EDIT: I accidentally replaced the contents of this post instead of making an new one, oh well. The gist of it is that I started very late and turned back the system clock. DE fighter, not bad, but not great either. Did Terinyo quests (chose yrrigs), went to CoC, and didn't quite make it to dwarftown.


I tried to find it before it happened, but some poor monster got transformed into a WMoPC.

However, I had suspected I had a cloak of invisibility (worn), I should have remembered that and been saved.

The gory details:

Hi-yaaah.

Recap: Not enough system privelegies to set back system clock, so I went for a doomed char instead. Hope this qualifies.

Drakeling Mindcrafter rolled.
This was a great char for this challenge. Got safely to tery, and bought 4 large rations. Carpenter quest. Got ambushed by orcs next move, and managed to confuse-spit them all to death. level 4. Good toughness on this char. Went to Lawi, got pickpocket and saw store and killed assassins and muggers. Out of food. Went to VD, got to level 6 pretty fast, saved carpenter, and decided to get healers reward.

Had to stairjump in ID a bit after I dusted all my equipped items (sacced a creature on N altar, forgot my god was pissed) for food and basic items. Sacced some more, but god is still mad. Went to CoC, got lizards, went down to big room, stabilized morgia/moss and a spense/? patch. However monster generation and monster danger level made me retreat. Currently heading back to Lawin to buy detect traps, then gonna convert to Lawful (altar in CoC) and make god pleased enough to become +lucky. Next plan is to get the ankh and the mummy wrappings.

Thoughts:
Having a lot of problems keeping PV up, have had to ditch 3-4 body armors already. On the bright side, PV doesn't seem to matter much as every monster seems to punch through armor anyway. In the DV vs. PV debate I've always been extremely pro-PV, but now I'm thinking DV all the way.

UPDATE:

Got detect traps, got +lucky after converting to L. Tried the pyramid, but had to turn back. Jackal summoning was bad, and other monsters (greater mummy) were very tough and needed a lot of spitting. So no dice. Tried graveyard, got para'd by ghul and killed.

RIP.

P.S. Dooming sucks.

[Maul]

Female gnome monk, Falcon. 3 starting talents, so decided to get the Heir gift for kicks. (4/1 clean robe with stun resist) I also started with 20 gold pieces for some reason. Remember, I'm a monk, so that's 20 too many. Anyone know the explanation? Maybe it's in the heir package? <.<

I go to Lawenilotehl to get my first kill (bandit) and then barely escape from 2 cutpurses. Against my better judgement I go into the SMC. After finding a 3/3 medium shield I descend, but am followed by 2 orcs. Since unarmed sucks without a shield (and I get wounded hard trying) I run around (not away since the door is locked and may be trapped) until I get an orcish knife. I stab one, who drops a corpse. The other steps on the corpse, becomes enraged and kills me instantly (from 3 HP). That was my great Friday the 13th adventure!
