell you what has happened in my story, oddly, there isn't to discuss.... but I'll explain what I can...

Again, took the time to return to the hive, get the hat, return to the take the digging wand, dropped it off along with the sword of slicing. Returned back to the elven halls. Got back to floor 5.

Got the sword of distortion... Bought potions as a cautious step. And when I removed it...
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6637/picture2rcf.png)
Whew! She only suffered from distortion pains. Far less painful than being sent to the abyss. With that over Patch can now stand up to the take on the rest of the elven forces...

After that Patch checked out the shops. In the jewlerry shop there were two rings Patch found that caught her interest. A ring of Ice protection. And a special ring that gave Patch fire resistance and +3 evasion. I ended up buying both. Patch needs them for later...

While exploring Patch found an amulet of controlled flight.

(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5782/picture3rdy.png)

To explain it simply, when you levitate, you can't go downstairs or pick up items, wearing this let you do that. This can be useful but I don't generally use it all that much... Took it anyways...

Patch was filled with so much stuff in her invetory that she had to use her scroll of charging to recharge on of her wands (the wand of cold cause I had to use it and it ran out of juice.)

Regardless of that Patch did make it down to floor 6.
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3016/picture4zmz.png)

With her inventory overstocked. Patch had to leave and take another trip to the Lair, drop off her weapons, some of the scrolls she found, rings and amulets and a few potions to lighten the load.

Back to elf land again!

(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2633/picture5m.png)

Why Hello There Joshep, whatcha doing here?

Joseph is a mercnenary. And not a very tough one thankfully. He will hit you hard and that's pretty much it. Two bols of fire and he was down....

Oh and also I have to say I hate conjourers cause they keep trying to drain patch... I need to take them seriously with fire.....cause they somehow managed to drain patch back to 22
And she ended up getting promoted back after killing him.

But seriously, this will be a hassle if this keep going on!

While were at it let's also point out Patch ran into a couple of unfortunate encounters with Zot traps.
(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2792/picture6b.png)
First getting blasted by Sharpnels on the 6th floor...
(http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/8263/picture7w.png)
And then when she reached the 7th floor.

It wasn't long before she hit another one. This time poisoning her badly. She was forced to drink a healing potion to remove the effects...

Most of the elves in the area are weak as toothpicks as usual though so not much happened. But this is the final floor, so don't expect all elves to treat you easily some are more dangerous than others....
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8148/picture8fkf.png)
Along the way Patch found a ring that looked unique. Could it be useful?

She had to ID it and....
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9173/picture9v.png)
Not bad, a ring that gives you poison resistance, invoke levitation, and a small intellegence boost at least I can replace the ring of poison resistance with this.

Also forgot to mention I found an elven vampric short sword and an elven long sword of flaming, let them in a large room located near some stairs if we decide to collect them.
(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2674/picture10q.png)
In the mean time though...after nearly 5500 turns. My turn with patch has come to an end.... down to the south of here should be the great elven vault where the worse of all elves are located. Be prepared as they come heavly armed with high ranks spells and weapons. But at the same time... the rewards are usually great if you survive...

Are you a bad enough anemic magician to take on a legion of high rank elves?

Besides that though let's note. that once we survive this place. The first thing we should probably do is loot the treasure. Even if it takes several trips.

Then after that we should pick up whatever weapons and stuff we can take back as well.

Then we should take our chances and return to the vaults and conqure the final area. Then since we have an item to resisit corrosion, go the the slime pits. Then it's hell, abyss, Tombs (once we perfect the art of demonlogy) and whatever else we can do before we go grab the orb.

As for now, I'm signing back up once more.

But I will be busy because I have to prepare for an interview for tomorrow. So I will let anyone else go before me if they have time until tomorrow night...say roughly 25-30 hours from the time of this post. I'll play from where ever we leave off.

Here's the file...
Crawl Relay Folder (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uxnizggrmzl)

Enjoy!

Final note: Ramus, if your really want those abomination back I won't stop you but I preffer we don't toss out Ocozubu's armor either. Maybe if you hold off just a little bit Patch should get enough spellcasting experience to learn it.

But it's your call...

Post by: Totaku on July 29, 2009, 05:30:31 AM
ok, but I said I'd take my turn after I comeback from my interview. Which I've already done, so let me share with you what happened with Patchouli....

In today's adventure with Patchouli. Patch attempts to complete the rest of the Elven Halls!
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3156/picture1rfg.png)
Right as Patch entered the hall she confronted an Elf High Preist. A super powered version of the presit. Can smite, call undead, and maybe summon some demons. Otherwise is considered the weakest of high rank elves.

After killing the high preist, Patch tried to move forward but then confronted more high rank elves. Like the Demonlogist (bottom left) and Annialator (bottom right).
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5904/picture2knm.png)
Demonologist like Ramus said are summoners, but they tend to summon high rank demons. Even feinds at times. And it can get pretty dangerous.

And Elven Annihaltor mainly uses high level spells like crystal spear, Fire Blast, Ice Blast, Poison Bolt, and Mystic Blast. They can be very dangerous if they take the time to cast thier magic on you...

During the battle with the annihaltor and the demonlogist, Patch had to deal with the demologist summoning a Pit Feind. Which I consider to be on of the hardest of feinds to fight, mainly due to thier partial immunity to fire, ice, wind and poison. Making them hard to kill. They don't generally cast spells other than the one that drains the half of your health, but still it's a pain...

After taking care of the two pesky elves though Mima delivered Patchouli another book!

(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8638/picture3rlb.png)

What kind of book was it?

A book of survailence

Not all that hot of a book at this point....especially since were nearly done exploring all the basic floor, but then again, it may have a use for the magic mapping. Still, she'll have to leave it for now...

Pretty much Patch couldn't make much ground entering the place. Elves were coming out quickly some especially equipped with unique weapons.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3444/picture4hvw.png)
Patch also confronted a Elven Death Mage. Like Ramus said, he's a necromancer elf, who can raise the dead, use draining attacks and so forth... Still can be a toughy if left alone...

Even as Elves kept coming from the wood work... Patched managed to find a rather awesome Robe from one of the elves she killed.
(http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/8362/picture5imu.png)

The robe of the Archmage. A rather awesome robe. It can give your magician a big magic boost to thier magic when they wear it. But as it states. "It's best worn by mages who have little left to learn....

Why? Because everything you kill when you wear this robe you only gain 1/4 the experience that you'd get normally. So this should only be saved when Patch is ready to go for the orb and finish the game. If we choose to wear it....

Luckly during the battle with the elves Patch's summoning reached Level 9!
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9213/picture6zwe.png)

Can she read demonlogy yet?....sadly...no. ;_;

Eventually Patch had to fight through Elven Scorcerers. Which are also high rank mages who cast some dangerous spells. Simalar to the Annihaltor, but not quite as hard and uses mainly fire magic.

And even Elven Blade Master. And like Ramus stated, they are basiclly twin bladed elves with swift on them. They move very fast and can hit hard since they use two weapons. And are the toughest of all the Elves...

Still not making much progress into the room. An Elven Archer Master eventually appeared...
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5578/picture7rsw.png)
These elves are skill marksmen and thier arrows can hit quite hard! They're willing to use thier arrows in point blank range compared to other elves. Which is why they shouldn't be treated lightly... However they're not that tough either. Two blasts and they're down.

Within a short preiod of time... the room eventually cleared out... After what seemed like an eternal battle against the elven forces. Patch appeared to have eleminated every single elf from the room...

She went to the vault and....
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5186/picture8yvz.png)

Looks at all the cool stuff here. Apperently the elves used some of the weapons here. They weren't very useful weapons though, axes and stuff like that... Our Patch uses Swords. :P

Regardless though there was still good stuff....

While I forgot to take photos. I'll explain some of the things here....

Most of the books were books Patch already owned... except for one..
(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/3113/picture10ghc.png)
The Books of Sparatical Translocation!

This book is an awesome book especially if your good with translocation! You can learn to teleport self and Control Teleport! I think Patch should learn to teleport self for her sake it'll be very useful in the later parts.

The staffs were staff of power. Nothing all that great...
The other staff was the staff of summon. Only good for boosting the effects of summoning. This is debatable, but I left it there.

The potion was a potion of strong poison. Thank goodness she was wearing her poison resistance ring. :P

The Glove were +2 Gloves of Pantheism. And they were awesome!

Why?

+3 Str, Let's her teleport, Lets her sense her surroundings, and makes her more stealthy!!

Awesome in every way! Now Patch can use teleport and magic mapping. She just needs to learn control teleport now and we can forget the book of survailence now.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/900/picture9atr.png)
A Helmet of Intellegence! This is Patchy's new head gear now! Gives her +3 int.

The Ring turned out to be the ring of Shaolin. Meaning +8 Evade for Patch!
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/7089/picture11uhg.png)
There were even spellcasting manuals and and an Air manual. Patch tried to learn from them....but they crumbled away... ;_;

Finally Patch also got an amulet of Otzus...What does it do?

It's like a amulet of resist slowing. Prevent slow, boost the length of haste. And gives +3 AC! Now bad. Keeping!

The amount of trips Patch had to take to gather these goods?

3 trips.

Frist two was to get most of the things in the vaults.

The last one Patch gather the few last small goods there. Bought all the potions in the potion shop almost (except degeneration).

And then went to the weapon shop got a saber of poison and the Triple Sword of Flaming.

She left the saber behind since poison not going to be all that good. The triple sword on the other hand has it's uses.... Though Patch has to unequip her buckler just to equip the darn thing!

Yeah this run was full of lots of tureasure looting, but they were all awesome finds. ^^

On a final note...while battling the high rank elves. Patch suffered from radiation from over abuse from magic.

Yeah...using your magic way too much (especially spells like haste and teleport) can make you start to glow...as a result... Patch body began to deteriorate...again....

This is obviously not good....
So what did patch do?

The potions of mutation she bought at the store, she took back to the lair. She drank one...

She gain +1 Str, her body further deteriated and she became magic resistant!

But with the deteriation this can be a serious problem...what to do?

Drinks the cure muation potion. She lost several of her good stats but got rid of her deterations....

As a result. Patch now has the following mutations:
+1 Str
+1 Int
Still resistant to electricity
And finally can resist magic.

So in a way this is still good. Patch is on a roll!

So now Patchy's turns at floor 9 as she heads off to her next destination...

Next time, we tackle the Vaults! Or the slime pits...or both!

Stay tune next time.

As for now here's the file Ramus.

Also sign me up again!

Also I forgot to drop off some of the potions of healing. Put them in the hive when you get the chance.

Manuals of stuff are best read when you have a big pool of experience (like after killing a panda lord cuz those guys will give you max xp). You would have a decent amount of xp but probably not that much to fully utilise the manuals. Now you know for next time.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Ramus on July 29, 2009, 10:18:37 PM
Joy, it's my go at Crawl again.  A little update:
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/150.png)

Spellcasting is 2 level from max, which means Patch is all around awesome at magic.  Summoning is at level 9... out of 27.  Granted, we don't need it at level 27, but we can do better.  Conjurations, by far Patch's best spell category is at 22.  She can destroy most things on a whim.  She can also kill it with fire quite effectively which means when we get around to the hells, it's going to be (WHY?!  WHHHHYYYYY?!) the cold branch.

Level 23 (out of 27)
HP: 89
MP: 48

Str: 12
Int: 38 (I took off the one ring in favor of sustence)
Dex:  14

AC:  16
EV: 18
SH:  5

So here's the catch, Patch can destroy just about anything, however, the recoil hurts as her defenses suck.  Yeah, that covers Patch pretty well at this point, glass cannon.  We also need boots and a cloak made of less lame and more awesome.  ON TO THE VAULTS!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/151.png)

Down that stairway is going to be a battle that I'm not even sure I can win, or survive.  Cue battle music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPVb0_gYbRg&feature=related)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/152.png)

Yes, I was being very serious about that survival part.

All three of Patch's sword are knocked down immediately.  Zombies are destroyed immediately.  The two vault guard summons are immediately killed.  So what to do?   I run up and down the stairs.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/153.png)

That zombie had to go.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/154.png)

Freaking mob won't scratch them.  The only reason you summon monsters at this point is to distract the guards while you hit them with mystic blast.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/155.png)

Downside to super charging Patch's speed, she begins to glow and has a possibility of mutation.  Guess what happened?  Vision is getting bad.  But hey, that's in character, right?  Regardless, reading scrolls and memorizing spells has a chance of failure now, but it's minor.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/156.png)

Son of a-

It happened again, except with high metabolism.  ;_;

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/157.png)

FUCK!

Patch later dies because of giant rock being firmly implanted into her skull.  Twice.  Nice to know eyeballs generate on the bottom floor of the Vaults.  Have fun Totaku, floor 8 is hard.

Post by: Totaku on July 30, 2009, 07:20:13 AM
Ouch that was unfortunate there Ramus.

But I do have good news for you.... I have a huge story to tell! ^^
(http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3678/picture1ayc.png)
As we began this tale. Patchouli had just finished the elven halls. She had decided that it was time to return to the final floor of the Vault to take her attempt to obtain the Silver Rune of Zot...

She stopped by the hive to drop off some potions she gained and then traveled to the Vaults. When she arrived to the 7th floor she reached the stairs went down...
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2227/picture2qrc.png)
It was heavily guarded! Vault Guards all over the place and it was only a matter of time before they spotted her. She made haste and went up and then hasted her self, became swift, and added Obuzucu's Armor.

Like Ramus I used this statagy to lure them to the stair take some up with me. Blink away from them. And then start burning them away. It was a slow and tedious process. And every so often when haste ran out, Patch had to just use swiftness alone to avoid causing a mess with her magic.
(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5106/picture3atw.png)
But seriously, these guards are crazy! All ganging up on poor Patch...

Eventually Patchy began to practice summoning as she prepared to fight more guards and...

(http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/917/picture4ref.png)

Level 10 Summoning!

Can she read the book of demonlogy?

(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8233/picture5nnf.png)

YES SHE CAN!

Patch now has the understanding of demonlogy and can now summon forth demons!

It has a bunch of cool spells too...

Abjouration let's you send a hostile summoned creature back where it once came from.

Call imp let's you summon an imp to aid you in battle and they come in 3 flavors. Normal, Ice and Shadow.

Summon a Demon let's you call a demon to come aid you in battle. If you used Malkehb before, it's very simalar to that skill call forth minor demons. So yeah you get a demon buddy to aid you here.

Demonic Horde let's you summon a swarm of low rank demons. Ranging from the terribly weak ijueblyx (such a hard name to spell) to imps. It's basiclly spammals in demon format. And thankfully demons stronger.

Summon Greater demons allows you to call forth a high rank demon to aid you in battle (like Green Death, Executioners, Blarug, and Blue Death)...but....

Patch decided to try learning summon major demons first. She had no problem learning it.

Her success rate was great, but I'll cover more on the spell later....

During some guard battling Patch heard Mima's voice. She dropped another book! What was it?
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6863/picture8moh.png/img]

A book of death...this would be a good book if say Patch were skilled in Necromancry. But as you know this stuff has it's backdraws too. Not quite worth it...

And just when you think fighting nearly 20 guards isn't bad enough, Crawl then throws a Aicent Lich in your face!

Talk about fun....

Come my shadow minions! Act as my shield!

Oddly, the summoned orcs and oger were enough to keep the lich at bay for a while while Patch charged up. And to top it off. They nearly finsihed him off. But as you can see he didn't go down without a fight. Killed some of my minions and rasied every dead vault guard in the area....

Regardless though, Patch eleminated the lich. Gain a big load of experience. Took out the undead and finally was at the point where she could actually begin to set off inside the last floor....

But as she was resting....
(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2862/picture11f.png)

Crap....too much haste abuse!
Patch was glowing for a while as she rested. But what was fortunate was....she never suffered from any mutations what so ever!
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1352/picture12t.png)
Now as for summoning a greater demon. Sure these demons are cool. They can really help you out of a nasty pinch as they act like your personal bouncer.

However....

Thier bind to your summoning power can only last so long....

After a short while they will turn against you and begin to attack you! This can turn very terrible if your low on magic when doing this.....

So use extreme caution when summoning greater demons...

In fact I don't think it's a smart move for her to even be using that spell. Even at excellent they'll still bite back!

So instead Patch forgot summoning greater demons and learned demonic horde.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6332/picture14g.png)
Like I said, demonic horde is spammals in demon format. Good fun crowd control! They can even keep iron trolls at bay for a while.
(http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/425/picture15s.png)
Oink Oink! What's a hog doing here? Well to be honest. It wasn't really a hog, but a shape shifter still though pigs are well simple creatures about as good as sheep. :P

While exploring one of the earlier vaults, Patch found a staff...It was a staff of channeling.
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5205/picture16d.png)

Patch also found a staff of conjouration. This staff boost the damage done by conjouration spells.
Patch left it with the other staff...

Donno what to say. I decided to put it down with some later good I obtained.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2135/picture19f.png)
This area was crawling with shape shifters. But most of them chose weak forms making them easy pickings for Patch. Still though Patch also found a pair of glowing gloves and they were...

Gloves of Stregnth. Good gloves, but build your str by 3. It depend though so personally I kept them. They may have a purpose after all...

(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9814/picture20a.png)

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LICHES?!

LEAVE PATCHY ALONE!!!!

Seriously, Patch has battle now 4 liches to date and 2 acient liches.

After exploring the entire outer rim of the vault floor and the first inner vault. Patch went into the second one. Many creature stood in her way especially the Shadow Dragon. However, upon killing it...
(http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/5581/picture21j.png)

She was promoted to level 24!

Again more int. Now her intellegence is 41!

3 more levels before she's maxed!
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1268/picture22u.png)

And now we reached some serious tureasure. Which was guarded by a stone giant.

What was Patch to do? The same thing she always does. :P

Burniate!

There were lots of good scrolls and items there
But what was under the stone giant's corpse?

THE SILVER RUNE OF ZOT!!!

Patch has techically completed the vaults now! And how obtained 3 runes. Which is enough to go into the Zot Realm, but should she really go? Not yet for she is not prepared and there is alot more to do....

So she continued to explore further....
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1926/picture23u.png)
3rd vault area: The Hentai Chamber. That's about the best way I can describe this area. Lots of beast, but there seemed to be alot of Tentacle monsters to boot. Making it hard for Patch to handle.

Patch had to fight, retreat and use Mima's power to recharge. Just in order to survive.

In one chamber...another Tentacle Monster and a whole bunch a tureasure. But to top it all off this happened...
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3412/picture24t.png)

She has done it. Patchouli has finally mastered Spellcasting 100%! This means now she will no longer need to gain experience in that feild and can now use magic to the fullest potential possible. It's now time for Patch to look into training other things....

So what could patch do here with all these goodies?
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4213/picture25m.png)
Well out of everythign here...she mainly gather the food, gold, scrolls and most potions except for speed and resitance.

Also the unknown scroll I ID'd and it was the scroll of the holy word.

Her invetory is getting pretty full, she's going to probably have to leave and return back here to gather everything.

Regardless she was going to at least open the other chambers first...
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9886/picture26o.png)
The second chamber didn't have as much. But there was an amulet there, could it be any good?

(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9940/picture27q.png)

It was an amulet of RAAAAGGGEE!!!!

Yeah... basiclly turns you into a beserk killing machine. But seriously...could you imagine patch being a killing machine full of RAAAGGGGEEEE?
(http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/8596/patchrage.png)

Well I sure can't....pass!
(http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8861/picture28.png)
Now what's an orc doing with a triple sword in his hands?

Well Patch took out the dumb block and checked out the sword.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6590/picture29.png)
It was a triple sword of Draining!!

This day just keeps getting awesome!

Patch was over stocked, so she took the triple sword up the stairs and left them on the 7th floor by all the equipment from the deceased vault guards.
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7578/picture31k.png)

3rd Chamber: The empty, but sweet room. While there were weapons patch didn't use. There were a few books there. An Elven sword and a distillery!

Patchy checked out everything there...
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7578/picture31k.png)

One book was a manual on long blades...

Saving it for later....
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2885/picture33wxu.png)

The other was a book of Earth
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2885/picture33wxu.png)

So Patch hasn't focused much in the feild, but do you think we should learn dig? Up to you on that one. ^^;

The Elven Long sword was an Elven Long Sword of Freezing! A keeper definetly. We just need more room in our invetory.

And the distillery shop?
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8508/picture34y.png)

Was full of awesome. Heal wounds, potion of healing, cure mutations. She bought all those easily.

She was beginning to feel emcumbled...

(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6319/picture35p.png)

An actual Quick Silver Dragon. Quick, fast, agile. Yeah Patch needed to haste to fight it otherwise she'd fall to it...
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3499/picture36w.png)
Chamber 4: The money room. Nuff said. And the Great Sword had draining.
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9710/picture37y.png)
So....after 5500 turns. My run with Patch has come to an end. Sorry about that but I wanted to get through the 3rd vault area on the final floor. There's still one more. (The open ended vault on the bottom left)

Now let's review where Patch's skills currently stand....
(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/305/picture30f.png)

And now I ask you all where should we go from here? My idea was to reopen Conjouration, Ice and Fire. and work on those. But you all can give me your thoughts on that.

Also should we just replace demonic hodes with summoning horrible things?

As for now, my turn is done.

As for the next person who takes on the task, wether it's me or someone else. I like to reminds you.

Your likely going to be spending the turn dropping off everything that has been discovered in the vaults down here. There is just too many things for Patch to pass on from this floor. Also be sure to drop off the rune at the Lair, I've been putting all the runes there.

Also don't forget the triple sword of draining on the 7th floor.

Also don't forget there is still one area of the vaults left. So there's bound to be more monsters lurking about....

And finally if you manage to finish the turn delivering everything It's best to get prepared for the slime pits. Get the amulet of resisting corrosion from the lair or hive(make sure to equip it). Get back to the Lair, get a wand of digging from there. And then travel down to the deep parts of the Lair where the slime pits are located.

And here's the file if you decide to take a turn.

Otherwise I'll play again in a few days.

Just take a turn specifically for clearing up your inventory and stashes. Post up a shot of Patchy's stats screen too pls.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Totaku on July 30, 2009, 05:44:00 PM
Ok, after talking with everyone I've decided to perfrom clean up duty for everything I gathered in Patchy's run.

So let's begin shall we?

With one more vault area to clear, Patch ventured into the vault.

But before she did, she decided to read the long sword manual.
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3312/picture1aww.png)
Seriously, Patch mains with long swords so this will be useful.

That Vault was anything but easy going... Plenty of stone giants, Yaktard Captains and even a Iron Dragon among them!
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/638/picture2nxk.png)
Iron Dragons are rather tough dragons. Thier bodies are made of solid iron. They can resist fire, ice, electicity and poison to some extent. And they can breath out sharpnels into your face!

The only good part about this guy is that he's slow. Which means Patch already has the advantage!
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1338/picture3fbe.png)
And Patch also managed to summon a glowing shapeshifter. Which you all know what it can do. It just changes more often.
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1527/picture4yvu.png)
Also Patch found a book in the vault that caught her eye was it any good?
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4195/picture5vxf.png)

Well you might say it can be.

A book of divination uses spells that center around divination. The first four you should already know. Identify doesn't exactly as it say. It ID's unknown items.  And Forscry, let's you somehow get a glimps into the future and being able to perdict to movement of your enemies. Thus if gives you an Evasion boost!

