Crawl Relay Run - Over
Acidus:
New forum, new topic for the game.
Copypasta from last thread:
1. Get a clean version of Crawl 0.4.5. There have been several changes made from v0.4.3 and v0.4.4 so some of the information may not translate well between the versions. More so, you'll want the 32x32 tile graphical version that comes with mouse support unless you're hardcore from the command prompt days.
3. To play, you'll have to sign up in this topic. You'll be put at the end of the list.
4. When your turn comes, you'll be handed the save file via rapidshare, mediafire, mega upload, or some other site. You'll stick that in the saves file and start up the game. You'll then have roughly 5000 turns to play. To check how many turns you've used, just hit Shift and E. As you play your turn, you are to keep track of a journal of important events that happen. You can take screenshots or keep a very accurate pictureless journal as you play. Screenshots are better.
5. Keep image amounts to a minimum. 56kers still exist. Screw 56kers, I want full documentation! Anyone who fails to keep up screenshots in his or her run will be ignored and we'll revert to the last save file.
6. Once your 5000 turns are up (we allow some slight deviation, you can stop at say 5045 or something), save, copy to the files to a zip folder and upload it to a file sharing site.
7. If you take way too many turns (6000+), we'll politely tell you that you fail, but take the save files anyway. If you reach 7000, you're off the list for the rest of the game.
8. If you take more than 3 days (72 hours) taking your turn, we'll skip you and give the save file to the next person in line.
9. You may sign up again when your turn is over.
10. Losing is fun. If you die, just log that and we'll tack it onto the number of times we've lost and continue from the last save file. Don't worry, the game is meant to be hard. If you're inexperienced, take this chance to play a high level character and learn more about the game.
11. However, it's not fun if you save the file and give it to the next person with 3HP and surrounded by tough enemies. We'll consider that your death and revert back to the previous save file.
12. New rule, if you have bone files in your saves, copy those bone files and stick them in with the save file you'll be uploading. We want many, many ghosts to deal with this time around.
13. SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME RULE ADDED BY ANATHE: AT THE END OF YOUR POST, STATE WHETHER YOU'RE UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND
OR NOT. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS RULE, IT MAKES KEEPING THE LIST EASIER.
14. Feel free to suggest adding in anything I missed on this list of rules.
Waiting List
None, unless anyone wants to start another run, which I don't think will be very soon.
Sylon:
T'was the maiden was back in the mines
Her stomach slightly empty
Of a great battle there were signs
To leave was mighty tempty.
She fled the mines, fearful of lords
Who would cleave stone and metal alike
Taking pride in their axes and swords
And their occasional pike.
T'was not to be, how though
For a party of orcs laid in wait
Warriors and priests who worshipped Beogh
With a weakling for the bait.
She stepped forward, spell ready
With a word, a cloud arose
The fumes left the orcs unsteady
So it would not come to blows.
During the battle a centaur rode
To cleave our unlikely hero.
But little know it would soon explode
Right before her mana went to zero.
She slew them all and strived on
Triggering a trap on the floor.
But she pressed on, and came upon
A very much mundane door.
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9425/crawl4.png
It swung open, and orcs leapt out
A space apart from the girl
But with a blast of greenish magic
Their vision was left in a swirl.
She struck them down, and left them be
To continue on her quest
A bloodstained armor did she see
To equip it would be best.
She donned the armor and went on her way
Grabbing a wand in a corridor
She strode along fearlessly, but say,
Who opened that door?
T'was a ghost that did the deed
With an axe and arcane magic
With a spell, it made her bleed
It was soon going to be tragic.
She fled, and set snares for it
Hurling bolts of flame
But it only did a little bit-
The ghost yet looked the same.
She blinked and vanished, in a snap
But the ghost's blows came like rain
A blink, and she fell into her own trap
And thus she was slain.
Patchouli is dead. I recommend grabbing the leather armor and leaving that floor as soon as possible. (If I'm not mistaken, the penalty to magic is the equal to the penalty to EV. Leather armor doesn't give that much of a penalty.)
Sign me up for the next free turn.
Totaku:
I think you forgot Wrathie and me, since we all asked before Sylon's asked to play another go
WRATHIE_Beatrice:
count me out. sch.
The Astral Pancake:
[18:32] <The_Astral_Pancake> Well let's start
[18:33] <The_Astral_Pancake> This is The Astral Pancake
[18:33] <The_Astral_Pancake> Joining me are...
[18:33] <Ramus> Ramus and...
[18:34] <The_Astral_Pancake> Wake up Xan before I strangle him through standard TCP/IP connections
[18:34] <Xan> Sorry.
