The Law skill is bugged in its reports of eating human corpses. No alignment change takes place.

Quick question. This character is still going strong and was just told "to satisfy the mutated one". Does that mean that after I go give all of my ratling fodder to the Demented Ratling I can go ahead with getting crowned? The only alignment affecting thing that I would have left would be to get the farmer corpse, and I don't imagine it will be too bad as long as I'm careful.
Btw, good ratling fodder?
Crystal Phial, Crown of Science (might retain for tower and need to replace, still need intrinsic fire resistance), Ancient Scythe, Big Punch, Black torc, Rolf's Axe
EDIT: Went through with it, hostiled Dwarftown (I accidently made my storage place unsafe, so I had to go on a killing spree to find my fodder + my 7 SoCR's.
Another Question: can you wish for a Boar Skull? If so, I may do that if I don't find one right away in the wilderness, although I'm at about day 30 so I've still got a good 30 days to find one...

You need to be chaotic to do the first (maybe all of them, I don't remember) Gaab's quest.
You probably prefer to be neutral when you talk to the Dwarven Mystic to maybe get the SoCR. Then you don't get the Rolf's Axe and you probably have to choose one of the ankh, the Nonnak's sword and the RoTHK. I'd vote for Nonnak's sword, unless you are a wizard and you need it for willpower.

Yeah, I was Lawful at the time. I figured that with the early onset double pairs of 7LB's I'd be fine on corruption removal, and would just stop by the bug temple at end-game if I need more. I've got all the guaranteed one's so far except the library atm. So Rolf's Axe went down the tube. Sadly, Thrundaar did not give me the Shield to go with the axe. On the topic of Nonnak, I am a Wizard and highly trained in swords (found a mithril broadsword of devastation) so I didn't want to toss that, and extra sources of death ray resistance are always welcome.
Referencing the previous, any wishing advice for an Ultra hopeful that does not need any of the Gaab'baay items but the boar skull? I'm probably going to store it in the meantime, and maybe use it lategame for speed.
EDIT: After about 5-6 days of hunting, managed to get the boar skull and the follow-up farmer corpse, so the medal of chaos is all mine. Awesome. Now I've got like 3 ingame weeks to get everything I can get done done before I can go to the Stone Circle on day 60. Good times.
EDIT 2: Used the wish for the AKW. Didn't want to deal with not quite being lvl 42 when it came time to start the rest of the quests for the Trident of the Red Rooster. Got me from lv 20-22 (can't remember) to lv 33. Very nice.

Bumping this up to the top for a question. I just received the message "You are welcomed by the chilling cold of death" upon alerting an undead tension room to my presence (invisibility + missiles). What the heck does that mean?

That's just one of the messages associated with undead tension rooms. You can also get something about the stench of decay.
Ah, I see. I'm happy to say though my lucky char is still going well... just got the Ring of the Master Cat for the first time ever (all 3 of my previous victories had screw-ups, but this one had Teleportation from the get-go, and Calm Monster shortly afterwards, and I didn't screw up!) and rocked the face of a couple of powerful dragons (wished-for AKW, mama dragon), got a Medal of Chaos, and am descending to take on the rest of the temples before day 60 to get the other chaos item and to start the TotRR part of the quest for an Ultra. The rift was very kind to me, and I wound up with the all of the spell knowledge I will ever need. It's funny... while I haven't had the artifact luck my first win had (Purifier/Serpent's Bite/Executor + Robes of Resistance/Ring of Immunity/Bracers of War... yeah, and I never used the slayers either, stuck with Rolf's Axe...how silly was I back then? And on a Wizard, overkill much?) I for some reason feel that this character is more powerful. Maybe it's just optimism, but by this time Monday I'm crossing my fingers for my first Ultra.

I have 3 normal wins too and I'm going after my first ultra. I have a gnome wizard who has just obtained the medal of chaos and has all the orbs. I'm already level 50. Now I'm planning to get crowned L+ and I'm not sure what to do next. It's day 80 aprox. On day 90 I will enter the stone circle. I think I should do the assasin's guild and the Filk quest now. What are your current plans?

My current plans? Well, I'm lvl 37 (ish?) thanks to dragonslaying, and was gonna spend a few days ingame diving down to work on the remaining temples followed by the BDC (hoping to get some good artifacts on the way). I've finished everything on the surface but the Assassin's Guild + Scintillating Cave, and the Bug Temple. Saving the bug temple for right before my lategame final dive for extra SoCR's. Already did the rift, and got plenty of spellbooks from the casino, so I have appreciable spell knowledge in almost every spell in the game (Gray Elven Wizard, so sue me ). Otherwise, It's simply dive-dive-dive for the moment.