Pretty cool stuff. But is it really worth it? At this time, it's improtant to reflect back that as of this point. Patchy's magic is soon going to reach it's limit. So alot of things will have to be decided as we proceed on the last few dungeons.

Also I got rid of demonic Horde and got summon horrible things. Despite the small int draining risk. It's actually worth it. We just need to practice on her summoning some. :P

(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4493/picture6alq.png)

Ah here's the tureasure. But also here are the Tentacle monster's again....This might as well be called the hentai vaults....

Overall it looks like there were several cool things here.

First off there was an amulet of conservation. Which well protects your items from being damaged. We already have another one just like it. But it comes with some effects. (+4 Str, -1 int, Stealthy, protection from fire, Radiation) I forgot the exact features but I know radiation was one of them. Taking this though since we'll likely be using it later.

Patch also tried on a Pitted Buckler...

(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8317/picture8heq.png)

And it was actually awesome! Protection from ice and electricity! Worth it!

Then I found this unknown ring. I ID'd it and...
(http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5152/picture9h.png)

I don't think it's exactly worth it. Sure it has it's benifits, but I already have enough radiation issues....

(http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7250/picture11mwz.png)

Oh and I found an Efreet (mokou) in a bottle. Turned out to be a friendly one for once...

Sad part was he didn't last long... After an army of Stone Giants came the efreet died... ;_;
(http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/7238/picture14x.png)

This brings us to the next bit. Patch was getting cornered by Stonr Giants and Yaktards And while casting repel missles, Mima dropped off another gift!

Patch grabbed the book and looked at it...
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7563/picture15t.png)

Now this could be useful!
A book of fire teaches you high rank fire spells like Delay Fireball which if you already know Fireball only cost you one level of experience to learn. And when you use it, it creates a fireball that you can launch at a later time. (by using a and then selecting the letter that corrisponds with it.) Useful when preparing to launch an attack. But it does cost quite a bit so take caution.

But because the stone giants came in massive numbers, Patch had to resort to charging up her magic and then using haste to escape.... and once again...she payed the price....

More radiation...

As a result... Patch became weaker.... her str is back to normal. And now she has the urge to "mukyu". This can sadly gives away your point if your trying to hide. But thankfully it doesn't happen all that often. So all is well.

From that point she recharged took out the giants. And then she began to do what she needed to do...take all the good items back with her. She took most of the potions she could carry, the wands she found, the glove, the swrod of freezing, the triple sword of draining, and so forth...

The number of trips Patchy needed to complete everything?

3 trips. And then to take the rune back to the room with the other runes. Get the amulet of resist corrosion, and a wand a digging and the mapping scrolls. Overall. Patchy spent 4500 turns just doing all of this. So yeah, her entire turn was almost all about collecting the items....

After properly preparing herself. Patch venture down to the 8th floor where the Slime pits were located.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1865/picture17c.png)

And now she enters into the slimy region...
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6925/picture18mlp.png)
Right from the get-go she was welcomed by an Acid Blob!

Acid Blob are probably the worst common enemy of the slime pits. They appear alot and are quite fast. And to top it all off, they can spit acid from afar! They're basiclly Oklob Plants with legs. And if your directly hit with the acid...it will hurt. To take caution with these things! As a recommendation I usually will swift myself before fighting them. Just so Patch can match thier speed. And then follow up with lots and lots of bolts of fire. 2-3 should work on one.

After killing the blob though, Patch's run comes to an end.

Now before I hand off the file I do want to point out some things.

First off under Pesco's request: The Stats:
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5904/picture20fkb.png)

Even though she's currently has max ice protection, Patch can switch things around to give her alternet benifits.

By switching to her other Randart Falchion, she can get a fire bonus and with the special fire protection ring, she can max it out.

And by putting on an amulet of warding and life protection ring. She can max out her resistance to draining. So practically she's prepared to actually venture down into the bowles of hell if she wanted to.

But let's hold off on that till later...

Things Patch needs... Better shoes and cloak. She really needs something like that, cause I'm trying to avoid using the armor enchantment scrolls until I get some worthwhile boots and cloak for her.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/161/picture21a.png)

Mutations:

Like I said, Patch is still fairing well. Other than the Mukyu bit, she doesn't seem to do it all that much. (So far she's only done it twice in my play.) So I say it's not anything to worry about...
(http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/6360/picture22r.png)
Skills:

I've decided to open conjouration, Fire and Ice once more. Patch needs to train in these feilds and get better with her magic. This of course also applies to her summoning. But that's a choice we all have to decide on carefully...

Also Conjouration is almost level 24. Might as well get it maxed out as well.

Final Thoughts:

Depending on what goes on here. This area could either turn out to be very easy or a big problem. We have a few randarts, but we now have to depend on resist corrosions to protect the items that aren't.

So whatever you do. During the exploration of the slime pits... DO NOT REMOVE THE AMULET OF CORROSION!

It's the only way to prevent our equipment from being ruined....

Also because of a sever lack of resist mutation we will have to tread carfully against Shining eyes which have the tendency to mutate you. Though the're mutations can very in results. So who knows.

Also note that not many thing drop food here. You can probably eat giant eyeballs and giant ameboa (with poison resistance). But other than that. If it turns out your running out of food, don't be afraid to retreat. It's imprortant to know that there is plenty of food around and it's best to take caution especially since some jellies can act like oklob plants here.

So yeah I can't stress enough...tread carefully!

As for now my turns is over. And I'm handing the file to whoever want's to play.

And I'm signing up again. But I'll wait till a day or two depending on how I feel(or until someone else plays).

Also anyone else out there....sign up too. It'll be more fun that way!

I shall not fail this time.

Which means I want to sign up.  Let's tackle the pits.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Ramus on July 30, 2009, 07:42:12 PM
Okay, welcome to the Slime Pits.  Now, if I wanted to follow Totaku's line of thought about the hentai vault, I could call this the cum pits, but I won't.  Even if Patch is likely to get all slimy.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/158.png)

This is a slime creature.  Basically, it's a slime, except stronger.  And by that I mean, still wimpy.  Patch just hits it with fire and makes it into a hot slimy pile of goo.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/159.png)

Oh lords, there's more of them.  The amoeba, if I remember right, can make you ill by attacking you.  It's also the only thing that leaves corpses down here.  So after Patch makes it into a hot slimy pile of goo, she can drink it to feel up her empty belly (if she has poison resistance).

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/160.png)

Shining Eye, it can mutate you.  And mutations are generally bad.  Can make things pop up in places and on people they really shouldn't.  Good news is that its AC and EV are horrible.  Kill it with fire.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/161.png)

Time to break out that wand of digging.  We got to drill into it somehow, right?  Onwards, pentrate the walls of the Slime Pits and enter the holes we form!

Oh wait, we've got teleport.  I take that back.  We just jump to somewhere else.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/162.png)

Brown ooze.  Stronger jelly.  Not sure if it leaves a corpse or not, but trust me, you really, really don't want to eat the brown pile of stuff.  There's all kinds of bad bacteria that exist there and no where else that you don't want in you.

SON OF A-

Another dead end.  >_<  TELEPORTATION AWAY!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/163.png)

It's a giant spore!  Basically, touch it (with that gentle womanly touch) and it explodes and sends its seeds everywhere.  You really don't want to get hit by those.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/164.png)

Okay, now see that meatball with an eye?  That's an eye of draining.  It sucks MP.  See that eyeball?  That is a royal pain when with a group.  As stated before, it's killed me in my most recent run because it showed up while I was against a stone giant.

Solution?  Kill with fire(balls)!  Totally not gay when a fireBALL touches an eyeBALL.

Ah geez, Patch got some of the slime on her boots.  They're corroded.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/165.png)

Azure Jelly, I believe it's not acidic.  However, it is fast, and more importantly, has cold attacks.  This means that fire kills it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/166.png)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/167.png)

Frick Patch, don't do that!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/168.png)

Death ooze.  It's undead, fast, and even stronger version of the slime creature.  What does this mean?  You can still kill it with fire.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/169.png)

After sending her bolt of fire down a long hallway to penetrate (and kill) another slime, Patch levels up!  We celebrate by memorizing delay fireball!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/170.png)

I give you, the book of SKY!  Sadly, Patch lacks Air magic, and it may not be worth investing in at this point in time.  I'll let Totaku decide.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/171.png)

While practicing summoning, I managed to pull up another creature from this place that we haven't seen yet, the eye of devastation.  It's attacks?  Energy bolt, energy bolt, energy bolt.  Those attacks hurt.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/172.png)

Pulsating Lump of Flesh.  It only has melee, but if it hits you, there's a chance of mutation.  All around lame and weak.  Patch penetrates it with fire bolt.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/173.png)

Welcome to the final floor of the slime pits.  Prepare to meet the Royal Jelly, which I might remind, won five matches in a row in the death matches and was only topped by a lord of hell.  It killed another one though.

Oh wait, let's memorized that deflect missile spell from our supply.

Okay, I've got a fireball at the ready and deflect missiles on (acidic blob pot shots).  Let's go!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/174.png)

TOTAKU!  RAGE!  This is NOT the time to be dealing with another one of your ghosts.  Human Chaos Knight, a fencer. We should be able to magically destroy him.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/175.png)

Piece of cake?  Moving on.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/176.png)

Great Orb of Eyes, another monster I summon while practicing summons.  It does all sorts of nasty stuff include disintegration, teleport other, paralyze, etc.  KILL IT BEFORE YOU CAN SEE THE WHITES OF ITS EYES!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/177.png)

Patch needs some new shoes.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/178.png)

It's The Royal Jelly!  Congrats, if you've gotten this far, know you're royally screwed.  No pun intended.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/179.png)

WAIT NO!  I hit s for swiftness, not d for blink!  NO!  WAIT WAIT, I hit ak for fireball, not zk for renewal of repel missiles.

PATCH! DON'T DIE!  Nnnnnoooooo....  Crawl, why do you hate me so?

Note to whoever goes next, repel missiles does not work about acid shots.

Gentlemen...
IT IS TIME
TO CRAWL
Where did we left? Oh yeah, the Slime pits. Ramus already reviewed pretty much every monster around, so I'll focus on our findings.
After following Ramus' teleporting strategy (And also failing once), we reach the second floor.
Second floor was really boring (just some killing, and a proof that Patch sucks at Melee). Third floor go!
(http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/1318/eye1.png)
Oh. Turns out I do find an eye of devastation. BURN, BASTARD.
Two turns later, I find out that spellcasting does not wake up creatures. That, or I'm lucky.
(http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/5683/corrosion.png)
YOU FUCKER
Oh well. Time for the sixth floor.

Uh oh.

A book of Warp! I'm pretty sure Controlled Blink will be useful later, so I'll keep it.
Wait, what-
No.
NO!
Two critical acid shots! Patch didn't make it. The sad thing is that I didn't even make it to the Royal Jelly ;_;
And that's how my run ends.
Also, rage at EVERY IMAGE UPLOADER THAT WON'T LOAD.

Alas, we lost another to the Slime Pits.
Also, my strategy to beating it, in case anyone ever wants advice on this sort of thing.


[15:57] <Ramus> Anyway, here's the deal:

OW! It seems were all having bad luck with the Slime Pits at the moment.

Let's see if Patch will be lucky in my turn...

As we begin Patch is just beginning to explore the slime pits! Already it is becoming a rather slimy area. Lots of slime and the like.

Ramus and Sword Cleaver(Zengar) have already covered most stuff here so I'll cover only the key points of the slime pit trip.
(http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/562/picture1m.png)
First off, Patch's conjouration reached level 24! While battling a gang of slime creatures....

Also Patchy decided to use sense surroundings to look for hidden areas which were out of sight as she traveled through the dungeon.
(http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/4466/picture3y.png)
To a pretty good degree she was able to located most of the areas easily. Also her invocation increased to 3!
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/962/picture2qwo.png)
Second Floor! I don't quite like this combination! Too many accidic creatures, Oh well Patch too a gamble.

Took out the Acid Slime, then the Eye of Draining, then the brown ooze, and then the jelly.

Strange part was none of them woke up (except the acid blob only cause it could withstand a fire bolt)
(http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/9891/picture4z.png)

Third Floor, nothing interesting happened... May have run into some acid blobs, and other slimes, but nothing special... NEXT!
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9757/picture5oiy.png/)
Forth Floor also nothing special happened here.. more senseing more digging more slime killing....

Fifth Floor however was more interesting here.
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2729/picture6rfe.png)
First all...tons of slime creatures. Patch had to battle about 10 of these here alone..
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3144/picture7v.png)

During the fight, Patch's conjouration reached 25!
(http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/5030/picture9n.png)
Then a little while later, Patch her self reached level 25! Two more to go!
(http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/3432/picture10o.png)
Now a quick random fact Ramus forgot... Death Ooze can also make your body rot. But for them to do that. They must touch you. Luckly you won't let them get the chance if you play it smart.
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2870/picture11oto.png)
Also got fire magic up to 17 as well.

Also Mima gave Patchy another book. Guess what Zengar, it's the same one you got!
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4084/picture12mob.png)

After some digging, recharging and slime killing later Patch finally entered the last floor of the slime pit....
(http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3193/picture13w.png)
In this floor the space is open. Making it more dangerous. And it's filled with all sort of dangerous slime. But there is one slime down here that rules them all....The Royal Jelly We shall soon confront this strange, tasty substance.

Little did I know though that I was about to stir up a next of angry bees. As I was battling a death ooze, it ran into the royal jellie's chamber and as a result...Every slime creature in the area was alert and pretty much appered to be looking for patch now.

Patch had to run and fight while using the stairs to gain an edge...

As she kept fighting all the acid blobs and other jellies....
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6720/picture14s.png)

Conjouration is now level 26! One more level to go!

And when you think things can't get worse...
(http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/4322/picture15.png)
Yeah, the Royal Jelly's awake and very angry, and out in the open.

In the way, the royal jelly is like a boss. It has a big boat load of HP, can move very very fast, and can attack alot. But to top it all of.... Everytime you hit the royal jelly, it will release other little jellies that will aid him. Ranging from Azure Jelly, death Ooze and Acid Blobs. A very dangerous combo definetly....

The good part is though. The royal jelly cannot regenerate it's health. So take your time with it and look for an opening opprotunity....

Now's not the time though... too many slimes are alert and need to be removed. Plus there was an eye of devistation...not exactly what I want next to a royal jelly...

I want to exterminate it so badly... but...there just too much to fight down there to do so...

Sigh...

Well after a few more attempts Patch couldn't get too far, so she had to retreat up the floor and end her turn....
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/46/picture16r.png)

This concludes my run.

But just to note....

I kept hearing slurping sounds. I'm hoping this is just the royal jelly, cause... I mean usually that sound occurs when jelly's eat items.... *GASP*

Can't be possible....

Also be cautious. The slimes are awake and angry... Be prepared to the best of your ability.

And finally do whatever it takes to take down that Royal Jelly! As it's out in the open now.

Good luck!

Post by: Ramus on July 31, 2009, 01:27:10 AM
This is it, the battle against The Royal Jelly.  Now, before we go in, let's get a clear idea of what it can do.

It's HP is absurd for Crawl, and from what I can tell, is somewhere between 200 and 250.  It's speed is 16.  What does this mean?  Encumbered characters DIE.  Hasted characters are still too slow.  Hasted and swifted means you're moving about the same speed, except slightly slower.  Hasted, swifted, and with boots of running, you'll be ever slightly faster than it.  We don't have that.

It also out guns you.  It can hit you with three acid attacks per turn in melee.  To make matters worse, if you melee it, it has a chance of splashing acid on you.  Even better, every time you hit it, there's about a 75% it'll have offspring of about three other rank 1 slimes.  The kind that kill you.  Including acid blobs which can hit you from afar.

Remember, it's consistently killed the fire lord of hell, has a 50/50 rate on the cold lord of hell, and it takes the place as the second strongest monster in Crawl, only being beaten by Cerebus, the grand fire lord of hell who kills you with at most, three blows.  And that's for heavily armed fighters.

Let's do the impossible again.  With the proper music to go in the background. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RehK4qKKAjY&feature=PlayList&p=70F8ADE443A915A7&index=61)

Sadly for me, the stairs Patch is on is also the one where the Royal Jelly is lurking under.  Patch makes her way to another set of stairs.  She also charges that fire ball on the way there.

Cast swift and summon horrible things.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/180.png)

FRICKING AMBUSHED

Patch went down a different set of stairs only to be caught near by the Royal Jelly and its vast army.  Some blinking later and fireballs and Patch has managed to keep the enemies at bay.  Sadly, the Royal Jelly has been continually pumping out more fricking jellies and at a faster rate than Patch can kill.  All but a few of Patch's abominations are killed.

But wait, what's this?  A single bolt of fire managed to take it from moderately wounded to almost dead?  Could it be?  I can win this in twenty turns?

GO FOR IT!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/181.png)

YES.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/182.png)

Alas, our fears came true.  There were jellies in the vaults, eating the non-artifact items.  However, Patch has something more pressing right now.  She's currently at a quarter of her life, zero MP, and rotting.  See, the true danger of the Royal Jelly is not its speed, damage, or even insane amount of HP, it's the army that it has.  Thus the name, The Royal Jelly.  What to do?

Patchouli's Delayed Fireball (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlexn9xzsjd5fif)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/2b5b8b0632991b72cb6f5ff6c56c1be1.jpg)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/183.png)

Delay fireball the three blobs nearby and channeled energy from Mima.  Patch then blinked to an even less desirable spot.  Time to pull out the scroll of teleportation.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/184.png)

RNG, you're AWESOME!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/185.png)

Safety.  Down one potion of healing to stop that rot.  Patch sits here and recharges her magic while she heals.  But the job is not yet down.  There's still a lot of enemies to dispatch.  More so, we've got to salvage something from the vaults, hopefully the jellies haven't eaten everything.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/186.png)

Woo hoo, signs of the fact that not everything was destroyed.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/187.png)

Second vault is secure.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/188.png)

All but one is intact.  Plus, we have a surviving artifact in the fourth.

Let's break in.

Loot:
Staff of Fire, awesome for Patch as she's all about fire.
Book of Minor Magic [Fire], lame, dumping.
Dwarven Crossbow of Fire, lame, dumping.
+3 Pair of Gloves "Gadoitit", gives +3 str.  Okay, but we've got better gloves.
Book of Unlife (god gift):

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/189.png)

+0 mottled dragon armor of Kaysoirch, gives +3 strength.  Eh, okay for an artifact, we'll be using this to carry stuff back up.
Book of Air, useless...
Another book of air, joy...
Book of Warp, don't we already have one?
Wand of Disintegration, awesome.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/190.png)

To hell Patch goes.

And what do you know, there wasn't a single useful cloak or pair of boots.  Oh well, back to the surface (and with only one load to boot).  And since we won...

You just got pwn FTW! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NsnLfIAcs)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/191.png)

That's where I end this run.  Sure, Patch got another rune, but did we really pull anything decent from the Pits?  We lost a cloak, that's for sure.  Need some good boots and cloak.

Post by: Totaku on July 31, 2009, 06:31:12 AM
OK one last round for me before I'm done for the day....

So where to begin....

Ah yes, I started by looking for a cloak to replaced the ruined one that was used up during the slime pit exploration.....

Patch only had to go down to floor 6 to find it...
(http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/7153/picture1x.png)
(http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/3395/picture2b.png)

I guess you know what I bought. All I had to use was one remove curse scroll and it's set.
(http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/4861/picture3c.png)
I also payed one last visit to the slime pit...

Why? Because I noticed Ramus forgot something....

The potion of mutation. Ramus you know that those potions have some importance even with the risks. I perffer getting them. Also grabbed those gloves that weren't so good and the book of warp.

Brought them back up....
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9269/picture4htp.png)
And then Patch went to the vaults.... why? Were going to the Crypts! But for what reason would be be going there? We already dealt with everything right? Unless...

(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/5026/picture5t.png)

Yup! Today I'm feel like in the mood for something differnt! So were going to one of the more natourious dungeons!!!!

The Tombs of the Acients!

I will let you know now, that this is uncharted territory for me and Ramus as far as I recall. None no much about the area except that it is filled with mummies... tons of them!!!

Sure mummies aren't tough in general, and they can be eleminated easily. But one thing we have to worry most is the mummies' curse!

Let's begin with the garden varaity mummy. Weak, slow, but can be a problem. As usual killing a mummy results in cursing you...

How? A curse from a mummy can do so many things to you....

It can curse your equipment, make your body rot, it can make your body slow down. It can drain you, it can make you paralzed, convulse in pain, it can even send you to the abyss, but it can also make your potions decay!

It's a matter of what kind a mummy you confront and what kind of luck you have. This is a serious problem since this place is swarming with them...

So what is there to do?

Simple let your summons take the heat! By summoning creatures to attack the mummy. They will recive the curse instead! And you won't suffer from it at all. Sounds simple. But you'll see what kind of mummies one must deal with at the tomb....
(http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/8297/picture8x.png)
Mummy gaurdians

They about the same as the mummy, but they can arm themselves with weapons if they find any. Again, use summons on these or prepare to face being cursed!
(http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/3144/picture7v.png)
I've also mentioned sphinxes befroe so I don't need to explain about them again and I'll cover the mummy priest later... however while I was fighting one...
(http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/2861/picture9.png)

Patch has now officially mastered Conjouration!

As we travel further to the inner section of the crypt we confront another enemy....

The Mummy Priest.

Mummy Priests are pretty dangerous.

They have the power to summon the powers of hell to wreak your health! And can smite you. And to top it all of... they can summon small demons and ghosts to aid them. They can make things pretty hard...

This is why as you can see summoning abominations is key to surviving.

They are strong and can usually rip things apart when they're are enough of them. But it's also key that when you tell your creature to attack that you know a little bit about your surroundings cause the last thing you'd want to do is alert too many powerful mummies...

Also when tackling mummies like them. it's smart to run out of range of the mummy cause it may still try to hurt you badly.Just make sure the abominations are doing their job.

(http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/744/picture13t.png)
After figting some mummies, Patch's fire magic went up to 18!
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5637/picture14y.png)
Crap! Fell into a zot trap just as I passed the gate!

Now I have to find a way outta here...

(http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/7564/picture15z.png)

And so we see Lugonu's (Yukari, wasn't it?) Alter, if one were to be desperate they may ask for his help to escape this evil area...but then again....after all Mima has given Patch, what sain magician would switch now?! We'll find the long way out thanks...
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2967/picture16s.png)

The world has shifted in the abyss.... meaning new things to see and find.... let's continue to find the exit...

I will note I had to fight a few demons here and there....no biggie...
(http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/149/picture17.png)
FRREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Once she escaped from that demonic place. Patch was back in the tombs to continue her quest...

As I can't stress enough. Summon is your friend here. And bringing all your malformed creations and tentacle monsters here will benifit you! Also you may have noticed Patch's intellengence was drained a bit...

A side result from summoning horrible things. They will drain a little bit of Patch's brain power. But fear not it's only tempoary....

(http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/2824/picture20.png)
Now this here is the greater mummy. The worst mummy seen so far inside the tomb. And it's only the first floor! They are like mummy priest in terms they can summon the powers of hell and smite you. But they can all call forth a varaitiy of more troublesome undead minions and higher rank demons!

