    Got the Death Blade from precrown (sacced most of the PC vault)... I sorta wanted to quit, but afterall it has decent damage output and defence can be covered by confusion and mental shield. (well, again one can milk orcish spears, but not the plate armours)

    Between RNG ( neutralogre magus miulling around stairs) and altar being chaotic I doubt I am going for second precrown, although I can potentially can drag lot of monsters from PC5...

    Overall, I think funwise this reminds me playing stone soup crawl.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    Is that a compliment?

    Doesn't sound like one!

    Death's Blade is terrible.. just good enough that you can't bring yourself to throw it away after grinding all the piety, but not so good that it actually helps.
    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.

    More like fair comparison. I actually think SCC improved quite a bit lately (I guess they try to be more streamlined and gargoyles are nice class for noobs, like me ), but is still meatgrinder.

    I prefer normal Adom, since where you can coast in some periods. So my current dumb (Le potential is at 12) crafter found large (+5,+4) shield (which combines with +3 prot ring he started with) in SMC so I think I play this one, but overall approach is probably to quit early and often.

    I think beteween mindcraft, spit and guaranteed stuff, late game won't be problem, ToEF between drake and Raven trident should be doable, so in theory I could just grind out early/early-mid (not sure how I am going to get tp wand to cross the forest).

    You can always just random teleport the VDDL for awhile, long as you have a spare booze.

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents were poor people. They loved you and cared for you,
     although you had to hunger more than once.
            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.
            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.
            Your young adulthood was characterized by hard and long work. You
     had decided to study under a renowned master. To your great disappointment
     you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
     embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
            You decided to become a Mindcrafter.

    You played for 1 hour, 3 minutes and 59 seconds.
    I think keeping this time at least for checking how further game looks on (the one with large shield got PV blown by rune trap)
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!

    After my previous gnome barb died during the consumption of jelly cube corpse (suddenly! monster from around the corner) with some luck i managed to do 4 Thrundarr quests. Now i need to somehow get wand of tp, as without it searching for UD entrance or clearing DF is too risky. Then there's also the question of getting blanket or ring of ice, and i don't really see killing ice queen as a possible solution. Video if anyone is interested.

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your father was an accomplished hunter and warrior. You were
     well-respected and comparatively wealthy.
            As a child you were very active and imitated the hunters and
     warriors of your tribe at all opportunities.
            During your youth you traveled to nearby tribes and traded with
     them. You met many strangers and learned a lot about the outside world.
            As a young adult your family was killed in a raid. You became
     embittered and filled with the desire for revenge.
            At the age of 103 you left your tribe.

    Wow, how did you find all those items.

    A few more booze for wand and you could do pyramid, grind thief town?
    That would also unlock doing nonnak for gaunts.

    Almost all potions are from potion shop and other shops, all mithril and higher equipment (except from 2hander(heir gift) and armor(lucky find) ) and ring of !Fire are given by Thrundarr. I expected to get a backup armor, but mithril chain mail from Thrundarr quest was extra-heavy <> of hunger.
    Pyramid already done.
    The one real lucky find was helm of teleportation in DT shop.

    Good job. Mybe I won't need to do this myself... I've checked uploads and it shows 12+ hours for 500Mb, might need to get closer to civilized places.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)
