Angband log E 7/3/2022 Still Leo, the hobbit ranger - Accidentally went to L1, so I deep descented straight to L24 - giant silver ant corroded my gloves - Sense Surroundings is good, basically reusable magic mapping - why does an *air* hound poison me? - spell of resist poison grants resistance, but does not cure poison that's already there - resist poison is 100% effective - man i really need to get better armor - "this place seems murderous" i should probably go up a bit - why is there no scroll of deep ascent - found: Bolg, Son of Azog - died to a horde of orcs. Tbf, this was my bad for not having any scrolls of phase door. ... I think I'd like to do a melee class next time Grag, the half-troll warrior STR 18/50 INT 4 (jesus, really? 4? jesus...)

[y/n]" unclear if this is bc of the deep descent or just because it was at a higher floor than my max update: it's because it's at a higher floor than the max - on the surface, i bought 2 scrolls of recall and headed back down - L1: sling 25 pebbles 2 scrolls of darkness - Scroll of Darkness: darkens the surrounding area and fires a ball of darkness with radius 3, dealing 10 damage at the center also blinded me for a bit - Q: what's the "LF" on the bottom left of the screen? - L2 - L3: short bow (x2) (+0, +0) - 20 bolts - gas trap that causes blindness - L4: 2 wands of light (19 charges) 2 potions of heroism 1 potion of speed 1 potion of boldness leather sandals of slow descent [1, +3] metal cap [3, +0] 2 potions of sleep 1 potion of true seeing soft leather armor [8, +4] {??} (later found to be resist cold) wand of healing - threw a potion of sleep at a naga, but she didn't react to it - L5: 21 iron shots (+1, +2) {??} shovel (+2, +3) {??} wand of haste monster (19 charges) 4 potions of cure serious wounds wand of hold monster (2 charges) 2 potions of berserk strength - rot jelly drained my wisdom - rune: resist cold provides resistance to cold - can't zap wands at yourself - troll warrior has terrible devices skill, but is a great packrat - went back to the surface, stashed some stuff, bought a ring of protection [+10], 3 scrolls of treasure detection, 2 scrolls of recall, 1 iron helm [7, +0], went down to L5 - treasure detection appears to cover the whole map read 2 in a row, did not detect any new items detects some scrolls and potions but not others (?)

Found on rings of escaping. In a pretty good place rn. Got Forasgil and some solid armor.