These guys should be treated with caution! They tend to love to beat you down even when surrounded by  your summons at times.  If you have to, get out of the mummy's line of vision while your abomination do most of the dirty work.
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6119/picture21r.png)
The mummies were guarding a book? Was it an awesome book?

Sadly no... for it was a book of flame (conjouration). Rookie stuff....pass...
(http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/1669/picture19m.png)
And then finally Patch found a set of stairs that went down! They're the only ones too? What gives?

What could be on floor 2?
(http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/4910/picture22.png)
Well Crap! This looks like a serious problem. Were in the middle of an open space, with mummies in different areas! And to top it off a unique cyclops and some death yaks to the left.

I performed a massive summon fest to take on these guys. But sadly the mummies were beatting most of them down. I made some progress but there then mummy preists and greater mummies came on into view...

Now it's become a problem... time to pull up mummies from the second to the first floor!

Well it works at least it works though it's a bit tough....
(http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/5161/picture23.png)
Patch has to blink after luring mummies up the stairs just to avoid getting beat down by them... It's likely going to be a slow process so... My turn however came to an end...

So now it's up to whoever wants to take the courage to help patch take on cleaning out the mummies that are likely to surround the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Here's the file...
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wzmgtyny2zo (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wzmgtyny2zo)

And I'm signing up for another round!

Which I'll play later(like when I wake up tomorrow), so Ramus, if you or anyone else wants to dance with mummies, sign up and I'll let you go ahead.

Sending devastation upon my enemies with abominations and shadow creatures?  Good deal.

However, I'm going to busy for a good chunk of the day, so I can't guarantee when I'll get the chance to play.  If anyone else wants to go, I recommend doing so, Patch is fully armed with an insane amount of power, more than she should have at this point.

So long as you don't get too hasty (in both the definitions) and don't mishit keys twice in a row (like I did), you should be fine.

Ok it appers some of you posted while I was playing...maybe I should announce my play before going on....

And as I said, this morning I would go through another round in mummy land if no one could play when I woke up.

So let's continue the story...
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/3636/picture1asv.png)
In this episode, Patchouli continue to dance with the mummies as she tries to clear a way to enter the 2nd floor....
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/5118/picture2jvl.png)
It took some time and patients, but eventually it would pay off...

Now with the room clear enough Patch could continue her journey through the tomb....
(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5/picture3v.png)
And it appears mummies were come from door ways that had been opened allowing them to come in her in groups... There might be goods in them too...
(http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/655/picture4ppn.png)

While not seen here it's important to know that this floor was filled with also more greater mummies. Which almost happened to surround Patch once. I was fortunate enough the summon abominations lasted as long as they did to stall one greater mummy while I weakened the other...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4711/picture5lyd.png)
What's this? An unknown potion? I wonder what it could be there isn't many left to identify.... I suppose I'll drink it.

Hey I feel full! It was a potion of Proridgge. These potions are like the equivalant to consuming a bread or meat. So they can act as a good alternative food scourse though they are rare to come by...
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7118/picture6unr.png)
Oh an what mummy tomb wouldn't be complete without traps.....tons of them! Yes there are tons of trap in the small rooms in the tomb and it makes traveling difficult....
(http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/7154/picture7s.png)
But what was already really strange was...there was only one other set of stairs....and they go up? What gives?

What choice do we have, we might find something out of this....hopfully...
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/310/picture8pbf.png)

Whatcha know a hidden path inside of what I thought was the complete area of the tomb's first floor....and a bunch of greater mummies....They surely know how to mess up a magician's day...

However the greater mummies managed to outsmart the abominations and get right next to patch and pin her in while one of them attacked...And because the abomination was too disracted by the tormenter that the mummy summoned...Patch had no choice....
(http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/9970/picture9fko.png)
This is just a small taste of what a mummy's curse can do to you. It's a dreadful thing to deal with. Let's be thankful nothing happened to her potions or equipment...
(http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8730/picture10s.png)
Did I also forget to mention that Greater Mummies and Mummy priests have the power to use Abjuration.... That's right, they know how to send summons away.
 Luckly they're only strong enough to make them last less as long instead of vanquishing instantly...
(http://img188.imageshack.us/i/picture12qjb.png/)
But made this floor section very hard was dealing with greater mummies. Because they came in waves one after another...

I seemed almost non stop. I was fortunate Patch's int returned so she could continue the summon fest. But with so many greater Mummies, Patch was stuck wainting as her summons had to do the dirty work..
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7484/picture13yur.png)
About 5 mummy waves later... PAtch continued her way down the hall and dealt with more greater mummies...(again)

One good thing I can say about this area is that your experience poll fills up super fast. I had the max amount before getting halfway through this hall...

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3334/picture14u.png)
Hey there Duane, whacha doing here? Duane is a big eared unique who's mainly a fighter with some basic spells. Not all that tough, but not all that easy either. Regardless though, he was exterminated easily.
(http://hhttp://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2780/picture15c.png)
Finally some stairs, after all that insane mummy exterminating. Well back to the second floor...

And yes, it turned out this took me to a hidden area on floor 2...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7242/picture16uqx.png)
Lots of rooms were down here...and so were a ton of traps... And yes, Patch stepped on a zot trap anf got frozened, but her abominations suffered the most. :P

(http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8968/picture17m.png)

Ah finally a set of stairs to go down....Just how much more much patch put up with....

Before leaving though, Patch decided to explore some more... she found an unknwown scroll and ID it..
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2020/picture18q.png)

This scroll is mainly good for turning a regular weapon you have into a vapolized weapon. Meaning a regualr sword can become a sword of slicing, ect.

Also if you enchant a weapon when you use this. It will usually make it hold that enhantment permamently. Like say you use fire brand. Then use this scroll. Your sword will permamently be a sword of flaming.

Get the picture? Well too bad this didn't come earlier...

(http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/7489/picture19.png)

And just when when she exterminated a flying skull before going down stairs.... Mima gave Patch another gift!
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8743/picture20g.png)

It's about time!!! Patch needed this badly! I know I told Ramus to use this before. But I really am serious about defect missles. It works good esecially against enemies who cast spells or any projectile weapon. It's a stronger version of repel missle. Doen't work on acid though, but I know it's good against most spells.

Patch forgot Mephetic Cloud and learned this...
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1987/picture22i.png)

3rd floor! Now we got another floor full of mummies at the start...can't be bad right?
Well actually the only hard part was patch's int was at 31 at this point. And still summoning. The mummies kept coming wave...
(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6099/picture23d.png)
After wave....
(http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/6233/picture24m.png)
After wave...

The mummies seem to be coming non stop...I even had to fight a few preists among the guaridans... pure madness I tell you...

Fortunately after a 30 or so mummies, they seem to stopped for a bit. Patch advanced forward and got the shoes....were they worth it?
(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3558/picture26l.png)

At least they're better...

Patch traveled to the left and dispatched some mummy preists
and reached a door way patchy found...
(http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/4831/picture27.png)

A vault full of money! So yeah, she picked up the gold, the scrolls and ate the apples..

Moving onward...

On the right side.... more mummy preist were exterminated...

And another door... inside?
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2418/picture28q.png)

A vault full of goods! and I do mean some nice goods...

Lots of differnet books including  book of ice...
(http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/6590/picture29.png)
A manual on Air Magic...

An awesome ring of Kuur which was a ring of substance with +3 str bonus.

And also problably the best item I found here was...
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6364/picture30t.png)
A Gourdman Amulet!

An amulet of Gourdman has the power to make even the meat of creature you eat so good that it'll make you consume them till your fully engourged. And to top it off, it can prevent you from getting sick.

But for the effects to take full effect, you have to wear it for a while...

Patch could of used it long ago... but that doesn't mean she shouldn't have it now. It's never too late to carry this amulet around...
(http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/5153/picture31.png)
This sword has draining effects, has +3 AC. I wonder if it's any good though?

Also found an elven chainmail of cold resistance +2. Patch's magic wasn't affected by much, but her summoning horrible things was....so I don't think she should get it. (besides she's got better stuff as is...)

Finally there was one last thing that occured... a Greater mummy snuck into the vault and attempted to attack Patch. And while fighting it and summoning her abominations.... something special happend....

PATCH HAS NOW MAXED OUT to level 27!

As of this point now Patch can no longer level up but can still gain experience for her other spells and skills...

but yeah she's pretty much top level now. After resting my turn came to an end. And here's a picture with her at level 27.
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/976/picture33erw.png)

For the next person who plays note this:

Patch is heavily emcumbled. She will need to drop off some of the goods she's collected back to the hive or some place like that. She can't carry much more...

There is still more to the tomb, be sure to look everywhere there could be more tureasure....

Be ready for anything.

And also when not in the crypt or tomb...activate gordman and stuff your face like crazy on corpse meat!

Finally do note patch's int has been drained a bit summoing horrible things.... I still expect it her int to return, but if it become a burden don't be afriad to drink a potion of restore ability or royal jelly. We got plenty.

Let's get going again with Crawl.  Patch is at 101% with the weight she's carrying.   That should be enough right?  I say nay, we push it to the limit with 110%.


(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/192.png)

BAD BAD!  119% weight being carried, too much!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/193.png)

Jackpot.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/194.png)

This halberd sucketh.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/195.png)

I'm so sick of all of these mummies.  I'd just like to grab that rune.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/196.png)

Woo hoo.  Rune retrieved, time and space is functional in this area again, etc.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/197.png)

Count that, that's five runes.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/198.png)

Awesome.

Make a second stop at the Tomb.  And now to go to the Abyss.

1.  Drop all weapons that Patch won't wield directly, we aren't going to retrieve if they fall out of the air in the Abyss.
2.  Drop any elemental wands.  They don't do jack against demons.
3.  Pick up food.  15 rations of meat and 3 rations of bread cause I'm paranoid.  Also, ring of sustenance, ALWAYS needed unless you're undead.

Into the darkness and evil that I can call home, known as the Abyss.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/199.png)

But first we've got to find a gate to the Abyss.  In all likelihood, there'll be one here.  So let's beat up Geryon while we're at it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/200.png)

Whoops, looks like I edited that image file at some point and replaced Geryon with Yuka.  Oh well.  YUKA!  YOU'RE GOING DOWN!

Two fire bolts and she's down to moderately wounded.

Yuka:  Relinquish hope, thou prissy ill-breeding flax-wrench.

Yeah, it's Yuka, in medieval format.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/201.png)

And she can multiply!  Also know as a Beast.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/202.png)

Hentai violence!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/203.png)

Alas, she doesn't last long against them.  Nothing ever does.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/204.png)

Fire hell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/205.png)

Yaktaur (better known as Yaktard) Captain.  Think of a centaur knight, except it has axes, a crossbow, and its fatter.  Yes, Yak people are native to Hell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/206.png)

The Iron City of Dis.  Think of it as the Manhattan of hell.  Pandemonium is like the Washington DC of hell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/207.png)

That's a vanilla Yaktard.  Pretty much the same as the captain, just weaker.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/208.png)

Negative hell, Paladins laugh at this place.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/209.png)

Cold hell, where Patch is likely going to end up.  Is known to contain the horrible being known as the goldfish.

Anyway, as I got told over IRC, there is no gate to the Abyss here.  But still, I've got about 2000 turns left, so...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/210.png)

Who's ready to invade hell like a badass? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwkG7Uc4OM&feature=related)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/211.png)

Welcome to the bluest hell you'll ever see.  We don't want to stick around before the over looking evils will smite us with the powers of hell at their leisure, so every staircase you see you want to immediately head for.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/212.png)

They may also send demons and undead after you.  The worst of which are the ice fiends.  You don't mess with fiend demons.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/213.png)

And you thought I was lying about the goldfish.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/214.png)

Gift from Mima, a book that we really don't need.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/215.png)

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/Racoon4567/Motivation/Irony.jpg)

But it doesn't make it any less painful for me.

Patch, not ready for hell yet.

Hell is a goldfish.

Ah thanks Ramus, though I may need your help with one more thing. But it'll have to wait till your online. We can talk about it later like on IRC.

Anyway, it's time for the next chapter to begin....

In this episode, Patch continues her quest in the tombs.
(http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/109/picture1qks.png)

There isn't alot to cover though as Ramus explained most of it already...

Long  story short, more mummy vanquishing Hooray! (http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5851/picture2llj.png)

Also I picked up a new pair of shoes! +2 Boots.
(http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/4623/picture3ypv.png)
Finally got the golden rune and left!

Course I had to return once more after dropping off my stuff to pick up the books and stuff that were left there... After collecting them, I took the rune back to the lair with the other runes and dropped off a few things before venturing down the lair...
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5844/picture4diu.png)
Floor 24....

Ok Ramus, I was off count by 2 floor... -_-; Sorry about that Ramus.

But yes on floor 24 there are 3 gate ways on the same floor. The gates to hell, abyss and Pandamonium.

Also I leveled up PAtchy's fire to level 19 Just one more to go before I make start making a change in plans...
(http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/9703/picture6j.png)
Down in the bottom left area is the gates to Pandamonium and the abyss.
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8263/picture7w.png)
Here's a map of floor 24's layout. There are actually 4 gatways...

Where I'm located is the bottom left, and the blue spots near Patch's location are the gates to the abyss and Pandaland.

In the top center is the gatway to hell...

But what about the one on the bottom right?

That's just a simple archway where the Bazzar Caravan once use to be... That's long gone...

Now let's continue our trip to the...

ABYSS!!!
(http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/9055/picture8i.png)

Now why are we going down here? It's because down here in this dreadful place is actually a rune!

Where? Who knows, they say you have a better chance finding it if you can last for a long time down in the abyss. But to be honest, I'm going to play it safe for Patch's frail sake...

Cause the rune can still be found, it just may take longer...
(http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/7203/picture9r.png)
Ah....this is why everyone's loves (or hates) this place... Just look at that mob of demons. They all must be adoring fans of patchouli. ^^;

Hasting my way out of this mess...

Just as I hasted, the world changed around patch (go figure...)

Patch has been picking up potions here and there along with some bread so far, she's fairing out well. Just how long can she put up with it?
(http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/9522/picture10l.png)
And what's this? An Angel in a place like this? And he doesn't look happy.

Angels are servants of The Shining One (AKA Shikieki?), angels themselves are imposing if confronted at lower levels, but at this point of the game they're easy pickings....that is...if Patch had some magic.....running....

Curses, I forgot to remove my consevation radiation amulet now I'm mutating....
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/654/picture11m.png)
Now that not bad though. It's like an instant gourdman! Cool! Now Patch is honing in on her youkai instincts. The only catch is veggies will provide a little less nutrition. But it's bearly noticable...
(http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/9413/picture12o.png)
Awesome a cure mutation potion. I seems to be finding these alot lately. This may be useful if Patch gets too badly mutated...

Patch then found a gateway out of the abyss. She needed to rest before jumping back into the den of lions....

After fully recovering, she returned into the abyss...
(http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/744/picture13t.png)
This here is a Deava. A high rank angel with the power to smite. Deava's also have a good load of HP too and can hit hard. It took a few bolts of fire to take him out. But Patch got something good out of it....

A long sword of holy Wrath.

Oh and that red firey dog down there is a hell hound. They can breath fire. But that's about it.  They're weak to ice. :P

I also found some scrolls of weapon enchantment 3 and 1 down here. Used them with the new sword.... Still mostly this traveling in the abyss has been more of a game of hide and seek.

OH CRAP, it's my ghost! I'm not ready for him! HASTE NOW!
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2391/picture14w.png)

It seems Patch keeps switching between her Ortus amulet, Mutation resistance, and conversation amulet alot.... smoke demons really make thing hard when they sticky flame. And the demons that can mutate you.... plus magic radiation.... sigh.... so much happens here....

What can make this trip any worse? An executioner!

Executioners are high rank demons who mainly consist of a head that have many rotating arms with blades on the end of them. They are dangerous melee beasts! When they attack along they can do 2-3 hits. But when they haste themselves that's when they're a deadly threat doing between 4-6 hits. Thier dammage is moderate pure hit, but it builds up rather quick. Let's be thankful for a shield...

After taking out that feindish beast, Patch had to find the exit and with alot of luck she managed to find the way out...and so Patchouli rested....
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2870/picture18jwp.png)
And as of this point. Patch has passed the 5000 mark, thus ending her turn...

Anyone else want to take a hand at the abyss?

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mfjn4mmm4zd

And I'm signing up to play again...which I'll do sometime tomorrow... so I'll leave the file open for anyone to participate in until I say I'm ready to play.

Post by: Ramus on August 01, 2009, 08:38:43 PM
Okay, who's ready for 5000 turns of hardcore survival in the Abyss?  Not Patch.  Not yet anyway.  First off, she's encumbered, which is bad on many, many levels in the Abyss.  Secondly, too many unnecessary stuff, we're getting rid of books, useless wands, and every single sword except for the two falchions.

But wait, what's this?  Unexplored territory on floor 19?  Full of water?  Good thing we have levitation.

X-Ray vision says there's nothing but water.  Could be the big fish vault (which I've already killed 5 of).  Lord help me if there's goldfish.  Levitation GO!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/218.png)

Friggin' yay.

So back at the hive, Patch gets rid of all books (minus the tome of destruction, that's useful on a constant basis).  All swords are dropped, Tukima's Dance will not work as I'm not going back to pick up swords.  Fully charged wands are taken, namely teleportation, disintegration, enslave, and paralysis.  Also, 14 meat rations and 4 bread rations.  8800+ turns is a long time to stay in the Abyss.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/219.png)

The realm of the traitorous deity, Lugonu.  Everything is corrupt, wrong, and horrible.  There is no good or evil, just pure chaos.  And I'm at home here.  Note the comment under my avatar, and the avatar itself.  Celestian.  Daily irony, now back to work.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/220.png)

The Abyss.  I'll be giving pointers as I go.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/221.png)

First off, power levels are not consistent in this place.  The hellwing is a rank 3 demon if I remember right, the alien looking thing near me who's name I won't even try remembering how to spell can be killed by a level 1 character.  Thus how I managed to get a level 1 vampire chaos knight to level three and find a rune.

Whatcha-meh-callit can just run fast and hit you multiple times for almost no damage.  The hellwing does little more than throw fire and teleport you.  Note the teleport.  For level 1 chaos knights, this is golden.  Hellwings will teleport you out of bad situations.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/222.png)

Smoke demon.  Can smite, can hit you with sticky flames, and blasts of steam.  All of them hurt.  KILL IT ASAP.

Press E to find out how many turns you've got left.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/223.png)

...and you get this message.

Crawl, you suck.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/224.png)

Fireball.  It works.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/225.png)

Random indeed.  Doors that lead to no where.  No where at all.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/226.png)

It's a dwarf reaver.

I still hate you Totaku.  Luckily, I sneak away.

So random demon killing later and a Abyss regeneration (it does this at random)...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/227.png)

STALKER

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/228.png)

Cacodemon.  It's a lot like Homer Simpson.  Fat, lazy, and overrated.  Despite being a rank 1 demon (highest rank before domain lords), it's pretty weak and really only summons minor demons.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/229.png)

Leaving early is for wusses.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/230.png)

Another one less than ten squares away, Crawl is telling me something.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/231.png)

Abyss regeneration.  From the looks of things, I'm at the 2000 turn mark so far in the Abyss.  About now, I have about a 10% of a map generating the rune.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/232.png)

Again?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/233.png)

Non-randart.  Go for it!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/234.png)

This mace randomly changed its pluses and minuses every few turns while wielded.  It also can't be cursed (yayz).  We've got a better sword.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/235.png)

Oh shi- it blocks every stupid shot I aim at it.  ;_;

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/236.png)

TOTAKU'S GHOST!  WHY WON'T IT SHOW UP WHEN I'M NOT BUSY?!  Time for teleportation.

Only to be smited and hit by a lucky shot from Totaku's ghost...

How well does deflect missiles work again?

Oh well, a Daeva and fricking evil Dwarf of doom will end anyone's Abyss trip, or even dungeon trip.  At least not with spellcasters.  Regardless, follow the general guidelines here and you should be fine.  Unless you run into a Daeva and Totaku's ghost at the same time.  Then you're royally fucked.

No worries.

Also, there are no goldfish in the Abyss.  I checked.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: Totaku on August 02, 2009, 01:24:00 AM
Well it's my turn so let's see what I can do here....
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/203/picture1rgu.png)
To begin, I didn't quite follow Ramus's guideline. ^^; I just simply dove back into the abyss. ^^;;

Why? well I had a few rings that could help even out the weight issue...

One was that ring of substance that gave patch a small boost in str. And the other was the ring of Rarth. Because of it's levitation.

So how can leviation be useful?

Well for starter is can actually make you you fly over water and lava. But it also make your invitory lighter. Just what I need to keep myself going! Just note that it does cost a little bit of energy to use....

The trip started off slow...

Most of the time Patch spent the course of time killing small demons and watching where she traveled. And if things got ugly, she hasted herself to get away from the demons and abominations...

Then when she confronted an orange brain an killed it. Pathch decided to chop it up and eat it!

Note eating orange brains is a risk taker! As it can alter you in ways! But at this point in the game....mutations are the only way Patch is going to get any better...or worse...

So what happened after she ate the brain?
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4576/picture2aoc.png)

She apperently developed a resistance for the cold! And to top it off! She's now robust!

Patch now has 107 HP!

It's also important to note that Patch found some potions of mutation and cure mutation down there as well. She consumes the mutation potion...
(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8615/picture3wyp.png)

She's now smarter!

Now a for some of the most annoying things of this trip...

Ice imps....not because they could do anything to patch. But, because they kept damaging potions now and then... those little boogers are an annoyance!

Smoke Demons... These guys seem to love to sticky flame patch alot! This result in some scroll being lost to the flames....Still not an bad threat but still they know how to ruin one's day...
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5740/picture9gjr.png)
And finally....Sun Demons....
Yes, that yellow glowing light with legs....  No matter where I was in the abyss I was bound to run into these guys....

These guys don't do much when out of range but when they find out they'll start running up to you and if they get close enough...IT BURNSSS!!!

So yeah there were times Patch just put them out with bolts of ice....and there were times patch had no choice but to haste and run...But either way... one thing is noted... where ever patch went....a sun demon was near...almost all the time.....

Patch was starting to suffer from magic radiation again... time to switch to an amulet of prevent mutation.... It helped protect patch from some of the mutations...but not all of them...

Her muscles flexable. Which means she now has better dex, but worse str....

And also she felt uncertain...which meant...Teleportitis! What does that do? Well the simplest way to put it is that it make you teleport at random! This can be a good or bad thing. Personally I find this a bit of a problem, but for now in the abyss it's saved me on a few occasions....

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9494/picture4nfm.png)
Keep in mind what Patchouli had gotten so far...

After lots of travel and countless running, resting and demon slaying....

Patchouli found a embroiled cloak, could this be something good?
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1598/picture5www.png)
Heck yeah it is!

This cloak allows Patchouli to protect her items from damage to some degree form the elements! Now Patch needs not to worry about smoke demons and ice imps anymore!

The only other thing she had to worry about are Draconians. Since they came in all differt types.. But I'm not covering them till later... Let's just say they are strong and require some work to handle....

Eventually after some more demon and abomination slaying...
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7907/picture6cad.png)

Alright! Now it's the crowning moment of truth! Let's hope Patch can find a safe spot.

After finding a small area where it seem no demons were near, Patch called upon Mima's power...

