Speed: 13

Pillar dancing probably wouldn't have helped much.

Though looking at it again, I guess you meant dancing th'gnoll and keeping the snake behind it. That... might have worked. If th'bugger hadn't been confused, heh. Well, and that line of rock had only been 1 tile wide on both sides, so the snake couldn't move around th'gnoll(s).

Going up against gnolls at lvl 4 with basically no armor and a +0 handaxe probably was just a bad idea all around

[Mr.Person]

Yeah, I meant just dancing the gnoll. If the snake jumps in front, smite it and continue dancing the gnoll. If the snake can get hits there, well, then jump in a hallway and spam smite. Or drink the potions and die, that's probably what I would of done at that point.

[Un67]

Actually, I already killed the snake. In retrospect, yeah, I should have pillar-danced or smited the gnoll.

Welcome back to our Let's Play of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. In this installment we'll be playing as Scalemate the DrSk (Draconian Skald). Now what's a Skald, you might ask? Basically a nerfed Crusader without the fun spells like Berserk Rage or Haste. Given that I had trouble playing with them before this nerf, I don't really think I'll be doing much better now. Also, I just had to change the software I use for taking pictures for this LP, so if the pictures look slightly different, keep that in mind. Shouldn't really be a problem, though.

Scalemate, our newest hero, enters the Dungeon. I chose the mace as his weapon so that we can eventually use a demon whip (hey, I can dream). Shall we look at his skills?

This is a passable spread, I suppose. I'll probably turn off M&F when I hit min delay, but until then this will do.

As you can see, the fun spells are indeed gone. Don't get me wrong, Repel Missiles and Regeneration are nice spells, but it's still nothing compared to the old book. They added a new spell apparently, Shroud of Golubria. Apparently it absorbs damage until it breaks, or something, which might be interesting.

Our first enemy, a goblin. And some loot.

The level was actually pretty boring up to this, just a ton of weak monsters that died in one or two shots and weren't worth showing. Anyways, Level 2! We can maybe start learning some spells for once.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our options. I'm actually not particularly sure what to learn, usually I pick up Freezing Aura for imps and snakes but the addition of the Shroud will probably shake this up. I think I'll actually pause here for this part of the update, what spells shall we learn?

[Krath]

I haven't played the nerfed Crusaders yet, but I've heard Shroud of Globuria is rather underwhelming. Go for Freezing Aura, I say.

[breadbocks]

Crusaders really needed the nerf. Get Shroud and Aura.

I just read the whole thread - would TrBe have survived if you have used ur tele scroll and then Beserked? The beserk would just have to tank the time it takes to kick in.

Suggestion: Deep elf Necro? I play them and was looking for your take on it.

[Un67]

Sorry for killing this thread earlier, guys, but I got busy and some stuff ended up happening to my computer and wiped out my files. I would love to keep going but I don't really have the will to keep this going.
