This is a multi-hued dragon a young one, in this case. Individually they're a bit weaker than Lokkak, but between the three of them they have a hell of a lot more health. It's just as well Freude isn't strong enough to tackle the brothers yet. You sense the presence of evil creatures! You have 21 charges remaining.įor a moment I thought we'd found Bert, Bill, and Tom, the three Stone Trolls, but alas, it's just a random group of three Stone Trolls, some Cave Trolls, and the Algroth we already killed. Behind the Ghouls are some Cave Trolls, which makes me suspicious so I break out the Staff of Detect Evil. Algroths are mostly notable for having a poisonous claw attack, and for being ripped from David Eddings instead of Tolkein or D&D. This is an Algroth, backed by some Ghouls. Maybe it can help us break into the vault?Ĩ00 turns? I don't think Freude's stomach would hold out that long In this room we find a Lucerne Hammer, which weighs 12 pounds. However, we now have considerably more flexibility in what armor we wear. Excellent, if wholly redundant as long as we're wearing Hithlomir. In a corridor, we find a Wicker Shield which pseudos as excellent about a hundred turns later, it fully-IDs as a Shield of Resistance, which grants resistance to the basic four elements. Considering that the player's max level is 50, while monsters range all the way up to 100, you can see the problem with this spell. Problem is, it only affects monsters whose level is less than your own. This gives you a temporary anti-evil repulsive field, which has a chance of preventing evil monsters from hitting you in melee. Another one drops a scroll of Protection from Evil. These will fire a ray that disarms all traps along a line occasionally helpful, since some vaults are chock-full of traps. One of them drops a Chromium wand, of Disarming. Most of the really nasty W enemies are wraiths (like that Nether Wraith last update). Otherwise they're every bit as fragile and generally harmless as the other wights. You feel your life draining away!īarrow wights show up in groups.
This does the same thing as those Shrieking Mushroom Patches did back in the day, so they're total junk. Unfortunately, our current weapon and STR score aren't really up to tunneling through granite (not without our old Ring of Digging, anyway), so if we want to get in, we'll have to explore a bit and hope for some help - a digging tool like a shovel or pick, or a Wand of Stone to Mud, or a Ring of Digging, or in a pinch just a heavier weapon.Įxploring the room to our north nets us a new scroll: Aggravate Monster.
You'll notice that there's no easy access we have to dig our way in. Okay, fine, I guess we can explore another vault. Ghosts can do all that, and they pass through walls, but like most G enemies they're quite fragile. Let's just head to the exit and leave these guys alone.Ī ghost! And we saw it without having to lose experience or get our INT or WIS drained! Huzzah for See Invisible. That's where we're headed.įire Hounds, a Fire Giant, and a Baby Gold Dragon (who breathes sound, remember). Anyway, stat potions are more spread out now we've already found three. That's boring, so we aren't going to do it. As a result, the conventional wisdom was that once you could handle, oh, about 1000', you dove straight to 1600' and stayed there until you'd hit the stat cap for the stats you cared about. (to 1600')īack in the old days, gain-stat potions were "native" to 1600' - that is, this is where they stopped having to pass special out-of-depth checks in order to be generated. That in mind, I picked up a stack of Scrolls of Detect Doors/Stairs they ought to help us dive faster. But we got a bunch of new toys, which makes it even more imperative that we start getting down to the depths where the normal monsters are challenging. Last time, Freude found a vault in the dungeon that he wasn't quite strong enough to crack.
