In this episode of Mini Rogue nothing goes as planned. Mini Rogue is a Solo or Coop Dungeon Crawler by Paolo di Stefano and Gabriel Gendron: www.nutspublis...
Very nice playthrough, as usual, but... those rolls! (especially the repeated X's) Have you taken your dice to the auto shop lately? Have you changed their oil, filters, tires and batteries? I also think I saw the Check Engine light on at least three of them. :)) I have had the same experience with the Priestess - infuriating, but... it's not the fault of the game. It's called Mini Rogue, after all. My opinion: skipping the three gold from the hermit was fatal - I would have used that option, as there was no better one. But, it's your game and I like how you take risks in this "really-push-your-luck" game. Otherwise, I would have played (and died) almost the same as you. Also, abusing the Witch's unholy ritual like that! :) I was amazed you had made it that far into the dungeon. Getting to Level 3 before the second boss is really nice, but the cost is usually too high. A last thing: I have just discovered this PnP, OSR, rules-light RPG called Caves & Catacombs (+Encounters [enemies] and Into the Wild [hexcrawl] supplements), quite similar to NoteQuest, but with a more serious note. It still needs some work, but the author is actively improving the game, talking to people and answering questions.
Yeah, I tend to ignore hermit options, because usually I really don't want to lose xp or food. But in this case it might have made a difference. I took a very conservative approach with the ritual for the next try (today's video). Oh, and I also switched dice :D
