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 bunch of dragons.) The same happened when he appeared to me later on, creating a clone of himself by casting double trouble. (He gets stronger every time you kill him - not heavily though.)

And that's with a Valk that has HP now over 450 (by the time around 400 if I remember right).

Anyway, be careful. I'm going to sleep now. 😛

How on earth did you get 400+ Hitpoints???

Nurses?
Potions?

 

[Eemeli]

Both.

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

And leveling up.

It seems the best thing is to have a cursed scroll of genocide. Then if you choose to genocide nurses (while in a closed area and a level where you cannot teleport) 8 or so nurses will appear!!!

Killed Rodney with ONE zap of a wand of dead and took his Book.

Went back to the vibrating square and YES... the magic worked.

Went on and killed all the creatures and even the High Priest was no problem.

Went back up (and down and up and down and up, nasty magic!) and up and up and the Wizard came back a few times and so I ran out of charges for my two wands of death. And then he played a most nasty trick: DOUBLE TROUBLE (or so he calls it) and then there were two....

Game over!!!!

 

[Eemeli]

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.

Oh well, thanks fpr all your advice. I now now almost everything from experience except what happens when you come back to the surface with the Amulet.

If I can manage that I'll create a new post!

Thanks again!
