Death of Bizz

My character Bizz started to get really powerful. So I decided to have him dive quickly into the dungeon. He was character level 32. So I thought he could go much deeper than dungeon level 26 where I was staying at.

At first things just got a little more difficult. I found that I could defeat singular enemies. But when multiple enemies colluded, my health points got low real quick. I figured that all I needed to do was to exercise caution.

Then the unthinkable happened. Some type of bat from off the screen (or in an unlighted area) started breathing on me. It poisoned me. And it also took a whopping amount of hit points each time the bat breather. Before long I was dead.

Ouch. I had spent a lot of time bringing Bizz up. He had achieved some really nice items like two rings of intelligence +5 each. My overall intelligence gave me a whopping 250 mana points. I am not sure how I am going to recover. Perhaps I shall let the Borg have a shot to start up another character. More on that later.

Choice of Rings

In Angband, you only have two rings fingers to equip. It is sometimes a tough choice given all the kinds of rings you can find/buy. Initially I gave my character Bizz a ring of see invisible. I hate invisible creatures sneaking up on me and stealing my stuff. This ring gave me a better awareness.

My character is now a level 25 mage. I have two main techniques for battle. I haste myself. Then I cast offensive spells. All of this requires a lot of mana. Therefore I have decided to wield rings of intelligence on both of my ring fingers.

I am severely lucky to have purchased two rings of +5 intelligence each. Now I must confess that I participated in a little scumming to locate the rings. But that is a story for another post. Currently my intelligence is a whopping 18/130. That gives me a Max SP of 155. In other words, my magical ability is plain evil.
