CyningstanMy strategy for level 20 is... FLEE! You don't get XP for using banish scrolls, so I'm not levelling up any more. I need to focus on getting down to level 24 with as many potions and I can retain. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ossuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ossuary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ibmpc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ibmpc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#msdos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cga</a>

CyningstanThe stream is done! I managed not to get a single character killed this stream. Instead Attnini the Ranger reached Level 8, and is getting ready to deal with dark elves and daemons in the deeper dungeons.
