    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents belong to the nobility. They are rich, respected,
     wealthy and own more than they can count.
            During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
     about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
     the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of
     all the exciting stories you knew.
            As a youth you spent a lot of time in the wilds exploring woods and
     generally enjoying your freedom. You had a lot of fun and learned to value
     the treasures of nature.
            As a young adult you tried many occupations before finally deciding
     on one to pursue. This has left you with a very broad base of lore.
            You decided to become a Paladin.

    Now I'm down to level 565. Diving this deep is both exciting and tedious. It's exciting because with every step I don't know if I'm about to be in great danger. But tedious, because time and time again I have to lock myself in a room somewhere and regenerate hundreds of hit points. (Otherwise I would have died a long time ago.) And the temptation is just to hold down the '5' key, but I never know when something is going to teleport in or come through the wall. That's how it goes. In other news, I just reached Grand Mastery in polemarms, which I never did before.

    You could be the first player to make it to I666 or I696 (anyone played T-O-M-E and gone to the Nether Realm at dungeon levels 666-696?)

    I think others may have made it deeper by prepping for such a deep dive. This is just remarkable because it is being done with just a regular gate closer.
    I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut

    My memory is that the record is something ridiculous like I:10000+. An immortal necromancer with a wish engine at his disposal should be able to go as deep as he wants very quickly. Just wish for scrolls of magic map, holy water, spellbooks of teleport, and SoCR as necessary.

    [edit]I love that you're still using an orcish spear of devastation at this point. Very epic.

    It's funny. My orcish spear of devastation was one of the first weapons I found with this character, and I've been using it almost exclusively ever since. I've gotten some nice artifact weapons, but none of the really good one-handers. So I've stuck with Protector and my trusty spear. It's true that I'm a dwarf, and I hate everything that has to do with those disgusting orcs... but I have to admit they know how to make a good spear.

    Now I'm on level 605, and this dive is going to be over soon. I was lucky enough to find another spellbook of Ethereal Bridge, but I've already burned through most of those castings. At this point I usually have to teleport at least five or six times just to find the stairs on a level. I nearly died a few levels ago when I made a dash for the stairs and a werewolf king stepped out from behind a corner and summoned a bunch of lords. They did more than 600 hit points of combined damage in the very next turn. I knew that if I teleported out of there, they'd summon werewolves and so on, and the room would be so clogged that I'd probably never get back in alive. So I prayed, started teleporting the werewolf lords out of there, prayed again, and went down the stairs with two of them still on me. And I managed to kill those two down on the next level because there wasn't anything nasty waiting for me. But now I'm out of prayers. It'll be interesting to see how this ends.

    I'm trying that too. Copycat i am.... but whao, im amazed that you managed to make it at uch a level....

    thigns found out....
    -Karmyc dragons aren't rare. Especially great karmic ones. The value of scrolls of luck
    -Kicking walls power is awesome. I ca therefore save my wands of digging for desperate situations, such as that werewolf king tension room.
    -Displacing oponents is awesome.
    -Slaying humanoids instantly is awesome (greater molochs)
    -High level thingies don't tend to become ridiculously powerful YET
    -Found first Ki-rin. come on. That's just... lame. LAME. lame monster. 2 hits.
    -Bullet time is awesome.
    Haven't won with : Druid, Priest, Elementalist, Weaponsmith, Ranger, Merchants, farmers, Necromancer,Thief
    Currently trying : Entertaining girlfriend. Very, Very, VERY hard.

    Just a silly online game

    you do know that if you hit "w" and then "5" itll wait several turns for you and itll automatically stop if a beastie tries to sneak up on you.

    w5? I had an idea that this option existed, but I never bothered to get in the habit of using it. I've never played a character who needed to do so much waiting before. For that matter, there are a lot of useful shortcuts I've never bothered to learn.

    Well, Thalberg the dwarven paladin has died on level 622. It was one of those classic moments. I was getting swarmed and getting my ass kicked. I started flailing around desperately, including using up my final casting of Divine Wrath. Then I tried to teleport out of there.

    And thus I found out why it pays to quick-mark your spells. I had been teleporting so much lately that it was pure habit to go through the keystrokes to cast the spell. I didn't think about it at all. But since Divine Wrath was gone, the slot that used to be Ethereal Bridge was now... Greater Divine Touch. I death rayed myself.

    After I got over my "Doh!" reaction, I thought it was actually kind of epic. It's like I realized I couldn't win, and so, to deny my enemies the honor of taking my life, I defiantly committed suicide right in their faces. At least, I hope that's the story the minstrels will sing about me. Only you guys know the embarrassing truth.
