Slave

Useful Info

The unique big kobold Pikel is accompanied by several human slaves that give no experience, items, or corpses when killed.

Tips & Tricks

• Check out Pikel's page for tips.
• Slaves can be dangerous for a low-level character. In general, try not to let them come at you in a mob; they're pretty strong even individually. If you can get Pikel away from his slaves, he's much easier to kill.
  • Fortunately, Pikel will move past his slaves to attack you, so if you can just lure the lot into a corridor, isolating Pikel will be relatively simple.
• After they become neutral, they will fight any hostile monsters they encounter, whether or not you are present. You will not get experience for their kills. This can be a problem when you wanted corpses or experience, as the full set can clear out most of the level for you.
  • Of course, the amount of experience provided by a single floor in the early Dungeon is fairly insignificant in the long run, so it's probably not worth worrying about.

History

• Pikel's slaves were replaced with lemures in 0.26.
• Prior to 0.24, dead slaves would drop corpses, animal skins, and experience.
