Stuck in Mouse Dream

#1 Post by Orangeflame »

As a necromancer, if you go into the Mouse Dream, you bring all your minions with you.
I did not know this, and managed to trap myself between minions (which I can attack for 0 damage) and walls.
I also punch myself for 0 damage, so punching myself to death is not an option.
...and I stupidly saved & exited instead of killing the game in task manager.

Is there a way to kill my character without invalidating my game (so I can still put goodies into the item vault)?

Are the minions no longer considered yours or something? I'm curious as to why you can't just switch places with them.

It'd be nice if you could lure the cats to your minions and get them massacred horribly for trying to kill you; I heard that alchemists can accomplish this with their golem >:D

Yeah, I can't swap places with them or use Nimble Movements to go past them.

The only actions I can take are:
Evasion (useless)
Stealth (useless)
Hide in Plain Sight (useless)
(sortof) Nimble Movements (can't move through minions or walls, so I can't even use it)
and
Attack (deals 0 damage, even to myself, and retaliation damage from my minions is 0)

as mouse dont have necrotic aura - minions should die eventually, imo.
Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

Those minions are not going back to the grave anytime soon.
I've tried holding down '5' aka rest. The two cats that showed up in the first ~10 turns were instakilled, and my minions haven't moved or decayed at all since.

You are quite right, it is strange that they aren't decaying.

Every time I go in as a Summoner, I take my summons with me. But they die off when their timer runs out...
And it was such a good idea...
