I rolled this one a day or two ago when nathrakh, I think, recommended DE beastfighters (and going straight to UD to look for herbs) in a thread. Sorry for the wall of text, but I always type these. First time posting a YAVP, though.
I went straight for the SMC, found the stairway and a potion shop was generated on UD1. Since the stairways were so close to each other I decided to kill Kranach. That went well, so the outlaw village, PC and Keethrax were next. Found another potion shop in PC, which was great, and all of the Kranach money went on potions. Got tons of goodies in the UD, sold stuff at Leggot's and went to the CoC next. Everything went smoothly, did all the dwarven quests and cleared the TotHK/gremlin cave.
Just below Dwarftown I found a book shop (with the Alsophocus tome which was great, since it ruled it out as a uselesness gift) and a bit lower than that a ring shop. I tried re-stocking twice, hoping for a RoDS but didn't get any. At that point I was considering letting Khelly die, so I might as well get crowned. Got Preserver, possibly my favourite artifact.
Cleared DarkForge, drained every pool and still no wish. In the end I created a gremlin bomb and after around 500 gremlins a barbarian leader somehow got between the gremlins and I pick-pocketed an ordinary ring from him.
At the wall of fire I turned around, got my RoI and went to the ToEF. ACW was easy, I stunned it with a wand and then killed it in melee. Got me from lv21 to lv24. The beastfighter really started kicking ass after that, and it was a straight dive for me. Killed a couple of Eternal Guardians for xp (4-5 levels) and got to the casino. Picked up 2mil worth of items, but no artifacts. One GoGS, though. Cat Lord was a pain, I had accidentally killed a cave tiger I had locked behind a door just a few levels above the Cat Lord, so I went all the way back to the surface and killed every cat I have locked away. Might as well get good xp for it. Yeah, Car Lord was a pain and he almost killed me, but fell to humanoid slayers.
After that it was my usual drill: skip Air Temple and Earth Temple, go to UL, to the Mana Temple, BDC, Earth Temple and the hated Air Temple last. Easy, peasy, and I found myself lv45 with all the orbs. Visited the Greater White Unicorn, killed it, got 6!PoGA and went straight to D50. Cleared it pretty easily, though the chaos servants were a real pain, having over 500HP and dealing over a hundred damage. Left nothing alive or intact.
Went down the Rift (took only the bare essentials and lost nothing when I fell), got the weird tome, killed the Assassin Prince (and Filk), killed the Emperor Moloch just for fun (the last level is still massively corrupting even though I closed the gate) then killed Blup's mom while at N-; With over 1k HP she was easy to kill, just zapped my wands of paralyzation without cover of Darkness (her breath attacks did around 20dmg to me) and then killed her in 7 attacks with my bare fists. Unfortunately my alignment dropped to C, even though I was wearing a blessed amulet of balance. That's something to remember for next time. Went to the nearest neutral altar, pleased my god again (yuck) and that's that. Mana Rapida left the Drakalor Chain and returned to his people.
Oh, when I was fighting Sharad-Waador he kept using its breaths attacks and failed miserably (love Alertness) until its acid breath took me down from 550 to 50HP. Shrugged my shoulders, chugged down a potion of ultra healing and continued to pepper it with arrows until it died. Still though, 500dmg for an acid bolt?!
Before I left, I went to the Dwarven Mystic's room and left a bunch of treasure for the next adventurer who shows ingenuity. I got SoCR's, so I think it's only fitting for the next one to get his/her hands on some nice artifacts. D50 has now become a popular sightseeing spot, don't you know?
