Generally speaking, sitting in melee range of a hyrda is a terrible idea as most characters in lair. Even with a weapon effective versus them, their damage output is truly frightening for such early monsters. They are the perfect target for whatever offensive wands you have found so far.

I'm probably going to try to sneak a MiBe in under the buzzer when I get home tonight just to actually get an ascend this tournament.

I have my auto fight stop at 60% and even that feels low sometimes.

That's about when you should start thinking about whether to port/shaft/whatever

Looks like Trog was pleased with me returning to the ways of the MiBe.

He just gifted me Frostbite. :unsmigghh:

Actually, a sanity check before I get cocky:
CAO is great BTW

I feel like my best option is to keep sitting on Fighting for a while, maybe go gently caress up Spider with my Broad Axe + Tower Shield to start reflecting orbs? Ideally, before I hit the bottom floor of anything important, I wanna get my evoke failrate on my cloak as low as is practical. Hopefully, it should make Shoals less of a deathtrap.

Also, there's a crystal plate in an antique shop in D8 that I am still about $500 short of getting, and I'd like to pick that up if I can.

Maybe Elf 1 and 2? Wouldn't mind a flaming executioner's axe. :shrug:

Edit: Found a desolation in Elf:2, cautiously attempted it, but the Frostbite noise drew too much attention at once without any way to funnel enemies, so I jumped back out through the portal rather than risk losing over a portal I went into on a whim.

Edit2: Temporarily using a broad of prot and tower and going into Shoals with 53 AC, and 25 SH with reflection. I am the immovable object. :unsmigghh:

                                Q - +6 ring of protection

I got stupidly loving lucky this game. Got a +6 reflect amulet, the +6 prot ring before lair, and my first purples gave me RF+, clarity, and mutation resistance. (Which is really good because I only found one cMut all game.) Was able to save most of my haste charges and just rocket back up the stairs (with a quick detour in D:4 to kill Sigmund out of pure spite). That battleaxe was a trog gift, as was Frostbite, but that was benched pretty quickly in favor of a +9 flaming exe.

Got the cloak early enough that I was able to put 10 ranks into evocations and park it at a pretty respectable ~15% failure chance all game. (This also made the evocable blink from the gloves instantly 1%, which was nice.)

I got cocky and almost died so many times, but the ones that stick out the most were:
- In Abyss (because gently caress V:5 right in its ambush) when I got boxed in and brainless from malmute, so I had to wand myself and I was chugging anything I had out of desperation in order to survive long enough for it to go off.
- Depths 3, two juggernauts cornered me. That was fun, entirely my own fault.
- Zot 5, not even in the lungs, tabbed into two ancient liches without Trog's Hand up (whoops), had to blow a lot of resources I'd been saving for the run in order to survive.
- It wasn't nearly as close as the others, but when I took my detour to spitekill Sigmund, I ended up getting attacked by a pan lord (and then chugging might and haste and flattening him because yolo).

I'm very, very happy with how the game went in general. Went well, but not so well that I feel guilty about not going for more runes. (Didn't even find rCorr until Zot I think.)

I started playing around like, 0.5 or maybe 0.6. Today is the end of an era thank GOD.
Sucks it happened after the tourney but eh.

Anyway I went to single digit HP like, 15 times. I'm still a bad player, but now I'm a bad player who thinks he's good !!!

Normally for melee, especially MiBe, I train weapon to mindelay, then Fighting until I'm comfortable with my HP, then Dodging and/or Armor.

Or I get greedy and only train my weapon to 1.0 delay, and jump into defenses early (though that's mostly with Formicids so I can get Shields to 9).

I honestly kind of hate the old 'humans are average' cliche, but in Crawl, they fill the mechanical role of being a conceptual baseline. 0 in a vacuum is a little weird. It's easier once you actually have a starting point you understand ("okay, so elves are way better at magic than humans, but way worse at not getting swirlied"), rather than the 0 just being some arbitrary rate. (It is, in effect, still just an arbitrary rate, but people are not rational actors.)

Edit The data stuff made me wanna try DS again. Sanguine armor doesn't seem to have an entry, but it's really drat good. Where is it in the code?

Same question, but a +7 Longsword {Slice, Int+7}

Also, what shops does a Spriggan want from Gozag, or should I wait until I've cleared Orc to spend my cash?

Longsword is a lot worse than a Demon Sword. You could probably keep using it longsword just through the SB->LB cross-training, but that's not nearly enough to switch by itself.

I'm liking this character a lot so far, and Vehumet has been doing me very right, but I don't know where to go after Spider and Swamp. Vaults? I'm still terrified of Vaults 5, but without Corrosion resistance, Slime would be a death sentence. Abyss maybe?

Also, spell/skill advice? I'm trying to keep a spread of elements of about L4 stuff, (though Fireball, BoD, and OoD have been my workhorse trio for a while now). I've never played a primary caster before, so I'm kind of in the dark here.

Edit The un-ID'd amulet's guardian spirit, abandoned somewhere in Spider.
