This guy is a slow game so far. HP are a bit low, but so far it has been a very relaxed game- hp have fallen below the comfort threshold a few times, but I have yet to fear for Ibuprofin's life. Basically avoiding everything dangerous until I get speed. I'll get to speed ring depth on the next trip.

The oddest thing just happened. I went down some stairs and wound up in a room just big enough to hold the square I was in. OK, I thought, that's a great way to enter a level, and when I cast detect doors I'll find the secret door here. No dice. No door.

I didn't think V could generate a starting position like that. I have plenty of ways of escaping it, given that I'm at 4000'. But that could be fatal for a weak character with a light weapon.

At 4100' I got scared for the first time. An unidentifeid ring was off in a corner but I had to run past a a corridor leading to a room with Earth hounds and an Osyluth. I think I positioned myself wrong- more for the hounds than the Demon. Had I been one space back I would have been able to TA the Osyluth with an earth hound interposed. Instead it popped out and did ~300 hp damage in one round.

No choice at that point- I wanted to use my wand of TA, but if it failed I would die. Read ?tele_level.

Once again I am denied the fabled Alexandrite Ring at 4150. I really hope that's not Speed, though I have a sneaking suspicion it is. At any rate, I'm not going to try to deal with more than a dozen Chaos hounds right now.

How do you stay alive at this depth with 400hp and without RBase? Do you detect absolutely constantly and teleport almost everything away?

On 5.9.2008 23:22 aeneas wrote:
I have rBase from Rohirrim. I just haven't bothered *iding* it yet. You can get this deep without it, if you are very careful and have Scarabtarices, but it is very risky. Also, even with rBase, I die a lot ;). This guy is actually tougher than some of my characters are at this point, due to having spent a fair number of turns at shallow levels. It is interesting to note how small a difference it actually makes though, for the number of turns.

I really need Speed- sooner or later I will get killed if I can't find it. I'm also thinking about adjusting my kit for more Con. At the point of this dump 427 hp was still basically OK, but I've gone down another 400' or so, and it is getting a bit hectic. I have had a much harder time finding speed than I usually do at 4000'. If I'd been playing solely for a win I might have waited in the 40s to be able to cast haste, but that would have taken a while, giving me a lot of opportunities to mess up. I'd rather die at 4200' than at 2200'.

On 5.9.2008 23:31 awldune wrote:
Seems scary, but I agree if you are surviving at 2200 might as well dive. It's the suriving at 2200 part I have trouble with for mages.

In V306, is Raal's the rare one? It's been a while since I played V, and it's hard sorting out my pre/post JLE memories.

Yeah, mages definitely have their own set of issues. I haven't played them as much as I have the other classes, but Eddie's recent Mage win shows what's possible with them. But he's a pretty exceptional player- they're tricky for us mortals ;). Getting haste early is the biggest point in their favor, IMHO.

And it's certainly scary the first time you take the plunge and decide to just drop straight to 4000'. It gets less so once you've done it a few times, but it still remains a bit thrilling, which is a good thing IMHO. It's more fun that way, and that's worth losing some characters, for me.

One thing about it is that it's very quick- basically just smash and grab and then take some stairs. I went after anything close to where I came down that could drop a stat potion, as long as everything seemed safe. If I saw anything that was really likely to kill me I just went down as soon as I could. Once I found Mordenkainen's it went a lot faster. That's why it's not really _that_ dangerous. If I had been exploring every level I would have probably died at some point. _Now_ it's getting dangerous, but I won't have to stay alive that long to get strong enough to be pretty safe.

In 306 Kelek's is the deepest book. Raals is the second dungeon book- I've seen a fair number of them.

Haven't had much chance tio play this last week, so I thought I'd upload an update. I'm in town now. Up to this point I valued damage over hp, as I wanted to be able to kill packs as fast as possible, so I could get off the level as fast as possible. Now I think I need to prioritize hp and stealth. Thinking about swapping in the ring of con and westernesse, and the cloak of stealth. That or maybe the defender for more stealth- any advice?

On 15.9.2008 23:55 awldune wrote:
Definitely swap the cloak.

CON ring and Westernesse might be a good plan.

Do you know the hidden ability/resist of your Gondolin weapon? Might be worthwhile to townscum the Black Market for *Identify*, if you aren't going for a low turncount.

Stealth reaches diminishing returns pretty fast for a high-elf. I would not give up hp to boost it. However, regen from the defender would allow you to swap in weaponmastery.

Why the Ring of Damage, and does the Gondolin weapon give ESP? Assuming it doesn't, I think I'd go with HP here, with both Westernesse and RoCON. You have Tenser's, so even with a medium-power bow you are doing much more damage with the bow than in melee.

Also, maybe stash a Ring of Intelligence at home to improve ammo-brand failure, both in fail rate and in number of attempts/mana recovery. It makes a significant difference until cl 40+.

On 20.9.2008 22:47 aeneas wrote:
No, wish it gave ESP, no ESP found so far. It sustains... must be Dex, as I would remember if it were Con, and everything else is drained. I was prioritizing damage for a while because I wanted to be able to cut through the nearest pack of Trolls/Ghouls/etc as fast as possible while taking as little damage as possible, so I could go down before something nasty found me, and I didn't want to burn up lots of stacks of ammo killing trolls. For a long time I didn't have enough Con for a few extra points to matter much. That's why I am thinking about reconfiguring now- I probably should have done it before my last trip, which started at dlvl 77. Definitely should have dumped Thorongil a while back- I guess I got a bit sentimental about it. And you're right about the Int ring- I haven't bothered to enchant stuff up much so far, but it's time to switch to the bow and some bigger targets.

Good point about the regen. I've always felt that you can't have too much stealth, but you also can't have too many hp.... of course what I really need right now is speed.