[18:34] <Xan> Here's Xan
[18:34] <The_Astral_Pancake> When we last left off, some asshole left a shit load of ghosts running around the dungeon
[18:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> Isn't that right Totaku?
[18:35] <Xan> Silly Totaku and his ghosts.
[18:35] <Ramus> Eh...
[18:35] <Ramus> Yeah.
[18:35] <Ramus> Let's just try not to die, right?
[18:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> Anyways, I still wondered why we didn't ID the wands
[18:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> It would have been useful to have a wand of fireball, yes?
[18:36] <Ramus> Always.
[18:36] <Ramus> Is that even a question?
[18:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> Rhetorical
[18:36] <Ramus> Right.
[18:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> Okay, Fire and Magic Dart
[18:36] <Xan> Because I already said what they were.
[18:36] <Xan> ...
[18:37] <Ramus> Xan!
[18:37] <Ramus> That's save scumming!
[18:37] <Xan> Yes?
[18:37] <Ramus> How dare you
[18:37] <Xan> Hush.
[18:37] <Ramus> Eh, whatever.
[18:37] <Xan> And you've done it too.
[18:37] <pesco47> Is this supposed to be your commentary log?
[18:37] <The_Astral_Pancake> Hey, I was the one that dissected Totaku's ghost
[18:37] <Xan> Good job.
[18:38] <The_Astral_Pancake> Getting aside from the point, let's actually start moving
[18:38] <Xan> Yes
[18:38] <The_Astral_Pancake> To the Dungeon!
[18:38] <Xan> TO THE DUNGEON!
[18:38] <Ramus> To the...
[18:38] <Totaku> Whateverok
[18:38] <pesco47> Toilet?
[18:38] <Totaku> I'm back
[18:39] <Ramus> Geh, this won't work.
[18:39] <The_Astral_Pancake> TOTAKU YOU SON OF A BITCH
[18:39] <Ramus> Pancake, just work with Xan.
[18:39] <Totaku> What happened Pancake?
[18:39] <The_Astral_Pancake> Nothing
[18:40] <The_Astral_Pancake> I was joking around, now I wish a horrible painful death upon you
[18:40] <Totaku> I'm waiting to hear your fate
[18:40] <Totaku> muahahahah!!!!
[18:40] <The_Astral_Pancake> Wow, a room full of orcs? Whatever shall I do?
[18:41] <Totaku> And while I'm at I'll will continue my reaver dwarf production plant
[18:41] <The_Astral_Pancake> Totaku, I hate you so much
[18:41] <Xan> Sure.
[18:41] <Xan> Yeah.
[18:41] <The_Astral_Pancake> The answer to a room full of orcs is pumping full of toxic gases
[18:41] <Xan> Yeah.
[18:42] <pesco47> Throw in a female orc!
[18:42] <Totaku> good thinking
[18:42] <Xan> Is this floor 8?
[18:42] <Ramus> Female orcs don't exist.
[18:42] <Xan> Cause that's where the ghost spawns.
[18:42] <pesco47> PHB2 begs to differ
[18:42] <Xan> And they do exist in ADOM
[18:43] <Xan> Pancake?
[18:43] <The_Astral_Pancake> Okay, I turned off training for all magic skills except for Conjurations and Spellcasting
[18:43] <Xan> Not even fire magic?
[18:44] <Ramus> We need fire magic.
[18:44] <The_Astral_Pancake> Okay, fire magic but none of the others
[18:44] <The_Astral_Pancake> Also the orc room has been invaded by Cloudkill
[18:45] <Xan> CLOUDKILL!
[18:45] <The_Astral_Pancake> Moving along
[18:45] <The_Astral_Pancake> Oh joy
[18:45] <The_Astral_Pancake> Wandering Mushrooms
[18:46] <The_Astral_Pancake> These guys usually appear with a specific Lair entrance or Vault
[18:46] <Totaku> They're in the dungeon
[18:46] <pesco47> Or they just appear wherever they feel like
[18:46] <pesco47> Cause they're wandering you know
[18:46] <The_Astral_Pancake> These enemies actually follow you but outside of your field of vision
[18:47] <The_Astral_Pancake> They are a pain in the ass if you forget that one is following you
[18:47] <Xan> Don't they all do that if they know you're nearby?
[18:47] <Ramus> Really?
[18:47] <Ramus> I never knew that.
[18:47] <Ramus> I just run up and smack it around and move on.
[18:47] <The_Astral_Pancake> However they are about as dangerous as a sack of kittens when you can see them
[18:47] <The_Astral_Pancake> In other words, free EXP
[18:47] <Ramus> So wait, how are they dangerous again?
