YOUR HISTORY:
        Your parents are travelling adventurers. Both are competent,
 talented and doing very well.
        As a child you had to survive pretty harsh times since your parents
 seemed to have run out of luck. Their wealth was ever-declining and times
 were very hard.
        In your youth you worked a lot to become rich and famous later.
 Consequently you rarely had enough time to play with other kids of your
 age.
        As a young adult you were a credit to your family. Your parents
 supported your plans and were very understanding. They tried to help you
 along your way with all means at their disposal.
        You decided to become a Healer.

Talents: Long Stride

[JellySlayer]

Awesome PC... Fast healing + high speed + food preservation + swimming + drakeling spit.

Some strategy thoughts:

-Probably best to true berserk until we find some real armor. We should be able to take out most monsters early on with it pretty easily--just watch out for ghuls, mimics, brown worms.
-Getting food preservation to 60/90 gives double/triple corpse generation respectively and should keep us in business for food, esp. if we have to do a lot of spitting. Below these thresholds, it's pretty useless. Easily trained by carrying around corpses.
-Getting healing to 100 is obviously pretty desirable, and fairly easy with this PC.
-Don't forget about the healing potions we have.
-Stethoscope can be used on doors to detect tension rooms ("You hear lots of sounds") and secret doors ("Sounds hollow" IIRC) at no turn cost
-Talent line is interesting choice. Personal recommendation is PV line--with 22 To/18 Wi, we get can all the way up to steel skin/immune to pain. This is a bit slow progression though (Hardy (3), Tough skin (6), Iron skin (9), Steel skin (12), ITP (15)), but 5 PV is nontrivial. Missile line is another alternative. I'd skip speed line, since we have Raven + long stride already.
-Don't descend too quickly if you can help it

[Grey]

Sulangatori has messaged me to say he has his thesis due in tomorrow night, so I've bumped him to the back of the play order. CConner187, please take over the first turn.

[CConner187]

here he is... all safe and sound.... took JS's advice and just went true berserk... i woulda rather used the flail but i tried on the broadsword and was clearly cursed. he/she levels super quick. i got poisoned at the end by an imp but your near full health so good luck... gotta love being able to spit. hope i didnt start to early.

CConner, when you make a list, you should put [ code ]stuff[ /code ] tags around it (without the spaces). That way it will look like this

And will have a scrollbar (screenshot will also look normal).

Summary of my turn:

-Descended twice. We're on I:5
-Levelled twice. We're level 9. Added Tough skin to our current talent base (Good learner, hardy, long stride)
-Got rid of our cursed broadsword, using the flail now
-Found uncursed vibrating and iron rings, various miscellaneous items
-Milked a wererat for experience for a bit, but ended up getting sick twice (ugh). We're down two regular healing potions.
-We're on the stairs of an explored level.
