YAVP - 2nd win - UNE! (drakish healer)

[Maul]

I don't know what's with me now, but shortly after getting my first (ULE) win, I just managed another, this time an UNE!

Character (Illo, the male drakish healer) was extremely lucky, though; much more so than Diego, I'd dare say. I don't even know where I got the AoLS from, anymore, but I think I just found it in a loot pile in some lesser vault. This despite the fact that I started with a PV of 0, and often forgetting about my acid breath, I had a couple of nasty situations! Including that gorgon on PC: 6 I mentioned in another thread. But yeah, soon enough, I found all the necessary stuff for the ultra. Converting to chaotic was done gradually, since there was no early-game chaos altar. I just ate lots of undead corpses and dug up some graves (got lots of To from the former). Problems in the game: My own stupidity. More on that later. Also, had problems in Darkforge as I didn't manage to find good weapons, really - an eternium halberd or two there, which did come in useful when I needed to deal lots of damage. After that, ToEF - the tower itself was a bit tough, tougher than last time, although high speed made it easier and poisoned dragon slaying ammo + Stun Ray brought it down. (During this game, I discovered that healers can actually be rather good at spells - a pleasant surprise, I used spells often for identifying, teleing and to some extent, crowd control and bolting stuff I didn't dare melee. I still trained bows and x-bows though.) Of course, I left the corpse to cook there, then forgot about it and left. Then I decided to come back (damnit!) and used up lots of wand of digging charges to be able to escape. After realising I wasn't invisible, of course. However, I had a surge of power on the Tower level 1. Staff of the archmagi. This, combined with the presence of the black torc, made it so that I had the crystal phial left over after feeding the ratling.

Not much more problems after this for a while. I had two greater vaults, both full of fire monsters. Got the following artifacts from them:


Robes of resistance (used it all the way after blue dragons took 10 PV down in one strike from my BDSM!)
Bracers of war (Yay!)
Ironfist (Yay!)


Also, I got Hammerhead from Darkforge, which was very useful in mining and tunneling. That was earlier, of course.

As for the endgame... Keriax was no problem (ate his corpse on D:50), Archmage neither (I used a pot of boost willpower and two rings of mental stability, next to my humanoid slaying ammo - didn't stand a chance). Seriously, due to different factors my stats went up higher than with Diego, overall! But the thing that made it all easy eventually: in the BDC, I found two wands of wishing, which amounted to 9 wishes overall!! I couldn't hurt EM (yeah, apparently even slaying ammo sucks in the hands of a non-archer) so I wished for phase daggers, then split the rest of my wishes between SoCR and (in the end, before entering the Chaos Plane) speed. D: 50 was annoying, but I teled past everyone, wore the insignia and ToTRR and entered after using the wishes (brought me to 1000 speed).

This time, corruption was much more noticeable. Funny thing, I saw a purple @ immediately after entering, so I tossed a PoCC at it. "The chaos sister seems to be weakened." D'OH! Luckily, I had another (reserved originally in case Andy would dodge the first) and after learning that Andy is a black @, blasted him with the PoCC and whacked him to hell with the ToTRR.

Actually, stuff got so easy in the end, I didn't throw a potion of uselessness and I didn't do unicorn quest. Heh. Was afraid of the alignment drop at the latter anyways. How much does it hurt to kill Yrruir alignment-wise?

FLG in next posts.

His further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the scales
of Balance appear before you. All the forces of Balance seem to be united
behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Balance and the
tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia.

Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers and
priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to be
revered as a minor power of Balance. After a few millennia have passed you
are raised to the position of a demi-god to guard Ancardia from the forces
of Chaos and Order forever.

Under your guidance Ancardia becomes a balanced and happy world, enjoying
its own freedom to be never again threatened by the unbalancing powers of
the universe.
