My best (actually one of the only times I've really spent time there) is something like 1'500... And I died there because of that! How can you kill 4'500 and survive, AJ???

1. Have a tough character to begin with.
2. Breed the gremlins in the dwarven graveyard, so you can retreat and fight them one by one (and so you can teleport away, just in case they get too tough).
3. Have a source of invisibility.
4. Be lucky.

What's the abandonia record for longest stay in the small cave, by the way?  
I got to 10 once or twice, but they were more a frantic attempt to get out than a real push to stay the course.

Probably level 11 or 12 if someone got lucky. I always go in there to get the waterproof blanket, so it's kind of like the gauntlet for new characters - if they survive, they have an excellent chance of making it to the midgame stage. If not... they're dead.

The Small Cave? With GE archer with good load of arrows somewhere like 8 or 9, but with DE elementalist I reached 11 - and withdrew downwards only barely alive. However later he got extremely unlucky: killed by stone trap somewhere in unremarkable dungeon... Never reached level 12.

GE Archer in small cave: 7th level. Everything went excellently, but then some stupid Fire Vortex managed to surprise me when I was falling back somewhat injured. Result: fried dead.

Total spammage, but my warn level is already 100% so I don't care! No, seriously, I encountered WEREWOLF LORD in UD1!!! WTH??? My seventh level elementalist stood no chance, but luckily I was able to run to UD2...

Nice.
I was killed by a werewolf lord high up in the CoC!  
It's a pickle that you don't know how tough something is until it's torn you in half.

Dang. I couldn't find the alternative route, so I had to go through the Dwarven Halls (or whatever they were called...) and so my promising character fell. *snif*

Hmm... Where's the upload option nowadays???

[Juni Ori]

Still can't upload any files...

Anyways, my gnome wizard just roxors!!! Stone Giant Lord scared away, like: "Shoo, big clumsy idiot, I have important business at the store!" Talents, low XP requirements for levels, high mana... What else I might want? Oh, yeah, frozen morning star and crystal shield, but I already got them. Not bad, so far...

Do you mean you can't see the file attachments option, or do you mean you can see it, but the file won't actually upload?

[Juni Ori]

Can't see it at all!

Then it's probably just because you're not Crew anymore.

[Juni Ori]

But haven't non-crew membs uploaded their character files? Anyways, this is not-so-slightly ...

Back to topic: Figurines of wondrous power? Do they summon allies when used? Anyways, I found a shop full of them! Just below Dwarf Town.

They summon a pet if they're blessed, a non-hostile monster if uncursed and a hostile monster if cursed.
