KOL: Grr

[yendi]

I finally hit that moment that every HC player dreads. I got to level six of the tower, and there was the fucking cow.

Naturally, I hadn't scored a white picket fence at the Grove, nor had I gotten the barbed wire one at the Shore. And I failed to get it by the end of my turns today, meaning that tomorrow is the earliest I could possibly beat the NS. If the RNG doesn't hate me. *grumble*

The fact that I also hadn't nabbed a Disease, and that I'd run out of Hair Spray also cost me a few turns.

Still, assuming I kill the NS tomorrow or Friday, I'll be faced with the choice of hanging around until NS13, or ascending and being in either Ronin or HC when it happens. I'll probably choose the latter option, if only to ensure that I can HC Perm one more skill (since I'm not sure that the NS quest wouldn't be reset otherwise).

It was reset when Ascension first rolled out, so it's likely to be reset again.

That's my thinking as well.

What the heck are you talking about?

Kingdom of Loathing. A major addiction.

Random observation from the KOL n00b

"KOL: Grr." Sounds like a monster. "Kolger." Something with big claws and a rumbly voice...

(I know next to nothing about KOL. Can you tell?)

Ha! You should immerse yourself in it; it's a hell of an addiction.

You know, if you weren't familiar with KOL, this entry would read a bit odd. (*grins*)
Hope you have better luck tomorrow!

I'm in battle with the naughty sorceress herself for the first time evr to try to ascend... and have gotten beaten down by her 4 times today. I got to her second form once, but it's not easy being a very moxious Disco Bandit.

Take heart

If you get beaten up over and over, gradually she gets easier. Personally, I permed Ambidextrous Funkslinging, which makes the battle more winnable, if more expensive.
