'''Ose, Dreamer in a Drowned City''' is a [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]].

==Ritual, seal and taboo==
Ose's seal must be drawn underwater, and can only be addressed by a submerged character - the water is drained away as part of the ritual. The seal may be drawn and used on dry land in the Lost Cities.

To keep Ose bound, you must not fall into water.

==Mark==
Your gaze carries tangible weight, and its force can be felt from a distance. You can hide this effect by [[blind]]ing yourself or wearing a [[metallic]] [[helm]] that is not a [[helm of telepathy]]. For all characters except [[Wizards]] and [[incantifier]]s, a [[cornuthaum]] will work as well.

==Benefits==
While bound, Ose confers [[Death resistance|immunity to death effects]] and grants skill in [[trident]]s.

Ose's active powers are as follows:

* '''Querient Thoughts''': You release a blast of psychic static that damages all [[telepathic]] monsters on the level, and can also damage non-telepathic monsters with a {{frac|5}} chance of occurring for each monster.
* '''Great Leap''': You [[level teleport]] at the cost of 625 [[nutrition]].

Ose's passive powers are as follows:

* '''Plain Leap''': You can [[jump]].
* '''Maddening Thoughts''': You gain a bonus to certain weapons based on your [[insight]], as if you were a [[Madman]].
* '''Opened Mind''': You cast spells using your [[Charisma]] score.

In notdNetHack, '''Ose''', {{brightblue|@}}, also appears as a [[monster]] that can be summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]]. Ose is a [[neutral]] [[Human (monster attribute)|human]] that is [[amphibious]], [[unbreathing]], [[strong]], and is an [[overlord]] to her kind; she can [[see invisible]], is capable of [[flight]], will pick up and collect items, and can [[follow]] you to other levels if she is adjacent to you.

Ose has a weapon attack, a [[sleep]]-inducing [[breath]] attack and a claw attack that can splash targets with [[Lethe water]], and possesses [[fire resistance]], [[poison resistance]] and [[stoning resistance]]. She cannot be tamed.

===Generation===
Ose is first generated when summoned from her seal by an Illithanachronounbinder. She is always created hostile, and is not a valid form for normal [[polymorph]].

Ose is generated with a +9 [[Object properties#dNetHack|misty]] [[mithril]] [[trident]], [[high-elven gauntlets]], [[high-elven plate]], a [[high-elven helm]], and a [[shield of reflection]].

Ose [[Corpseless|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.

===Strategy===
'''Below this point, there are major spoilers for the Illithanachronounbinder role.''' They can be accessed by selecting the "Role spoiler" tab.
<simpletabs>
Strategy|
Ose's natural 14 points of [[AC]] (or -4) is further bolstered by the high-elven armor she wears, and the [[reflection]] from her shield makes several types of [[ray]] attacks ineffective. She can also move at 15 [[speed]] and has the maximum [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 100.
|-|
Role spoiler|
If Ose is killed after being summoned, he can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. Ose is placed randomly along with many other spirits of the near void on the second floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes him [[nonliving]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Long, long ago, before your ancestors had discovered flint or fire or songs, my people were already climbing the great heights of civilization. Settling on an island in the midst of the lonely seas, we raised a great city to the stars.

...But Time sweeps away all things, and that shining city has long since drowned beneath the uncaring ocean.
