The hobgoblin was brutally eviscerated before it could teleport. I can teleport myself, of course, or I can (after a few turns) make something go away. This wand teleports anything I zap it at, much like the scroll does for me. Point blank fireballs are a stupid way to die. Testing this wand! Generally, make sure you have some distance between you and the target when using a wand. The XP system is kinda self-correcting, though, and higher levels are slow going anyway, so I won't stay this way for long.įloor 4. It's nice being overlevelled, especially with a race that has an XP penalty. To recap, I have a ring, identified a few scrolls, picked up a whole lot of potions, killed a ghost and hit level 5. Point it at a wall to find out.Īnd that's it for floor 3 and this update. If nothing happens, it's either empty or, most likely, a wand of digging. Try a few more times, or wait for an identify scroll if you want to save charges. If it resists, it's a single target effect. Here's a guide to (somewhat inefficiently) identifying wands. In any case, while ghosts leave no loot, I'm level 5 now.Ī wand! Wands contain some sort of magic, with a limited amount of charges. Being a troll makes the regen part easier. Thank the wall below me - running around one of those and only attacking when you regenerated enough health is another common tactic, albeit only usable when fighting a lone monster at the same speed as you. This one was a minotaur fighter, and level 6. Ghosts are dead characters, with their old gear, but not inventory. Stone Soup's version of Houston probably wants to kill me anyway. The other is probably enchant weapon, detect curse, or fear. On the other hand, there's a scroll that did nothing earlier and may help now. It could be worse, but still, it's annoying. Cursed items can't be removed until the curse is gone. Mostly the punching, really.Īnyway! I found this scroll. Weeping bitterly at the loss of my headgear. Though to be fair, it's the armour/XP restrictions that balance them in practice.Ĭan anyone tell me why trolls are denied helmets as well? It just makes no sense at all. It's a good thing trolls have food issues, really.
DUNGEON CRAWL STONE SOUP STRENGTH FULL
Too full to eat, with a rat chunk to spare, and I never yet touched my rations.
To this day, I'm still rather disturbed by quokka zombies, though they're weak and fairly common. To a troll at this level, they're merely adorable and delicious. Quokkas are basically rat palette-swaps, who are very, very slightly superior. Introducing, amidst the corpses of my enemies, the quokka. By the way, worms are edible, unlike many insects, who are typically poisonous. Of course, anyone large, green and hideous has no problem eviscerating them at level 3. Casters should be very careful or flee in terror until level 5 or so, depending on the particular type of caster. This makes them rather harsh, and they should be treated carefully by melee characters up to level 3 or 4. Worms are slow, but hit hard for the level they show up at (as early as floor 1) and have tons of HP - again, for this point in the game. It's not a cutlass, by the way, and trolls are hardly stealthy, so hold off on the pirate-ninja jokes. It's things like this that make me wish I didn't punch/claw things for a living. The claws see to that.Īh, a magical sabre. Incidentally, the pair of gloves you see below are not available to us. None of them were a threat, and with this character, they probably never were.Ĭorridors - a Crawl player's best friend, unless you have an army of your own. What you see here used to be a goblin, two hobgoblins and a rat. Sometimes, it instead summons a bunch of butterflies that stay around for a bit, then vanish in a puff of smoke.įloor 3. It's a scroll of random uselessness - often, it just produces weird messages. You're probably wondering about the butterflies. Another is blank - useless in Stone Soup, unlike some Roguelikes. Two scrolls remain a mystery, and one gave me the Tele status, teleporting me randomly in a couple turns. Time to read those scrolls in the vain hope that one of them will identify this ring. It gets old fast.Įnd of the floor, with a few more potions and so forth. The problem begins when they have a blowgun and ludicrous quantities of poisoned or, worse yet, curare needles. They may have slings or darts, and I'm fine with that. Oh, and this update? I finished all but the last screenshot before my computer acted up and wiped it. The highlight of this is my finding a ring. What this means is that you're missing out on five dull screenshots of me doing things. I'm also an idiot, so I deleted all my screenshots before realizing this. The first five screenshots have been lost to the bulk upload function on Photobucket or, as I prefer to think of it, the infinite depths of madness.
