Crawl's nightmare scenario almost happened. On the orb run I got paralysed and instakilled from almost full HP by a panlord's chaos melee, but got resurrected by god on the very last turn of paralysis. I wasn't using Ely's lifesaving invocation either, so that's sheer luck.

silentsnack posted:I vaguely remember making a post about this in one of the old threads, so you can blame me for getting it 'fixed'. Recalling the words "mushroom genie" indicates it was whenever those were trunk. It allowed effectively infinite experience for low risk, but that might give mummies an advantage so it had to get ruined. I'm not sure how you would actually abuse it, since spores don't retreat when ordered to so it's hard to get the spore separated from you. Maybe if you just tanked the explosion and regenerated it away every time but then have fun with your eventual OOD spawns.

Brannock posted:I can't figure out what criteria makes it so that certain monsters will willingly walk through damaging clouds (hill giants) and others won't. It's not Intelligence, hill giants have Normal intelligence. Is it Size? Their current HP I believe. There is variance to monster HP, so sometimes full HP yaks will walk into clouds and sometimes they will not. If a monster is already in a cloud they will not mind walking through more. I think you could even do something like throw a mephitic cloud at an rPois monster to convince it to walk into a conjured flame cloud. Of course, mindless monsters like zombies won't care and will walk into clouds regardless of their HP.

Can somebody please tell me how streakers avoid the dreaded "failed to kill a single monster when starting from full HP" trap? I see this happen all the loving time and it is so aggravating. I'm not even talking about foolhardy nontactics like charging blindly at an ogre or a gnoll pack, but poo poo like dying in 1v1 combat with a hobgoblin or an adder. No successful hits, no escape options, just death. I see other people streak terrible combos like Nemelex's Choices often, so there has to be some secret that I am just blind to. And it had better not be just "pillar dancing" because you can't pillardance fast monsters like adders forever, and because pillar dancing is literally the worst and most tedious thing in the entire game.

Deep Dwarves with vampiric axes are ludicrous. I found the +8 war axe of Truth {vamp, +Blink rF++} on D:4 and proceeded to mash o and tab as fast as I could for the rest of the game. Ever see someone using a war axe in Zot? Using almost no tactics I got the Speed Demon 3 banner with a 2 and a half hour win while almost never being in danger. Look at those huge stacks of consumables! Anything that looked slightly threatening could be berserked to death, and anything that survived could be buried in consumable spam. It makes a sharp contrast to the Centaur Warper I played a few days prior. Centaurs are overpowered in a tedious way, but Deep Dwarves are overpowered in a hilarious way.

That sprite is normally used for the remnants of monsters who have been removed, seen in converted saves. In this case it looks like it was displayed by monster detection divination, which I think only Xom can do. This effect is based on the monster's console glyph, so Xom probably detected a freezing wraith for you. (freezing wraiths have not been removed, to be clear)

Thug Lessons posted:It's still the same drat thing, probably the biggest difference is that it's a lot easier since you can teleport out of it. Oh and it's locked with a rune door so the dancing weapons don't get out. I think the HoB vault is too easy, other than the possibility of seeing a deep elf blademaster. Part of this IMO comes from the fact that as a vault the map is just too big. It covers half of the map, dwarfs Elf:3 vaults in size, and causes all the weapons and elves in the vault to be too spread out. You could argue that the size makes random teleportation more risky on Elf:2, but I'd rather just see the vault shrunk in size.

Pvt.Scott posted:Yeah, I guess my real gripe is with the flavor text. Just a quick, "you quickly butcher and then brown a portion of the hobgoblin flesh," keeping the fact that it tastes terrible and is less nourishing for non-saprovores. Then again, I already consider that adventures are unstable, homicidal maniacs best kept away from society. Also, my fantasy worlds have muskets and pistols when I GM games. Getting gutshot by a highwayman is good times. Actually, I know it's not likely to change, but this makes me realize you probably could just replace the but(c)her command with a (c)ook command. It's the same amount of abstraction to the process, other than the possibility of producing chunks from disintegration or orb of destruction. (Inner flame can get away with it.)

Thug Lessons posted:Originally the Pan rune levels were gods, for example Cerebov was Okawaru. I forget the rest right now though. This was true for old, ancient, pre-stone soup crawl. They were gods when Pan was first introduced in Linley's Dungeon Crawl in 1.x or 2.x or whatever, and changed to their modern demon names in the next major version. (for the record, Cerebov was Okawaru, Gloorx Vloq was Kikubaaqudgha, Mnoleg was Nemelex Xobeh, and Lom Lobon was Sif Muna.)

Hempuli posted:I thought clearing only one lung was the sane choice, considering that there might be more ancient liches and OoFs around? Generally, it is. Zot:5 is among the most dangerous floors in the entire game, and there's little reason to make yourself fight twice as many monsters as you have to. That said in this case you've probably already drawn out most or all of them due to Qazlal's noise.

Smash Daisaku posted:Why can player nagas get poisoned? I know that player poison resistance works like that but it seems like player nagas should get a special exception since monster nagas are poison immune. It might help them a little bit early game since early constriction was removed and nagas aren't able to run away from anything. Monster naga aren't poison immune, just rPois. Nothing of natural holiness has poison immunity. You just can't cause poison status on rPois monsters unless you are casting Poison Arrow.

Nope, it's gone forever if killed or if you skip the floor. The only way a ghost can come back is if you die on the same floor as it (not necessarily to it).

rip on Zig+3:16, from a Crypt floor. Zig+2 didn't seem that bad, but Zig+3 started getting pretty rough. Crypt floors in particular are nasty due to silent spectres. For some reason flayed ghosts, curse skulls, and eidolons are immune to silence and will wreck you. If (when) I try it again in the future, the main things I would do different are to get a good broad axe sooner and to bring along the Sceptre of Asmodeus for !sil summoning. Friendly hellfire would probably have done a lot towards survival. I did have the Staff of Dispater with its crazygood 3d45 hellfire, but the HP cost started getting to me. Oh well, better luck next time! I got close to halfway to maxing all skills. http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/magicpoints/morgue-magicpoints-20141008-015736.txt pre:1879999 magicpoints the Omniscient (level 27, -10/298 HPs)

Internet Kraken posted:Someone tell me the story behind this trunk changelog line. There is an arrival vault that places a boring beetle and a lot of rock walls in a stone prison, for the purpose of making a lot of grinding noises and annoying the player. It was possible for a teleport trap to spawn in this vault and let the boring beetle escape. Last year there was a very similar bug where an arrival vault could spawn a pan lord on D:1.

I think Inner Flame would be a lot easier to use if it auto-passed the MR check like scrolls of immolation do. As mentioned before, it already has the matters of actually killing the hexed enemy and positioning. Enslave bombing enemies would be a little easier, but that's already the easiest way to use it.

In hell I was so paranoid about death by damage spike that I cast Borg anytime my HP dropped under 50. This went especially horribly on Dis:7. Reapers are amazingly painful with slow movement 3. I think the orbrun Borgs were done under the same logic, but at that point 50 HP was too high to show up in the lowHP logging.
