gridloreHad a perfectly good Valkyrie going yesterday. A little luck and some hunting gave me speed boots, gauntlets of power, and a cloak of protection before I even hit the Gnonish Mines. Then things went sour.
After all this, I was heading back up stairs to do the Quest when I was jumped by a mind flayer. Despite having the +5 Mojo, the damn thing still ate my brain. OK, see what I've forgotten.. how to write identify scrolls.
I gave up. I crawled back up to level 6, took off everything, stuffed it my bag of holding, dropped that, then used my bag of tricks to summon some monsters. The idea was to leave a Christmas present bones file, but sure enough, no bones.
Frustrating game. Going to play some more now.
- Evidently, it was Rust Monster Con.
- With a special appearance by fire-breathing monsters
- Which meant that all my armor was either rusted or burnt.
- There was exactly one altar in the entire dungeon. That was the Minetown Temple. At least that was co-aligned.
- There were no general stores or used bookshops. So I had to identify scrolls the hard way.
- The Wand of Wishing had one charge. Used that to get 2 scrolls of charging, then had to burn a wish to get scrolls of enchant armor!