She forgot, Ozucubu's Armor, Repel Missles, and Conjoure Flame.

This left her with enough magic points to learn....

FIRE STORM!

This is the first time I actually got it with a high rating. Alone it has a great success rate. But with a staff of wizadry, it increases to Excellent!

Let's give this a test somewhere....

Patch find a mid rank demon among a group and decide to test her spell on it...
(http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4171/royalflare.png)
Sun Sign [Royal Flare]!
(ok so it's not flashy, Ramus used the image I had in mine, but still thanks for finding me something)
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4146/picture7d.png)

Now that's what I call real fire power! Smiting range charateristics!  A 5-6 tiles blast zone filled with roaring heat! And  to top it all off it releases flaming vortexts that can further burn anything they come in touch with!

This my dear friend is one epic spell and Patchouli was meant for it!

(Just remember it clost tons of MP...use it wisely.)

Also after so much hasting and other unperdicable radiations...Patchouli's magic was weakend and she began to deterioate...

This is over the top... Patch needed to get rid of those ASAP. So she ended up consuming her two cure mutation potions she found while down there...
(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/1080/picture11a.png)
This was the end result...
It's sad, she lost a bunch of good things, but it was what needed to be done if she wanted to stop suffering from the bad effects...

After a long time traveling through the crazy world of thee abyss being randonly teleported, fighting demons, and running.... it finally happens...
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5214/picture8uqt.png)
After the world shifts in one occasion....Patchouli winds up right near the Abysmmal Rune of zot! (Right near 5000 turns stuck in the abyss)

This was her chance! Patch needed to get the Rune now and get out of there.... Patch was overloaded, but decided to resort to her Rauth ring to keep the weight from crushing her as she levitated... while trying to find an exit...

After countless demons chasing her and having to fight them off.. she finally came across a gate way and escaped!
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/83/picture10c.png)
And so with that Patchouli, returned up to the lair... and in a total of 5800 turns...she placed the rune down in the collection she has been gathering (making a total of 6 runes)...thus ending her turn...

What is left to do now?

There is still Hell. A dangerous place with 4 different regions composed of ice, fire, draining and iron..

And then there's Pandemonium, the demon capital.

And finally, the Zot Realm itself....

What's in store for us? Stay Tuned!

My advice: If you feel we're ready I say we should go to hell and visit Cocytus once more. I don't think we can face more death as strange as death by a gold fish, but still... :P

Other than that if you feel we need to stock up on stuff I suppose a revisit to the abyss wouldn't hurt either.

Choice is yours.

Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 37, MoTK : 2
Post by: barasia on August 02, 2009, 07:09:56 AM
hi there. i returned from China.
and i found this thread. very surprised to see it still alive.

Questions

1. how do you change appearance in the game again?
please post this tip at the first post of thia thread?

2. how to kill Anateus of the Cocytus hell....
tip: HE CAN'T SEE INVISIBLE.
Assasins can land several backstabs, even when he's awake. i was so amazed when i first found out his weakness.

3. Fire Storm SUCKs.
use: Poison cloud(spell or rod) + ignite poison.

why?
fire storm alerts creatures.
poison cloud and ignite poison doesn't.
fire storm only creates a 3 tile fire in a tight hallway.
poison cloud will create the standard 9-10 tile cloud in a tight hallway.
plus they are much easier to use, less hunger, more success.

4. i found out a cheap and cheat way to save artifacts.
i save them just for curiosity but i am aware they spoil the fun of the game.
the artifacts i collected over my adventures include:
Spriggan's Knife(lol no bonuses when used by spriggans)
Assasin's boots(most epic boots ever)
Assasin's blowgun
Sword of Power (best item for warriors. Max Enchant is +20, +20)
Sword of Doom Knight +13 +13. (good for death knights)
Riing of Mage
Vampire's Tooth
both Staffs of Dispater and Asmodeus
spear Wyrmbane (slay drag)
Glaive of Prune (lol)
Glaive of the Guard (epic)
Sword of jihad (the angry stat makes it meh)
Mitril Axe "Arga" *speed  +10 +6(best time to be a dwarf!)
+7 +6 Sceptre of torment (Torments regardless of torment resistance. Epic weapon for mummies and high level Demons)
+3 +11 Wrath of Trog
+10 +4 trident of Octopus King
+5 +5 mace of Brilliance *holy
+9 +12 sling Punk *frost
+8 +8 bow of Krisna "sharna"*speed (centaurs ftw!)
Singing Sword (meh)
+13 +13 Scythe of Curses
dagger Morg
Sword of Zonguldrok (creates hostile zombies. useless sword then. unless you dont mind killing zombies)
+2 Hat of the Alchemist (rF, rC, rElec MR) (best hat ever)
Gauntlets of War (you should have seen this already)
Cloak of Flash
Cloak of starlight
Robe of archmagi
(also other randart artefacts, some better than these unique artifacts. and a ton of spellbooks including the Necromicon and Annihilations and full set of manuals for all skills, and cloned legendary decks of wonders with 4 Exp cards. and a ton of potion of gain stats and gain exp...the list goes on.)

i think thats it.
i still have more to go and collect, including the elusive Staff of Olgreb. i had it once, but that was b4 i found of how to save artifacts. the +10 shield BullsEye was also epic. also that "+20 something artifact Weird looking armour which name i forgot".......
if any of you have other artifacts, plz give the save file to me as i like to collect them.

if you like, i can set up a save file to download to include an artifact of your choice.


5. Chaos monsters in Abyss is a new monster.
i came across one......
not very interesting apparently. i killed it too quickly to see what it can do other than miss me all the time.

6. the Crawl 0.5 apparently is supposed to have new vaults including Sewers and watnot.
but i didn't encounter it in the tiles ver.
maybe its in thte ASCII ver.
can anyone who isn't playing tiles confirm this?

7. max gain stat is +14. (gah! why did they put a limit!)
so if you have more than 14 potions of gain Dex for example, its useless.



sign me up too. i wont cheat, promise!
in fact. let me take on Panda Zoo.
those new unique pandemonium lords look kinda funny.

Post by: Totaku on August 02, 2009, 08:03:02 AM
Well here's a nice face to see for a change. ^^

Anyways welcome aboard.

And yes we are using 0.4.5 mainly because we can't transfer the saves to 0.5 when it was released a while ago (which was during when we were playing this crawl relay).

It's been mostly an uphill battle but I glad other wish to give patchouli a go.

I would like to point out though that Patchouli is mainly skilled within the field of fire, ice, and summoning, (Let alone mastered Spellcasting and conjouration). And in this late point in the game I don't think we'll have much time to practice on poison (it's only level 2 or 3). Besides as of right now, Patch has been wreaking havoc as is with her new magic. XD

Oh and we have a Suika(Dorf Warrior) run as well.

As for now I follow what Koishi said and get v0.4.5, make sure to get the sprite sheet Ramus placed up a few post ago and from there just replace the tile file with that and follow anathe's instructions for 0.4.5. Now that hard..

Afterward just wait till Ramus and I get our turn done. Shouldn't take long once Ramus is up.

I see Barasia is also discovering the power of gapping items between games. It starts losing it's fun after the first time.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 43, MoTK : 6
Post by: barasia on August 02, 2009, 12:39:13 PM
after reading up abit on the previous posts, i feel kinda dissapointed in the handling of elven halls, and Slime pits. i know it could?ve gone better.

so here's a tip the next time any of you want to be a spellcaster.

MUST HAVE SPELLS:

Alistair's Intoxication.
found in Book of Party tricks.
Transmigration and poison based.
why?
as said in the description, this spell turns brain matter into alcohol for everyone that even  looks at you!
compared to ARSEFART cloud and Mass Confusion, this spell has 100% success rate on all intelligent creatures. (exlcuding undeads and demons and beasts in general)
humans, elves, orcs, centaurs, yaktuars, trolls, ogres, draconians are all effected.
even yourself will get drunk immeadiately, so an amulet of clarity is needed.
(or the right mutation)
this spell is INVALUABLE in orc mines and elven halls, and in any army of said creatures.

It is also EPIC in Vaults8, since all those guards will also get drunk.
who cares about drawing them up a level!. just intoxicate them and slip away to the treasure vault or STAB them(if you are a Ninja Wizard)


Ignite poison
found in book of Fire.
Fire/Transmigration
as the name implies, it makes everything with the name "poison" go BOOM like in Kirby's Reimu's [Hax sign] "Burn Everything"
Dont be carrying potions of poison!
Best used in Snake Pits and Hive.
this spells makes those levels EASY MODOE.
you can also easily create fire clouds in conjuction with a Conjure Poison cloud.
such a combo alerts creatures to a MINIMUM.

abjuration
the ONLY thing Summonings are good for.

Selective Amnesia
for followers of Vehumet or other gods.

Dispel Undead
Ghosts, zombies, undeads are no longer a problem with Reimu's spells.

Detect creatures
You should all know how useful this spell is by now.

Shatter
in book of Earth (i think).
Great for alerting every monster in the level to your direction.
GREAT FOR DESTROYING STONE WALLs.
useful in Labyrinth(thats cheating!), Tombs3 (go straight for the treasure!), and going Straight for the Orb of Zot, skipping most of the fight.....well.... if you're fast enough.
Especially good in Hell, where you want to MAKE A BACK DOOR in the Gahenna Hell to get straight to the rune.
Have ability to even kill those BEHIND walls.
Epic damage output.
Epic Hunger cost. (use staff of energy)
But a VERY USEFUL spell in both in damage output and in some special cases involving stone walls.

Ring of Fire
In book of Fire
Enchantment/Fire
A high level spell, that conjures a rotating storm of flame around you. Suits Patchy very well.
You can literally, WALK into an enemy and let the flames kill them.
With Swiftness/boots of running/quick mutation, you can leave a trail of fire everywhere that rivals the Fire Storm.

You become a Fire Tornado!

It makes you immune to fire, so no scroll burning, and every other fire attack has little effect on you.
High hunger cost too. Needs a staff of energy and a Ring of Mage to be effective.

Ozocubu?s (Letty Whiterock) Refrigeration
In Book of Ice.
Practise: Ice
Spell level 5.
This medium level spell is way more useful than it first looks.
It drains heat from everything that you see.
Especially useful in swarms in the early levels of dungeon. Best used when you see lots and lots of fleshy enemies.
Instantly kills ALL weak orcs you see in orc mines.
Quickly kills all elves in elven halls. Even the invisible ones(this applies to all invisible creatures).
Friendly creatures DON?T GET HOSTILE either when you hurt them using this spell.
Warning: Potions will freeze and get destroyed. Use Conservation or don?t bring them at all if you plan to use this spell regulary

My fav combo is using Alistair?s Intoxication and Letty?s Refrigeration in Elven halls, especially in elven hall7.
First, I barge into the middle, seeing all Annihilaters, demonologists, priests, deathmages etc.
I cast intoxication, to prevent them from doing a thing. (note this can cause some to fall into water and drown, or fall into lava and burn)
Then I freeze everyone at my own leisure at my own pace. A crystal orb of energy keeps the mana full so I can continually intoxicate everyone, as well as freeze and kill everyone.
You can kill all those high level elves in less than 50 turns, wracking up exp like a rocket.
This spell can effectively replace Ignite Poison for Snake pits and Hives, since this spell kills them just as easily.
It also makes Conjure Ice Cloud obsolete. Ice cloud(can be made by the ice Rod. So no point in wasting spell slots) is nice to have, but Letty?s refrigeration freezes everything you see, so you can be confident even when all your enemies are scattered all over the place.
I thus make is spell an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE.
At least. Until you get to Hell or Pandemonium, where demons can resist ice.

Thus, with Letty?s Refrigeration, Conjure Poison Cloud(or use Venom Rod), and Ignite Poison, you can deadly in both Ice and Fire very quickly, as these are relatively mid level spells.


Airstrike
In book of  Sky
Practise: Air
Every wizard needs a low level base attack spell.
Whether that be Magic dart, or Mystic Blast, it?s the staple bullet attack that all spellcasters use regulary, even to kill that lowly rat.
But like most conjurations spell, these spells have limited range.
Airstrike is my preference for basic attack, as it doesn?t even require Conjurations/Enchantments etc.
A low level (cost 4 mana) spell, that has Full range, you can use this on ANY creature you SEE.
I mean it.
Just stand behind a glass wall, and kill your enemies as they helplessly try to get around the glass wall.
This spell has all the characteristics of a Smite, and since it costs no piety, and is easy to cast, and can easily be upgraded with a Staff of Air, this spell is a Must Have.
Note: only for early gamers. This spell becomes obsolete quickly when it comes to swarms and powerful enemies.



To sum up. My spell list would look like this:
a-   Letty?s refrigeration
b-   Some conjuration spell or Airstrike. Subject to change as I level up.
c-   Poison cloud
d-   Ignite poison
e-   Other low level spells such as detect creatures, or forescry or alistairs intoxication.

Must Have items:

Crystal ball of energy
with high enough Evocations, you are Machine Gun Cannon, with unlimited ammo.

Staff of energy
prevents your Machine Gun Cannon from tiring and heating up. (ie, no Hunger cost!)

Ring of Mage
Gap Hax anyone?

with these 3 item combinations, you can be a good spellcaster.




you need to make a plan for your levelling.
in my opinion, its pointless of level up summonings any more. Patchy is strong as she is. i doubt there's much use for summonings late in the game, even in Pandemonium or Halls of zot.
Also before you summon abominations, you can counter the int drain using a ring of sustain ability. Its not always foolproof, but it helps.

if you have  MP problems, you solve it using an crystal ball of energy. with evocations leveled up, you will never need to worry about wasting turns to regain energy, as a single turn can restore energy to full (usually).




For those taking on Cocytus Ice hell, please note that Anateus(the big boss)'s weakness is that he CANT SEE INVISIBLE.
Stop wasting time killing him.
kill the Ice Fiends first, then use Invisible.
while he's shooting in the dark, grab the rune, or try your luck at stabbing him many times (Ninja Wizards WTF!). He's the only Hell boss where high level Assasins can kill easily in less than 5 hits. (1-2 stabs with Stabbing Lvl27 and a good knive/dagger)

Post by: Totaku on August 02, 2009, 09:34:43 PM
OK, I've come to inform you that Ramus had to cancel his run due to a situation and thus let me take my run.

He's asked to be placed behind Barasia until everything clears out...

Anyways, I now present you with my story...
(http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9356/picture1yai.png)
As our journey begins, Patch has just recovered from her trip to the abyss and now started to make preperations for her next journey....
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7294/picture2fgi.png)
She goes down to the Elven halls....

Down in the elven halls was a sparkling fountain...

She drank from the fountain... why? Because her main objective was to achive benificial mutations... (Yes, I'm trying to mutate patch on purpose to give her better stuff.)

A sparkling fountain can do pretty much any potion effect when you drink form it. So it's bound to either be very good...or very bad. From HP recover, to porrige, to rot, to mutations to even gaining a stat point. It all comes from these fountains!

And as for a pro tip for the future, if you drink from the fountain in the Elven Hall's last floor till it's all gone.. it removes the uncontrolable teleport force...

Patch then traveled down the dungeon....when she reached the room where the water surrounded a stone structure, she decided to investigate...

She levitated and entered.... when she reached the other side (may I mention she bearly made it?)

She found some gold, a teleport scroll and a mutation potion...

She consumes the mutation potion...
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8047/picture3ybv.png)
Now this is good...

Patch is now more accurate and now she can spit poisonous loogies!
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6145/picture4vzi.png)
She's looking pretty good so far....
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7571/picture5jql.png)
21st Floor. This is where the first gate to hell appears...

She enters...
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2970/picture6tsr.png)
Don't you just love that greeting...

Oh great just what I needed...

Yaktards to the bottoms...and Gey...uhh I mean PC-98 Yuka above.... And the Yaktard Captain's awake.... Time to take action...

Patch managed to take out the two awakened Yaktards until Yuka finally woke up...
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/628/picture8rag.png)
Looks like she's serious....

Anyways, PC-98 Yuka (AKA Geyron) is a extremly buff powerhouse. She has tons of HP takes a long time to take out and worse of all... she can use her powers to summon PC Yuka clones (Beasts)

Beasts (PC Yuka)on the other hand are a melee creatures who can be quite vicious in groups. Best be taken out as quickly as you can...

Most of the time Patch had to take creatures out of the abyss and fight them in the dungeon but Patch did successfully do something good...
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7923/picture9uls.png)
She managed to drag PC-98 Yuka out from hell into the narrow corridor.

This is when Yuka is not in her best condition. Because she cannot summon as many Yuka clones to aid her in battle. Thus rendering her an easy (but still long) fight.

(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5557/picture10xet.png)
Yuka attempt to summon her PC counter part onto the feild, but because she was located too far away and couldn't make contact with Patch she remained motionless...

It appears PC-98 Yuka's craving to eat Patchy...

Wasn't long after that when Patch took out PC 98 Yuka and only had to deal with the PC Yukas....as she blasted them with ice...
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4439/picture11olk.png)

Ice now level 8!

Now it's time to get the horn Yuka had in her collection and return to hell!
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9413/picture12o.png)

Patch had to deal with all different degrees of trouble when returning back down there. Mainly in the form of Tentacle monsters and giants.... She used her Deflect Missles to avoid thier rocks and ice!

Enchantment leveled up!

As we keep going Patch continue to deal with everything a whole gang of monsters appear....Obviously she needed to get some crowd control.... the only way she knew how...
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/3706/picture13y.png)
I am so loving this spell!  I don't care if it draws attention I haven't noticed it occuring that much

Also why are there hell knights all of a sudden? The answer was very obvious... a unique was near...
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3334/picture14u.png)
At the bottom right corner is Margery. A Powerful scorceress who controls a vairity of spells and is always accompanied by Hell Knights. She mainly kept her distants while launching bolts of fire. While the Hell Knights charged forward.

Due to Tentacle Monster complications. Patch had to retreat temporarly... Take out the tentacle monsters and then return to take out Margery and her crew.

(http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/429/picture15n.png)

During the battle Patch had to uses Mima's power to recharge...Evocation now up to level 8!

Not too long aftward Margary and the hell knight squad were exterminated...

Now it's time to open the gates to the other regions of hell!
(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3803/picture17q.png)
This here is Tartarus. The negative hell. Full of draining and undead.
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2089/picture18g.png)

This here is the iron city of Dis. A hell that freatures demons of different varaities and is full of deadly earth things as well...

(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/5953/picture19i.png)
This here is Gehanna. The Firey Hell, full of lots of fire demons. Nuff said.
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3928/picture20i.png)
And finally our first destination we will be traveling to....Cocytus, the Icy Hell. In here is lots of ice demons to threaten Patch. Also it's the home of the most dreaded creature of the all.... The Goldfish from hell. :P (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Let's go in!
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/161/picture21a.png)
Right from te starting gate it seem things got crazy first there were skeleton warriors and then after that demonic forces summoned 2 demons...

To the top right is the Ice Feind. The Ice Feind is an elite high rank demon that has extremly dangerous ice powers and he can evoke the powers of hell to wipe out half of Patch's HP. This can only spell trouble. Luckly Patch is very resistant to ice right now so she should be able to stand up to it.

The other guy to the left is the Ice Devil. He basiclly just hits you with ice bolts and can freeze you. Other than that, no where near as deadly as an Ice Feind...

IT only took patch two direct hits with bolt of ice to put the ice feind out. And the ice devil fell shortly after...

You know what was fun after that?

(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/1728/picture23q.png)

I got sent to the abyss...Ah Hell, what can I do without ya..

Patch's mainly plan was to escape....
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2523/picture24yqb.png)

Again, another one of my creations and a far weaker one too. Fire should take care of it. Two hits and my ghost was down....

During my run to escape though...one thing didn't go right...

I forgot to put on my amulet of resist mutation...as I confronted a shining eye that mutated patch..end result?

Patch is now more in charater and frail now. (-10% HP) Considering her max was 95 and it dropped only 7 point to now 87? It's not a significant lose, but still in my view every HP counts....maybe we should find something to counter this mutation?
(http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8964/picture25e.png)

Finally, a gate! Let's get outta here! Patch managed to pick up an ID scroll and two poitions of heal wounds along the trip...

Back in Coctyus!

I didn't take any more pictures following this, but basiclly I went down to floor 2 of Cocytus, got teleported several times, fought off the ever dreadful goldfish, some reapers, skeltons and ice dragons(the only food source you'll get here) Also.... summoning abominations is your friend here! They can act as personal body gaurds while you rest to (hopefully) recover without interuption.

As of right now, Patch's HP is near or at full, her MP isn't and she has her abomination buddies right beside her if anything goes wrong.

Next person will need to recover some MP, and then from there explore more of coctyus or return upstairs and so forth.

As a good note to everyone. The moment you walk up stairs, you return to the Visitude of Hell automaticlly, no need to go through all the floors while facing hell's punishment. At the same time though you'll have to go down the stairs from floor one of coctyus again. (Go figure)

Also if you don't forget if patch becomes too overloaded be sure to drop your goods at the Hive as it's the closest location from where hell's at.

Ok Barasia, it's your go! (remember stay within 5000- 6000 turn limit.)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zmgwgetxkmj

Final note for Barasia: One thing I wanted to point out. You suggestion for the staff of energy is a good choice, but I would like to point out that by the late point in the game, if you have put your focus on spellcasting. (Which patch has mastered) That staff will not be as useful. Since by the time you master it. You will not suffer any complications from casting spells allowing players like Patchouli to run through the dungeon without the slightest worry about hunger issues from any spell casting.

And I'm signing up again to go after Ramus!

If what you say is true, then Invs + Deflect Missle should be a sure fire plan. XD

And yes, we have some potions of invisibility, should be in the hive or Lair. Just look on the first floors of those areas. (they're at floor 14 and floor 8 or 9) respectivly.

Invocations is obselete. dont practise it!
Evocations is TOO LOW. i will practise evocations using Evoke Sense Surroundings.

Patchy: no,no,no! my catness rating is too low! i need to reequip and get prepared better.

returning to the hive stash, patchy is completely shocked.
what she saw was totally unacceptable.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run08.jpg)
it looks like Marisa jsut ransacked through her stuff and left things in chaos!
where's Koakuma when you need her to put things into order?

as she was doing some manual exhausting housework, grumbling all the time at the lack of a Koakuma, suddenly that damn teleportitis kicked in.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run09.jpg)
and ended up in a new area!
frustrated at the interruption, she remembered to cure that mutation.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run10.jpg)
luckily, both bad mutations are cured, and still leaving the good mutation. not a bad outcome.

the result:
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run11.jpg)


patchy then takes notes of several useful spells and lament she could have used these spells MUCH earlier in the game to save her LOTS of trouble and pain, particularly Ignite Poison, Alistair's INtoxication and Ozocubu's refrigeration.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run12.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run17.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run13.jpg)
Ring of Flames is an EPIC spell, and patchy wants to learn it, but ALAS!
no new spell slots! thus she selectively forgets Delayed fireball, Sticky flame, & detect curse to make room.

but hey...Patchouli noticed she hasn't even learned Abjuration yet!
how stupid! thats the most useful lowlevel spell ever!
she does abit of thinking for hours, and firgured its best to learn Abjuration and Forescry for now, as they come in VERY handy.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run15.jpg)
she also realizes that she is missing an important item. perhaps she left it back at the mansion? if she did all she can do is a Face-Book Palm.
an orb of energy is very useful item, but how could she have forget to bring it!
she uses magic to search through her memory to try to remember where she last saw an orb f energy. after some time, she remembers seeing it  in a shop in the swamp, and so takes the boring long journey back there to retrieve it.
on the way to the Lair, she also grabs some important items to bring back to the hive, since its much closer. when we enter the Lair, we need to take such a long trip to the stash, Fate tells us that in Endgame, this is VERY ridiculous, if we want those precious runes fast as we escape out of the dungeon.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run16.jpg)
much ordered. patchy is satisfied.


