I just managed my first win with a HOfi of Makhleb. I forgot to get a morgue dump so I'll just let you know: he was awesome.

I don't know if this is new or what, but I just opened a door to a room which then disappeared revealing an altar of Xom and five sheep which then caught fire.

Man I cannot manage a GrEE. I mean I just died to killer bees, as a gargoyle. How?!

 I'm pretty sure the advice here would be to go up again and come down another stairs, but there's an orc standing on it. At least there's a cool artifact armour...oh wait

I would appreciate some tips for this character: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Aston/Aston.txt This is the first Gargoyle Wizard of Ashenzari I've got past Lair 1 with, and I'm not really sure what to do with him. I think my end goal is going to be a hybrid, and I'd like to look into at least some of extended endgame but I haven't done it before. I've cleared Dungeon, Lair, Spider, Swamp, Orc apart from one room with St Roka, and Vaults down to 4 where Mara is, and normally I'd go for Depths or Elf 1-2 here. As you can probably tell my skill training is all over the place. Please help!

Before I read this I picked up a great mace, enchanted it to +9, and cursed it. Except it was holy wrath. I was thinking this would be good for all the places with demons and undead coming up but would it be better to just re-brand it and curse it? I can also buy the Hat of Ponderousness, is this a good item? I'm so confused!

I'm on the precipice of delving into extended for the first time, and I'm wondering what the best order to do things in is. This is what I look like at the moment, with the plan to clear zot then do one of Hell/Pan/Tomb. Are there any particular strategies for any of these? Also, am I missing any key spells? The only one I'm really looking at at the moment is Deflect Missiles.

pathetic little tramp posted:Always try to enter. Every portal has an exit pretty much right next to the entrance. If you enter an ice cave and see 3 ice fiends and an army of ice devils you can 99% of the time pull a grampa going into the burlesque house Not labyrinths though

I understand that one of the best god routes for post game is Zin -> The Shining One. I'm currently playing a MiMo of Okawaru with the intent of taking him to 15 runes, so I have a couple of questions:- 1. How bad is Okawaru wrath? 2. When should I convert to Zin? 3. When should I convert to TSO? As far as I can tell, TSO is good for Tomb and Zin is good for Hell and Pan, but then I don't see why you should bother going to TSO at all for just that branch due to the piety loss. Am I missing something? Also I got my second win a couple days ago with the GrWz I was asking for help with, so thanks to everyone that gave me tips! Morgue I guess I play pretty slow, comparing my time to the other ones on the server.

kaschei posted:Yeah I put eat_chunk in when eating was done by the script instead of a_e_c, so I just commented it out, and I added felids to the list of people that are hungry when they're not Engorged rather than when they're not satiated. Thanks. I gave it a go but when I hit autoexplore I got stuck in an eating loop.

so I copied what you had posted into my rc file, except for the first two lines which were already in there. Then rebound o to 'explore_epb' (or at least I think I did, I pressed ~ k o and put explore_epb in the box) This is what I get:  It seems to ask if I want to eat everything in my inventory. The first time I did it was with a brand new character, and I got the message "you can't eat that!" a whole lot and had to click through 3 times or so to clear it all. This is my current character if that helps. E: I guess whilst it's up there: is rod of inaccuracy good (both in general and for this character)? There's a +2 one available in a shop somewhere. Also can they be enchanted up like weapons? Aston fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 27, 2014 |

So I'm trying to do Slime 6 by Scroll of Vulnerability and wand of polymorph. I've given it a go at Evocations 19.5ish, with no luck - what kind of level should evocations be to manage this, or should I have just kept zapping the polymorph wand?

So I got Lom Lobon's rune for the first time, but I didn't kill him whilst doing it, and now he's starting showing up on other levels of Pandemonium. Is he going to keep chasing me until I do kill him? Can he appear on the levels of the unique lords? Why is he such a sore loser?

That is pretty much exactly what I was going to go until I had this unwelcome news that they can't content themselves with an insurance claim or whatever. Do they only chase you in pan or can they get you in other branches too?

Arrhythmia posted:Just pan and the orb run. Hell lords will not chase you, while we're at it. With the pan lords definitely show up on every level of pan after you get their rune, and if not is there a maximum amount of time after which you can be sure they won't be joining you? I'm tiptoeing around Gloorx's (I think) level too scared to go fight him in case Lom also shows up but not wanting to leave without the rune either.

Eh in the end he never showed up again. First 15 rune character complete! Incidentally is there a better way to view your morgue on completion than just dumping the character on the D:1 exit?

vOv posted:My biggest problem when I was starting out (and even still) is that I'd rush through things and die with five potions of heal wounds that I'd completely forgotten about. Whenever you're in a tight spot, go through all your consumables and see if any of them might help. As an addendum to this, when you think you might be in trouble slow down as much as you can before doing anything. I think there's an instinct to speed up when you're running away from something, but you have to fight this and take it a step at a time.

Stoat posted:FR: Chei's sister who loves everything fast, rewards you piling through areas without stopping to kill anything, punishes resting. This actually sounds great. I'm picturing you getting faster and faster movement speed with piety but you lose stats as you do so, and gain piety for exploring but it decays very slowly. Top level invocable ability would be a combination of haste and tornado. Top title would be <race> Blur.
