This was weird. I was just trying to get rid of the corpse so it wouldn't spawn any more (not sure if that actually works but I try it anyway)

I know that message would appear if you tried to offer the encrypted scroll. And later I was able to sacrifice it on a different altar. Why wasn't it allowed here?

The golems got me in 19 of the 20 games, but this last one I just kept getting blasted with electricity

Forum search is broken, I'll have to look into that. So I'm sure there's a topic on this already

In my opinion Tomb of Xinroch level 5 (3rd level underground) is way too big of a jump in difficulty. I don't think 2 underground levels is enough time to prepare you for an apprentice dark mage and golem room. So far I haven't come close to beating that level anyway.

Just my experience from the last 20+ games.

I didn't know sirens could turn your pets against you, nice!

I feel like leprosy is still not obvious enough. I never notice until I lose a limb. I think there was *one* occasion where I saw that I had sores.

Also I think that the confused state from sirens lasts wayyyyy too long. I feel like I'm stumbling around drunkenly for days after encountering sirens.

Interesting, thanks Izzy. I hadn't thought of the fact that the plants would also be targeting my chest because of their low dex

Somewhat related question

I typically go for halberds. This time around I'm trying something different and dual-wielding a short sword and a whip.

It seemed like literally every carnivorous plant I came across would deal damage to my chest (constantly going from pink to red. Heal to pink, take a step, plant spawns, hit back to red, repeat)

Is that just because the sword & whip combo is terrible at blocking damage? Have I just always taken for granted the blocking capabilities of a big weapon like a halberd? I did have hardened leather armor which isn't the greatest but didn't seem to protect me AT ALL from these plants

I think I've figured out that a lot of the segmentation faults I'm getting when descending to a new level are because it's trying to load the bones files from a game with different scripts.

Yeah I was hoping it would be easy to just tweak the effect of endurance/HP to be slightly lower. But I guess it's probably too delicate of a balance to even mess with

Ah yeah, I remember first discovering ommel tooth platemail. So exciting... then you start to notice the flies but you're not sure why... then suddenly it's gone when you need it most