(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run18.jpg)
she continues her journey BETTER prepared....

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run19.jpg)
with a more rational inventory.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run20.jpg)as she enters, an Ice Fiend is summoned by hell. taking it down quickyly using 2 fire bolts, she gain lots of exp.
she trains Evocations.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run22.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run21.jpg)
patchouli takes note of this useful ability.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run23.jpg)
how nice. an ice dragon.
patchouli suddenly remembers a useful necromantic spell that converts flesh into mana. oh how she wishes they wwere more spell slots so she could use that useful spell. a dragon can give lots of flesh, meaninglots of instant mana. but oh well, an orb of energy will sufffice.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run24.jpg)
a water elemental.
suddenly patchouli wonders at the peculiarty of her spell list.
WHY CAN"T SHE SUMMON ELEMENTALS WHE SHE's AN ELEMENTALIST!?

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run25.jpg)
the last stair to the final level.
Sense suuroundings makes it VERY easy to get to the stais,
combined with Swiftness, this trip went well.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run26.jpg)
oh. so its THIS map.
luckily i have a ring of levitation.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run27.jpg)
You guys have no idea how powerful a Summon/Tukimadance + Cast Haste is.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run28.jpg)
patchouli laughs as she wonders why she didn't caste haste on her summons before.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run29.jpg)
more epic bloodshed to rival an Executioner.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run30.jpg)
using levitate from a ring, she moves to the next island.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run31.jpg)
i didn't bring scrolls of identify, so you have to identify the ring when you get back.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run32.jpg)
more.....um...yeah.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run33.jpg)
HOLY. you guys know what THAT is! i dont even need a scroll of identify. its the most epic item ever!
imagine this.
FLY + Swiftness.
you can almsot match the speed of the Royal jelly!

patchy casts Sun Sign Royal Flare on thhe sleeping fiends, and takes the Amulet of Sky.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run34.jpg)
NOW THIS IS TOUHOU. Touhou isn't complete without flying magical lolis.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run35.jpg)
oh crap. luckily they didn't awaken. patchy ducks backwards before they awake.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run36.jpg)
casting haste on her allies, she readies herself for an epic battle.
she fills the room with fire using RoyalFlare,
Anatues comesout lightly smoked.
Patchy sweatdrops.
she sends her hasted weapons and dragon zombie to attack Anateus, and she fires bolts of fire in openings.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run37.jpg)
Anateus defeats all weapons and the zombie. but he is moderately damaged.
Patchy sweatdrops somemore.
this is bad. VERY bad.

due to better management and analysis through a new guardian angel(me), she knows its best to keep her distance and advoid MELEE.
she cast swift.
Anateus fires an ice bolt.
she dodges.
she runs to the edge of the water. Anateus chases.
she evokes FLight and fly off of the edge, Anateus Just  missing a deadly melee grab(which will instantly end her, since Patchy can't match a hulky oversized Muscle-man)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run38.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run39.jpg)
she is nearly dead by this time, but now that she's out of Melee range, we can jsut sit back and take it easy, shouting insults at the HulkyHotMuscleMan.

except that the HulkyHotMuscleMan retaliates with Icebolts and Electric bolts.
LUCKY FOR THAT INSULATION MUTATION!

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run40.jpg)
she finishes him in an epic point blank(1 tile) range of Danmaku combat.
as proven.
only Touhou girls can do danmaku better than everyone else.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run41.jpg)
i take the rune.
its already a little bit past my 5000 turn quota.
it was 194000 turns lastime.
now its 199100 turns now.
i leave you here to RACE back to the exit,

remember.

Swift + FLy = SUPER SPEED.

and only ever use the orb when your mana is between 30/5--40/50 for safety reasons.
instant mana REFRESH.

Time for my run.  I'm planning on going to the City of Dis.  Since I'm playing, expect ironY.

Anyway, if no one minds me asking, why the heck are we carrying around the Archmagi robes?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/237.png)

Hello not-yet-looted-treasure.  No wait, it's just some gold and lame weak armor.  Also, why are we carrying around a book of conjurations?  Wait, the hell?  Why are we using ignite poison in hell in the first place?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/238.png)

Welcome back to the Abyss!  Oh hey, identify scroll!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/239.png)

My only reaction?  Wooptie freaking doo?  Back out of the Abyss before I know it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/240.png)

Fricking yay.  Oh well, I identify the ring of sustain abilities and oh hey, a ring that gives +3 strength and teleportation control.  Awesome.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/241.png)

Welcome back to the top layer of hell.  To the HIVE!  I'm at the hive.  Time to do some brain cleaning:

Forgetting Forescry because as Patch, you shouldn't be hit anyway.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/243.png)

Welcome to New Jersey.  Theme song to go with it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKGinNfYhRM&feature=related)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/244.png)

Stone Golem.  Erm, slightly tougher golem?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/245.png)

Da Reaper.  A skeleton with a branded scythe.  He's also weak to tentacles.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/246.png)

Hell hogs.  Um... they're useless?  Well, okay, they spit fire at you.  But LAME.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/247.png)

Executioner.  Really fast, like four times faster than you.  It can also haste itself.  And hit you eight times in a row.  Very deadly for someone like Patch.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/248.png)

Hell knight, tough guy with armor and demon weapon or a really heavy axe.  Beware, these guys can produce an executioner's axe of speed.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/249.png)

Oh shi-  BACK UP STAIRS!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/250.png)

Welcome to the bottom of Dis.  Metal Gargoyles, like metal golems except faster and harder to kill.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/251.png)

There's the fortress we want to raid.  Boss to the right, loot to the left.  Let's first eliminate the big guy.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/252.png)

And it's Dispater!  The lord of Dis!  He likes to summon.   Alas, I die.  He got lucky with the summons and got three hellions that all hit me with the powers of hell.  I died in one turn at full health.  ;_;

Oh well.  However, I've got to say I've gotten too many bullshit deaths in a row.  It's getting rather annoying.  Whatever, go ahead whoever is going to play.

Resign me up.

Post by: Totaku on August 04, 2009, 07:35:04 PM
Time to tell my story...

When we last left off, Patchouli had just defeated Letty (AKA Anthenus). And obtained the icy rune of zot.
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1691/picture1xnv.png)

With what left she had to do here, Patch decided to veture around the rest of the floor to see what she could pick up...
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/5530/picture2qqz.png)
Overall, not so great tureasure, just some simple scrolls and some gold that was guarded by ice feinds. Nothing a little fire couldn't handle...

After she escaped she looked through her stuff...The amulet of air is some really awsome stuff as it let's you automaticlly fly when you invoke it's abilty, a supurior version of the ring of levitation. A definete must have.

The Monothesit ring... no good, dumping....
(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/109/picture4ykv.png)
And this ring though is a keeper! Control teleport basiclly... there's been several thing Patch had in mind to do with her magic, but first she had to return to the hive...

It was there that she placed down most of her goods like the rings of invisibilty, see invisible and a bunch of other things...

(Seriously Barasia, what were you thinking caring those down there an no when we have a sword that can do "see invisible?!")

Mean time, looking at her magic once more Patch did some rethinking.... why did she toss out certain spells that were vital in place of Forscry and Abjuration?

(Seriously, I have a lot of questions regarding the choices of your magic barasia...also why did yo toss the sheild?!)

Regardless, after reassembling her equipment back to it's former way, she returned back down to Hell once more. And ventured into Dis.

With some alterations in her equipment...this is where she stands at the moment in her stats...
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9392/picture6e.png)

(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2267/picture7exx.png)
Welcome to Dis, the iron City of Hell. In this place you'll pretty much find most of hell's residents all mixed together here. Let's take a moment to meet some of them...

(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4061/picture8ooi.png)

Meet the Iron Devil, a sturdy looking demon who's body is made of solid iron. He's partially immmune to all elements and is tough, but he can only melee thankfully...

(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6403/picture9djf.png)

This here is the Feind. The eliet class resisdent who's home is in Firey Hell. These guys contain powerful fire spells and of course like all feinds can call the powers of hell to rip through your HP... Push over with ice...

(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6097/picture10p.png)
To the left is the tormenter, a creepy fellow who loves to tourtuer his victims with the blades that stick out from his body. Quite fast, but can be easily dispatched...
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/556/picture11l.png)

And here are two other firey resisdents form Hevanna. The the top right is the hellion. A mean demon who can cast hellfire upon you without hesitation and it has a smite range.

And to the left are hellhounds. Firey dogs who can bark out fire as well as a mean bite.

Either case though they are both easily eliminated with Ice.

It's important to note that the structure to Dis is simalar to the vault dungeon. So there can be items and weapons that can possibly be found in some rooms...

After frankticlly running and escaping from the residents of Hell, Patch finally reached the final floor of Dis....

What terror awaits her here.
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/7954/picture13bpe.png)
Well Metal Gargoyals for started, but they're easy. Then armies of skelton warriors and a some feinds to toss in for good measure.

Hell sure does love to keep you busy...
(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9114/picture14p.png)
Eventually Patch got into the fortress and being to explore in some vaults she found money.

In other places not so much. Either way, Patch realized that she needed to prepare and began to rest...not too soon after...
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/6669/picture15p.png)

Into the abyss she went again...

So Patch had to try to escape.

During her escape... she found a scroll of aquirement, she used it for amor, why? Because I was hoping she obtain som better boots... sadly that didn't happen. (Got a scale mail...pass)

Also found a ring of str....it was then I noticed...Barasia removed Detect curse... (BARASIA!!! Isn't there something better you could of tossed out?!)

A armor enchantment scroll and a weapon enchantment scroll III. Also Patch got mutated by a demon, but it was actually benificial to her....


She once again craved for meat! Definetly a good thing.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7280/picture16n.png)
Not to long after, she escaped the abyss and returned to the spot she was sent from before..
(http://img146.imageshack.us/i/picture17e.png/)
She found a some more gold...
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1574/picture18buw.png)
And even another Triple Sword! (AWESOME!)

But after that, that's when it all changed... She ran into the ruler of Dis....  and it was...
(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6232/picture19z.png)

Yuugi?! Yes the oni of phenomenon's is our boss of the Steel Hell and she's not playing....Yuugi (AKA the Dispatcher) has great reiestance against most forms of magic and must be dealt with physically, but because of Patch's poor str she cannot do it herself, she must resort to her abominations to fight her off. Also Yuugi can call other demons to aid ranger from mid rank to elite high ranks. And to top it all off she can also send your summons back! Making this a rather up hill battle for Patch to fight.

In the battle, Yuugi contiue to attack Patch's summons as she kept summoning and there were times Patch had to retreat just to get some breathing space.

Eventually when she returned to the room, Yuugi was no where to be found... was she defeated?
(http://img29.imageshack.us/i/picture20f.png/)
Patch went into the main chamber and discovered to iron rune of zot! Which was guarded by it's own set of demons...

She lures them out for her summons to take care of... but...

(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5475/picture21y.png)

I guess I spoke too soon...Yuugi had reappeared and was more angry than ever! She charged forward and tackled Patchy's abominations as she blinked away from Yuugi.

This was where things got ugly... Even though patch cleared a path to the rune and attempted to grab it. Right at the moment before Patch could get the rune, the forces of hell brought an executioner right in front of her!

Patch was force to step back and summon, To keep the excutioner busy but at the same time Yuugi was right behinder as she began to attack Patch. Patch was hurt badly and had to resort to using two potions of healing to survive Yuugi's onslaught as she was low on magic  and couldn't do much. However an opening appeared as the executioner was put down. Patch let her other abomination summon take on Yuugi while she grabbed the rune. She retreated to recharge and fight her, but once again, she was hiding....

Where could she be? That shouldn't matter now...let's get out of here!

Patch put on the evoke teleportation ring and use a teleport scroll. The warped right to the stairs and escaped dis with the rune...
(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8285/picture22a.png)

She also took a moment to look at her new ring.... and it was trash!

(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6435/picture24o.png)

This however concluded Patchy's trip through dis...

I've sent the file to Ramus already, but as a tip:

For Patch's sake, she must return and take on Yuugi. It just doesn't seem right to leave her around....

Also I skipped alot of things in Dis, because sometimes, dis carries some good items inside some of the vaults on the upper floors. Plus there's still alot unexplored on the final floor of Dis.

Finally, once we explore all of dis, we should take on Heevana. Patch should be prepared for that, also she should get herself ready for it as much as possible. So start casting ice people!

Also...sign me up again!

Err, skip my turn.  We'll just say I took the only files I had of winning and corrupted them.  ._.

HOWEVER, Totaku and barasia, a few things to carry along:

Staff of Wizardry (because you cast better with it)
The Orb (Because it regains MP for you)
The Tome of Destruction (It blows stuff up for you for free)

Things not to carry:

EVERY DAMN SWORD AND STAFF IS A BAD IDEA
Robe of Archmagi, bad idea


Spells to know:
Abjuration (Geez, this was the only reason I could be Dispater (before I corrupted the files))
Detect Curse (Because we like our gear's usability to be known on the go)

Why are we using ignite poison in hell in the first place?
i didn't learn ignite poison. i merely lamented that fact we didn't use it earlier to save turns.

Quote

(Seriously Barasia, what were you thinking caring those down there an no when we have a sword that can do "see invisible?!")

(Seriously, I have a lot of questions regarding the choices of your magic barasia...also why did yo toss the sheild?!)


i dont like those weapons. to play as patchouli, i dislike carrying weapons.

reason?
Stuff killed by allies and Tukima's dance weapons yield LESS exp. thats why i NEVER use summons to kill.
i only ever used those two random weaps to soften Anatues a little.

Use Arbiter falcion if you want for its benefits/resistances.
but keep in mind you'll never hit anything with that.
i prefer staffs as they power up my spells.

in fact, i also rarely eat corpses.

you know why?
we have over freakin 10 meat rations!
just bring those and never worrying about corpses, EXCEPT, if you have [sublimination of Blood]

in my next turn(if i can), i do plan on forgetting some spells to learn [sublimination of Blood]
its a very good spell that turns flesh into mana with 100% success with no risk compared to the orb.

why throw away that shield?
SEE Skills Aptitude.
Shields-140.
Patchy will NEVER block ANY attack at this stage of game.
i dont care if it has some resistances, it slows her actions and reduces her power.
its jsut MY style of playing, where spell casting should NOT involve shields.


i tossed out Delayed fireball, Sticky flame, & detect curse.
detect curse is wussy.
we have too many remove curse scrolls. i bet we also have too many detect curse scrolls too.
Identify is much better though, but there isn't enough spell slots room.
but if you wish, then go ahead and relearn detect curse.

Abjuration is too important to ignore. why do you think its not vital?
my judgement for learning forescry is my own judgement.
if you trust your own judgement that Patchy can dodge stuff without Fate at her side, then go ahead.

Yuugi?! Yes the oni of phenomenon's is our boss of the Steel Hell and she's not playing....Yuugi (AKA the Dispatcher) has great reiestance against most forms of magic and must be dealt with physically, but because of Patch's poor str she cannot do it herself, she must resort to her abominations to fight her off. Also Yuugi can call other demons to aid ranger from mid rank to elite high ranks. And to top it all off she can also send your summons back! Making this a rather up hill battle for Patch to fight.
i found it quite an EASY fight when using Crystal Spear in combo with Staffs of Conjure, and orb of energy. in fact, i use it on all bosses.
i wonder why we didn't learn that epic spell yet.


A few advices to take if you want to:

1.Staffs power up spells.  a powered up Mystic blast can make the difference between a 1 shot kill or 3 shot kill.
a powered up Haste on an ally can make the difference between it dying or surviving.
a powered up Swift can make the difference between it serving you, or its effects running out when oyu need it the most.
a powered up enchantment can make the difference between a Tukima dance lasting longer, or dropping far away when you need an ally the most.

Edit: let me explain. (you cant use staff when you want to use tukimadance.
i use robe of archmagi instead to powerup TukimaDance.
you may also get more Abominations or get Better Shadow Creatures when powered up with staff of summons

its my own judgement to carry these staffs, but you can drop the staff of fire and staff of ice.

2. Swift + fly= super speed. use the amulet of sky and swift AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
you will encounter much less Hell punishments the shorter you stay in that place.

3. remember you have Sense Surrounds with your gloves.

4. use blink/tele with control tele to SAVE TURNS.
you can complete a hall way in 3 turns in Gahenna using controtele + Blink.
if the hall way is blocked, you can blinkpast them.
use this to escape precarious situations.
why?
a random tele has the chance of putting out of the frying pan and into the fire.
a control blink gives you more security of where you want to go.
waste no turns killing small fry.
waste no turns WALKING.
only the Fiends and bosses ever yield any significant exp for me to care.

Edit: blink + controltele gives no magic contaminating. use as often without worry of Glowing.

5. only ever Use Orb when mana is 30/50--40/50
risky when 20/50--25/50. won't work when <19/50.
epic failure when used if mana is 50/50.
i hopefully level up Evocations enough for you guys to make it easy........but dont rely on it too much. you'll regret it, trust me.

Important Addtion: im not so sure about this.
when your mana bar has NO Fade blue at the end, using the orb works better.(or at least i find it so)
once, when i use the orb straight after casting a spell, the mana was 40/50, but the WHOLE bar is still colored. that is, the last 10 mana is light blue.
i used the orb and lost all my mana.
i am not so sure why there's a Faded blue color of the mana bar, to signify how much mana you used perhaps......but it MAY affect the rules of the Orb.
just speculating there.

6. level up evocations when you get the cahnce using Sense Surrounds.

7. learn Sublimination of blood.
you'll need it. find it in Book of Unlife. cost=2.
best spell ever, escpecially if you are NOT USED to using that orb.
The Orb ISN'T PERFECT.
only if your evocations is level 27, then you can totally rely on it to have a good effect, even when your mana is 30/50--40/50.
dont let Orb Miscasts end you. its embarrasing.

8. most important: START WITH A FULL STOMACH.
we have too many meat rations in the hive. bring taht 11 ration stash down.

good luck with killing Yuugi. you better use PoweredUP Mystic blast, cause thats the only spell she isn't resistant to.
what ever you do. ADVOID MELEE.

OK my turn is done! And it's time to reveal what happened....
As our adventure left off.... Patch had just obtain the Icy Rune of Zot.

She returned back up to the hive once again...

On her way back she froze a yak and...

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3415/picture1hof.png)
Ice is now level 9 just 6 more to go before I try something new. XD

She dropped off the rune along with a bunch of other good that she found useless...

She chose to forget call undead and relearned detect curse once more... For she doesn't use to aid her as much as she depends on knowing the items she uses....

She returns back to Dis to deal with Yuugi once more... on her way down....she once again was sucked into the abyss....
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9576/picture2foj.png)

And so Patch begins to hunt for a way out...
(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1083/picture3hfv.png)

On her way out, she found another scroll of aquirement... Could she get shoes out of it?

Sadly no, she got a sheild of protection....still not good, but at least it's better, regardless, she discarded the sheild later on...


Eventually she found her way out again and continued through Dis...
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9279/picture4kul.png)

At the bottom floor once again, Patch explored the floor to see what she could find, there were

more money and useless goods that she already had....
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9744/picture6vkj.png)
Plenty of iron residents. ^^;; and a room full of some somewhat god turesaure (like swords and gold and a robe of vinity which is suited for the Tarturus run)

And then it was time to settle the score with the oni...

(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/861/picture7qmy.png)

Fortunatly, Yuugi was resting from her wounds and was unaware of Patch's presents.

Time to perpare a sneak attack!

Patch summoned a load of abominations and attempt to get close when Yuugi awoke.

Yuugi charged torward Patch and this was when Patch launched the assult...

IT WAS A SUCCESS! Yuugi was completely surrounded by a swarm of abominations! And even though she could pick them off in a hit or two. Having 8 of them around you constantly seriously adds up. She even calls an army of demons to assist her regardless though, she was over taken quickly and thus Yuugi was eaten alive by the abominations...
(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8708/picture8q.png)

With Yuugi out of the way, Patch claimed the staff (or would that be horn?) of the disparter and left Dis as soon as possible.

Patch went and took her belonging she collected from the trip through Dis and took them back the hive and continued make plans for her next trip.

She put on her robe of vinity, a ring of life protection and Warding amulet...

Yes,...we're going to Tarturus...

Now it's time to put some music that should Fit this place perfectly... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSwYVAcEEbw&feature=related) (ok this is also music from a game that has a "Tarturus" but it just seemed perfect for what I'm about to do)

Tarturus....the negative forces of hell live here. Most are either undead or dark forces with the power to drain or rot you....

Caution must be taken with these creatures...

All was quite till the 3rd floor....and then.... it happen...

"It's the Enemy!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9E3VR8Fnj0)

Patchouli engaged battle with skeleton warriors and necrophanges, it was almost like a trip through the crypts again...

Buth then there was more....

"Becarful!! I SENSE DEATH!!!"

Reapers, usually consist of weilding an enchanted syecth and can do some damage if they get near you.. otherwise pretty tame. Do not fear the reaper.....(The enemy's is weak against fire!)BURN HIM!
"There are three shadow remaining! Keep it up guys!"
Shadow imps, they are more natorious in the living world than down in Tarturus, they can raise corspes from the dead and can drain you with thier bolts of draining, but again, like alll imps, easy picking...especially with fire!

"There is one shadow remaining!"
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1495/picture12vmj.png)

Shadow demons, they are extremly stealthy and are invisible. Thus are hard to detect unless you use something to see invisible. Once found, putting them out of misery is the easy part. Burn or freeze it!

"The enemy has been defeated! Nice job everyone!"

Now, with that out of the way....we reach the the final section of Tarturus! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZXT3v1Ngyo&feature=related)

Down here the demons are more restless than ever, the area is more open, trouble can be found at every corner...

Oh and too the right is a rotting demon. A demon who's suffering from an extremly terrible skin condition and doesn't mind sharing it with you. Don't let him touch you for you'll rot. Burn it with fire. :P

I would like to note that while on the last floor I've seen a mix of some other residents here including the imfamous Hellion.... beware of them since Patch is lacking the proper protection from their hellfire at the moment....

But then this happened...the forces of hell finally brought upon a boss...
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5228/picture14kdg.png)

THE SHADOW FIEND!

"Watch out! This shadow is stronger than the others! It must be protecting something!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afTT1USIFXA&feature=related)

Shadow Fiends are another elite high rank demon who uses has massive power over draining magic. They are also slightly resistant to some forms of magic, but other than that they take a little bit of time to handle. Thankfully this one was summoned by the forces of hell meaning it's won't attack for one turn.... Also like all feinds, can use the powers of hell to crush your HP.

Time for Patch to get serious!
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8013/picture1phb.png)
PERSONA!!!!

Ok maybe not. :P But she did launch a bolt of fire into his face.

It was then, Mima dropped a gift for Patchouli.
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7516/picture15bnr.png)
Anything good?

