Bruh, that'd be the end of my run right there. This character charmed a big kitty cat to become their companion, then abused the animal's trust by slurping up its life force to the point of death?? That character's thirst is not mine, and we are DEFINITELY not water-siblings lol

Oh wow, I just started playing this. What a gem.
I just died for the first time with my gunslinger character at level 5 at red rock, newbie times. Still learning!
It took me many hours to get used to the game! It felt almost uncomfortable to play at times, maybe because I didn't utilize autoexplore in my first hours.
Good luck with Red Rock! It is a hard first quest but it teaches very important lessons, especially if you're new to the genre.
Had such an unhealthy obsession with this game at it's release. I was enamoured with it and would love to make some progression on it one day... funny how quickly you go from being sure "this is the run" to dying in that goddamn Rainbow Wood or Moon Stair.
I need to play qud again. I got decently far on a run and stopped playing. It's so hard
Been a while since I last played Qud but almost not a day goes by without me thinking I should play it again.
In roleplay mode though.
I don’t think I’d emotionally survive permadeath 20 hours into a run.
My longest save has 30 hours. Couple of deaths along the way. Nowhere near ready to cross to the eastern half of the map.
How anyone plays it as a classical roguelike is a mystery to me
Kinda sounds like an unintended effect there. But iirc siphon vim is on use and not like damage over time so that seems weird the puma kept dying after beguiling.
Unrelated, you should play a run as an office chair, its fun.

Nah it's DOT:

But it shouldn't last for so many turns! I literally managed to get to Kyakukya before it died.

Dominate is on my list of stuff to try. But at first I want to figure some basic stuff like companions (this run), cooking and tinkering.
Ooh yeah, theres no debuff clear when you beguile something either. Cooking is so important. Carbide chef is no joke so strong.
My current main build has Photosynthetic Skin so I'm basically always under its effect. It's combined with Fasting Way (from Pilgrim start) so I just never run out!
I had some trouble with that title but I got through it after about 3 tries 😆
It will take me many months to complete CoQ in Classic mode - at least that's how long it took me to beat DCSS. I'm not very well-suited to winning roguelikes but I enjoy them nonetheless.
