Jeff, your random number god gave me hell. I played several games
where I was murdered early or assaulted by dozens upon dozens of named
monsters and OoD monsters.
Alright. Yzg. This name is now UNLUCKY. To get things straight: I only
picked Klaskov or H'ruth when leveling (H'ruth as the starter) and
never touched Xom. First several games played with him I was
slaughtered by named Grid Bugs and other named monsters (but mainly
GBs) within the first 200 turns of playing. Once I got a nice game
going, I was encountering DRAGONS on L2 and Ice Daemons on L3 (a named
one was my third encounter with them). This is not common for a barb/
fighter (I usually start getting dragon spam at L8 or L9). The worst I
normally get is a frog, giant bat, or a cock (one appeared on L2, but
I had a ring of unchanging unIDed).
Now. As I have said. OoD and named monsters by the dozens. Yes. At
least 24. Several OoD named ones as well. I was fighting about 2 at
once at one point. Amazingly no Gold Beatles. Only one named was from
a special room (bat forest, the usual named VB). No Artifacts. I was
fighting a named Ice Daemon and its Frost in the cleared out bat room
(used my wand of fire to kill the named VB). I killed the Frost
seperately from the Daemon, then I killed the Daemon as well as a
large spider in an impalement.
The only good I did happen upon were several enchant armour scrolls
and used them to up my platemail (used 4, one was evil, it seems) and
a ring of unchanging which I didn't know I had.
I also happened upon a Kobold with a wand of digging. He was digging
through the floor under himself whenever I came into view. Annoying
but not entirely useless. Just not as annoying or useless as a Kobold
with a teleport wand or the named teleporting Imp I encountered on L2.
I explored the rest of the level before going into the holes. This
saved me from a Yellow Dragon on L5, as I was fighting it from above a
hole. I almost died, but I dropped before it could finish me and
rested, but was almost taken out by an Imp. When I was exploring the
rest of the level, I was ambushed, cornered and slaughtered by several
monsters. The two closest being a Yellow Dragon and a the Iron/Steel
Golem.
