You should have at least a dozen potions of resistance by now and you probably won't need more than 3-4 of them. Phantom mirror + immolation is the classy way to take out TRJ at this point anyway.

edit: WOW that was a bad teleport trap....



No blink and no fear either. gently caress.

Fear really wouldn't help given how high the MR on hydras is. Without a blink scroll that is going to kill the vast majority of characters. Unfortunate.

After that post I found a consumable in my inventory that allowed for a possibility of survival. See if you can guess what it was....

Still in trouble - no heals, no fear, no blinks, had to buy a used teleport wand and recharge it to have tport - but I got that drat rune!

Whoa, nice.

Did you just burn another teleport scroll and hope for the best? I'm trying to think of what might have helped but it's too early and my brain is mush.

I wish but Ugly John was right I had one potion of invis. Should still be dead but got a really fast teleport off after that.

Did you know you are at -5 to hit when invis if you can't see invis yourself because you can't see your weapon?

When you go to the server you play on there should be an "edit rc" link to the right of the link to play each release. Just click that to pop up an editor.

Yes! But only because it's such a dumb technicality that it stuck around in my head after I read it. Also monsters don't have that penalty, presumably because I can't think of anything besides ghost moths that are always invisible but cannot see invisible. But on the other hand there are the various spellcasters that can CAST invisible (Sigmund, for one!) and some of them are ubiquitous (Ogre magi!).

Anyway, dumb flavour, won't get removed because..

Everytime I've been in a position like Araganzar and decided to go invisible because it would totally save my rear end, monsters always knew where I was and always hit me no problem and it was utterly pointless. Especially later one when the vast majority can see invis.

Good on you for getting away with it!

If they ever take away the stealth penalty for felids that cast Blade Hands I'll know that Crawl is truly dead.

e: 50% chance whenever a felid casts Passwall for them to immediately cast it again to return back to the original position

I saw below it was invis, but I wonder if lignification would also do it because AC is so sick against Hydras

Lig gives 20+XL/2 AC, so I would have gained a few AC and completely tanked my EV. It also gives you -tele so I couldn't have ported out.

Lignification is basically the gnoll race in potion form. Totally awesome until Lair then dead weight by the end of Orc. I just quaffed one and I went from 25/30 to 33/2. poo poo, why am I carrying these?

Lig gives decent innate armour and +50% hp but melds all of your gear, so it's a fantastic tool early on as a combination berserk/resistance potion effect but quickly becomes a giant liability. Useful until lair is entirely right, after that it's just a death trap waiting to happen.

Was still using my starter trident after Lair and Orc, bought a randart great mace in desperation. Turned out to be +11 great mace of the Eternal Void {freeze, +Blink rElec rF++ Dex+2}. Abandoned shields and polearms and never looked back.

Got Statue Form, determined it's really not that great on Dr if you don't need the resists. Draconian midgame is pretty rough until you can get either shields or dodging online enough to mitigate damage.

Lignification are useful in early game where the AC, health, and rPois are a godsend. They suck from that point on till extended where the rTorment makes them worth considering again.

The tournament doesn't start until 4pm EST tomorrow. You'll need to finish that game if it's in the "DCSS 0.20" branch.

After the tourney starts, you can join or change teams freely for a week. Your points earned move with you.

Well, gently caress.

I'll probably do it again for the tournament because Vine Stalkers are overpowered as dicks if you can get them past the early game.

I'll join up, if you don't mind. I should hopefully be good for one win this go-round, and a bunch of aborted attempts at a 15.

Tournament crawl is still best crawl (and I'm pretty sure where my only wins have come from)

I think I'm already logged in there at home, so good.

If anything, I find ##crawl too quiet nowadays - I used to like when they announced every unique killed, every rune found, etc. Nowadays it just seems to have, well, lost its flavour.
