Painful end

I tried spells few more times and failed. And then I took the didgeridooka and finally won. Painful, terrible. Almost 3 days of moxie leveling! I would have to try this again some time and try different strategy. Like attack items.

Run length: 14 days / 1808 adventures (very bad)

I suck

Did not defeat her. Was very very close. BM Sauceror evidently needs a different strategy than BM Pastamancer.

Saucing the way

2 adventures and I am in the tower:

Giant Desktop Globe - 1 adventure
El Diablo - 1 adventure
Tyrannosaurus Tex - 1 adventure
darkness - 10 adventures (including 2 skippable and semi-rare)
Ice Cube - 1 adventure
collapsed mineshaft golem - 1 adventure

Shadow with scented massage oil & one filthy poultice...

Familiars: angry goat and barrrnacle were needed. No problem here and I saved the 2nd irradiated snacks.

Now, the real problem. 1st try: beaten by the first hit of the 2nd form. With my spells doing like <150 damage, I needed 3 hits to defeat the first form.

A dance card, 2 more quick loses and then another real try - lost to 2nd form again.

A bit of moxie leveling and I tried again using item after running out of MP. And I lost again. I guess, more moxie or luck is needed.

I tried and leveled and tried. On the last adventure I almost won. I managed to land 3 hits on the 2nd form, one of them critical, but it was not enough. Tomorrow then. BM Sauceror really sucks compared to BM Pastamancer against the NS. If I only had not wasted all the healing items...

My closest but failed run

With war frat uniform what can I do? Join the frat boys - the nursery with MP recovery is better for aftercore anyway.

I did the junkyard, stupidly forgetting to pick up the magnet first.

27 lengthy adventures in the orchard, the first gland took over 20 advs. The rock concert will be full of filthworms.

I am forgetting the BM adventures...

A star collector is me.

The battle field - finished with 24 adventures and 3 drunkenness left. But 1500 substats are missing. And a potato.

Reached level 13 with 8 adventures left. Thinking about it now, I should have eaten better food today.

Thinking some more...it would not help much - I miss the chewing gum and I have not enough potions. I got all the other gums before the right one. At least I also got a half-sized guitar.

So 4 adventures left :-(, and I am inside the lair. I ended on the courtyard, having obtained the key and I am one rotation away from the tower gate. This sucks. With ~20 more adventures my chance at ascending today would be good.

Sauceror on myst day

I have to say, BM Sauceror is tricky. First, it was a MP problem and now it is a HP problem. I had to buy the sauce spheres, but with a bit of bad luck, I lose more HP than I recover when fighting higher level monsters.

Anyway, I finished the MacGuffin quest and started the island war. Forgetting this is a BM run, I stupidly got the fratboy war uniform. Now what?

Before mysticality

Tomorrow is myst day, but I had lots to do, namely getting to level 11 and obtaining dusty bottles and collect a bounty. I managed to do the first part, but then drank a couple of wrong bottles. Oh dear.

Island and more

Lots and lots of 334 scrolls, no 30669's. They seem to drop less in later runs.

I collected 6 insults (~ 35% chance of winning) and played the beer pong for whole 10 adventures. F'c'le was fast though (another 10 adventures with Hella Smooth).

Some leveling up...

This is better

Good food and decent drinks, hippy outfit and drinks. MP regeneration is still a problem. Need more meat for better spells fast. I finished the loose ends except trapper quest - cold resistance is needed.

Jarlsberg fest

Jarlsberg is nice for a BM Sauceror.

I opened DoD and got a wand, zapped bugbear beanie. Then I got Jarlsberg's key and went fruit-golem-hunting. 9 limes, 7 cherries. Not too bad.

Got chrome staff from the trapper. Do not have enough muscle :-(.

Finally some action

I did the needed vacations and then the hippy outfit. Now I can kick some demon ass.

I got the steel margarita. Getting enough drinks may prove difficult. I ate stir fries today. I guess I'll have to do try to obtain a key and limes tomorrow.

Working on the Nemesis quest...

And so slow

Bad luck in the tower again - no brain. But I do not have the skull anyway, so it kind of cancels itself out.

Getting lazy

Sucky

Being a Bad Moon Sauceror is a poor state. I spent a lot of time in spooky forest unlocking the temple and getting torso. At least I collected 6 vampire hearts, 4 spices and 18 mushrooms.

I got 3 mimics in the barrel instead of mixed drinks. So I finally finished the tavern, found Fernwarthy's grave and adventured on the Cola battlefield.

I really should build the cheff.

Boring end and boring beginning

So, I finished what was needed. Then I realized I have pulverized all my star hats and weapons and I had to return to the castle and into the hole. Sucks.

NS fight was not hard. 1 critical first form, 2 normal hits second form. With a little bit more +spell damage, I would 1 hit kill the second form as well.

Run length: 5 days / 888 turns (my first SOFTcore).

Now, Mayor Zapruder, sea skill, bounty and Bad Moon as Sauceror. Wow, 3 Sauceror ascensions in a row, that cannot end well.

I spent virtually all time in spooky fores and now I am waiting for the torso-giving adventure.

Tomorrow's priority is getting normal food.

Slowish

I did not bother to pull expensive consumables and saved my lunchbox. I would be possible to finish today, bu since I want to get Deep Saucery this run, I would not be able to ascend anyway, so there is no rush. Tomorrow I can pull more of the PADL phones and stuff I forgot to exchange in my previous runs. I need to spend 25 more turns on the battlefield and then NS awaits.

Is it just RNG and Spookyraven?

I wonder whether softcore play is just waiting for RNG to roll the right number and leveling up in Spookyraven. Probably not, but I am too lazy to push ML too high. Not that the fights would be too hard, but the accessory slots are limited.

So, I did the LOL quest and took care of the garbage - the castle was pretty long. Then I managed to collect 2 of the 3 staff parts. And then leveled up in attempt to start the island war today, but I wasted my yellow ray elsewhere.

I did not really know what to pull today and I pulled junk. Even some DoD potions (have no boxes).

I am not sure I'll be able to finish tomorrow, playing so lazily. But there is no rush.
