Hello, this is my first win on DCSS 0.34.1, it’s also my first win playing on ther Android ASCII port (also my first win on Troll species). This port is really nice, it’s available on PlayStore maintained by noisewar (completely free & no ads, many thanks for the port noisewar).
Morgue File: DCSS TrBe of Trog Velona (3 Runes) - Pastebin.com
I usually play DCSS offline on laptop, my previous ascension was on DCSS 0.31.0. After quite a long break from the game, this run i decided to go for something simple (TrBe of Trog) with Auto Skill management turned on from the beginning until the end of the game to spice things up. I usually go with Manual Skill management, and the Auto Skill wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be (or maybe it’s because i’m playing TrBe which makes things more managable).
There are a lot of new stuff in this version which are completely new to me. To my surprise, this run i haven’t encountered any deadly Uniques worth exclusion mark, and everything went smoothly… until Zot: 4. I went into a transporter to get some loots for my resistances, then i saw something inside the translucent doors… Orb of Winter. My first reaction was “Hold on, is that what i think it is??”. I thought it was always Orb of Fire on my last few games. Luckily i have 1 pip of Cold resistance along with quite some HP to deal with them.
On Zot:5, i made a fatal mistake. I was surrounded by 3 Orb of Winters on one of the Zot:5 lung. I immediately read scroll of fog then teleportation. After some melee actions going on between us, i managed to kill one of them. I thought “Well it’s managable now, let me finish the other two with Berserk invocation”. What i didn’t remember was… I already read a scroll of teleportation and the teleportation was on delay!!!
After i killed the rest of them, i (obviously) got teleported to the middle of a crowd (with Berserk still active!!). I was terribly nervous of the aftereffect of Berserk because of my dumb mistake, but i saw a ray of hope… a teleporter trap was right next to me!. I immediately jumped into it and luckily got teleported out of both lungs, near the up staircase. I managed to clear the entire Zot:5 after that with careful play.
I decided to pick up the Orb and settle for 3 Runes (as i wasn’t too confident with going for more than 3 Runes playing Troll species at that time). The orb run was not very threatening, i already prepared the escape route from Zot:4 to Dlvl:1 with wand of digging. Luckily, i managed to do it despite having only 2 scroll of blinking, 5 scroll of fog, and 2 potion of invisibility. Next time i’m playing Troll species, i’ll be sure to go for more than 3 Runes ![]()
