Second attempt, first died ingloriously to an acolyte. Fun first dive, had to do a lot of scrambling to survive - throwing bolts at stuff, using whatever wand I found, etc.

Go Nick! top of the leaderboard! This is the one!

Absolutely. What could go wrong?

Second dive, mainly want free action now.

Still missing FA, and ?DeepDescent from DL21 to 26 made that scarier, but otherwise pretty well equipped. DSM and =RPois from a small vault at DL20 that I had no business attempting; luckily no paralysers.

OK, being at DL28 without free action is starting to wear thin - I have already survived one bout of extended paralysis while surrounded (happily by weakish things). Either I'll find it soon or die, I guess.

Now at DL31 with still no free action, lucky to survive a run-in with some ghouls. Better bow helps, and -TOther is a life-saver, but it's still all looking a bit dodgy.

=FA at the black market, it will be easy from here :)

Look at that sea of red, your in 5th at the moment by my count

Just returned from a run-in with several white wraiths out of a graveyard. I was trying to nab a !CON from the moat, but got swarmed with no escapes and had to recall with no potion. Don't care, because I'd just found Aglarang :)

I'm rooting for you. Well, I'm rooting for everyone but Nick needs to kick his own ass and beat a blackguard game.

Blackguard is not an easy class but the way it is designed towards the end, I'd call it justified.

Nice! My 5th or 6th attempt at this blackguard thing found Aglarang, managed to buy Deadly Powers, and immediately went mad with bloodlust and died to recklessness while trying to keep bloodlust going long enough to cast poison brand at the same time.

I wish you better luck and patience than I! :)

Pretty happy with the current situation. pConf is the big one I'd like (as well as more of all stats), but =INT is getting me to enough mana to cast Poison Brand and I now have SI and FA covered fairly sensibly (was wearing rings for both for a while).

Recent excitement was finding Ungoliant in a vault on DL35. I left her undisturbed.

Found Aulë (!) from a ?Acquirement on DL40. Still really need a whole lot more HP.

On 18.1.2020 06:45 Nick wrote:
Bit deeper, bit scarier. Still better using Aglarang than Aulë I think because of the speed, but that will change if I survive long enough to get more blows. Most dangerous encounters lately have been greater basilisks, who all seem to know to breathe dark at me.

Nothing much happening, stepped into a room, Kavlax breathed twice, dead. I guess that's what I get for not using detect evil.

RIP Nick a valiant effort
