A big 'gently caress you' to whoever left a bones file full of nalfenshees wandering around on dlvl12. There was at least two ghosts when I got there and there's one more now. If anyone comes across it, just dig down unless you have disintegration resistance. Which I didn't.

Not that I saw, though it might have been something else that got me. I was standing on Elbereth so I was expecting it to come into melee range like the others, but it just blasted me.

Was one of the ghosts J5A? It might be the same one I was bitching about last page.

Do not stand on a drawbridge if a nearby giant has a wand of striking. This has been your Nethack Tip.

Killer: ascended
You were level 22 with a maximum of 157 hit points when you ascended.
Highlights include being burdened pretty much from sokoban to the castle, throwing Mjolinir into a crowd of priests and not getting it back, and Death dropping dead for no apparent reason. Also note the lack of genocided ; , What A Hoot!

Shoutouts to my main man frameset for providing moral support, shoulder rubs, and advice, without which I would probably be a hilarious bones file somewhere in Gehennom.

You can dig down from the room where you start and come down into the Castle level, then come back up the stairs into Medusa's chamber. Just be sure you have reflection when you do.

Its worth remembering that you may sometimes have to search multiple times to find a hidden passage, which is a dumb game mechanic in my opinion. Typing 'n20s' will search for 20 turns, stopping if any enemy approaches.

McGrady posted:

I was forced to using that hammer merely because I ran across a bones file with such awesome artifacts as trollsbane, orcsbane, sting?, and a bunch of other useless artifacts after dipping for Excalibur, so I couldn't reliably wish for a good one and I didn't like the idea of spending 10,000 rounds sacrificing for Greyswandr.

Excalibur is a pretty decent weapon, no? Its what i ascended my Valk with.
