    Default Trollish elementalist - Friday 13th challenge

    I went to Terinyo and took druid and girl quest. I didn`t take Sheriff so I wouldn`t get killed by the raider lord. On my way to small cave I almost got killed by barbarians, but I escaped with only 3HP left. I discovered that I can`t even pray so it will be tougher than I thought.

    Entered the small cave and gained 2 levels there, but as I got "you sense imminent danger" message I got out since I didn`t find stairway to UD. BTW, first kill was a barbarian. I went to the VD and spent some time there gaining level 4. Food is the problem right now, I should go to the arena. But first, I went to puppy cave and on the second level there was ant hive, clear pool and a scroll shop. On PC there was a shitload of herbs, shame I can`t collect them. I made it to PC5, but the monster generation was horrifying (necromancer, blink dogs, worms) so I left. I also put cursed girdle of weight on, but with strength 30 it`s not an issue.

    I made it to D1 and there`s N altar next to the entrance, I think I`ll use it to convert when I gain poison resistance because there`s also a bee hive on the level. On D3 there`s another ant hive, I let them live since I have gemology - I could use some learning later. On D8 I finally killed giant centipede and ate corpse, so now I`m ready to face those bees on D1. But first I`ll go to Dwarftown.

    Made it to dwarftown, now I have to slay a huge bat. I think I saw some in puppy cave, but before that I think I`ll kill Keethrax and Hotz. I identified my stuff and it seems that I have ring of tele control and a wand of monster creation. Scroll shop may generate scroll of danger... God, if I wasn`t troll I`d instantly go for an ultra, now I don`t know what to do. Checked exp. table, I need 40mln xp to get to level 45... I need to think.


    EDIT:
    I entered assassin guild to get the wand, but when I was there i realised that I have no means of mapping...

    I went to PC and took puppy corpse. I met stone golem in the vault and tried to schorch it, but it managed to bring me to 20 HP, so I was very careful from now on. I cleared the vault but I found nothing usuful except for some gold. There was no huge bat either.

    I entered to VD but came back because a river drenched almost any of my scrolls and rusted my weapons. Now when I think of that it was extremely stupid :/

    Now I headed for Lawelala and killed Hotz, bought some scrolls of identify in PC scroll shop and received amulet of order from the sheriff. I went back to Laweeeee and killed Yergius since I can`t pickpocket anyway. No I can at least buy some stuff from the shop because the prices are now pretty reasonable.

    I took old barbarian`s quest and proceeded to Dwarftown to gain some xp and get precrown eventually. I think I`ll go for that ultra and I`m gonna need some spare artifacts.

    I finally manged to get blink dog corpse, I also found wand shop in D6. I bought wand of tele, and there is also wand of monster creation and wand of paralyzation waiting for me.

    Now I have a dilemma - should I get scrolls of chaos resistance from the mystic or maybe wear AoO for a while and get an axe? Axe would probably result in getting shield I could use instead of my crystal shield... On the other hand my food consumption would increase and that would be bad since I already have to eat a lot. Anyway, now I`m thinking about ratling artifacts - this is my list so far:
    1) Torc
    2)B ig Punch - if I find huge bat
    3) Sword of Nonnak
    4) Phial
    5) Axe?
    6) Maybe precrown gift if it turns out to be worse than the Crown of science, otherwise the crown

    Here is my current vlg:

    Trollish elementalist day 2:
    I just started playing today and the first enemy I encountered was a huge bat Seems I`m going to get Big Punch. I still didn`t lose any of the brag points, but today I`m about to get uncursed and get precrowned. I don`t think I`ll manage to visit ID since I won`t advance to level 45.
    More in time.

    I went to dwarven mystic with N alignment. I think SoCR`s will be more useful since I don`t have stealth so I won`t be able to get weird tome from the librarian :/
    I also took other quests from Thrundarr.

    After ID my stuff it turned out I have potion of strength in my pack, so now I have 33 St.
    I went to VD and on my way i became grown-up, so I received anothe 1 St, 2 Le and 2 Wi. I generated Keethrax, bought some scrolls in the shop and went back to CoC since I reached L alignment and level 11. I converted the altar removed my curse, but I decided it would take too much time to get precrowned here, so I moved to SMC since I had means of teleportation.

    It seems that item generation is heavily affected by PC`s luck. When I was cursed i couldn`t even get to strained! because of the low item generation. I also have been receiving more useless stuff like 3 scrolls of item destruction. Now I`m in UD and I`ll try to get to HMV.

    I also discovered funny thing: when you have extremely low Le, your char eats fortune cookie with the scrap of paper in it and states that cookie tates like ink

    EDIT:
    I found another N altar in UD3, converted it and get precrowned with Crown of Leadership. Now it`s time to get chaotic and "please" the ratling. I proceeded further, found pool in UD8, gained 1 St (35 now, nice), got to the HMV and ID my stuff. I found PoGA and scroll of PEACE. Rng is a bastard.

    Another EDIT:
    I went to VD and killed Keethrax. It was somewhat dangerous without alertness, but I
    engaged him in melee while berserking and he died quickly. I delivered the corpse and took
    wand with spellbook. Went to CoC, drank lots of carrot juice, other attribute potions and
    proceeded to the forest. Found ancient scythe, another PoGA and a pool on D13. I went to D15 and dark elven princess scared the shit out of me when she decided to fight in blind rage. Thankfully she didn`t paralize me and I made it to tension room where I found an ordinary ring! Now I have to go back to dwarftown and ID it.

    On my way back I went thruogh DH2 and found ancient karmic wyrm (I almost wet my pants :P), so I went through the forest again. I ID`d my stuff and there it is! My very own ring of djinni summoning!

    My further plans:
    -saving Khelly
    -finding scroll of danger
    -reaching lvl 13 and doing pyramid, graveyard, darkforge and gremlin cave.

    I had to use fireball in the forest, now my only passage leads through the DH.

    I went to the pyramid and lost some (luckily unimportant) equipment to acid traps. I killed Rehetep and proceeded to the VD to kill some slugs. After that I went to the graveyard and found worn boots (It`s day 60 so they can still be somewhat useful). I descended to the underground level and I got 2 To from wight corpse and another RoDS! Ironically, this is one of the luckiest games I`ve ever played.

    Strangely, worn boots were boots of speed insted of 7lb`s.

    I proceeded to the darkforge where steel golem brought me to 1HP. I teleported away and tried to calm down. I cleared weapon vault and found hammerhead there, so it seems my Le is going to rise soon. I destroyed all the golems and got the crown, then I went to PC and some stupid air elemental ignited all my ID scrolls

    I finally found scroll of danger in the shop, so I bought it and went to CoC to give artifacts to the ratling. I gave him 4, now I have to get big punch and the Phial. I dug the ogre cave and found lots of crystals.

    In short: I found the phial and fed the ratling, first boar I encountered gave me his skull, I received medal of chaos from Gaab, now I`m going to crown myself as a champion of order.

    I accidentally sacced 80 cooked lizards, but I bought almost 200 in the arena, lucky me. Now I`m waiting to get to L+, but it shouldn`t be too hard on exp level 16.

    One step closer to my first ultra. I got crowned with the artifact cloak and fire immunity. It seems that ancient chaos wyrm will feel my troll`s wrath tomorrow.
