In the centre of the arena stand four combatants, their features barely discernable through the layers of dried blood coating their skin. It is clear from the numerous corpses littering the floor that it is not their own blood they are bathed in. It is clear from the terrible looks in their eyes that it will not be the last blood to be spilled. They glare at each other like caged lions, hungry to rip their opponents to shreds. In each is a surety that they are the strongest, they are superior, that only they shall claim victory in these terrible duels. And yet the arena floor is littered with the mangled body parts of many who thought likewise...
The Arena Grandmaster looks down with a wry smile. "I see we have sorted the snakes from the worms! Each of you has tasted blood, but none of you is truly sated. The most difficult fights are those that come last, and you will know now the true horror of your fellow man's soul, and the true disgust of what you yourself are capable of... The black winds of chaos blow strong amongst you all, and the very darkest of treacheries shall soon be unleashed. How hungrily we await the spilling of your blood! Let the final duels begin!!"

Can't really record videos at job, so will have to write by hand...
ID1-2 very boring also took about 70 turns to go through...
ID3- had to cut through mixed tension which took some time and gave some levels [character is lv6 by now - took Quick and Very quick -- officially complains on Darren wasting first talent on purpose -- who the hell needs long stride on raven born?].
While clearing tension room got wand. Apparently trap creation, used some charges [2] to help clear it and one more for corruption trap. Have no touched wand after corruptions kicked in case you are interested.
Well, luckily astral planes did not bothered trap activation [I do recommend checking up corruption section] too much so i managed to descend in time [barely].
I also sorted stuff a bit Was not that bad as meh suggested Left you one arrow in weapon slot... Legolass style, ye know:
I also eat a tiny bit of food since i do not like starvation games.
PS: picked +1To somewhere.

So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
Ok here we are!
no time for changing the name of the pg, i u want to do it...
I1 learn burning hands and magic missile, learn lighting bolt (low on Le), , found a wooden shield kill some stuff, found a warhammer (cursed naturally), get two level (concentr, and healing) and good lerner talents
I2 safe room, learn all the spells an found a heavy tome (magick lock), a tension room with mixed gobbo's with a golden potion and a book of... a book of... a book of... (just to create some tension) teleportation! enjoy
so this character seems too strong, probably a very deep diver, not so good for a challenge.
i eat some kobold flesh (to train st obviously) and descend the stairs, rest some turn just to reach the tousand (so we are sick but satiated, with 5 HP and teleport avaiable.. not too bad i hope)
if u want to find some blink dog.... i will apreciate
I4: applied fletchery to create ~20 arrows, armed up and went exploring. found and equipped +1 metal cap, teleportitis was a bitch, so descended at ~400 turns
I5: killed mobs, hit level 7, descended deeper
I6: went straight to the staircase
I7: same routine, upon entering I8 i decided to leave you with a single-charged fletchery set, and 3 badly crafted arrows
char just entered I8 and is currently in a dark room
your move..
Honestly i hoped to distract you with ammo issue enough not to notice acid spit
Had some entertainment with lightning lizard. Luckily i dodged more his bolts than he mine spits. I kep descending as there is really no much point in sticking arround. Kept myself conservative [mean not moving if no enemies or stairs nearby] and enjoyed tp ride...
Well, i did quite a bit of that last year. Which i liked very much Except result but still.
Navigated through vapor rat room on I15... On I16 RNG sent kobold and i took her gift in arrows.
Well, i run from tough guys as much as i could and kept swording weakling to have food for cases i could not run...
Run out of turns on i18...
They called that semi and i had to wait for two weaks? Such a disapointment. No i need wait for laggers to finish other semi

Let's see... so I've got a wizard with great spells, who is sick, bloated and strained with 5 HP. Sounds like fun. I used a scroll of identify on our potions, and, lo and behold... a potion of healing! Drank that, sickness gone. We have really fantastic stuff... pretty much all we might need to take this PC as deep as we want, minus the shitty Le stat. I'll have to make things more interesting than that...
1078: Healed up in our little room.
1097: Found stairs in a dark room. Equipped a torch.
1112: Stone blocked down to 5 HP! Cooked some corpses while we healed.
1238: Killed ghost bat + skeleton. Advanced to level 6. Pushed concentration to 100. Took hardy as talent.
1284: Found holy symbol... I'll keep it for now, but don't expect to see it on your turn.
1422: Explored most of the level except two locked doors. Fought jackalwere and friends.
1458: Killed corpse fiend, advanced to level 7. Took cooking, ventriloquism 2x. Got +1 Ma
1546: Descended to I:4.
1557: Found stairs down.
1808: Explored level. Killed a few things. Nothing to see.
1818: Abandonned our holy symbol. Descended to I:5.
1847: Ate ankheg, got acid resist. There is a tension room on the level.
1854: This looks like a good place to stop. I'll wait out the rest of my turn here.
Now then. This PC is just too strong. In fact, he's so strong that I'd wager even if he were doomed, he'd still probably be easier than an average ID dive PC. Well, for me at least
Prayed. Got some PP.
Prayed. Ground rumbled.
Prayed. I'm a nuisance.
Prayed. All of our equipment is cursed.
Prayed. Our warhammer, vibrating ring, and one torch are dusted.
Prayed. We're doomed.
Prayed again, just for kicks.
1879: I used magic lock on the two doors leading out of the room we're in.
1999: Cooked a jackal corpse.
2000: Drank our potion of booze. You're blinded. Have fun.
