Apollo the Human Necromancer - An extremely fun game that was! Apollo was born under the sign of the Cup, randomly rolled out of boredom. When he survived to level 10, I thought I might have something going. When he survived a diamond golem on DH:1, and killed a werewolf king on DH:2 at level 15, I thought he might have a chance at something neato, like killing the ACW again. When I saw that it took nearly 30+ double-hitting magic missiles to kill a balor, I nearly despaired - well, I almost lost all hope when my god "punished me for my impunity!" on D:50 against Fistanarius for asking for more PP, and cursed my entire inventory. I *did* end up praying a LOT on D:50, so I don't really blame Onn. Then Fistanarius took a magic missile to the face, and he and his 9 balor friends, all their chaos wizard buddies and their ghost lord chums lay dead at my feet! Shut the gate, got out ASAP, cleansed with the Unicorn.

For most of the game I wore Robes of Resistance and pummeled stuff with Big Punch and Long Sting. Then I got Rolf'S Savior and used that till the Mana Temple, where I used a potion of poison and Needle + Sting to kill Nuurag, then switched back to Rolf's. I used the wrapping out of paranoia, since I wanted to keep using the ankh and wanted -deth. Here's part of the FLG:
Edit: Updated it with some information it was missing.

prosperous life full of love, happiness and pleasure.

Excellently done, and not with a wizard for a change :P

I like how you DIDN'T scum the hell out of this PC's stats. Makes it more impressive than it already would have been :)

Next I'm hoping for some kind of ultra, though I'll take another normal win too :D

Just not sure if I'll be able to complete an ultra...seems to take lots of luck, or lots of mucking around in the ID. I usually have a short attention span when it comes to the ID, and I end up exiting it a bunch and losing valuable game time.
