Actually it's kinda failed game, but still my first true win.I almost won before(DE Mindcrafter who loaded because death on first and only turn in darkness was too harsh at that time for me).

Hm, I try to tell about him with my crippled english.
First of all PC went to outlaw village, killed beggar, got pick pockets.
Generated SMC, took druid quest went to DD.
It was pretty non interesting until i went down the stairs to DD7 to generate Keethrax and return later.Was lvl 7 i think.
I went down, two cats were geneated near me, i decided to brutally murder them after getting up.
Well, in 2 rounds they take down my hp lower then 1/3 and a run cowardly.Between two stairs i suddenly notice gray oozes(4 afair), managed to outmanoeuvre them and get to DD5.
'Suddenly, a blink dog appears!'.Yeah, summoner is exactly what i want with low-hp low-lvl monk.
Name dit, and ran.Too slow.It summons and in the next room i was completely surrounded.Used prayers, clearly not enough.
Decided to test 2 wands i got.Lucky me, the second turned out to be wand of acid with 3 charges.Yeah, i'm alive and running again.Accidently killed named dog,got no corpses,but alive and that's what matters.
On the last crossroads to stairs decided that fightning 3 BD at once is'not effective so ran to the nearest corridor with door to fight 1-1 and to rest.Killed that way 2 bd and after that i see bunch of pit vipers heading towards me.Stupid goblins activated the trap in the distance.
I opened the door, went out close it and hoped that in the parallel tunnel there would be no vipers.Lucky me, they don't study tactics.
Got to stairs to DD4, where finally were no nasty surprises.

After thar went to PC, precrowned on PC4 using C altar, got scorched spear.
Leveled up a bit, returned to DD, slautered my problems and got Herbalism.
Somewhere here i got SLB's and orange potions.
Went to SMC/UD, stairs were close, blanket was futher but was not a problem.
Potion shop om UD2, got BD corpse and alive bd summoner on UD3.

Shop message at UD5, later revealed with blessed scroll of magic map.

Selling stuff to ghosts and stone creatures apparently.

No stone giant in HMV, talked to old crone, nothing interesting in leggot's shop.
Went to CoC, DT on D11, first quest was to kill skeleton.
DH was not obvious, so i kicked the way in east and after that north wall and used 2 charges of wand of door creation.
Got to D16, looked at Kelly, went back.
Pacified Big Room, got 2 stable patches there.
Went to VDDL, got wand, tried to raid DF.Tried to kill the first golem in NDC with arrows.Lucky again - stack of 5 arrows(i had 3 stacks at all) was ... of construct slaying.Killed the golems near stairs, nothing interesting for monk in armor room, got 2 eternium 2-handed swords.Equipped one and fought with it.
Using wand of fireballs, killed Rehetep went to dwarfen graveyard, there pickpocketed to get entrance to thieves guild. Got glowing wand.
Yeah, wand of wishing, 2 charges.One used for AolS.Got sword of nonnak,elemental gauntlets, went to Yergius, got Detect traps, returned to CoC.
Saved Khelly?, learned TP, dived deeper, killed banshee, on D24 it became harsh, so i turned back.Killed Snake from beyond in darkness, sold the corpse to Waldy.
Strangely but it didn't manage to find Moon Sickle.
Went to ToHK,got Ring, was lvl17.Did not have intrinsic fire resistance so had to wear 4 items(torc, 2 rings and gauntlets).Tried to find fire corpse - nothing.
Unfortunately encountered tension room of fire giant kings so ran away, leveld a bit in ToHK, went to DF to drink from pools - got there fire res.
Fire giant kings was avoided with potions of invis, ACW killed with potion of confusion and 4 hits.
Dived down the CoC, greater vault on D26.2 weapons and one armor part there.But of course this was Undead vault.
Casino had emerald dagger, but it was of no use to me.
D31(or was it D29 can't remember) was another greater wault.Bracers and armor there.All hail undead.
Killed cat lord with wand of paralysation and melee-berserking.Got a few levels.Decided it was time to get cow axe.
Feeded rattling, started another old crone's quests.
Was not clever enough, lost oll potions of nice healing, after that just ran,swapped positions and TPed.After a long walk finally got to ML7, same wand, same result.Switched to AoTME, and smashed with it until the last fight.
Fell down the Rift, gave scroll of ill fate to Ghost Librarian, waited till blessing was over, got weird tome.
Got intrinsic invibility by drinking pools in Darkforge and stopped sipping.
After cat lord level got another greater vauld.This time giants - 1 green armor part in the middle.Yeah, Robes of resistance
Though XP was small so did'not clear the vault.
Tried to get to BoW by swapping myself - the first high lich drained 2 stats in the first rurn i was near.Too risky.
Air temple was easy, cow axe smashed everything i wanted.
4th greater vault.Giants.One missile weapon,one armor part,one missile.Farslayer, Ironfist,Thunderstroke.
Again XP not worth getting corruptions.
Earth temple was harder with my not-very-high-HP on character level 28.
5th greater vault.This time red dragons - yeah, XP was what i wanted.Got there hammerhead and leveled up.
Went to BDC, well paralyzation do wonders.
Got Needle(or Sting?), killed AKW for XP.Got to level 42.Still not enough.Decide to kill moma dragon.Already crowned neutral.
Again same tactic.To reduce aligment drop used blessed amulet of balance.45 lvl exactly.Got to NC - risky.
Go to outlaw village to give gold to beggars.
The first encountered beggar is hostile.
One keypess.CN.AAARGH.
Still decided to do filk quest, and so on.
Got another dagger, killed filk on lvl3, got location of SC, killed EM(didn't think it would be easy - i took more time getting to him on his level, then actually killing him with cow axe.No paralazy this time).
Was disappointed by mean khelavaster that didn't gave me the TotRR.But whatever.
Do not have death ray resistance, but chaos archmage was stupid.Slit his throat with my daggers.
Tried to slaugter everyone on D50.The last prayer healed me and summoned creatures.(Were they gray slayers?Didn't looked close).
Drained charge from wand of wishing, because of mana battery, but anyway - wrenched the last charge for wands of destructions.Didn't managed to kill fistanarius and hordes of summons and probaly a few balors i think.Destroyed levers, leaved, white unicorn quest, the end.

[littlebrather]

Seems you to be a very calm person. Is Khelly still alive?

[Dudley]

He wouldn't have been had it been me.
Try a wizard after... tyou'll have a much easier time for ultra :p

[AlterAsc]

Khelly is alive, yeah.
Lucky old man, because I thought about reducing him to nothing just after leaving Drakalor Chain.
I think i'll continue with mindcrafters or assassins.My first almost-won assassin turned into purple j on D48.Why?
Because I didn't 'U'sed orbs, I dropped them on anomalies, monsters picked it up,I killed them while another Orb was picked up and so on till i died.
I started this monk because i was tired of shield+1h,and wanted to smash things with 2hander and still have high DV.And this purpose was fullfilled completely.

Added: pretty sure what i was neutral when tried to give Kelly crumpled scroll.So it means he thinks of fallen champions as unworthy to get TotRR? Didn't know about it.Or it could be me still C, but i think i already converted back to N.

[Grey]

Fallen champions are not worthy of the trident :P My first ever win was with a similar situation, ended up accidentally crowning C half way through the game. Did the EM quest and all anyway, then killed Khelly and everyone else in the game before going on to get an OCG ending. Was very fun :)
