Once I ran into a pack of golden eyes on the ascension (not sure if summoned by pan lord?) but luckily had amulet to resist paralyzation. | ||

I never got a rune after playing for months and months until I played my first tourney, where I got a rune and won my first game. Tourneys are magical times for me-- I find I do much better and focus better since winning matters more. | ||

It can also be a pretty nice social way to play crawl, where you interact with your teammates a lot and learn from them; over on my team we have an irc channel where we all hang out and there is a ton of camaraderie. Tournaments are extremely fun to play, to the point where it's the only time I play crawl anymore. Highly recommended for anyone, don't worry about being a noob  | ||

1304315 crate the Sensei (level 26, 196/196 HPs) http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/crate/morgue-crate-20140419-030035.txt This game was unexpectedly fun, probably because HETm is seriously awful. I may be done for the tournament now. | ||

However, I've been wondering if there is a way to tell some orc to pick up specific gear, as I recently found an excellent artifact flail and have a flailing orc knight who will not pick it up. drop the loot on the floor -> press ctrl+t to talk to your orcs -> then 'a' for them to pick up loot from all sources->then walk them over top the loot sometimes it doesnt work, though, like, if the item is cursed or if they are already committed to a certain weapon class | ||

Still pleased with that milestone, gotta reach that orb eventually! nice work! typically you should not do Elven halls so early though, it's scary as heck, especially the last floor. | ||

But then again this char had the most ridiculous start that i can probably afford to lose 3 blink, 4 tele, 5 fear, 3 fog among other scrolls What I usually do with Volcanos is drop a few scrolls before passing through the portal. Once you're inside, don't drop anything you're not afraid to lose. | ||
