lb_lee | Hack103: ddNd

Mori: so, I’m playing Hack, a weakass lady Knight, and I have accidentally become Queen of the Puppies.

I found myself early on in a ghost level (Rawlin’s). I swiped my dead girlfriend’s food (she had basically nothing else) and learned that (A) there was an invisible stalker, which NO THANK YOU on level 4, and (B) she had two dogs. I fed them, and they just keep following me, so now I have three dogs: Friendly (large), Fido (medium), and Tiny (little).

Mostly, they were helping me run crowd control, except then a nymph appeared... and woke up. OOPS NO THANK YOU MISS, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU MISS, GOODBYE MISS.

And then I learned a fringe benefit of being the Puppy Queen: my dogs made an impenetrable wall of dogflesh between me and that nymph. She kept trying to get to me, and my very good dogs kept putting themselves in between us, so she couldn’t seduce me and swipe all my ill-gotten gains. (Only Friendly dared take swipes at her, but still, that’s more than I’m willing to try on a nymph. They ain’t worth the trouble, man.)

I escaped to level 7 and I STILL have the whole trio. I don’t know how long this will last, but it’ll be interesting doing a Puppy Queen run! Never tried that before! (It’s a gameplay style we only discovered after leaving the family.)

Does this make me Joan d’Awg?

EDIT: different nymph stole all my armor. Went back and grabbed other armor. That got destroyed by a damn scroll, so I went back to get EVEN MORE replacement armor and got cockatriced. RIP Queen of Puppies, may my successor pick up Friendly (who has now outlived two owners).