Patch launched a another bolt of fire and eleminated the fiend.

She then picks up the book...
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/699/picture16rgp.png)
Well I think we have this already, besides it has most of the spells Pathch has used. Regardless she took it...

As of right now Patch seems to be closing in on the main chamber where the shadow demon lord is located. Will she be able to stand up to him or her.
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1857/picture17uvx.png)
It was the 210000th turn (I wanted to round it off) And thus Patch's turn came to an end....

Final thought:
I really should of brought more potions of healing with me. I feel like a ⑨ for forgetting that one hell punishment is rot and it occurs more often here. She still has one more left, maybe if we're lucky, she'll hold out. Otherwise, don't be afraid to run and stock up so you can return and fight off the shadow demon lord...

Second, we need to make more trips to the abyss, speficily for more potions of healing wounds. We're running low.

Finally looking at Barasia's post:

I can understand the choices in the magic, it's just that there are some spell that I know we could of still held on to and some we could of dumped for these. (like call undead not useful in demon land, I ended up tossing it out to get back detect curse.)

Forscry and abjuration do have thier uses though so I thank you for the decision on that part.

And yeah I preffer some of my weapons mainly because of my "swiss army knife nature" Cause I never know when they'll help me...

Also yes, I use the sheild for safty reasons. Mainly because of the attributes it give patch over the sheilding. THough I've seen some low level sheilds block high stuff before. Not often, but it can be a life saver sometimes.

And finally I will note, that I'm trying to save the food we have for the Pandemonium Trip. I may not know much about this place, but if it's as dangerous as I think it is. I'll need to prepare for the worst since it may be a long time before PAtch can return. (or just use our distortion sword to escape via abyss.)

Better safe than sorry if you ask me. And yeah I take a cautious stance with my supplies and food. But overall I guess we can say, whatever works works. Do what ever methods are nessary to survive.

Anyways as for right now. Ramus infromed he he's signing up for another round so I'm putting the file for him to use when he's ready.
 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yo25jmq5tkk (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yo25jmq5tkk)
Also as I suggest to others....sign up! we can always have more players!

Also as for me, I'm signing up myself again as well.

Do we have a wand of digging?  No.  Wand of Disintegration?  Yes.  Oh goodie, we can actually start grabbing treasure.

I'll start up in a bit.

Also, dual wielding Sakuya coming to relay run near you soon!

AH HA HA, hit post instead of preview.
Image coming in a moment.


More random Crawl facts:

Ally kills only halve leveling up experience, not skill experience.  So the exp. pool is totally good.
Patch sucks at Earth magic.  Can we fix that?  Sure.  Then she'll have all four elements at command.
Airstrike also works well against Dispater.


Anyway, I've got the judge of hell to kill.  Dun Na Naaaa! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o)

Regardless, Totaku leaves me at 8 MP, jerk.  Oh well.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/256.png)

And so the final assault begins.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/257.png)

CHARGE!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/258.png)

Alas, it is time that we duel to death. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTe-oeIaNYQ&feature=related)

Shiki, some things to know about her... first off, her crazy high 30 EV.  That's a high number.  You'll be missing a lot of shots on her if you're unlucky or are an axe user.  Secondly, crazy powerful necromancy spells.  Symbol of Torment crazy powerful.  And she'll summon shadow fiends, reapers, and what not to do her business.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/259.png)

Like so.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/260.png)

Blink is your best friend.  As well as some fireballs, fire bolts, and crystal ball abuse.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/261.png)

'3'

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/262.png)

Go Patch!  VICTORY!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/263.png)

We'll start training earth magic with this sand spell.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/264.png)

Rune snatch.  Time for VICTORY THEME! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NsnLfIAcs)

Also, Iron Bolt.  We're going with that instead for training.  And that's all Patch can carry.  Back to the surface!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/265.png)

Totaku, you need to do something about that book fetish of yours.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/266.png)

Time to start raiding.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/267.png)

Yay.


FRICK

Zot Trap killed me.  >_O  I don't know, the fact that it's either Patch who's paper thin for dying at 3/4 health or that this game hates me because I've been getting several one hit deaths.  And right, my one successful run ends in corrupted files.

Have fun guys.  I think I'll withdraw from Crawl for a while.  That marks my sixth BS death in a row.

EDIT:  Erm, actually, this would be a good of time as any to get back to Suika.  You guys have fun with your paper thin magician.

More than happy to do that.
Thus, the CLEAVE AND SMITE time with Zengar will come after Totaku's run.
PS: Now that I remember, when messing around with Suika I found out that the early floors of the slime pits weren't that bad for Suika. Might as well go there.

Nope.  Not much to gain there unless you can kill the big bad jelly.  Instead, get rid of the rune we currently have and head to the snake pits.  And get rid of some of the wands, I mean geez, that's a lot.

Also, I'm after Zengar.

ok time to continue the story...
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3420/picture1ggr.png)
As we left off, Patch was fixing to enter the lair where the shadow demon Lord to launch an attack. She approches the front gate... it's swarming with shadows.... nothing her abominations couldn't handle...

As she enters she confronts a slew of demons including another shadow fiend....

Eventually she finds a door way any....

Confronts the demon lord of the shadows!
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/671/picture2lgz.png)
Shikieiki!

Shikieiki (AKA Ereshkigal) mainly controls the shadow world and is skill in all feilds of magic in fire ice and draining. Also she can summon demons and call shadow feinds to aid her. She is rather resistant as well. So there's only one way to handle this....
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/7874/picture3skq.png)

Get an army of abominations to do the job! (And it appears Shikieki want to eat Patch's heart, what?!)

Shikieiki was overswarmed by abominations and tentacle monsters. Obviously the impurity of these creation were almost too much for her, but out of the blue, she summons a Balrug in the fray of abominations and by the time Patch noticed, she was blasted with flames.....

And because she's ill prepared to fight fire...she died....

Yeah I died rather quick there....

Signing up to attempt Patchy's run once more which I guess I'll post after Ramus get done with Suika.

Too many, drop a few of the slowing ones and one or two confusion ones.  Regardless, dump point is the temple if I remember right.  If you're going to the snake pits, beware of the Greater Nagas.  They hurt.

Suika, RIP AND TEAR, etc, etc. You know the drill already.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Start.png)
Mind you, I'm doing this on the university computers, so shared IP means no custom sprites besides the ones already in the relay folder. Also, .NET is very outdated here, so I'll have to crop the stuff manually. Crap.
Last time, we were returning from the Swamp with a rune in hand. Thus, we go to our vault (Temple according to Ramus) to drop some stuff.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/wrong.png)
Uhhh... looks like the temple was respawned. That means if anything was there, It's NO MORE THERE. (PS: Main Dungeon floor 1 was also respawned).
So well, might as well drop everything here.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/muchbetter.png)
66%, much better. To the Snake pits, floor 4!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/warrior.png)
Naga warriors, armed and dangerous (not). Also spits poison, like all nagas..
Oh hey, God Gift, right away!
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/godgift-1.png)
...The one we have already is marginally better. Dropping.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/mage.png)
Naga mage, does what its name says. Likes to poison you.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Bees.png)
A beehive! After killing all the bees and the queen, I get some sweet honey as prize.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Evasion.png)
A +3 ring of evasion. I'll keep it, if we ever need it.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Vault.png)
Oh look, a small vault-
A DOUBLE SWORD
MUST KILL
Or not. It turns out that all the items but a potion of heal wounds are mimics. Oh well.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Greater-1.png)
BITCH ON A STICK
These are the Greater Nagas, the bane of Suika.
After escaping (Both Nagas were reinforced with other two Greater Nagas and a mage), we seem to be fine.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Goast.png)
Catoire's ghost, a Spriggan Enchanter. Can put you to sleep, and cast Corona on you. Also blinks, confuses and teleports. Like what happened here.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/Guardian-FUCK.png)
ONE THOUSAND DICKS
Luckily, we manage to survive by teleporting the hell out.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/cassarenas/End.png)
And after retreating, I end my turn, proving that playing Suika is 10x better for me.
Mind that nagas are ganging up on us, so kill them SLOWLY.
Also, for some reason instead of reading a tele scroll, in one point I clicked the inmolate scroll, so we lost some other scrolls, but it saved me as well.

Whenever you find a vault guarded by a greater naga, all the items turn into mimics once he dies. Solution is to loot then kill or draw him away for a while.

Some exploration of floor reveals... nothing of importance.  Granted, there's a potion shop full of potions we don't need.  Wait, where's the potions of healing?!  The scrolls of teleportation?  WHERE'S THE BACK UP PLAN?!

ZENGAR!  I NEED THOSE POTIONS!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/269.png)

Irony... >_O

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/270.png)

One enemy induced teleport later and I think I say I'm fucked.  All that blood?  Not Greater Nagas.  The Greater Nagas are standing right outside.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/271.png)

I know you guys can't tell by the pictures but I'm deep within Greater Naga territory.  This is a stealth based mission for a none stealth character.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/272.png)

Yeah, I'm that close.  FRICK!  TELEPORTED OUT.  Actually, YES, teleported out.  Don't have the rune though...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/273.png)

TELEPORTED BACK IN!  WHEN WILL IT STOP?!  And back out I go via teleportation.  I think I know a good piece of music for this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/274.png)

Welcome back to greater naga territory.  Curtsy of Teleportation Airlines.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/275.png)

And before you can say "Teleportitis" I'm back out.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/276.png)

Welcome back with the cold harsh reality of teleporting!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/277.png)

Rune snatch you teleporting bastards!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/278.png)

ALMOST THERE!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/279.png)

AH HA HA- there's no more potions of healing?  Or scrolls of teleportation?  Now last time I checked, Suika had six potions of healing and four teleportation scrolls... whatever.  TWO RUNES GOT.

Number of enemy induced teleportations in this run:  Seven

Amount of turns spent in the Snake Pits Floor 5: 1500~

Next up, the hive.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/280.png)

Shafted.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/281.png)

Bees, and lots of them.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/282.png)

Bottom of the hive.

Queen Bee, which I editted to be Queen Wriggle.  She dies in three hits.

GOD GIFT

Nice.  Wait, no.  +6, -1, really Okawaru?  REALLY?

Remember that lake at the bottom of the hive?  There's a secret stash of wasps there.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/289.png)

Nice flail.  And a scroll of identify.   Nice haul actually.  +5, +1 T_T
WHERE'S THE DAMAGE?!

Dump stuff on the first floor and that wraps up my turn.

Also:  I'M ALIVE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI).  AGAINST ALL ODDS, I SURVIVED!  Snake Pits floor 5, warrior without a potion of healing.  Let's see you do that.

Ok let me tell you what happen....I won't speak much about Tarturus... since you know my objective at the moment...
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8162/picture1sjx.png)
We know where Patch started...

We got inside and confronted Shikieki!

Go my minions! Eliminate the judge!
(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/3427/picture2e.png)

Patch was distracted by a shadow fiend in the middle of the fight and pulled back to fight it. By the time she returned the abominations had already pulverized the judge!
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3396/picture3ika.png)
She retrives the bone rune of zot! Now it's time to loot the place!

She got the jelly bane sword some books and ventured forward...

She found a seperate room that was completely blocked off...

She used the wand of distingration...the room was gaurded by a shadow fiend, and a few minor ghost....

inside....there was close to nothing....
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/5606/picture4yss.png)
Just a ring of magical power. This is of course debatable but we already have one in our collection... this place doesn't have much purpose....pass!

She goes to the other room and tries to disinigrate the wall, nothing was found....just then she was sent to...
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9962/picture5icd.png)
the abyss!

During her trip, Patch found a scroll of recharging, she regarched her disinigration wand! She obtained 19 shots!

After a long trip of hasting and wearing her mutation amulet to prevent her mutation from taking her over she finds the exit!
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4161/picture6qcu.png)

Now it's time to start blasting some holes!
(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1669/picture7urt.png)
Pretty cool stuff here! Though most of it was stuff Patch wasn't skilled in, so she grabbed the gold and...

This ring!
(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1807/picture8gqf.png)

This looks like it could be useful for the zot run if you ask me. So we should keep it for later...
(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/3107/picture9qmm.png)
At the bottom left vault area, Patch used her wand to dig through the wall, she found rooms filled with zombies, shadows, and Necrophanges....joy...

Eventually the digging would all pay off!! Gold and tureasure ahoy!

Out of everything here, one thing stood out...
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3376/picture11ynm.png)
The cloak of darkness! Think of it as like a ring of invisibility when you equip it. Good only if your invotation is high enough though... Not good for demon land, but good for the zot world maybe. Keeping!

Next..

In the low right vault there was a room with a door that was hidden and a ring....
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6893/picture12xqx.png)
That ring is obviously usless to Patch.... avoid that ring and get the gold...

Afterward, Patch left Tarturus and took her rune back to the hive and dropped some of the other good she gather...
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4660/picture13m.png)
Onward to Gehanna!
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8908/picture14eys.png)
Welcome to Gehanna! The firey hell! In this place fire is your biggest enemy so be ready to feel the burn!
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4322/picture15.png)
In this hell, our pigs snort fire! Seriously, they can release sticky flames. (Ice works wonders on them though. :P)
(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/460/picture16q.png)
Expect lots of fire explosion from our demonic Pyrotecnic!
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/149/picture17.png)
And don't forget to check out the lava streams! You may even get to see the lava life that lives in here!

Salamanders are a bit of a nuseance, but at least they're weak to ice.
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2347/picture18v.png)
And here we have a stone giant, this guy is alot like the iron giants. But will less immunity to elements. Still best tackled with Patch's summons...

Long story short though, PAtchouli had to very short trip through the first 6 floors cause all the stairs were relatively close....

And hell's effects weren't as devistating....
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/9101/picture19xmp.png)
Until she reached the 7th floor...

This is the final floor of the Gehanna and inside the fortress that is surrounded by lava should be the demon lord of fire.

Can I kill 2 lords in one run?

PAtchouli had to face the gargoyals and Hell knights...And oddly enough more hell knights came on the scene making a total of 6 hell knights and 4 necromancers on the scene...time summon like no tomorrow...

After dispatcing the necromancers and hell knights, patch ate the corpsed, she may have gotten a little sick, but nothing to worry about... I guess...

Even though she fought off more gargoyles, even more hell knights.. she eventually reached the inside of the fortress.... what  awaited for her inside?

It was the Serpent from hell!!! ( I so wanted to make this an orin sprite, but can't because I can't make the bmp with the same file size. :<)

The Serpent from hell is a terrifying beast. It can breath hell fight that can release devistating damage upon you and it's attacks are strong. Excersise extreme caution with this thing! And if I recall correctly, the creature, despite it's apperance, is not labeled to be a dragon. Dragon slaying spears will be ineffective against it. Other than that though, it's very weak to ice though. A big plus...

Patch took on the Serpent. Sending her abomination against it. It breathed it's hell flames all over the abominations, but Patch kept summoning..... The creatures was weakened terribly but something unexpected happened...

Despite that I had three abominations in front of patch.... the hell flames from the serpent exploded killing the first and continued through the other two and struck patch....
(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/6707/picture22e.png)
DOING A WHOPPING 57 damage! Patch was killed from the devistating blast... and I'm sad. ;_;

I was really hoping to take on the fire lord from hell in this run. ;_;

Oh well, there's next time unless Barasia survives. :P

Anyways, as some words of advise for you Barasia, if you don't get sent to the abyss and find a recharge scroll, you're probably going to have to go get a recharge scroll (and maybe a wand of digging to make life easier)from the hive and then return back to tarturus to get the hidden loot. I know some of the stuff there is promising.

Other than that, yeah I simply underestimanted the serpent and should of consumed another potion of healing to get rid of the sickness (or maybe not eat hell knights at all :P)... but I got greedy....)

Still very upsetting.... I know I could of done better, but yeah..

GO ahead and use Ramus's that he posted and continue patch's progress from there.

Meanwhile. I'm signing up again!

...thats not what i meant.
i mean, due to slow internets, (average 30kb/sec) at my home, i only ever take an hour to upload a crawl run array of images, even when cropped.
combined with unexpected breaks/discoonect. i have to sometimes start all over.

with my uni internet it takes 5 mins.

but thats for tomorrow.

Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 43, MoTK : 6
Post by: barasia on August 08, 2009, 02:20:05 AM
OMG. im so sorry about the delay.
on friday i was supposed to play and upload images, but i realised i had a test on that day, so i spent most of my uni time studying. by the end of the test, i only remebered about this by Friday evening, and quickly played. i only finished playing on Saturday morning, so i'm going to have to uplaod at Home, which takes time.

the problem?
i am a REALLY slow player. that is, sometimes it takes me an hour to even make 50 turns.
i tend to think too much about all the possibilities and strategies, but i supposed through this tedious thinking, i tend to make some really wise choices.
i'd glad to say i survived Gahenna, but just BARELY at one point. the battle with the Serpent went well for me, lasting jsut a 10 turns or so(you REALLY should haved planned for that one Totaku, as well as Asmodeus(big boss))

i'm uploading the images now (39).

another problem?

i finished early.
jsut under 3000turns.
the logical place to go is PandaZoo, but with my epic loot and analysis, i dont dare take the chances. if i die, i will face-book palm. losing this epic loot is not worth it so i end my turn.

Patchy's Guardian who was ever changing hands was in statis, when it was Barasia's turn one day. Barasia met sum inforseen tast and delayed the plying, making the fans inpatent.
So we went.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run42.jpg)
Patchy Guardian wet to his computer fast and loaded the commuter game to live up to his grawl name.
he took control of Pechouli Nowlege, and set out to get teh evil boss.
the guardian notices a strange obsessive compulsice behaviour, with turns ending at 210000.
"this is weird" said Patchouli.
"we know" sed the friendly zombie goasts surrounding here.

patchouli then went FAST toward the bossss door and played with shadows and friends. she shot fire bolts, and the friends went "hot! hot!"
Pathcouli smiled bcause it wa sfun.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run43.jpg)

patchouliwent to the bosss room then seid to the guardian "bcareful! i died here once!"
"i know. the last guardian wasn't very efficient in his choices wasn't he?" the guardian said.
"what?" patchuli said.
...
"what?" patchuli said.
Patchouli was getting angry, because she stop there and did nothing. but the guardian is her guardian and she cant move until  guardian move.
"just shoot their heds with ZC!" the guardian said after an hour
"ok"Patchouli said.

Patchouli saw hot dogs running around with old zombie goasts and a friend. the big boss ereskigral wasn't lookin.
Patchouli felt sad, because she was ereskigal, so she blewup the room and killed the hotdogs and bossess.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run44.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run45.jpg)

"well done patchu" said the guardian
patchuli smiled and said "i will live up to my family name and kill the demons!"
"no. u will livep to your familiy names and STUDY. study this spell now and pretice makes parfait" said the guardian.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run46.jpg)
Patchouli studied and wet to the door to take the rune.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run47.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run48.jpg)

"wat now guardian?" patchouli said.
"we go home to make parfait"
and then Patchouli weted for 4 hours while the guradian went to make parfiat.


when the guardian wokeup, patchu went home safe too, and dropps things on the floor to make home easy.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run49.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run52.jpg)
 
but pahuolie was mad bcause thare was no parfait, so she throw and tantum.
the guardian waas sad bcause patchouli was mad, so he went and sent patchouli to take some jelliesweets. pathcouli smiled because the guardian cared for her tastes.

on the way, an unexplored area is waiting.
patchouli laughed because the last guardians didn't know how to break into the vault.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run50.jpg)

patchouli fired fire at the sweetwalls and the wallls melted. she ate the melted walls but didn't find anyting else good. she took the sweets and went went back to Heil
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run51.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run53.jpg)

"i have a plan" said the guardian.
"whats a plan?" said patchouli.

"you run as fast as you can patchu, run. then you run to the platform to get to the basemen where the nexxt boss keeps his rune where normal people die because they are in their basermind"
"waht?"
"just run!"
so she went.

patchuouli ran Fast and did blinkflips.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run54.jpg)

she went so fast that noone could catch her.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run55.jpg)

suddenly a fire lizard notice her and asked for her hell pass.
"im sorry lizard i cannot give you my hell pass"
"why not?" said the fire lizard
"because you are headcrabzombie pissweakfirelizard" said patchouli and shot the furliturd and went faster.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run56.jpg)

patchouli stoppped by to meet some friends.
"my firends! go back to your homes where we can be happy souls!" said patchouli
"but this is our home!" said the firends.
patchouli felt sad for them because they couldn't go home because they were silentsinners.
so she BOOMBOOMBOOM them up and and they were at piece.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run57.jpg)

she fianlly came to the basement and then the guardian said "well done. rest now because i have to look up the final bosses"
"did you say bosses?" said Patchouli
"there are 2 bosses here you knew?"
"is that so~"
"so that is~"
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run58.jpg)

2 hours later, the guardian said "i knew his weakness now" and the guardian had a plan.
Patchouli went home fast like the spped of light with her blinkflips, and took her wepon to kill the last boss.
she flew through traffics to reached the basement again.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run59.jpg)

patchouli went fast to the bosses homes, and knocked.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run60.jpg)

she saw somemore bosses maids laughing at her "you will not defeat the boss you thinbook worm!"
"you will not laugh at me!" said patchouli and she use her wepons because that was the maid's weakness.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run61.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run62.jpg)

Patchouli went and found the first boss. the first boss was alseep, so patchouli felt sad because he is asleep.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run63.jpg)
patchouli woke him up they could fight, but the 1st boss drooled and was still half sleep so the wepon almsot killed him. patchouli killed the 1st boss so that she can get more exp. the guardian always said that its not nice to share exp with her zombie goast friends and she shuld grow up and be the man. so she killed her 1st boss and took the exp and said "the last boss must be over there" and went fast.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run64.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run65.jpg)
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run66.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run67.jpg)
but her fuel ran out and patchouli is worried because she cannot run fast when her fuel ran out.
then, some bad people ambush her and tried to gangrope her, but she simple used the last fuel to run faster.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run68.jpg)

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run70.jpg)
patchouli ran so fast and we blew up the room so the bad people cannot catch her.
but she ran too fat and had to catch breath, or she will die.
"i must rest 1st or i will die" said patchouli.
she rested and ate some sweets and felt sweeter.

patchouli wanted to fight the last boss but suddenly her guardian stop her and waited. the guardian said " do i get the rune or the threasure first?"
"idk. make minds up" said patchouli

after passtime, patchouli went to take treasure after shooting the fiendguards heads.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run72.jpg)
she saw the most beautiful blanket ever and said "that is my blanket! i want it!"
"you can take it if you say thank you" the guradian said.
"fankyou" said patchouli.
"close enough".
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run73.jpg)
but there were other wepons here too so the guardian was happy.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run74.jpg)

patchouli found the last boss so she sat back down slowly (http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run75.jpg)

and she began to think. she think slowly like a turtle and decided to stick to the guardian plans to use the last boss weakness.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run76.jpg)

the last boss laughed HAHAHA but the wepons cut him and patchouli llaugh HEHEHE.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run77.jpg)

patchouli remember the guardian's advice, and said" NO! i will not share the exp with you flying sword!"
the flying sword looked sad becausse it wont get exp, but the last boss said" thats very greedy Patchouli"
"you will not call me greedy" said patchoili and she shot the last boss with ice becauseit was his weakness and took all the exp.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run78.jpg)

the last boss died, and patchouli and and the guardian was happy.
we planted pants on him so that there is good there ad we took away his toys for safekeeping.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run79.jpg)

we went back home safe and had more parfait.
patchouli said "i want more toys! lets go to the zoo!"
"no. the zoo is now next guardians hands. its not time"
and so the guardianwent.
(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run80.jpg)

sorry. by the looks of things, those treasure SUCK.
thats why i didn't waste any time getting them.


but more advice.

