I read a scroll of (I believe) Vorpalize weapon. My weapon flashed white, gained a plus and now is "medusa slaying", so I got that going for me.
But now when I go into my inventory I can choose Inventory or Zap. How many charges do I have? I used another ID scroll on the weap to see what it was vorpalized against but no charges were listed. How hard do the zaps hit?
Zap?? WTH?

Re: Zap?? WTH?
A vorpalized weapon gets only ONE zap/charge. It can be used against the monster type that the weapon is good for, in your case "medusa slaying". If you actually zap a medusa with this, it will be instantly killed! No possible escape or counter attackLazySumo wrote:I read a scroll of (I believe) Vorpalize weapon.

After that it's still a medusa slaying weapon, you just don't have the one-zap kill anymore!
Re: Zap?? WTH?
No worries, I died to a pair of wraiths on level 15 anyway. Here's something new...
Take 1(one) set of highly enchanted plate mail at AC -3 (mind you, I've never before seen -3, this is gonna be an awesome run!!)
Add 1(one) water trap. Ouch, there goes an AC. No worries, this is still a great set!
Sprinkle with 1(one) confusion potion that makes me walk over the trap SIX TIMES?!?!?!?!? ARGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Sigh. By the time the wraiths came along I was effectively nekkid and ready for them to have their way with me.

Ouch............I try to keep extra sets of armor to explore in, and beef up a set of leather with any scrolls I find......if I find a set, of course. My favorite if I can get it is the elfin armor
Re: Zap?? WTH?
when confused i always tr to kill/neutralize enemies and rest in place to wear it off, especially if there traps around, thats just asking for it

I feel the pain, but imagining your character stumbling through the water trap again and Again and AGAIN kept me laughing for some time.

This is where ranged stuff comes in handy since, who knows the logic, being confused doesn't mess with your ranged weapons' accuracy.shadowspawn wrote:I feel the pain, but imagining your character stumbling through the water trap again and Again and AGAIN kept me laughing for some time.

you also can of course just wait out confusion by just sleeping/searching it off. i'm not sure if any potions heal confusion? blessing perhaps?
