Let's Play ADOM

Chapter 21: Caverns of Chaos XI
Deeper into the Unreal Caves I go!
FUCKING KARMIC DRAGON
Giant ants and spiders
YAWN
Here we are.
Now, hell begins.
Something I can't see is draining my power points at an enormous rate.
Also, this entire hallway is trapped.
Traps do too much damage! It's not fair.
Time to use all those potions!
Now!
Time to flex my non-magical muscles a bit.
FIGHTING CHAOS SERVANTS
KILLING THE MAGEBANE EYES BEHIND THEM
Retreat! Retreat! They have an Annihilator!
I'll fight this thing once I'm safely out of reach of the damn eyes.
In fact, a fair number of monsters seem to be following me out here.
PROGRESS
This is going to take a while.
13 eyes left.
If I can't use my PP to cast, I'll use my HP!
2 PP can be produced by burning 1 HP. Magic Missile costs 4pp to cast, so I can cast it in 2 health!
This is bad for your Mana in the long term, but I'm so close to the end of the game that I don't really care.
A supernatural darkness is blocking my sight!
All this means is that I can't see what I'm annihilating.
Oho. Some good fortune for once!
While I was escaping from round 2 to recover PP again, the guardian of this temple has left his sanctum.
Also, there's only three damn eyes left.
@
Nuurag-Vaarn, the Chaos Archmage
You face an ancient, crippled man, who only manages to stay erect due to some invisible force. As frail as his body appears, his wrinkled face sports two glowing eyes emanating with waves of incredible power. In the rare moments you manage to look into the bright glowing eyes, you are able to catch a glimpse of many tentacles growing from the eye holes. The body of this creature is covered in an ancient black, very tattered robe that seems to be moving around his body with its own will.
Threat Level: 10/10
Special: Unique, chaos guardian, spells
Corpse: MASSIVE corruption, +11 speed, +12 Ma
I have no intention of playing fair here! Wherever possible, I'll fight Nuurag from around corners.
He's getting closer!
HE'S IN MELEE RANGE
ABANDON STRATEGY, USE BALL SPELLS
COWARD TACTICS FULL ON OFFENSIVE RAAAGH
IGNORE STAT DRAINS
MORE VIOLENCE
GOT THE FUCKER
That only took about 40 save restores and 4 divine interventions!
Going with Very Pious.
LEVEL UP AGAIN! That was 2,576,440 exp, by the way.
At level 40, I gain the stupidly pointless ability to uncurse items.
I already know the spell Remove Curse.
Holy christ, here's the third one.
Next level at 13,350,934 experience.
Reading my last scroll of chaos resistance!
I didn't want to deal with poison hands.
CHAOS ORBS
Chaos Orb of Elemental Water
Chaos Orb of Elemental Fire
Chaos Orb of Elemental Air
Chaos Orb of Elemental Earth
Chaos Orb of Elemental Mana
AND NOW TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS PLACE.
CORRUPTION ALERT
You have become very light
Weight divided by ten.
Strength -6.
Dexterity +4.
Toughness -6.
Appearance -6.
+20 Speed.
NOT happy about losing an even hundred HP here, but I have no choice but to put up with it. Strength of Atlas at least lets me carry my equipment safely.
I almost gained FOUR levels from taking down Nuurag!
This may be my last talent - I'm going with Long Stride.
Floor 48!
There are five strange things here.
I wonder what this is!
INSERT CHAOS ORB OF ELEMENTAL EARTH
And then there were four.
CHAOS ORB OF ELEMENTAL WATER
And then there were three.
&
Balor
Threat Level: 9/10
Special: Corruption, summoning, immune to fire, teleports
Corpse: N/A
CORRUPTION ALERT
You have grown thorns
3d3 melee damage when unarmed.
-2 Dexterity.
-3 Appearance.
Took the balor down! I feel accomplished.
Oh, and I hit level 43 earlier. Next level at 15,190,395 experience.
CHAOS ORB OF ELEMENTAL AIR
And then there were two.
CHAOS ORB OF ELEMENTAL FIRE
And then there was one.
CHAOS ORB OF ELEMENTAL MANA
And then there were none.
Something just changed on this floor.
The staircase has changed directions.
There's no turning back.
More corruption while I wait for my PP to recover!
Next time: This is it! The brutal final battle!
