You feel Seges is pleased.
You notice a bunch of kamikaze dwarves in the corridor which you don't recall spawning anywhere.

Let's say that I'm not stopping you if you want to

Oh, and by the way, this is slightly off-Petrus, but here's what you can do to Attnam in wizmode rather easily:

Hehehe, thanks


Heh, you do it

(I currently retreated to having fun spawning a hostile Petrus in New Attnam - he's even complete with summoning his own angels)


The way the game handles what creatures follow you is based on whether they are within your field of view. I got whole Attnam out with me and into GC1 by setting the view to the whole screen (in wizard mode), but then I used a regular field of view, so by GC3, I was left all alone (I tried to get one of Petrus' wives to follow me, but for some reason she ran away, and since you're possessing Petrus rather than being in "player's team", you can't give commands to the NPCs to follow you).

Also, something like 20% of Attnam population are kamikaze dwarves - that may have something to do with it, too.

(that may not belong here, but it doesn't belong to the writing section either - and hey, it's got spoilers)

One day, Petrus, the high priest of the Great Frog decided that sending unfortunate adventures to kill Elpuri is no way to cope with the problem and decided to go kill the dark frog himself.

He also took the whole town with him.



"Hey guys, let's go kill Elpuri!" "Okay!"

---

At the spot, it turned out that the dungeon is pretty crowded when you stack all of Attnam inside.



"So, where are those *monsters* I heard about?"

---

Of course, the real trouble was when those damn dolphins refused to let Petrus through.



"I told it to move, but it just peeps passionately at me!"

---

One level below that, Petrus was greeted with a display of fireworks as his comrades either stepped on randomly placed mines or blew themselves up, kamikazing enemies.



"Boom! Ouch! My ears! And I didn't even get to Enner yet!"

---

When he was finally left by his comrades, including his pesky wives, Petrus was all alone and in secret gave in to idolatry.



"Mmm... mmm... hear my prayers, Cleptia... nevermind the fact that I'm a high priest of Valpurus..."

---

Then Petrus got poisoned and vomited himself to death.

But not really.



"Aurgh! I'm dead! ...just kidding. I've got this AoLS and the cheat mode on."

---

Later, Petrus met Ischaldirh. He tried to melee the bastard, but he didn't succeed, so he just left the stoopid archmage behind.



"See you, sucker!"

---

When given a moment of tranquility in between being molested by stat drops and Izzy's attacks, Petrus drunk from a fountain and started to like full moons.

Unfortunately, some game mechanic forbode him from changing into a werewolf even when he was asked to and confirmed.



"Gulp, gulp. I like full moons."

---

The ordeal with Ischladirh made Petrus realise the errors of his ways, and he turned back to the light, becoming a pious adherent of Legifer.

That's when he turned into a "mildly lawful" high priest of Valpurus.



"Mumble mumble... funny books..."

---

Then Petrus killed that Enner Beast everyone was talking about. With a stab in the groin.



"Take that, sucker!"

---

A bit later, Petrus had an unfriendly encounter with a kamikaze priest of Valpurus. He had to persuade him not to explode in a relatively non-violent way, ie. by cutting off both of his arms.



"Do you see the errors of your ways NOW? Do you see why it is wrong to try and blow up the high priest of Valpurus even though it is okay to blow up anyone else?"

---

Miles more below the surface, Petrus finally met his friend Ivan, whom he had sent down sometime ago. They chatted a bit, fought some orcs, and then Ivan got blown up by a kamikaze dwarf.



"Hmm. Nice gas mask."

---

Afterwards, Petrus found a scroll of wishing and decided that since childhood he'd always wanted to fly.



"Woohoo! Flying high priest of the great frog!"

---

Finally, entering the level of the dreaded Elpuri, Petrus seemed to have lost his senses and indulged himself in diabolical acts...

The rumours were true! Petrus eats puppies!



"Munch, munch, mwahahaha. All work and no play make Petrus a dull boy! Munch, munch."

---

As Petrus skills decreased, he had realised that he did not practice his biting lately.



"Back in Attnam, I was the champion in the art of biting!"

---

Then Petrus killed Elpuri. See, this wasn't so hard after all!



"But... But... I ruined my boots! I should have sent in some slave to do this, after all."

---

On the way back to the surface, Petrus witnessed the dementia of his former city folks. Hulbo the shopkeeper, for example, became a cannibal.



"It's a dwarf, it doesn't count! Munch, munch."

---

But when at last he returned to his home he had fought so hard to protect, Petrus realised that the city is empty... except for some bizarre guy and his dog.



"What the HELL are you talking about, man?"

---

And then Petrus recalled that he must have scared off all the cityfolk because he returned in a gods-damn GAS MASK.



"But hey, it makes me look cool."

THE END.

Useless trivia:

The Holy Banana displays the damage it deals, but can't be enchanted.

Invisible stalkers have a separate "plural name" entry in the char file, even though they shouldn't need one... a hint of a once different name?


Wow. I didn't even know the wands keep their charge number - I just assumed the scrolls restart them to a random amount.

Seriously speaking - no. :/ Usually my only stat-decreasing trouble included leprosy.

Edit: Haha, indeed. Just saw it today after a vomiting spree after eating the holy banana

Hi, vomiting.

One problematic thing to mention about weapons is that most of the ones you come across early are made of rustable materials, so think repairs unless you hoard intelligence high enough to harden them. This is particularly annoying about daggers (hence whips are overally better, IMHO).

Also, throwing in Ivan is a bit pointless... aside from the grenades in CVS, there are barely any really useful thrown weapons, unless you like collecting and stacking junk daggers.

Saving a scroll of wishing?

But...

But...

...why?

Ah, that may be. :/