ALISTAIR'S INTOXICATION WORK ON DRACONIANS.
we should learn it from book of Paty Tricks before going to halls of zot.

Shatter is EPIC, but require level up of Transmigration and Earth to level 9 or so.

believe me. shatter will make our life much easier in final level of halls of zot.

therefore, we have 3 spells to learn.
Alistair;s intoxication.(Zun sign, Drunkeness!) (forget the spell right before we go enter final area with the orb guardians)
cast noise (replace alistair's intoxication)
Shatter.
thats my strategy to get the orb safely.

Today we're just heading directly south in the Dungeon and covering whatever remains of it.  Also, dragon hide get.  Now I just need a scroll of enchant armor.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/291.png)

Oh ho ho, I remember this place.  And lookie here, an enchant armor scroll.  Congrats, you know have dragon armor, perfect for the fiery hell.

GOLD DRAGON D:
Well, to put it bluntly, these things can wreck you up REAL bad.  Therefore it's a good idea to not face them at half health like I am.  Run.

God Gift

Lame...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/295.png)

Gee, I'm assuming this is the difficulty spike in the dungeon, cause there's a lot of big bad dudes in the concentrated area.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/296.png)

Ready for a dragon?  I hope I am.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/297.png)

Gold Dragon.  What about these guys?  They're tough, one of the toughest dragons around, comparable to the quicksilver dragon.  They have just about every variety of breath and some resistance to just about every element.  Yeah, Suika just goes and attempts to punch it out.

HASTE
MIGHT

KILL KILL BASH BASH KICK KICK

And that was an easy fight.  Hmm... oh well.  Golden dragon hide GET!  Got a ring and some staves.  Woopie?  It's the Shaolin Ring.  Kickass if it wasn't for the fact that Suika doesn't need evade.  Back to the hive!  Gold dragon hide is the in hive whenever someone finds another enchant armor scroll.

Anyway, back to exploring, we get a potion of strength.  Nice.  33 strength, beat that!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/298.png)

Vaults, floor 19.  Sounds good, let's go.  Also, level up, number 18, strength goes up to 34.  And a plus 1, plus 2 ring of slaying.  How nice.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/299.png)

Is that what I think it is?  The glorious executioner's axe?  Runed?  Nope, useless.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/300.png)

Floor 2 of vaults and we see an ice dragon.  Might just complete the heavy dragon armor set today.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/301.png)

Crypts.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/302.png)

This is different.  FUCK!  Net trap and about six eels shooting me with lightning.  T_T

No file from me AGAIN.  Need to go invest in some ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE.

Patchouli Knowleadge waited. The Fireballs above her blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in Pandemonium. She didn't see them, but had expected them for years. Her warnings to dieaty Mima were not listenend to and now it's too late. Far too late for now, anyways.
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/5197/picture1umj.png)
Patchouli was a magician for many years. When she was young she watched the adventurers go to the dungeon and she said to day "I want to go into those dungeons daddy!"
Dad said " NO! YOU WILL BE KILLED BY DEMONS!"

There was a time she believed him. Then as she got oldered she stopped, But now in the depth of the dungeon in a the region Pandemonium she new there were demons. "This is Mima" The voice crackered "You must fight the demons!"
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6715/picture2rzg.png)
So Patchouli gotted her mahjik book and blew up the wall.
(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9149/picture4d.png)
"HE GOING TO KILL US!" said the demons!
"I will shoot at him." said the Panda Lord and he fired his mahjik missiles. Patchouli mahjiked at him and tried to blew him up. But the ceiling fell and they were trapped  and not able to kill.

"No! I must kill the demons!" she shouted.
The voice said "No Patchouli. You are the demons."
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/5651/picture10nxg.png)
And then Patchouli was a zombie.

--

To make a summary, very first time I've been to Panda land ever. Madness I tell you and the Panda lords are hard as nails. This is like Extra mode of crawl in my perspective.

Also I should of just got the rune and then used the distortion sword to escape instead of traveling more.. Also where are the heal wound potions! They could of save my neck from that executioner @_@

So yeah, like Ramus always recommends, get the sword of distortion and some digging wands(and recharge scrolls) to help survive this place. Above all else wear that presevation cloack it's problmatic to loose your scrolls while fighting the demons. :P

Hey, this game is pretty fun. How do you get a custom sprite in for your character? Or are y'all just shopping 'em in after the fact?

Either way, *signs up to take a pull, even though I'll surely die horribly*
Considering that this is version 0.4.5 from what I recall, they were sprites that were placed into the .bmp file. So yeah they're customized (by Ramus) using MS paint from what I recall When you DL the file you should see them in the tile file.

Oh and nice to see new faces. make sure you get 0.4.5 of crawl since that's the version we are playing in.

To make a summary, very first time I've been to Panda land ever.

congratulations. you've now battled a Panda lord.

keep in mind there are 4 UNIQUE runes in total to be collected here.
in 0.5 or 0.5.1, these unique runes have SPECIAL sprites to make them look cool(Hell runes also have special sprites)

after you collect 4 unique runes, get out.
what ever you do. DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU GET ALL 4 UNIQUE RUNES.
and what ever you do.
EXPLORE THE PLACE B4 YOU LEAVE TO THE NEXT MAP, YOU COULD MISS A UNIQUE RUNE.
the common rune is the Demonic rune. you can collect as many as you want.

Tip: if there's a unique rune, there's a special enviroment layout, such as a fortress like layout. or a large patterned map.
like the one you saw here.

This is like Extra mode of crawl in my perspective.
wrong.
Hell is much harder, cause they always Torment you and punish you.
in Pandamonium you DONT GET PUNISHED.
thus, you can easily Rest and take it easy as long as you want.
you can also Exp harvest, by killing lots of Panda lords.


WHAT TO DO B4 GETTING INTO PANDAMONIUM:

GET A ORB OF SEEING!!!!!!!!
evoke sense surrounds dont work, only the orb of seeing does.
with Patchy's evocations leveled up, we can surely see our surroundings to determine whether if there's a special rune.
Note: to find one,
use Ctrl-F then type "Crystal ball" to see where are the other orbs.


Tips of Panda lords:

Use Fire storm. REpeatedly.
the fire may not kill them, but the BLAST will.
if its resistant to fire, fall back, and use Ice bolt.
if its BOTH resistant to fire and ice.....well.....USE YOUR WEPON.
even if you need to share exp with your stupid weapon.

oh yes, Ramus, Ally kills DO halfs Exp gains in Exp pool.
i'd rather not use allies, except to soften up enemys.
hence i dont hesitate to kill my allies using Fire Storm (they dont seem to mind, since they die quickly), if it means collateral kill on the enemys.



also, if Ramus wants to cahnge the sprites of the Special Pandamonium lords to include Touhou characters, please do provide the edited sprite file.

sign me up too, but do expect a days(or 2) delay.  i wanna level Earth so i can use Shatter.

Ramus posted it back two pages ago. But I guess I'll have to post to make sure everyone can see it.

There you go, your sprites with Touhous in them. It should make things more interesting. :P

ah. thank you.

even so, wouldn't it be nice if there were yukkuri in there?

if we were to ever play a new game, try replacing UglyThings with Yukkuris, or better yet, replace most monsters with Yukkuri types, ie, Eels with Iku-yukkuris, rats with Reimu yukkuris, and so on.

I would do it myself if it weren't for the fact that the bmp file can't be changed at all in terms of it's file size and being a mac user I lack MS paint to do any work on the bmp file. :P

Hopefully, whenever this game gets finished and we jump to 0.5.1 I could probably be able to lend a hand in designing some sprites since all the sprite files are done on a png file there which I can work with without difficulty(though I really wish I knew how to compile the crawl file so I could make all sprites were 32x32, they're all set on their own indiviual sizes so I would have to work with what's given). But yeah for now what you have is what you got unless you can take it to the MS paint. :P

Include a list of clearly defined suggestions for who should become what please.  I should have just about every Touhou character ever made in PatchCon style (pixiv raid, yay) along with some other series, Nanoha and Higurashi.  Power Rangers too.  So yeah, give me a list.

Photobucket is being a pain.  Sorry guys, no images.


Okay, back with Suika, didn't realize it was my turn.  Guess what we're doing today?  If you said invading the Gold Dragon Fortress, you're right!  So yeah, no screenshots since I've done this already.  Where to now?  If you guessed the Slime Pits because we now have uncorrodable armor, you're right!

Image 303

Oh crud, right, the acid spitting plant room.  >_O  If I want to get down further, I need to make it past this room.

Image 304

First rule to stealth, there's always a back door.  Also, I don't even have to go in there for the Slime Pits.  It's to the right of the place.  In we go.

No going to bother explaining this place, you've already heard about it from Patch.

GOD GIFT

Mace of Minimuunn
Dex +1
Levitation
Blink

Useful for getting out of bad situations.  Let's check the plusses on this baby.

+11, -3

WTF?  Where's the damage on these things?!

And dead.  :D

Thank you giant eyeball and a room full of acid spitters.  Hope you enjoyed that folks.  Yeah, I didn't really try this time around due to the fact I wasn't in the mood.

Post by: Totaku on August 11, 2009, 02:44:19 PM
You know what I have to say about Panda land so let's cut the chase here...

Where to begin....

After making preperations, Patch traveled down to Panda land on her way down she took out a few things.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1720/picture1ozi.png)
Her Ice magic went up (just 5 to go!)
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8339/picture2gnp.png)
As well as her Traps and doors skills too.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7161/picture3psa.png)
Eventualy Patchouli reaches the gates and enters PAndemonium.... Here's hoping I survive....

First place wasn't bad.... pretty much minor demons, and maybe green deaths here and there. Easy picking. Patch spent her time fighting and...
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3963/picture4vhw.png)
She got fighting skills. This may not seem like much but in a way it can help as it can build her HP. Something she sort of needs...

No Pandalord though, floor was rather empty...
(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/8317/picture6coj.png)
Next area... pretty open ended. Lot more demon varaities here. Still alot of weak demons... with your occasion feind here and there....
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7154/picture7s.png)
Then I found him... A panda lord!

I ran till I could recover some magic and use to crystal ball to replenish the rest but once I did I confronted him and....
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9653/picture8brj.png)
BURNINATED HIM!!!

Somehow he went down rather quick (or he vanished)but there was no rune in sight, guess I'll have to keep going deeper...
(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3015/picture9twd.png)
Third Floor....contained alot of shadow type demons. Here we have a demonic crawler. This freaky thing isn't all that tough, but is a little immune to fire and ice. Still a few case and he goes down easily.

Sure there were lotd of those and shadow demons, but what could make this place any worse?...
(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/3521/picture10h.png)
Executioner....
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2792/picture11y.png)
LOTS OF THEM!

Could Patch be able to stand up against them coming at a regular basis? They always appered very often and as usual are very brutal.

(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3795/picture12pdi.png)
Once thing was for sure, Patch was able to get her fire skills up. 3 more before she maxes out!

But in the end the Executioners got smart.....They hasted themselves and began to slicing patch like a salad. Eventually one execution manage to dodge every attack and slice patch so bad that she died...

This thus end my story....

Long sotry short...

EXECUTIONERS ARE THE BANE OF THE DEMON WORLD!!!! I HATE THEM!

OK wolf, it's your go!

and sign me up again

So I can has pretty screenshots like everyone else, can someone point me to a place I can download a Patchy-friendly player.bmp? It's not on the first page and I don't feel like trawling through the entire topic.

Also, to confirm, the most recent save is PatchoulisavefileGahennarune.rar from barasia's MediaFire folder, yes?

I take it you didn't see the post I made on this exact page here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=59.msg56213#msg56213). It has the file your tile your looking for.

And yes, PatchoulisavefileGahennarune.rar is her recent save.

Now assuming you survive your this turn without dying. Is there any chance you can put this file in the most recent save from the Suika run within the "Crawl Relay Folder within the "Patchouli Folder? Barasaia was suppose to do that but left it in a seperate save.

i assume after wolf its my turn.

tips: use fire storm often. takes down the executioners fast. no dodging for tthem.
use fire storm multiple times, because the blast does more damage than the fire.

dont level up ice. its useless. fire level is too high.

level up EARTH and transmigration, PLEASE.
pratise Sandblast, to level those up, ESPECIALLY EARTH.

I suppose I could try that next time, though I do have somthing I have to point out...

I can tell you want to use Shatter based on the spells you want Patch to focus on. But considering where we stand at....

Don't you think it'll take too long? (unless we find some manuals in those things?) For patch to learn them to the level that she can perform that? I mean it's a level 9 spell. And I think you'd have to get both Transfigurations and Earth up to about 15-20 and use a staff of wizardry to get something decent out of it. Otherwise it would be too risky.

Considering the number of time you have to use that spell it would take too long.

Perhaps we should settle for the second best thing like....Crystal Spear, It's very powerful and effective. And would be a terrific replacement for Mystic Blast. At least we could work on Earth magic to about 12-15 and then probably (if were lucky) Learn and use that spell along with a wand of wizardry with a great or excellent success rate.

Also the only reason I want to max out fire is because I want to increase the success rate and effectivness of fire storm. That spells already very good as I was able to take down a panda lord with it. But if I could get the success rate to perfect...then it would be impressive.

I also want to get ice up to a decent level and see if I can toss out things for Ice storm. Cause I suspect that one will be nearly as good. But I am still debating on the matter. Since I'll probably not have alot of time to work on that.

Other than that I also thing just for the sake of it. Patch should fight weak low rank demons in close range combat, she seems to handle them well. Only because if she gains a few levels in fighting, she can get extra HP.

That file is the Tile.bmp, actually, and it has all the enemies, but no Patchy or Suika. Meh. Ugly Patchy-less screenies from me, I guess.

Patchy must've stepped in a Befuddlement Trap, judging by her (temporary) makeover, and the fact that she doesn't really remember where she is or what she was doing. After wandering around for a while...

(http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss352/Orichalc71/recognition.png)

Hey! Something I recognize! Patchy visits Panda-land and begins exploring.

(http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss352/Orichalc71/danger.png)
I have a baaaad feeling about this...

After smiting a few demons, the Great Sif Muna bestows a new spellbook upon our heroine!

That would be an attack called smite.  It basically hits you from afar for unblockable damage.  All the enemies need to use it is line of sight.  Good news is that it costs a lot of MP and they can't use it often.  Bad news is, it still hurts.  So don't walk down that hallway, it would have been better if you blinked several times across as to speed up the travel without getting hit too much.

Also, don't worry, that kills a lot of people.

@wolf

you need to press - to alter your image.
just toggle off all hats, clothes, boots etc, because the 'naked' image is actually patchy.

also nice try. too bad your unfamiliar with smoke demons and their abilities.
you may try a fire storm on them, because the blast can damage them....


my turn then?
expect an update on saturday, since i got uni.

another good ring, although i'm not too sure about its usefulness.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run98.jpg)
after killing all those around, i have about 100 turns left.
you bet i'm going to fight the boss.

aww, she's still asleep. Patchy casts Haste, and engages in a  Epic Danmaku battle.

(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run100.jpg)
Strategy used:
use haste.
(on retrospect, i should have wear amulet of resist slowing, as it POWERS UP your Haste.)
Use Forescry
Use Deflect missiles
Wield Crystal ball of Energy. (Refill mana when mana reaches 30/50)
Spam Crystal spears.
Cast Abjuration to get rid of summons.

She fires several electric bolts and iron bolts, but thanks to Forescry and Deflect missiles, Patchy dodged them easy.
then she changes strategy and summons monster instead, but i jsut counter the summon with Abjuration.

and, my god, JUST HOW MANY CRYSTAL SPEARS DOES IT TAKE TO KILL YOU!
i must have fired more than 10-15 spears, with a Crystal Ball refill every 3 shots.

when she's almost dead, i use the staff of conjure to upgrade to Powered Up Crystal Spear, and took her down quickly, depleting my mana as well.

Patchy didn't even get a scratch. (Cerebrov, or who ever she is didn't even get beyond 3 tiles closer to Patchy)


(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/kean283/Patchouli_run101.jpg)
After resting, getting the rune, and removing that curse on that fiery epic sword, i end my turn a little beyond my turn quota.
good luck on finding the other 2 runes.



NOTE: in one of the Special Runes map, the boss is a  Unique Killer Klown. the place is full of neqoxecs.
WEAR AMULET OF RESIST MUTATION!

in the other Special Map, its a Fortress of Metal walls.
its Full of Executioners and Death Crawlers.
the big boss, will fire a special cloud that poisons you SEVERELY and slows you down, much like the breath of a Death Drake.
WEAR AMULET OF RESIST SLOWING.

If no one minds, I would like to end the Suika run ASAP due to the Dwarf/Dorf/Suika Fortress thing starting up.  After Totaku's turn, I'd like to make a run that picks up the slime rune, goes straight to Zot and grabs the orb, if you guys don't mind.

I don't really mind. That is while you at least try to level her up decently. I don't like the idea of a level 22 character in the Realm of Zot.

That's the fun part.  I've managed to get a level 15 character into Zot (Vampire Chaos Knight, Abyssal Rune, Snake Rune, and Swamp Rune) and jumped straight to level 25.  The rest was cake walk from there.

Hohoho go right ahead Ramus, looking at the current stand point, if things work out we may finish both charaters almost at the same time. XD

So where shall we go today?

Anyways...

Following after defeating Rena Ryuugu (HOW THE HECK DID SHE BECOME A DEMON LORD?!), Patchouli continued on her journey she continuously fought against demons as they kept popping up smaking all the strong ones with Crystal Spears! Eventually...
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2351/picture1tpu.png)
Her Earth magic increased...

And as she picked fights with weaker demons..
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6710/picture2bsy.png)
Her fighting skills increased. While we all know it's not exactly vital for her to learn this...it does however build her HP. I like to aim her to have at least level 5 fighting. Simply because by then she should have about 125 HP. I would feel more secure...

In fact being already at 107 HP was a bit...relaxing....
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2941/picture3pet.png)
Panda Lord from the get go!

This guys wasnt all that bad. One burnination storm, and 3 crystal spears later and he fell....
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1143/picture4guo.png)

Nothing special here.... a few demons, some food, that was about it...

Next area!
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/923/picture5czj.png)
Oh joy, another strange area....let's see what we can find here...
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3125/picture6dhw.png)
Just as PAtch was beginning to explore, she confronted the ghost of Meiling!

If anyone knew Meiling from the last Crawl run, Meiling was quite dangerous she may have used her fists to do the fighting. But the damange she did was outragous, especially when she used bladehands!

Also I didn't know MEiling knew Symbol of Tourment?! Crap she hurts!!!

Patch had to be quick, she hasted, she fired crystal arrows.... within 3 shots later, Meiling fell and Patch had gain tons of experience.(Still proving that even as a frail magician, she can kick the arse of a doorgaurd that work at the mansion)

(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/2889/picture7zyw.png)

During the battle with the Panda lord Patch had to use blink a few times and...
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9615/picture8ins.png)

I really should consider giving Patch Teleport Self sometime. Could come in useful...
(Also why didn't you bring the teleport wand Barasia?!!!)

Another floor...another pandalord....
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6956/picture9lmf.png)
Easy pickings... Oh and I got a scrool of Armor enchantment...

Used it on Patch's robe of resistance. Now it's +4 (Hooray!)

Next Pandaland floor...

Suddenly I feel like I'm in an area that gives me a sense of deja vu... have I been here before?

OH CRAP!!! EXECUTIONERSS!!!!!
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2457/picture10war.png)

Again I was on the terrible floor with all those executioners....

This is not going to be an easy trip haste, crystal spears and fire storms assue. PAtch kept the Executioners at bay while trying to recover MP...
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/360/picture11lkb.png)
Oh and I found gold dragon hide. Nice stuff if I had armor enchantment. But it would be wayyyyyyyy too heavy for patch. Not getting it...

She also found this wand..
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8740/picture12xxm.png)

Now this may actually come into use. I'll save it for later...

After slowing making to the inner chamber... she meets a new unspeakable evil...
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9656/picture13ycm.png)
EX RUMIA!!!!!!!

Now I forgot the exact name of this Panda Lord. But Ex Rumia is rather vicious. She's capable of slowing you down, shoot clouds of pestilince simalar to a death Drake (meaning lower max HP), Draining Bolts and even poions arrows! She is rather dangerous to fight even when hasted. Right from the get go she slow Patch down and drains some of her max HP down as she escaped. Eventually she even caught up to her.

Patch had to resort to blinking away from Ex-Rumia because it was the only way she could survive her for the moment as she was not prepared to battle her...

While blinking away from Ex Rumia, Patch sneaks in through the other side and...

The Dark Rune of Zot was found!

She takes out her firey funnel cloud and grabs the run..

After some recharging and some luck with her crystal ball Patch decides to return....
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3631/picture15gxd.png)
And face Ex Rumia!

HAsting herself right away she started firing her crystals spears at the powerful youkai of darkness and weaken her a bit before blinking and continued the assult until she fell.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/954/picture16cbd.png)
Honestly though.... she was rather difficult to put out of misery.... Also Earth Magic up!
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9923/picture17cmp.png)
Next Floor!

More things as werid demons as usual...

Patchouli eventually comes across a large gate....would it be safe to enter?

Apperently not, it was filled with smoke demons and Feinds behind glass walls that attempted to smite Patch from the distance... she had to blink to escape from there assult.

(Barasia, I though Firestorm could go through glass wall. Patch nearly got killed by her own firestorm!)

After escaping from the smiting zone, Patch reach a hallway and confronts a Panda lord, but he was heavily guard and had the power to use hellfire! Patch was hurt badly and being down to 1 HP she was stuck and unable to do much as a last resort she used her scroll of teleportation and with alot of luck... she survived and blinked out of the chamber....

Patch spent the rest of the time recovering...
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/2823/picture19y.png)

So as of this point, remeber the panda lord here can use hell fire which means he must be dealt with quickly.

Also you are out of scrolls of teleportation...one screw up here and your finished...

Someone forgot thier teleportation wand from the hive. :P

Anyways.... 3 unique runes down.... one to go. plus the common rune from here and Patch's rune hunt will be officially done.

Then it'll be off to Zot to finish her quest!

Ramus it's your go!

And I'm signing up again to (hopfully) finish off Pandaland!

And I just noticed this....

WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING THE LONG SWORD OF DISTROTION BARSASI!!!?!!

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO GET OUT OF THIS EVIL PLACE WITHOUT IT!?!!!

Post by: Ramus on August 16, 2009, 07:41:41 PM
Okay guys, we finish Suika's run here and now or bust.  I'm going to be covering the Vaults to get the third rune and from there, it's straight south to Zot.  Let's go!  And no, I don't expect to survive, but bite me.  Expect general applause and what not after this if I win.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/305.png)

So yeah, the vaults.  With a little less acid spitting monstrosities than the Slime Pits.  Also, god gift, WARPED Splint Mail.  +0 Splint Mail of the Devil.  -1 str, +2 dex.  SUCKS.