[18:47] <Xan> I dunno, sacks of kittens are pretty deadly...
[18:48] <Ramus> I don't care if cats can murder in e3 of D&D, I fail to see how 'Shrooms are dangerous.
[18:48] <pesco47> Ever had Shrroms Ramus?
[18:48] <pesco47> Shrooms*
[18:48] <The_Astral_Pancake> They deal somewhat high damage for the level that we are at
[18:49] <Xan> But do they make the screen trip out?
[18:50] <The_Astral_Pancake> No
[18:50] <The_Astral_Pancake> It's dead, yay for EXP
[18:50] <The_Astral_Pancake> Moving on
[18:50] <Xan> hooray.jpg
[18:50] <Totaku> No ghosty yet?
[18:51] <Totaku> You must be lucky?
[18:51] <The_Astral_Pancake> No ghost
[18:51] <Totaku> lucky you
[18:51] <Xan> Did you use the bone files?
[18:51] <Ramus> No images yet?
[18:52] <The_Astral_Pancake> Ahaha, gnoll thinks that throwing nets are useful against mages
[18:52] <The_Astral_Pancake> Also I'm taking pics as I go
[18:53] <Xan> Gnolls are not known for their inteligence.
[18:54] <The_Astral_Pancake> Isn't it sad that once you get poison resist, contaminated meat is
actually safer?
[18:54] <The_Astral_Pancake> Wait
[18:54] <The_Astral_Pancake> No ghost?
[18:54] <Ramus> Did you put the bone files in?
[18:55] <The_Astral_Pancake> Yes
[18:55] <Ramus> Lucky so far then.
[18:55] <The_Astral_Pancake> Oh well, Totaku probably has more bullshit in store for us...
[18:55] <Ramus> Always.
[18:56] <Totaku> Everyone know I'm good at making a challege hard. :P
[18:56] <The_Astral_Pancake> Why are we carrying a potion of poison?
[18:56] <Ramus> Good question.
[18:56] <Ramus> We don't have evaporate, right?
[18:56] <Ramus> Dump it.
[18:56] <Totaku> I was wonder if we going to learn that spell where we thorw those potions
[18:56] <Xan> Because we needed another way to die.
[18:56] <Totaku> Yeah evapotate
[18:57] <The_Astral_Pancake> You mean awkwardly throw it.
[18:57] <Ramus> No.
[18:57] <pesco47> Don't you know all the bottles in Crawl are plastic?
[18:57] <Ramus> You use evaporate and then throw it for an area attack.
[18:57] <The_Astral_Pancake> Don't we have spells for that?
[18:58] <The_Astral_Pancake> Poison isn't even that useful late-game
[18:58] <The_Astral_Pancake> Before me and the rest of the group start arguing, floor 9!
[18:59] <pesco47> Not all potions evaporate into poison
[18:59] <The_Astral_Pancake> Did someone suicide a character named Cirno on floor 9?
[18:59] <Xan> Possibly
[18:59] <Ramus> Why?
[18:59] <The_Astral_Pancake> Because if they did I'm going to kill them
[18:59] <Ramus> Did you see a ghost named Cirno?
[18:59] <The_Astral_Pancake> Not yet
[18:59] <Ramus> Okay.
[18:59] <The_Astral_Pancake> I suspect Totaku
[18:59] <Xan> Then why are you asking?
[18:59] <Ramus> I'll put that on my to do list.
[18:59] <The_Astral_Pancake> Oh fuck
[18:59] <Ramus> Cirno, level nine ice elementalist to die on floor 9.
[18:59] <Totaku> Nope I didn't do a Cirno
[19:00] <The_Astral_Pancake> Shit
[19:00] <Ramus> What?
[19:00] <The_Astral_Pancake> Not one of these levels
[19:00] <Xan> Mini-vault?
[19:00] <Xan> Or something?
[19:00] <The_Astral_Pancake> The ones without any walls and are filled with pools of water with Electric Eels
[19:01] <Xan> Oh jeeze.
[19:01] <Xan> That's GAY!
[19:01] <Ramus> Sucks for wizards.
[19:01] <The_Astral_Pancake> Of course they somehow stayed asleep as I lit them on fire
[19:01] <Ramus> I'd suggest just moving on.
[19:01] <Ramus> Wat.
[19:01] <Ramus> Hey, steam cooked eel.
[19:01] <Ramus> Can I have some?
