    Default Elitist Assassin

    As promised i will try elitist assassin challenge [not putting anything non artifact on] in upcoming year


    Well, summarization of ideas:

    Race - easiest would be drake, but spitting is for cheatos not elitists. So human
    Talents:
    not sure I can go brawler, than towards natural berserker to help with early game, for speed or for PV. Currently i think long stride+PV is best bet.
    Month - candle, plan obtaining torc surely [missile slot]
    Overall plan:
    generate SMC, jump in Id to level 11 find altar and make some fast precrowns.

    Early problems - ghuls, mimics and a like are rather deadly. Need to find some offensive wand and keep it charged.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    > jump in Id to level 11

    Do you mean the ID? How are you going to generate the piety for multiple precrowns?
    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.

    Early game non-equipment PV is priceless if you are going to wear no
    regular armor. All non-troll assasins start with To: < 20, so starting PV
    will be zero. I say chose dwarf for mithril skin. Also, maybe chose tree
    star sign for the +Wi: boost. Should be enough to qualify for immune
    to pain.
    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

    Hang on, this means naked, with no missiles until the torc and no weapons until precrown? You're just going to punch people in the face and run away a lot until you have some piety? Sounds tricky Good luck Soirana. Talent PV certainly sounds worth investigating...

    Default part one: let's get started

    Code:
    -Willcomen, to our valley of dang... Miss, what are you doing?
    -I have enough dirt from fighting all these sucky monsters,
     so i am not planning to wear your
    sucky non personally designed armor or ran around with stupid looking sword.
    -But, miss...
    -And pick all that stuff as you follow me, we might sell these somewhere
    Well, well, after all stupid adventurers i tried to lead to success
     this case might be hardest.
    So the story of Kiku naked [so far] assassin got started. Despite lack of stuff she showed quite capable - first level greeted as with tension room of rats which gave at least four extra levels.

    Code:
                Background Information
    
    Name: Kiku                Race: female Human        Class: Assassin
    Eye color: brown          Hair color: black         Complexion: tanned
    Height: 5'6"              Weight: 127 pounds
    Age: 26 (grown-up)
    Star sign: Candle         Birthday: 28/Candle (day 298 of the year)
    
    HISTORY:
            Her parents are travelling adventurers, doing moderately
     well  on they quest to search for antique artifacts.
            In her childhood Kiku was fascinated by her parents collection and the
     everchanging wonders of the world.  She was a very curious and adventurous
     child. 
            During her youth Kiku was very lazy. She slept a lot and didn't
     care too much for most duties and tasks. Her parents were not very happy
     with her fascination in poisons and bare handed combat. Or should i say 
     suspicious deaths and clear slaughterhood?
            As a young adult she spent a lot of time searching for a deeper
     meaning and purpose in the life. She pondered and pondered but nothing
     truly sparked her dark interest. Finally, after many many hours, she made a
     decision - to become an Assassin and stay pure from non
     artifact weapons and armour.
        It did not sounded bad except she had no artifacts at all...
    
    Here is a little picture from days before she choose her path
    http://magiccards.info/scans/en/chk/121.jpg
    As some expect i lead her to infinite dungeon to learn an ancient art of stair hopping. Some hops were good, some not but we lived and learned....

    Code:
    -Miss, you should line up monster and locked door in one line while...
    -What the hell for?
    -That maximizes your chances of identifying and...
    -I have better idea...- and she zapped me instead...
    -----------
    -Don't worry spiders cause only mild poisoning
     while having very beneficial effects...
    3 days later Kiku cringing from pain:
    -And you call that poison resistance?
    Managed not to get poison resistance from first spider, picked sickness from rats at some point... Got good collection of wands which solved quite a few situations.

    546 monsters perished under her attacks.
    
    
    She survived for 0 years, 17 days, 12 hours, 53 minutes and 27 seconds
    (11202 turns).
    Kiku visited 6 places.
    Her strength score was modified by -1 during her career.
    Her learning score was modified by +1 during her career.
    Her perception score was modified by +14 during her career.
    At the end of first week we went to visit old barbarian, Kiku talked him into escorting us home, but we lost his track in the ambush of undeads in nearby swamps, hopefully we will meet again as Kiku is very eager for his quest to kill more giant rants...


    Okay, leveling mostly done, some ghul insurance obtained. Time to search for altar.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!

    still need altar which depends on how deep it is generated -- shallow precrown, deep create some holy water for blessing booze and get torc.

    There is ofcourse chance it is one of these games with only one early alatr in dwarftown.

    Will see.

    You're using wands, potions, and scrolls?

    Where's the fun in that?
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
