Playing Rogue Day 2

I burned through quite a few characters this time. First up was save2600:

Things were going fairly well until i hit level 4. I entered a room with a slime and started attacking it.

But i kept missing and it kept splitting. Needless to say i was overwhelmed with slimes and succumbed

to them.

Next up was ianoid:

I made it all the way to level 8 but through out my adventure ran into quite a few rattlesnakes. Just so

you know rattlesnakes poison you which lowers your strength by one. I had fought so many my

strength had lowered to 2 out of 16. I barely could kill anything and i had no magical items to remove

the effect so a lowly slime put an end to my adventure.

Next up was AtariBrian:

Things were going well for me until level 8. I stumbled into a teleportation trap which teleported me

to another portion of the map and confused me for a bit. There also was a mad centaur in the room

that decided it didn't like me so he finished me off in quick fashion.

Next up was nitrosport:

I was doing well until level 7 where for some reason i couldn't hit anything including the zombie

that ate my brains.

And last up was FibroFreak78:

I've saved the best for last. I got pretty far with this character even though they had a timely death

as well. Things didn't start off so well though. I found a set of banded mail amor. I knew it was much

better than what i was wearing but didn't have a scroll of identify on me. I took a chance and put it on

and what do you know it was cursed (-4 banded mail). The problem with cursed items like many

games, once you put it on it can't be removed without some type of magical item. While wandering

around i ended up in this room.

Through sheer luck i survived this encounter and here is where my luck turned to the good. From all

the treasure i picked up i was able to remove the curse on the armor and replace it with something

better and also collected multiple enchant weapon scrolls. When it was all said and done i had a

+5/+3 mace. I now was able to kill things in one shot that used to take 3-4 shots. Unfortunately my

luck ran out on level 13 when i fell into a pit and ended up at the feet of a nasty troll who killed me.

This is as far as i've made it so far. I finally got out of level 7-8 but now i must start anew.

And now the high score table:

I'm not sure i will be posting any more updates until next week. Me and the wife are going out of town for the weekend down to Miami for a Sci-fi convention. But you never know.

Very cool! I like your documentation of the games and kills. :)

 

Funny what a game idea will do. That thread seems to have spurred a few people's interest in Rogue, including me. I played it many years ago, and again started playing this last week after reading the thread. Made it all the way up to level 17. But I'll admit I was save-cheating. :P

 

I started playing NetHack in the last 3 days. It's a lot of fun, and REALLY FRUSTRATING! This time I'm not save-cheating. I've managed about level 5 so far.

 

By the way, on FibroFreak78's game, the room with all the monsters and items is called a vault. They're pretty rare. I've never personally found one.
