To run, or not to run, that is the question! This is a Lost Sword quest level for 17 Ethereal hounds. I got a little bonus monster, though.... ack! This is the deepest in Angband I've ever been. I've never run into Ancalagon before, and I'm halfway ready to run right back up those stairs I'm standing on.... Posted on 6.3.2005 00:28 Related character dump: Cirad, L50 Wood-Elf Priest Comments?

Even if you beat the dragons you'll be too weak afterwards to handle the hounds. On 6.3.2005 03:08 Elliott946@aol.com wrote: Ditto. At this stage of the game you've probably got your resists and some immunities covered, so you're probably pretty tough. On the other hand, Ancalagon is a wrecking machine all by itself, and you're in a room with it AND a whole bunch of wyrms. There's enough firepower there to insta-kill you. Head back up the stairs and fight Ancalagon another day. Remember the words of LordDimwitt - You're not here to sightsee, you're here to do a job. Look for the stairs down at all times.

Ancalagon is dead, along with most of the rest of those dwaggies. Cirad is alive and well, though not without a number of scares on my part, gack. You can read about it in her DitL on the forum. FWIW, though, I've learned my lesson, and I'm not going to take stupid chances like that ANY MORE.... oy!!!
