(clevel: 26, dlevel: 25) So far, so good. Trick with Goemon worked again. It took longer this time, but the wait was worth it as Minstrel knocked off 6 other uniques and tangled unsuccessfully with Fasolt twice before finally finding and killing Goemon at clevel 20. After that, he breezed through the low level quests and early Angband encounters.

My good luck with the Angand level 24 encounter continues, as Minstrel got Albrecht. Albrecht was actually a pain in the ass with his stealing and summoning, plus his disenchanting left Minstrel's armor a sad shadow of its former rather nice self. That having been said, I'm still quite pleased not to have run into Gachapin.

The original plan was to go with an elven Bard (two very poorly represented race/class options on the ladders that actually work nicely together), but they kept dying early. Finally, I decided to go with a Dunedain for variety, and wouldn't you know it? The first one actually gets some traction. So, I'm a bit disappointed its not an elf, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Stop teasing ... :-)
Does this trick with Goemon have anything to do with the wilderness near the Dragon's Lair? I just can't figure it out ...
Two places I find Goemon are L33 in the Castle, and the wilderness square where the entrance to the Dragon's Lair is. Never figured out how to make him appear, though :-(
You don't have to give it away if you don't want to, I'm just jealous!! :-)

hmm... With the crappy stealth, why not pick "sexy"? It improves everything, and everything tend to wake up fast anyway... i´ve played MD bards... will try Sexy next...
Goemon just gives Zanzetsuken, right?

Good luck!!!

Well, the extra stats from "sexy" would be handy, but there's a big, big difference between merely being bad at stealth vs. actually aggravating. For example, one of the Bard spells is, hmm, can't recall the name, but effectively gives you legendary(32) stealth while you're playing it. Makes the Vault quest a lot easier. If you're a "sexy" character, you have to actually fight your way through. To me, aggravation is almost never worth it.

Goemon drops Zantetsuken plus a couple other "good" items. He's like Uvatha in ToME.

(clevel:29, dlevel:32) Haven't had much time to play lately. Tried scumming the Dragon Lair for a while, but it was just too dangerous, so Minstrel went back to more level-appropriate dungeons. Got rapid confirmation that I'd made the right move when Minstrel found that nifty helmet while cruising down through the Forest. Just killed Shelob. Was easy once I switched to Hagen and used Doomcall. That is one awesome mid-level spell. Shelob's summons melted away as quickly as she could bring them, it kept Shelob stunned for most of the fight, and Minstrel was able to keep pounding away the whole time.

On 2.6.2005 05:36 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel:31, dlevel:36) A fight with some Nexus hounds scrambled his stats and his progress just totally ground to a halt after that. His CHR quickly rose even higher than it had been before, but he was never able to get more than 2 blows/round with Zantetsuken and somehow that totally halted his progress. Tried scumming Nexus hounds for a while, but was never able to get his stats scrambled again.

Doomcall was a great equalizer. Even weakened, Minstrel was able to take on Eol and big masses of mid-range monsters. Finally, though, he bit off more than he could chew. That pack of doom drakes seemed endless, and when he finally teleported away, he landed right next to the monk. Oh, well.

In Hengband, it is even worse since stat potions are so rare.
