    with what I feed my dragon?

    Hmm, very hard to say. I've had a bunch of dragons as pets, and I'm quite sure that they won't eat food or tripe rations (it's worth a try anyway). The corpses are a good solution, but if you want to make sure the dragon won't starve, you'll have to have something with you. I'd suggest a couple...

    Beyond Failure

    Ha, finished my Valkyrie and took a few ascension shots. Angered Odin in the final meters, so my AC got up from -45 to -33. :( (It would've been below -50 but I wielded two weapons instead of my shield of reflection.) Otherwise, great game.

    Beyond Failure

    Good tactic, I've never tried that one. Just remember when wishing, instead of one, wish for two (or three, I prefer two). Instead of +0 wish for +2 (--).

    Beyond the Castle

    Damn. :( And yeah, Rodney's pretty tough, and you'll have to kill him a bunch of times, so trusting just the wand of death is risky.

    Both. It's cool to be on an unteleportable level and see three nurses while blindfolded (and telepathic). And leveling up.

    Is it possible I'm levelling too fast?

    Heh, it seems you're playing a game with several possible ways to die: genociding yourself after creating tons of scrolls and getting bored of humans, eating the corpse of Death in the End Game, using a finger of death at yourself while not having magic resistance... :D Anyway nice to see...

    Beyond the Castle

    Now that's what I call bloody progress. =) Have been few days off the pc but back again. 240 HP is good versus Rodney. I'd say you can go to face him. But do not be careless. I killed him with my valkyrie and he was the only enemy for a long while to really get my HP lower. (By summoning a...

    Is it possible I'm levelling too fast?

    It should work, as long as you're not too careless. I have never really played wizard myself, but I'll still try to give some advice. The HP ain't that bad considering your class (you'll get it up if you drink all the extra potions of healing instead of leaving them in the dungeon, though)...

    My Valkyrie's been advancing. :P AC: -32 HP: 316 Exp: 23 St: 18/** Dx: 23 Co: 18 In: 13 Wi: 18 Ch: 12 Killing monsters is the basic way to get your character better. The more powerful the monster, the more experience. So I'd suggest you to be rather deep in Gehennom. (Of course it's sometimes...

    Beyond the Castle

    No problem. I still have some things to add. Eat every Wraith / Barrow wight corpse you get, they'll level you up every time. (Up to XL30.) Eat all the giants you get, your strength will get better. But don't eat too much, since you don't want to choke (continue eating? always no). A tinning...

    Beyond the Castle

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll do that. And if he doesn't, you can always go back to his tower when you're stronger.

    Beyond the Castle

    Rodney probably teleported to the stairway, he does that when he's low on HP (as all the other major foes). I suppose you can leave his tower and get back to the same floor, outside the walls and he'll teleport next to you. Your weak links are HP and experience. You should have twice the hit...

    " Escaping drowning If you see the message foo swings itself around you!, you usually have only one turn to escape death by drowning (except if the monster is a kraken, which is very slow and will not get its next attack for at least three turns). On this turn, you can: * Pray, which can...

    Beyond the Castle

    You'll have to go to the portal in the fake tower. Then you teleport inside Rodney's castle (or whatever it is), inside the undiggable walls. Then all you have to do is to clear the way two (if I'm correct) floors up, and you're in Rodney's floor, ready to face him. :D :lol:

    Beyond the Castle

    Yeah, just hit them. They'll die rather soon with your Excalibur (have you remember to #enhance your weapon skill?). And remember to be in the stairway, so that they can't escape (they only try to go up, never down). I suppose sleep doesn't work, but it's worth a try. Oh and it's +6 or +7. If...
