Nethack

@NathanMerrill If you've BUC tested it, sure. Remember the description of the potion because there is a mapping between description and actual thing (random for each save file)

Sherlock9

Whoops

quartata

Usually you'll want to #dip a unicorn horn in it but obviously you don't have that

Sherlock9

I picked it up

quartata

You might have autopickup for chests on

DJMcMayhem

Oh heyo

Nathan Merrill

6:16 PM

BUC?

quartata

Blessed/uncursed/cursed. Like the pet thing I showed you

Sherlock9

No I hit , earlier

quartata

Later on when you find an altar you can use that to BUC test

Nathan Merrill

oooh, an orc zombie

Sherlock9

Alright, should I explore some more or move on to level 2?

And can you play this on Android?

I want to continue this tomorrow

quartata

6:19 PM

@Sherlock9 I'm sure there is a source port

@Sherlock9 I think you've found every room

Sherlock9

Well, I just meant ssh nethack@nethack.alt.org

So down or up?

quartata

Going up on the first level takes you to the outer planes and if you don't have the Amulet of Yendor it auto kills you

So down

Sherlock9

Still not used to hjklyubn haha

quartata

You'll get really good at vim on the bright side

You can move into a boulder to push it.

Although in this case I don't think you'll need to push it

In a certain level it's used as a puzzle element

Sherlock9

That's true. I've never used vim before though and I'm not sure when it will come in handy at the moment

quartata

6:23 PM

@Sherlock9 hjkl is how you move in vim.

All right, make sure you test those gloves

Sherlock9

How?

quartata

The pet test remember?

Ah, I meant where

Oh. Hmm...

Looks fine

6:24 PM

Move down that corridor a bit?

Oh she just walked over it

OK, you're clear

OK, they're just +0 but still worth

Sherlock9

Ah nuts

quartata

By the way, armor class is descending in Nethack, like it is in ADND. So the lower your overall armor class is the better

@Sherlock9 Just move diagonally

Sherlock9

I moved the boulder into a corner

oh right

I think I killed a shrieker without realizing

quartata

If you didn't realize then don't worry about it

You'll know when a shrieker yells

Sherlock9

Okay then

What about the fountain?

quartata

6:28 PM

Ooh, a fountain!

Don't do anything with it right now

But write a note somewhere that it's on level 2

When you're XP Level 5 we'll come back and dip for Excalibur

Sherlock9

Got it

oops

did 110

Also, naiad?

@quartata what does "the splashing of a naiad" mean?

Is it the fountain?

quartata

Yeah.

It's just a noise from it

I should eat lunch. If you have further questions the wiki can answer all things

nethackwiki.com/wiki

Sherlock9

gas spore?

quartata

Don't attack it if you don't have a ranged weapon

It'll explode

Sherlock9

Aha I should check the wiki

Well, it's in the way

quartata

6:35 PM

You can probably take the explosion, I'd check just to be sure

Sherlock9

Crap

I'm fine. Took 13 HP

Iron bars

Well, I took another gas spore to the face, but I'm at exp level 3 now

@quartata, the locked door here won't budge

I think my kitten is missing

Or dead

I have no idea how, but it was either one of the gas spores or the dart trap

Found it

@quartata, I can't suspend the game

Never mind. Was actually looking for the save and exit button. Goodnight

quartata

7:02 PM

@Sherlock9 You'll get a message if your pet dies. And locked doors can usually be kicked open (ctrl-d)

"You feel sad for a moment, but then it passes" - message when a pet dies to a monster

DJMcMayhem

11:59 PM

Shall I pick a character's race, role gender and alignment for you?

[ynaq]

quartata

Hell no

DJMcMayhem

uhh.... What should I pick?

How about ranger or samurai?