[19:02] <The_Astral_Pancake> No
[19:02] <Ramus> :(
[19:02] <The_Astral_Pancake> Fortunately throw flame deals extra damage to them
[19:02] <The_Astral_Pancake> And I run into Pysche
[19:02] <Xan> Who?
[19:03] <Ramus> Ghost, I assume.
[19:03] <The_Astral_Pancake> A unique who just fumbled around with her knife as I clouded her
[19:03] <Xan> XD
[19:03] <Ramus> Lame.
[19:03] <Ramus> Never seen her before.
[19:04] <Ramus> Be sure to get an image if you can.
I forgot we leveled up.
[19:04] <The_Astral_Pancake> I did
[19:04] <The_Astral_Pancake> Electric Eels can now be killed in one hit
[19:04] <The_Astral_Pancake> Joy
[19:05] <Xan> Yay.
[19:05] <The_Astral_Pancake> Oh look, a hill giant
[19:05] <Ramus> Oh dear.
[19:05] <The_Astral_Pancake> MEPHITIC CLOUD
[19:05] <Ramus> Physical brute.
[19:05] <The_Astral_Pancake> Now several times more well done
[19:06] <The_Astral_Pancake> I would like to use this opportunity to say fuck you to Crawl
[19:07] <The_Astral_Pancake> What is with the branded Dwarven Shield I could have used a few games ago?
[19:07] <The_Astral_Pancake> Turns until Iguana falls into water
[19:08] <The_Astral_Pancake> Nevermind, I forgot you can't drown in shallow water
[19:08] <Xan> 3
[19:08] <Xan> Lulz.
[19:09] <The_Astral_Pancake> ARTEFACT ROBE
[19:09] <Xan> Yay!
[19:09] <Ramus> YES
[19:09] <The_Astral_Pancake> Not that good
[19:09] <Ramus> What be it?
[19:09] <Ramus> :(
[19:09] <The_Astral_Pancake> Only a plus 4 to DEX
[19:09] <The_Astral_Pancake> No AC boost
[19:10] <The_Astral_Pancake> I feel sad now
[19:10] <The_Astral_Pancake> Let's take the anger out on something else
[19:10] <Xan> Yes.
[19:11] <The_Astral_Pancake> NEW BOOK
[19:11] <Xan> What is it?
[19:11] <The_Astral_Pancake> The book of Ice
[19:11] <Xan> HECK YEAH!
[19:11] <The_Astral_Pancake> We aren't even trained in Ice
[19:11] <Xan> More fire would be nice, but Ice will do...
[19:12] <Ramus> No.
[19:12] <Ramus> We need ice.
[19:12] <Xan> True, but it's useful.
[19:12] <Ramus> Elemental competence and stuff.
[19:12] <Xan> Yes.
[19:12] <Ramus> Besides, it isn't Patch if we aren't using every element.
[19:12] <Ramus> Throw Ice, please.
[19:13] <The_Astral_Pancake> Okay, that is way too many yaks
[19:13] <Xan> Uh, that's bad, isn't it?
[19:13] <The_Astral_Pancake> Badass Blink
[19:13] <The_Astral_Pancake> Next floor
[19:14] <The_Astral_Pancake> Should we learn Bolt of Cold?
[19:14] <Xan> Sure.
[19:14] <pesco47> Learn Blizzard
[19:14] <pesco47> Or is it too high level for us?
[19:14] <Xan> Probably.
[19:14] <The_Astral_Pancake> It isn't in the book
[19:15] <The_Astral_Pancake> I'm getting Bolt of Cold
[19:15] <Xan> Okay!
[19:15] <Xan> Now we have something to use against fire stuff.
[19:16] <The_Astral_Pancake> I'm only worried about spell hunger now
[19:16] <Xan> Well, then turn off everything except Spellcasting.
[19:16] <Ramus> Eh, no.
[19:16] <Ramus> We need ice magic up.
[19:17] <Xan> We don't have it yet,
[19:17] <The_Astral_Pancake> We can barely cast it
[19:17] <Xan> So it should auto-train, yes?
[19:17] <Ramus> Besides, the more you cast a spell, the less it costs for you.
[19:17] <Totaku> We should just cast it till we learn it
[19:17] <Ramus> As far as food goes anyway.
[19:17] <Totaku> seriously
[19:17] <Totaku> That's how it works
[19:17] <The_Astral_Pancake> Also I ID'd Recharge Wand, Teleport and MOTHERFUCKING EXPLOSION IN A SCROLL
[19:18] <Xan> Jeeze.
[19:18] <Xan> Explosion in a scroll?
