#Dungeon crawl stone soup update#

:PĮDIT: Goddammit, there's no mention of the shield of the gong in that morgue file for some reason (maybe because its properties aren't randomized like most artifacts', though I don't know why that would make a difference). I think I might take a bit of a break first, though.

#Dungeon crawl stone soup update#

I suppose now would be a good time to finally update my copy of the game to the most recent version that came out in November, and see how that plays. Cocky, I know, but I was that overpowered relative to what the game was throwing at me. I even stopped at the exit to recuperate fully and quaff a couple of potions to remove my mutations (though it looks like I either missed one, or was somehow mutated once more in one of the little fights while I was trying to rest - probably the former). But I actually stopped and fought everything that appeared, and still didn't have any real problems on the way out. Then again, I don't know if the onslaught ramps up over time, or what. Hell, I probably could've safely gone and got that slime rune AFTER picking up the Orb. It turns out even the lords of Pandemonium had nothing on my beast of a character. In the end, the ascent was rather anticlimactic. I gather it's somewhat customary to post one's character file after one successfully beats a given Roguelike for the first time, so I suppose this is obligatory: :D
