Contains spoilers!!
So I come home from work on christmas eve. Decide I'll spend some time playing adom for a change. Roll a hurthling monk since they're so cute and nice. All goes quite well. I get precrowned in UD with staff of the archmage. Could've got something better, but at least it's usefull as a monk, unlike so many other possibilities. I keep playing without any special happening. thundars quests go smoothly, dwarf graveyard and pyramid is a cake and I got some nice herb bushes to farm just below the big room so no need to frustrate myself pacifying it. Quickly get a crowning with stoma and naturally forget to equip the wrapping so the much loved cold immunity thank you very much. I did get the robes of resistance as gift so I'm not too pissed about it.
Then it goes weird. Between farming herbs, eating mint and sniffing some moss I go to dwarftown, identify my stuff, walk to the store and see what I can sell so I won't be burdened... Nothing special.. drop, drop, drop... holy xxx:
A wand of wishing with 5 charges. Never got a wand of wishing before. I'm baffled as to what I should wish for but to start with I get AoLS for khelly, some SLBs (ridiculous when combined with the monk speed, but I'll still leave that quickling queen in the DH alone) and a Girdle of GS (to take care of my constant burden problem; makes hurtling monks somewhat challenging). Then I stash it away with the remaining two charges to the ogre cave.
Well I guess stuff happens and I was bound to find a wand of wishing at some point of my countless adom games. Must be a nice coincidence it's on christmass. Or is it? I resume getting my stats raised when a monster drops a spellbook. I have decent learning thanks to garth and good mana thanks to the staff. I've also raised my literacy and concentration so I figure I'll read it while the herbs grow back. It's just that I never manage to finish reading it, cause random monsters come and disturb me all the time. It's only when I go to starving after just eating a blessed stoma while reading it (being unencumbered and a monk), I suddenly realize what it is. Another one I've never found before. Of course I have no need for it exept to sell it for 78k gold
Must be christmas time. I saved and went to bed thanking the Creator for the nice unexpected christmass presents
Now I'll continue playing. Since I've only finished the game once I'd like to ask some advice on what to use the remaining two wishes. Clearly you can see I'm not going for an ultra ending. I was thinking about rings of ice to help me cope with ToEF but I don't think I absolutely need them since I got the robes. They would be nice in the forge too so I could take my Girdle with me there. Perhaps another AoLS for my own use to save me from that YASD post? Rings/amulets of teleport control (no blink dogs yet)? Previous and Books of Teleport (do I even have a chance of reading them succesfully with a monk (lvl: 16, Le:19, Ma:23, reading and concentration 100 on next level if I so choose)? Rings of invisibility (this is actually a top contender now that I think about it; would help in ToEF and be usefull 'till the end)?
There must be something very uber I could wish for that I just can't think of (phase daggers and emperor moloch to level up quickly is not an option since it would almost definately lead to YASD either by the molochs or afterwards when I feel invincible and do something recless).
