Fortunately, we are in the perfect terrain for dealing with this, because Phase Door will practically always take us out of line-of-sight of all enemies: Khamul, the Black Easterling summons fiends of darkness.Ī Master Vampire is no trouble, but Archliches are nasty pieces of work, mostly because they can move through walls. Hasting up, we retreat to build an anti-summoning corridor, but we're just a bit too slow. He has strong melee and a good set of nasty spells, but he's only at +10 speed, which makes him relatively slow. This is Khamul, the Black Easterling, and he's the penultimate Ringwraith, just under the Witch-King of Angmar. Over on the other side of the dungeon, we run into another Ringwraith! Whoops, I thought we still had resistance to nether That cost us 240k experience and we're temporarily back down to level 43. You feel your life force draining away! The Nether hound breathes nether. We're going to want a nice stockpile of Scrolls of *Destruction* for the endgame, if possible.Įxploring a bit, I find this pack of Nether Hounds: It also blinds you (hence the searing blast of light), but we have protection, and even if we didn't, a potion or two would clear that right up. If you are in truly dire straits, *Destruction* will give you a significant breather. It also removes all monsters and items from the area. *Destruction* randomizes the dungeon in a fairly large radius around you. There is a searing blast of light! You have 2 charges remaining. I still haven't shown off what *Destruction* does, but now we have a rechargeable source of it (or, more realistically, a disposable source odds are that recharging will fail on this even if it's at 0 charges). You have a Mulberry Staff of *Destruction*. In their pit is a few junk items and that Mulberry Staff: 94110 AU later, they're all dead, at the cost of 2 Staves of Identify and miscellaneous scrolls and arrows. Of course, we have to chew through the hydras first. I use our Potion of Enlightenment, and while it doesn't show us any vaults, it does give us some areas of interest to check out: Unfortunately, the door is placed on the wrong wall:īut fortunately they don't breathe on us or cast any spells before we're safely around the corner.įrom here we can do our usual detection. That action should be to hide around a corner so we avoid LOS with most of them. Pit monsters always spawn awake, so they'll be after us as soon as we take an action. (to 3600')Īw, man, another hydra pit? These things are everywhere! This is fine, since you also can't overeat any more - used to be eating too much would put you into a "Gorged" state which reduced your speed by 10. I don't think I've ever seen a character with slow digestion leave the "Full" state. Freude is getting Slow Digestion from his bow (that's the "S.Dig" entry), and as of recent versions, when Angband says "slow digestion" it means it. This isn't just because food has been plentiful (though it has been). Incidentally, I haven't mentioned being hungry in a long time. Lose our Staves of Detect Evil, since telepathy pretty well has that angle covered.Buy up 40 Potions of Cure Light Wounds because what else are we going to do with our money? We're already fully-stocked on Phase Door et al and the Temple has nothing stronger.*Enchant Weapon* will attempt to apply a few random +to-hit or +to-dam bonuses to your weapon, but it must have focused on +to-dam this time around (remember, gear absolutely cannot be manually enchanted above +15). Try our luck with a purchased Scroll of *Enchant Weapon* on Thunderfist, which is currently (+4,+16).The chance of recharging failing increases with the number of charges in the item, and for high-level items like Staves of Speed even an empty staff has good odds of going kablooie, so this was moderately lucky. Reading one takes our stack of 2 Staves of Speed from 1 charge (which is sort of nebulously shared between them) to 4 charges, and fortunately does not blow them up. Unstash Holhenneth, an old Ring of Constitution, and our old flail Totila, to make room in the home for Evenstar, the Amulet of Trickery, and the Cap of Telepathy.You have 10 Scrolls titled "co abitat" of Word of Recall. We need to head back to town to drop loot off and recharge our Staves of Speed. He also finally found a source of telepathy, and a new weapon. Last time, Freude killed the Father of All Dragons.