I head straight down.  At most, I'll stop by the Hall of Blades if I even see it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/306.png)

Spinx.  An EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL creature.  It's not only smite happy, it also has the ability to stun lock you.  OH THE PAIN!  Good news is that I hit level 18, with 33 strength and 163 HP total.

Oh hey, hall of blades.  In we go!  And we come out with one short sword of distortion.  Good enough.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/307.png)

One very boring branch later and it's time for lots and lots of blood.  Note that Patch didn't get here until like level 25, we're here at 18.  RAGE ON!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmU2R9lTivY

Epic song included.

First thing to do is open a scroll of teleportation and get out from the mob.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/308.png)

ENGAGE!

Two guards dead.

Three guards dead.

Four guards dead.

Eight guards dead.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/309.png)

OH LORD

QUICKSILVER DRAGON

This is the FASTEST dragon in the game, and SECOND FASTEST enemy in the game.  And it's going to RAAAAPPPPEEEE MMMMMEEEEEE

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/310.png)

So I make it back up stairs only to meet Boris, the eviler twin of Borris.  Fun facts:  He's a lich.  He was once an adventurer who was a toy of Xom.  He never dies.  He always comes back.  He dies easily.

Ten guards dead.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/311.png)

:O

It's... it's beautiful... a tear comes to my eye when I see such an item.

And I die... to an EYEBALL.  More accurately, I died to an eyeball that stunned me when a lich decided to show up.  ;_;

Maybe next time we'll finish Suika's run.

@Totaku.

EPIC FIGHT WITH RUMIA!
well done. its the second hardest boss fight to me there, the hardest being Rena Ryuugu (is that right?), cause she takes more tahn 20 crystal spears to kill.
so, well done again, considering you didn't listen to me and used amulet of resist slowing to coutner the slowing effect.

oh yeah. sorry about the mix up about the fire storm.......
i got confused because i remember in a different version, some firestorms can go through windows.......
im still not sure about 1.5.1



NOTICE:
in .5.1, THERES NEW MINI VAULTS.
these didn't appear in .5 due to a bug, SO GET 1.5.1!!!
if we want to start a new character, i vote Remilia, the vampire death knight.
or Komachi the human fighter(spear)
Flandre the vampire Evocator
Reimu the human paladin
Sakuya the spriggan/human assasin

if possible, i can gap hax a matching artefact for the characters
Scythe "Finisher" for Komachi. (Glaive of the Guard is too epic for her)
Vampire Tooth for Remilia (Sword of Doom Knight is more Rumia than Remilia no?)
Sceptre of Asmodues/ Staff of dispater Staff of olgreb for Flandre
Sword of Jihad for Reimu
Spriggan knife for Sakuya

its cheating of course, but in the name of imagery.

i assume its my turn now, so i'm pretty sure i can kill the next boss, and end this darn Pandaland run.
expect update by........er.......crap. i ahve tests!
nevermind.
skip my turn for now.

Totaku just finished his turn is will be posting shortly.  After that, it's my turn, and I guess (IF I don't die) I'll be finishing the game.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 43, MoTK : 6
Post by: Totaku on August 16, 2009, 11:01:12 PM
Ok, it's time for another update!
(http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3941/picture1oxy.png)
When we last left off...Patch was exploring the depths of Pandemonium trying to obtain the last two runes before leaving...will she succeed?

She decided to continue resting as she wanted to prepare for the worst...but just then the Panda Lord comes bursting through the door! Ready as ever!

PAtch had no choice but the battle him right there and then. She hasted her self and blasted the brute with Crystal spears! And then finshed him off with a fire storm as he summoned demon buddies to his aid...
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1893/picture2nri.png)

With that Patch waited for the fire to die down before she walked into the area once more and blinked her way across the Smite zone. (Boy them demons are smart to set up such clever defenses. :P)

She then travels up the hall where the panda lord stood and to her surprise....
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4904/picture3cei.png)
She discovered the Demonic Rune!!!

One more Rune to go!!!

Patch takes a portal and ends up in a new place....it looked rather stange...lost of abominations and unoyxls or whatever they're called (I rather call them the Purple Chuthlus because of thier appearance. :P )

Anyways, they were all easy picking but just as if things couldn't get more crazy...

We have the grand youkai of the gaps here...
(http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4897/picture5jae.png)
Yukari!

And just like you'd expect Yukari to do... she was sound asleep. :P Though her demonic buddy was awake and chase patch a bit....

After taking him down. Patch regained her mana and hasted herself and battled Yukari.
(http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/8960/picture6ueh.png)
PAtched launched a crystal spear that woke up yukari as it impaled her. She began charge forward as she continued to lauch more spears...infact she did very little...at most she summon a few demons.... but she was then nuked and further impaled by another spear before she finally gave in.

Sad....she didn't even try to give it her all... just like she really is. :P

Without Yukari's defeat however this meant Patch finally obtained the last rune....

The Glowing rune!
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1162/picture7ntg.png)
With that, Patchouli has now obtained all 5 runes from Pandemonium!!!

She now has to find a way to escape...

Thanks to the fact the the sword of distortion was left behind in the hive, patch could not find an easy way out. She would need to either...find a Pandalord who can banish her....or...
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1383/picture8upp.png)
Find a zot trap and step on it till it banished her...

It took about 50 or so tries... As the trap kept releasing demons being mutated and other crap but refusing to banish her...

Still...after taking so long...she was able to escape into the abyss through the zot trap!!!
(http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/4022/picture9jgm.png)

The trip in the abyss was rather quick because within a few turns she was able to find an exit and escape!
(http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4431/picture10w.png)

With that Patchouli returned to the hive where she dropped off her runes....thus ending her turn...
(http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9458/picture11r.png)
Next time, Patchouli will now make an attempt to GO FOR THE ORB! For it is now time to end her quest though this place!

Here's where her mutations stand.
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1596/picture12nkp.png)
Considering where we are in the point of the dungeon, now, most of these mutations will not be a bother for Patch and her quest... There will be plenty of meat where she'd heading to next. It's just a matter of how quickly she'll get the job done. Oh and yes I down some potions of mutation. She had less mana, but recovered from that, and she also now has blue scales covering part of her.... the rest were side effect from the zot trap's radiation...

Anyways...Signing up again!!!

you know you cans just use evoke sense surrounds to find a portal to the abbyss yes?
simply continue through the panda zoo till you find that portal.
the shout uncontrollably will be annoying........as well as fast metabolism.

tip: LEARN ALISTAIR'S INTOXICATION.
use it against those draconians.
i still skip my turn, so go ahead and end the game totaku.
if you can, use Shatter to make a QUICK get the orb strategy, instead of fighting tons of baddies to get there.
thoes ancient liches and orbs of fire and TOO powerful.
when you get the orb, control teleport out and end the game~ with all the runes of course for epic scores.

Post by: Ramus on August 17, 2009, 12:41:05 AM
Well, if I don't mess this up (I've been having a bad history of that), the game should end here or be close to ending with Totaku finishing it.

First off, switch to the Archmagi Robe and pimp it up to +7 with some scrolls of enchant armor.  Patch has effectively lost any ability to learn more magic BUT in exchange we now have even more powerful spells.

Final stats:

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/312.png)

Final spells:

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/313.png)

And, barasia, no.  Instead we get a better spell, which invokes hibernation onto cold blooded enemies, like Draconians.  Badass.

With three runes, we move onto Zot.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/314.png)

Welcome to Zot, the most purple endgame area you'll ever see.  I'll admit, I don't know much about these enemies because I've only been here a handful of times.  Just know, most of them hurt you bad. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=201BeAsCCn4&feature=PlayList&p=6B2A46D223CFFEC8&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=46)

Like the Moth of Wrath.  It's hairy, it moves fast, hits hard, and mutates.  Joy joy.

I make the decision to head straight down.  There's nothing left in this game to do but end it.  (Also, Ghost Rena the Berserker with artifact dragon armor and an artifact executioner's axe of speed not to mention the ability to control blinks is on all five floors of this place and I don't care to meet her.)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/315.png)

The Death Cob.

I'll just be giving you in game descriptions at this point because these things go off the edge of sanity.

A dreadful undead cob of maize.  Look, this one was probably a mistake.  We're sorry.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/316.png)

Draconian, in the poisonous lime flavor.  Shoot to kill, these things have some nasty poison.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/317.png)

Ah crud.  Black is negative energy, white is, ah, ice?  And purple is sticky flames.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/318.png)

I know Choke Point Fu.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/319.png)

AH HA HA!  BURN!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/320.png)

Final floor, final destination.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/321.png)

Of course, how else to top off an epic roguelike than to have to fight Mima in the final area?

A fat, evil wizard in a stupid-looking hat.

Actual in game description.  Sounds pretty accurate, minus the fat part.

Patchouli, can you overcome this final test?

Also has the BEST in game quotes for Mima.
.
.
.
Painfully easy.  Three crystal spears and she's done for.  Oh well, we've championed our last test before the Orb, let's put on some more fitting music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewmCDZN57Rc&feature=PlayList&p=70F8ADE443A915A7&index=141

Listen to it in Hi-Def for full epicness.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/322.png)

Mannosuke!  One of the many that guard the Zot Orb.  Fiendishly durable and fast, they mow you down.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/323.png)

Zot trap, GACK!  Poison cloud.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/324.png)

Norris, eviller twin of Noris.  Unlike Noris, he never died.  And he's always ready to kick your ass. He's so radical he doesn't need armor.  Wields magic and is an awesome fighter.  He dies.

I run back up to recover some MP and HP.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/325.png)

OH NO!  RENA, the legendary demigod berserker with the ability to haste, might, berserk, and is invunerable to most forms of magic.  ;_;

SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR DIE DIE DIE

Survival.

Anyway...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/326.png)

Where is everyone?
Oh wait, there's a King Lich.  Die by the hands of my spear.

OH SHI- The crystal ball just sucked out all of my MP.  SHIT SHIT SHIT

And dead.  Damn ball.

Good luck Totaku, don't use that crystal ball too much.  And I'm resigning up.

Post by: barasia on August 17, 2009, 01:19:50 AM
epic fail.
i prefer Alistair's intoxication because its 100% success rate, compared to hibernation.....

when you cast hibernation, they MAY NOT FALL ALSEEP.
plus its sucks because they just wake back up when you hit them.

suikas ability to make everyone happy (ie intoxication) will GUARENTEE they all become intoxicated and cant do shit.
try it please.

oh yes its embarrasing isn't it? being ended by your own crystal ball.

Note: if you REALLY want to, learn Dispel undead.
it does epic damage to ghosts.
no misses.
no resistances.
while your spears can very much miss ghosts sometimes.

if totaku dies AGAIN, i will take my turn.

i will officially cleanse my system first, using cure mutation.
then learn Intoxication, Cast noise, Shatter.
forgetting Abominations, detect curse, sandblast and what not.

Second off, you're not next because I already claimed my turn before you resigned up.
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Game: 43, MoTK : 6
Post by: Totaku on August 17, 2009, 01:36:44 PM
Ok I'm done with my run and here's what happened!

As we know, Patch is currently at the hive trying to decide on how to take care of getting the orb... she planned out her equipment..
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3220/picture1psf.png)
(I agreed with Ramus design on the most part I only did a few small changes...)

And rearranged her spell list.....
(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/3391/picture2ahp.png)

Now she's armed to the teeth with deadly offensive magic!
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/77/picture3wpy.png)
Now it's time to get the orb!

Welcome to the Realm of Zot! Where the most bizzare and dangerous creature exsist and everything is here to guard the orb so Patch my keep her guard up!

In most of the process Patch basiclly just rushed through the floors because it was bound to be intense if she stayed to long on each floor....

Let's meet some of the friendly fokes of the Zot verse....
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2838/picture5ykm.png)
This here is a Draconian. The most basic kind of Draconian. They're basiclly half human/ half dragon. And are rather strong..

One thing everything must know regarding a draconian is thier color....Each draconian has a unique color that represents thier abilities....

Red ones breath fire and are fire resistant
White ones breath ice and are ice resistant
Pale ones breath steam...good for a hot bath. :P
Black ones breath Electricity, and are resistant to electricity
Green ones breath poisonous gases and are partially resistant to poison.
Purple one breath out energy blasts. Not strong against any element though...
Moltted ones breath out flames...sticky flames....good for burning your scrolls!
And finally the yellow ones....breath acid....good for corroding your equipment.

A rather deadly combination if you run into a bunch of these...at once, but even alone a draconian can still be a threat...treat them with caution!

Might as well try Ice Storm...
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1712/picture6laz.png)

This Ice Storm spell is nice, but now that I see it, it doesn't compare to Fire Storm... Ice Storm is more like an Super powered version of the Bolt of Ice that explodes upon impact and released ice vapors for extra damage....much preffer the Firey explosion that makes  fire tornados.... but I'll be using it anyways...

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9986/picture7fiw.png)

This Draconian here is a shifter. Capable of using translacation spells. Not all that tough though...
(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/5080/picture8p.png)
And behind him is a Scorcherer. A draconian that lovers to play with mid to high rank spells.

Ramus forgot to being up the fact that Moths of Wrath can also at time make a target beserk. And they will make anyone and I mean ANYONE go beserk. So if this guy is near a powerful draconian...WATCH OUT! Kill it quickly before he makes a party full of RRAAAAAAAGGGGEEEE!!!!
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/3684/picture10ilo.png)
Draconian Knights....the tanks of draconians. Mean and and tough. Hard hitter and of course they have thier breath. :P Regardless take them out in the distance with Patch.
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8484/picture11s.png)
Draconian Annialator, Strong in magic, especialy destrcutive magic... and can hurt! Take out quickly....
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2815/picture12aad.png)
And this is Minoriko (The death cob). Quick, agressive meleers. Simply burn them and they'll fall rather quick... Why have Minoriko as a death cob? Com'on when the last time you had corn fight and not think of her possibly?
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2489/picture14qmz.png)
Somehow I found a shaft in the zot realm that got me down to floor 4.... how interesting..
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/425/picture15s.png)
This guy here is the Killer Klown. Because spelling things with k is kool. Reason this guy is dangerous is kause he basiclly will try to blink to you if possibily and then attempt to hit out in any possible weird style that they can. Wether it's using trip wires, karate kicks you, flips. You get hit by him, expect to be burned, forzen or drained. They're rather obnoxious... But that's a klown for ya....Kill the klown with fire or cie or whatever...

Other guys I didn't mention:

Cursed Toe: A floating toe that runs around is rather tough and hard to fight. They will fight you and the possibly summon demons and undead to aid them... also give you some food fungus to fight. XP

Draconian Zealot: BAsiclly a draconian with high rank magic. Every dangerous if left alone, take them out quickly!

Draconian Summoner: Summons Dragons of many types. Can be dangeroud....

Now...ON TO FLOOR 5!

On floor 5 things will only get harder...especially since the orb of zot is nearby....

Will patch get it?
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3440/picture16xka.png)

Then Patch confronts a Rena's Ghost.... Rather viscious user, cast fire and haste herself.

WEnt down 3 shots
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2456/picture18c.png)

Patch ventures forward an confronts the manly guardian that protect the Orb!...The Orb Guadians (AKA Mannosukes!)

So many manly guardians.... it's not funny! (http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/3954/picture19e.png)

Then we got an old abnoxious enemy....The Acient Lich!!!
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1023/picture20vjz.png)
Thanfully Crystal Spears work wonders on these guys. XD

Now up here is a new face. A rather menacing creature known as the Electrical Golem...
Extremly fast, blinks like crazy and loves to shoot lightning at you. Without insulation these guys would HURT!

But thankfully Patch is better off than that...
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4723/picture22g.png)
Now here is one of the other things that guard the orb....

The Orbs of Flre. These balls of fire fly around and fire flames at you constantly. Fire protection is a must... They are also well protected against most attacks an magic. But to make things worse...they can mutate you too! So you need to be either really strong... or.. blast them with Crystal spears! They're surprisingly weak to that.
(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4249/picture23h.png)
Here it is! At last! The Orb of Zot is in sight! So close yet so far!! And it's surrounded by manly guardians!
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9426/picture24gcu.png)
I don't think words can even describe this here.... this is just creepy if you can somehow depict it in your heads....
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9740/picture25y.png)
After defeating the manly guardians....Patchouli finally reached the orb!
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8246/picture26v.png)
Now let's get the heck out of here!!

Things that you should know....

Once you get the orb of zot it becomes a mad dash to get out of the place alive in one piece. Why? Because the moment you get the orb...every demon in the neighborhood will start coming after you!

They can range from very weak demons, or undead, to even Pandemonium Lords! They all have thier sights set on killing you on the spot! So you must make haste if you wish to live...

Using the ring that allowed her to control teleport. Patch teleported her way to the stairs and started running up! Her main complication was the 3rd floor as she fell through a shaft and didn't find any stairs to go up or down in. So Patch had to fight though several draconians and demons while looking for a way up... Thankfully she was able to find a path and keep running up...

She eventually leaves the zot realm and makes a run to the hive! She drops a massive number of her goods she used on her journey and gathered the runes she had collected....all 15 of them! While the demons attempted to attack her!

She blinks and starts making a run up the dungeon...only 14 floors to climb!

(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2682/picture29s.png)
At last she was nearly done! She went through most of the floors with little dificulty and now she's about to reach the 1st floor!

Find the stairs and get out of there and Patch's mission is complete!

One final obstical stood over Patch however...a pit fiend...who apperently knew how to use Hellfire. Patch was able to get the under hand of the demon. But she nearly got killed by it in the process...realizing the situation she deicded it would be best to control teleport to her locations...

And so she made it!
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4919/picture30m.png)

She escaped from the evil dungeon! With the Orb of Zot! And 15 runes!

Here's the final results!

(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8610/picture32o.png)
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8379/picture33d.png)

And her final score!
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9532/picture34ahe.png)
7431970 points!!

Now that was one hell of a run... now maybe we should try to 1cc? This for the good ending? lolololol. Ok I'm kidding. But yeah Patch's run is over!

It's now down to Suika!

I'll figure out if I'll sign up to help Suika Melee through the mess that she must face...she's got a rather uphill battle for her here...

Okay, let's try this again.  I'll skip a bunch of pictures and just head to the bottom of the dungeon looking for...something...?

Along the way, I get:

Golden Dragon Armor, buffed up to +2.
Ring of Qonah (+3 Dex, Nr+)
Shaolin Ring (+8 EV)

Welcome to floor 21.

Three hell knights, five yaks, one unique, and one necromancer later, and I got a whip of distortion.  I know where we'll get the last rune.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/329.png)

No, not Hell.  Not the Abyss either, that takes forever.  We're going into Panda Land, hopefully grabbing a rune and hopping on out.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/330.png)

Bloody Hell.  (Pun very intended)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/331.png)

Panda Lord.  Means we're near a rune.  No wait, no rune?  Huh, moving on then.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/332.png)

Not worth it.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/333.png)

Summon Ugly Things Spam!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/334.png)

Victory?  Anyone ready for Zot?

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/335.png)

The Abyss, my lovely home (sorta).  It's all smooth sailing from here.

Gift from Yuka~

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/336.png)

Badass cloak.  I escape the Abyss, grab the three runes and make the final descent.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/337.png)

Dr. Incognito, Dwarf Fighter apparently.

And this descent is boring...

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/338.png)

I TAKE THAT BACK!  QUICKSiLVER DRAGGGGGGOOOOONNNNNN!  IT'S GOING TO RAAAAAPPPPPEEEEEE MMMMMEEEEEE!

Ha ha, just kidding.  I kill it easy.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/339.png)

Badass ring.  48 AC.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/340.png)

Time to end this.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/341.png)

Final stats before Zot.  Also, Suika is having trouble with the Draconians, so help her if Rena shows up.

LEVEL 20!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/342.png)

Draconians hurt real bad.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/343.png)

Boris, on the other hand, dies very quickly.


(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/344.png)

THE TENTACLES!  SO MANY TENTACLES!  Really, loads of abombinations out of no where for no real reason.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/345.png)

Banished to the Abyss thanks to a Draconian.  And back, piece of cake.

SHAFTED TO FLOOR 4!

LEVEL 21!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/346.png)

It's the FINAL SHOWDOWN!  Time for fitting music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtPu_srgpFs&feature=related

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/347.png)

Mannosukes by the quarter of a dozen.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/348.png)

DRAGONS!  AND LOTS OF THEM!  They're easy though since I got the proper element protection (unlike a certain magician).

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/349.png)

King Lich, super fueled with dark energy and evil magic.  Can and will crystal spear you to death and abuse his summoning powers.
Killer Klown, probably the most badass enemy in the game, you can not grasp the true nature of its attacks.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/350.png)

Badass IF he quits messing around and actually fight me.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/351.png)

No really, he is a threat when he actually tries.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/352.png)

RUN FASTER SUIKA!  YOU'RE ALMOST DEAD!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/353.png)

We have a high concetration of MANLINESS!  APPROACHING OVERLOAD!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/354.png)

Activate teleportation!

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/355.png)

I run straight to the stairs with hasting.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/356.png)

You know the world is going to hell when hippos are appearing out of thin air.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/357.png)

No really, they're everywhere.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/358.png)

Good thing I invested some attack into that spiked flail of holy wrath.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/359.png)

On August 18, 2009, Ibuki Suika escaped the Zot Dungeon with the Zot Orb at level 21.

Welcome back to the surface world Suika!  This is the end of this Crawl Relay.  Let's not have another one for a good long time.

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/dmgalvez/crawlrelay2/a359ca2816e77965d8f9d3df741312c6.jpg)

TIME TO PARTY!  SWEET VICTORY! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3jda591M4)

Until next time (in which Sakuya will be likely chosen as the ONLY character), I will be working on a few things for the game:

-Dual wielding short blades, this does mean two daggers for Sakuya if I get it working.  Actually, any one handed weapon and a short balde from what I'm working on (aka, Youmu with a saber and katana).
-Human race that doesn't suck.

Hopefully the Crawl team accepts this stuff.

-Dual wielding short blades
You bet.

Post by: Totaku on August 19, 2009, 08:57:23 PM
Personally I'm impressed with this run in general

Patchouli got all the runes possible along with the orb in the game (took 3 days of gameplay to do.)

And Suika obtained the orb without reaching max level! (Only 21! and did it in 12 hours)

I look forward to the next game...When ever that'll be. ^^
Title: Re: Crawl Relay Run - Over
Post by: barasia on August 26, 2009, 11:00:20 PM
the next game will involve crawl ver 1.5.1 (or later if dual blades comes in).
mission?

Not the Orb of Zot.
your mission to get to Level 27 Ziggurat.

i have a pic of me fighting up to 20 Daevas(with angels backups) in lvl27 Ziggurat.
i died of course T.T.

other dangers include an army of orc warlords, an army of Pandalords(more than 20 Pandalords=epic death), and so on.

Ziggurat is considered to be Phantasm of Crawl, so do try it.

This can only end very, very badly.

Go for it, I'll probably take a couple turns.

I'd be up for a restart, too.

Post by: Totaku on May 06, 2010, 05:12:40 AM
What interesting timing. I had thoughts of doing a crawl relay as well. Though I think we need to figure out how to work out the sprite configuration since it's different from before.

Likely it'll require some sprite work to recreate some graphics, but otherwise I'm in for it as well.
