Fire wyrm summons fire wyrm!

Remind me again how I'm supposed to get through this? :-/

[darkgod]

Yeah I changed the summons

Petition Mandos of course!

I did that, via the mechanism of save-scumming.
(I don't feel guilty in this situation)

Then later, I found a ring of invisibility, and just walked past everything...

I know DG already said he has changed this ... but I feel the need to share this screenshot from the Gorbat pride:


I made it to the bottom of the pride without cheating, and I have Gorbat's loot, but I think I'm gonna look up the magic word to get me back to the surface..

[Shoob]

one way out of that one is to quaff a potion of invis and run like crazy back down a level... wait there for 800 turns or so and come back.

[Repton]

That was the bottom level

Also, I had a mithril ring of invisibility (power 12) and they seemed to spot me, when I tried it on an earlier level (I unequipped ringil, frost treads, light source).

[madmonk]

That is definitely a yummy situation!

[PowerWyrm]

Got the same situation in beta11 in Gorbat's pride. The game froze then crashed upon saving. Now when I try to load that game again I get a "nil value" error in stderr.txt and a black screen instead of the dungeon level.

At least you have a good chance to be killed via a variety of effects rather than just cold or fire

[Elliott]

Hah, that's great!

Ok, this is cheating because it refers to another 'band, but it reminds me of perhaps my all-time favorite screenshot. It was of a character I had who was going after the Mad Alchemist in Entroband (an optional, extremely hard boss, somewhat like Melkor in ToME 2) after killing the Serpent (the normal final boss). After giving the Alchemist a solid try and getting him down to maybe 4 stars, my character was virtually surrounded by multi-hued wyrms, great wyrms of power and some nasty unique monsters, at less than 100 hp, and was almost totally out of healing. The screenshot was titled "I SURRENDER!", as immediately after taking the screen shot, I had the character retire, logging him as alive and a "Winner" as he had one round left before he was a smoking pile of ash.

More fun in the Gorbat pride: before, and after (much, MUCH later).

Gold found: almost 500.

Didn't move from that spot. Hooray for overpowered archers

(how do I find out how many monsters I've killed?)

Character screen, dump file and go to dump location (close to tome save location).
