Yeah, been married for much longer than that.
Tuning out's not the problem, it's when you actually pay attention (after the initial blocking out the noise phase) that you forget what your doing and hit the wrong keys. |

Then again deaths just occur because you don't have enough get of jail cards like this effort tonight.
Fire hounds burned all my ?WoR and I was trudging my way back up from 1100', with no ?id, and I'd just tried on a new " which turned out to be cursed Infra, so my "SlowDigest was wasted, and running into orc hordes with no backwards paths except that which leads to a hydra, and only one remaining ?phase. Spewing really, as I'd scored two Resistance items which I hadn't Id'd. Oh well, shit happens. Code:

What's a source of protection from Sound/Stunning?
Was having a quick little run this morning and got smashed up by Vibration Hounds. Wasn't too impressed by my inability to remember to heal myself either. :( Narthanc was a nice find, with the ability, at the time of finding it, of cracking out about 90+ in damage per round. Code:

Fighting a pack of hounds should always be considered optional. I'll do it if I have the proper resist (making it non-inventory/non-life threatening) and I need the XP. A good example is that I'll occasionally fight gravity hounds if I find myself in a good location with good equipment to do so, because they can be worth a lot of XP depending on your CL.
Fighting two packs at the same time is probably never worth it. If you are powerful enough to do so effectively, then the XP gained is going to be lousy and the certainly aren't going to be any drops. |

You arent likely to see a good source of RSound until fairly deep. The usual sources are Isildur or Rohirrim, or occasionally the random resist on ego armor or shield. The only ego item that grants it is a Crown of Serenity, which is much rarer than an artifact source.

buzzkill: I got back door bettied by the Vibration Hound while slapping the Fire Hounds around, i.e. I wasn't backed into a corridor I could be got from any direction in the case of the Vib Hounds, it was from behind. My brain fade stopped me from using any of the applicable escape routes I had open to me.
It's all a learning experience. Like my latest one. Just because RNG gives you a superb feeling at 400' doesn't mean it's a jelly pit. I walked straight into a small diagonal vault today, killed everything inside, only issue was Smeagol who I couldn't see, but managed to corner and smash anyway. Might just be worthwhile investigating superb feeling levels at that depth in the future just in case it's another vault. And thanks for the Res Sound info Eddie/Pete. |
OMG! Pike's still alive! ;)
Amazing the difference Telepathy can make. Found the Blessed main gauche early on and it's been invaluable, combined with the -detDoors/Stairs I've managed to get down quicker than normal. Beaked Axe of Hurin is swapped in when actually in combat, but zooming down the levels the gauche is the main item. Just picked up Permanence which came with rPoi, so that's handy. Looks like I have everything I need to keep on diving. Swapped in the Agility gloves over Paurnen, as it gives me an extra swing with Hurin. I just got caught out by a Knight Templar @2050 who smacked me around, and meant I couldn't get into a small diagonal vault for the goodies. My escaping tricks were all wiped out trying to deal him enough damage but keeping alive to raid the vault. And the vault was tasty too, had one !Str plus four others not id'd yet. plenty of un'id'd rods too. Oh well, maybe next time. Nothings available back in town apart from _Tel and ?Phase. Haven't seen -TelOth yet in the game. Something I just noticed regarding Hurin. Does the Berserker rage act the same as the !Berserk? I.e. will my AC drop when it's activated? Cheers, GT Code:

Something froze my balls (*EDIT* seems it was an AMHD) just after I'd gone toe to toe with the Vampire Lord. Not enough hp to survive the breath so I was toasted.
Pretty happy how I went this time around though. Again, the Telepathy and rPoison coming early was nice. Surprisingly I did not find any cloaks this game. Code:
