    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents belong to the nobility. They are rich, respected,
     wealthy and own more than they can count.
            As a child your parents cared a lot for you. Despite all
     circumstances you enjoyed a happy and fine childhood.
            During your youth you had a lot of fun playing with other kids of
     your age. You always were a natural leader and the center of interest.
            As a young adult you tried many occupations before finally deciding
     on one to pursue. This has left you with a very broad base of lore.
            You decided to become a Healer.

    Well, I had quite a lot of fun with this character. Started off more or less normal; ran to SMC to find supplies, decided to do puppy quest first and took a few steps on PC:6 when I got told that something killed it offscreen. Frustrating, but I took it in stride. I did the healer quest (which, as you might realise if you look at my equipped items, paid off in the very long run), then the usual dive through UD to HMV and back out. Went to CoC, converted a neutral altar to lawful, and got precrowned with Serpent's Bite, which never did stop being useful. Did Thrundarr's quests (sold Big Punch to buy Preserver from Waldie), went down CoC to wall of flames (found scorched spear in a threat room at some point here), and finally found a wand of cold, a few levels before hitting the wall. Got crowned with Shirt of the Saints -- already had the eternium plate by then, so I left it in the Ogre Cave. I did TotHK with it, which had some close calls with a dark sage summoning cats (Calm Monster, which I got from a spellbook before I got the Healer castings, helped out hugely here and elsewhere). Did Darkforge, where I got that mithril scalpel of penetration and nothing else useful. ToEF was fairly painless (I was worried since I thought I didn't have intrinsic -Fire, but it turned out I did). I prayed for health versus the ACW, but it wasn't all that close a call. Then I began the long dive: ignored Casino totally, got the cat ring for the first time (have met the cat lord twice before, first time died to him and the second managed to escape), did a GGV that got me ~oW and Far Slayer, steamrolled Air (except for some item destruction) by luring the Master Summoner to teleport near me, then hitting him a lot of times, smashed Earth (scalpel was super useful here), did another GGV with Archmagi and Thunderstroke, did the same strategy with Mana as Air (the only scary thing was the item destruction from ceiling traps).

    I gathered my resources for the final dive, reached D:48, and tried dropping all the orbs on their corresponding anomalies. When that didn't work, I consulted the IGB, as usual :P. Went down into D:49, got Perion from a potion of uselessness, and descended to D:50 (without realising you can dig on D:49...).

    D:50 contained a special surprise, as you can see. I never intended to get it, but I suppose I'm a roleplayer at heart, and was always too scared that I'd become a fallen champion to ever do anything chaotic. I felt like I was hardly hurting any of the chaos monsters in the initial D:50 party, until the folks on #adom told me that 119 DV was more than enough . I had been on Defensive for a very long time, but now I switched to Berserk (which gave me 61/61 defenses, IIRC). That let me cut through the hordes of ChAoS much faster. I had no wand of destruction, so I went with the Guidebook's wand of door creation idea, until I realised that what I had thought was a wand of monster creation was a wand of monster detection. So I had to kill all the balors to win. They didn't put up much resistance, with both of my weapons doing huge damage to them (the scalpel had something like a 50% chance of crit, looking back now, based on the IGB's numbers). Fisty I kited around with Far Slayer; the +Tele corruption helped here. I closed the levers for good, said goodbye to D:50, and went back up.

    At which point I ran into a problem. I wanted to get all my corruptions cured, but doing so required attacking a non-hostile monster, which would cause me to die. So I fetched the scroll of familiar summoning Thrundarr had given me ages ago, went to SMC, got a WMoPC, and ordered it to attack the black unicorn. Apparently attacking it is chaotic, but ordering your pet incarnation of chaos to do so isn't :P.

    EDIT:
    Yeah, the platinum girdle was totally unexpected. I hadn't really read up on it, so I assumed there was some special side quest you had to do in addition to the requirements themselves. I especially like the message that you get when it's given to you (your god tells you that as another reward for your lawfulness, you will be allowed to fight all of D:50 all by yourself :P).

    That's honestly one of the best [if not the best] artifact lineups I ever seen on a character. And I had truly some Christmas Tree-like ones. Congrats.

    What is the ultimate artifact lineup, anyway? I have always hoped for the following combination to magically manifest itself for one of my duelists:

    Havlor/Preserver/Nature's Companion/True Strength/Oman/Executor/RoI/RotMC/BoW/Montojja
