Da da da daaaa!!! First win (ULE)

[BrianL]

After being introduced to this game eight or nine years ago, I finally beat this game. Three days ago, I hadn't made it past the ToEF, but now I've got an ultra win under my belt.

I'm particularly happy because now I can stop playing GE Healers and go to a different class. I like to think that Iwas right about them having the most potential since I ended up with a super wizrd/fighter mage of death.Alertness, concentration, find weakness, and dodge all make for a lot of possibilities.

In the beginning was the puppy and Kranach. And god said "let these be frustrating," and it was so. Aaliwsh, the grey elven healer, rescued and killed both respectively after many of her predecessors failed in the process or shortly thereafter. Within the mighty world of PC2 laid a bipolar pool that bore sickness and a wish for maces of destruction, which she used for the rest of the game until she received the TotRR. Right after that, she dragged the dog's ass back to the the top level, left him behind to go kill a neutral bandit to become NL and join the Thieves' Guild, before delivering the puppy to the tiny lass and killing Kranach with panache.

Keethrax the Druid passed away one morning when a crazed healer broke into his home and slaughtered him in the middle of playing with his pets. Our thoughts go out to his family and pets (but not the cats).

The maces made the SMC a breeze. Smush smush smush! That's been my philosophy in video games ever since I found a fire ax and then traded it for a super sledge in Fallout New Vegas. The HMV was uneventful and served mostly to get me across the wilderness without walking over it.

On the sixth or seventh level of the CoC, I found another simple pool who offered some willpower and another wish for an AoLS. A few levels further down lay a RoDS for sale in Waldenbrook's shop so she made out like Aladdin and secured three pairs of &lb (only ever finding one more naturally).

"Friend, I hast called ye' to mine humble home to discuss the death of a most evil villain that ye' must assure me. I want ye' to slay...... a skeleton.

From there, I played the game like normal for awhile. I swapped alignment to N to get some nice scrolls from the mystic, and killed my way down to the water temple. Smush smush smush! Water orb!

The fiery temple was a fun run. I lost my first pair of boots, but slaughtered the ACW on my second ascent with some status-inducing wands and potions (thanks, forumites!).

I deigned to do a little gold doubling when I found a girdle of greed and room full of dragons while invisible. Nothing wrong with having limitless funds and weight capacity, right?

Then the rest of the game sorta just happened. I waled past the guardian and the master cat. I used slaying ammo to off the temple lords, and had fun. After a while, I dropped to C and started the ultra quest line. It me forever to get back afterwards, but it wasn't too hard to part with the mostly useless artifacts I had found. I slipped on a ring of doom and found the skull on my third boar. I had the boots and a lot of speed to help me swapped places with a farmer to murder him despite any moral objections (Hey, I had to save the world!).

I found another RoDS in a ring shop below the Dwarven Halls. I wished for the Emperor Moloch and went to town on them at D6 with a sword penetration.

I acid balled the Ancient Blue Wyrm and butchered the Archmage without too much trouble.

I bade a tearful goodbye to my sweet orbs of chaos and went to take care of Andor. He was alright, I guess. I never lost more than 200 HP below my max and had a lot of SoRC to use. I threw blindness, confusion, and cure corruption at him and went to town with the trident.

Ta da!

Looking back, I guess I could have gone ahead and done the N= ultra, but hey, I want things to be nice and pretty. Chaos sucks and neutrality is for Switzerland.

I win! Thanks for the help, everyone.

Height: 6' Weight: 55 pounds Scars: 5
Age: 316 (grown-up, 9 years of unnatural aging added in)

YOUR HISTORY:
Your parents were poor people. They loved you and cared for you,
although you had to hunger more than once.
As a child you had to survive pretty harsh times since your parents
seemed to have run out of luck. Their wealth was ever-declining and times
were very hard.
In your youth you worked a lot to become rich and famous later.
Consequently you rarely had enough time to play with other kids of your
age.
Your young adulthood was characterized by hard and long work. You
had decided to study under a renowned master. To your great disappointment
you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
You decided to become a Healer.

Her further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
pillars of Order appear before you. All the forces of Order seem to be
united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order 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 Order. After a few millennia have passed you are
raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia from the
forces of Chaos and Balance forever.

Under your guidance Ancardia becomes an orderly and organized world without
striking changes. Peaceful order (and boredom?) spreads and the world enters
an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it.

[JellySlayer]

Congratulations on first win and first ultra!

...Did you kill Andor Drakon without paralysis resistance?

[BrianL]

Yes. I guess I forgot to go over that detail before I fought him. He never paralyzed me, though. He barely did anything but drain a few stats when I got too close. I forgot to quaff my boost potions until halfway through too. Funny how that works.

[Roarke]

Congratulations on your first win/ultra! It sure sounds like you turned a rough start into a smooth end, both within this game and over the course of 9 years. Well done.
How'd you end up with Toughness/Dex that high? Garth? Or were those stats the result of last-minute "boost foo" potions?

[BrianL]

Garth and blessed stat potions, although I did quaff whatever boosts I had too. I know there was at least one of each. Not to mention the 8 speed boosts. : )

Thanks.

[Roarke]

Not to mention the 8 speed boosts. : )

That really is an incredible speed stat. Just for curiosity's sake, why did you need all that speed?

[anon123]

I deigned to do a little gold doubling when I found a girdle of greed and room full of dragons while invisible. Nothing wrong with having limitless funds and weight capacity, right?

I once found a huge tension room of baby white dragons in the level before Kelly. Suffice to say, gold ceased to be a problem for the rest of that game - I had to keep separate billion gp stacks in Dwarftown to avoid the overflow bug!

Being able to give Garth a few million gold pieces per stat is neat. Results are like drinking a blessed PoGA every few hundred turns.

Congrats on the win. An ultra for your first one is pretty good, and I enjoyed the funny read :)


Just for curiosity's sake, why did you need all that speed?

Andy can walk through walls and teleport, and his speed is around 200. Every turn spent in the Chaos plane corrupts a lot. The faster you can dispatch him, the better.

[BrianL]

Yeah, I have this habit of hoarding game items that I never end up using. This is mostly a problem in final fantasy games because the items that were awesome 40 levels before don't do much good at the end. With that in mind, I wanted to use all of my boost potions and other handy items as best as I could.