[19:18] <The_Astral_Pancake> Woops
[19:18] <pesco47> Emo scroll
[19:18] <The_Astral_Pancake> That was bad
[19:18] <The_Astral_Pancake> Potion of degeneration
[19:19] <Ramus> Very bad.
[19:19] <Ramus> What dropped?
[19:19] <The_Astral_Pancake> Our INT dropped, and went back up within 5 turns
[19:19] <Xan> Yay!
[19:20] <The_Astral_Pancake> Then a Quasit lowered our DEX
[19:20] <Ramus> Heh.
[19:20] <The_Astral_Pancake> And we found an amulet of inaccuracy
[19:20] <Ramus> It's an easy demon to kill.
[19:22] <The_Astral_Pancake> Narrowly avoided death there
[19:22] <Xan> From what?
[19:22] <pesco47> Picked up a handaxe od Joyful Slaughter
[19:23] <pesco47> Putting the laughter in slaughter
[19:23] <The_Astral_Pancake> There were a few ogres and hippogriffs
[19:23] <Xan> Ah.
[19:23] <Xan> Nasty.
[19:24] <The_Astral_Pancake> Our STR went down due to illness
[19:24] <Ramus> Not a problem.
[19:24] <Ramus> Patch is actually quite strong for a deep elf wizard this time.
[19:24] <Ramus> No dying to gravity.
[19:24] <Xan> Yeah.
[19:25] <The_Astral_Pancake> Invisible Orc Mage, what shall I do?
[19:25] <Ramus> Run.
[19:26] <Ramus> If that thing melees you, you're screwed.
[19:26] <Ramus> Or find a hallways and hope it follows.
[19:26] <The_Astral_Pancake> Actually the correct answer is remember it's old position and cloud it
[19:26] <Ramus> Eh.
[19:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> Found a ring of levitation
[19:27] <The_Astral_Pancake> I find it odd that we haven't encountered any ghosts
[19:28] <Ramus> Sure those bone files are in the saves?
[19:28] <The_Astral_Pancake> Stuff like bones.06a?
[19:29] <Ramus> That should be it.
[19:30] <The_Astral_Pancake> Off to floor 11
[19:31] <The_Astral_Pancake> Okay, too many enemies
[19:31] <The_Astral_Pancake> Time to stairdance
[19:32] <The_Astral_Pancake> Pwhahaha
[19:32] <Xan> Go for it!
[19:32] <The_Astral_Pancake> woobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoob
[19:32] <Xan> What are you, a stooge?
[19:32] <The_Astral_Pancake> I'm in your base Mephitic Clouding your allies and stealing your books
[19:33] <Xan> Isn't that more Marisa's thing?
[19:33] <The_Astral_Pancake> We got a book of Charms
[19:33] <Xan> They're after me lucky charms!
[19:34] <Ramus> Marisa just goes for super power laser and kills all mooks in the vacinity.
[19:34] <Ramus> And runs before bosses can show up.
[19:34] <Xan> Right.
[19:34] <Xan> And Alice just Zerg Rushes dolls.
[19:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> I dodge past a group of orcs and killer bees
[19:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> More Uniques
[19:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> Oh, I hit 5000 turns
[19:35] <The_Astral_Pancake> Do you guys mind if I kill this guy first?
[19:35] <Xan> Sure.
[19:35] <Xan> As long as you don't go to 6000
[19:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> DONALD VS THE CLOUD!?
[19:36] <The_Astral_Pancake> WHO SHALL WIN?
[19:36] <Ramus> Donald?
[19:36] <Ramus> Don't think I've met him either.
[19:37] <The_Astral_Pancake> We win
[19:37] <Xan> Good job.
[19:37] <Totaku> He's a wimp
[19:37] <The_Astral_Pancake> HE WAS WEARING A ROBE OF RESISTANCE
[19:37] <The_Astral_Pancake> YES
[19:38] <The_Astral_Pancake> RESIST TO BOTH FIRE AND ICE
[19:38] <Ramus> Wait for it...
[19:38] <Ramus> FUCK YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
[19:38] <Ramus> Whatever, onto Suika now.
[19:39] <The_Astral_Pancake> Now that this round is over with, I'm going to hang back on the previous floor
[19:39] <The_Astral_Pancake> Just so nothing stupid happens
[19:39] <The_Astral_Pancake> So until next time, this has been the IRC group!
[19:39] <Totaku> Guess that means I call Patchouli
[19:40] <Ramus> With too many guest commentaitors.
[19:40] <The_Astral_Pancake> Any last words?
[19:40] <Ramus> SUIKA!
[19:40] <Ramus> RIP AND TEAR!
