This is the story of Zap, 11 year-old troll wannabe-wizard. (random character, Falcon-born)

Zap, gifted troll child, ran away from home after stealing a spellbook of Summon Monsters and one of Acid Bolt from the local library.
Knowing he got hungry quite often he purchased 8 large rations in the first town he found and also learned how to steal stuff wihtout killing the victim (yet) from a nice man in the next town.
He decided to investigate a small cave, found a blanket and descended (still level 1). In that dungeon he found some herbs (but no stable patterns after missing one generation), an admantium scimitar, a medium crystal shield (which he used extensively since he was not that good of a wizard after all), a cloak of invisibility he wore until he left the region for good (except ToEF, Rift and Air Temple) and a neutral altar on which he converted to worshipping Ne'Ftrr. Everything was already going well when Zap pickpocketed an ordinary ring from a skeleton, which he promptly blessed and out came a djinni. Zap wished for red dragon scale mails (of which he used one and stashed the others somewhere and forgot about them). From then on Zap didn't have to worry about his life for quite some time.
He also found some spellbooks on the way (and in a lesser undead vault) (Teleport, CCW, but no offensive spells).
Leggot, the human shopkeeper in the High Mountain village, gave *GOOD* prices to Zap (though Ap:9), but didn't have anything worthwhile on sale.
So Zap ventured to the famous Caverns of Chaos, found some ratling traders which would feed him with lizards and bats for the next 80 days.
In a big room Zap stabilized some herbs (1 x stoma / 3 x morgia / 1 x moss / 2 x pepper).
On the way down he found a room filled with fire vortices, but they didnt seem to notice invisible Zap.
Thrundarr wanted him to slay a berserker, easy enough to wait in the big room while harvesting herbs. Zap found some useful spells (Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Darkness), but still relied mostly on melee (and did until very deep into CoC, even did some melee on D:50).
Zap scouted the Dwarven Halls (monster detect), spotted a Master Lich on DH:2, so took the forest-route.
He then cleared some ogre caves and became champion of the arena by besting Ripclaw the Troll.
Zap sacrificed some herbs, a greater daemon, then an artifact mace he got as reward for the first one (still remained at very close).
He then decided to go back to Terinyo, helped the druid there by killing his competitor from a nearby cave (in melee), because he grew prettier flowers than Guth (weren't druids supposed to be pretty tolerant guys?). Guth then asked if Zap wanted to learn how to freeze things to death or how to use cowdung to grow pretty flowers (after seeing how competitive the flower industry was, Zap gladly chose killing things with ice instead).
Zap visited an undead-infested dwarven graveyard, watered the flowers on the grave of a dwarven berserker and fireballed a master necromancer (took 3 casts).
Zap heard about a sword that necromancer buried somewhere but didn't have any digging tools, so he got the gauntlets he found there and found an invitation to a Pyramid. There he found a pickaxe, returned and got Nonnak's sword (which he used on and off until D:41).
Zap killed a crime lord and his bouncers (at least he thought so, apparently one of them fled cowardly) and trained trap detection and climbing with Yergius.
He then cleared out the rest of the Pyramid with ease (at level 13). The mummy lord didn't seem to own anything of value, but when he died (after 2 arrows of undead salying and 1 fireball) it turned out he was just good at hiding his valuables.
Zap investigated a nondescript cave, but the steel golem guarding the stairs shrugged so many Lightning bolts he decided it was too tedious.
On the way back to Dwarftown a blink dog showed up which summoned a lot, after 6 kills a corpse was left and Zap left the rest of them alive.
Back in Dwarftown Zap played hide-and-seek with the towns mystic and won some scrolls of chaos resistance and other stuff.
On the way Zap found some bracers of toughness {+6 To} which he immediately put on and used (until D:49).
Now able to control teleportation Zap visited Darkforge again, found no armor but an eternium two-handed sword and a hammer of the gods. The golems fell to careful melee with the sword (and some arrows of construct slaying).
back in Dwarftown Zap gave Ne'Ftrr back the hammer his god seemde to have misplaced in Darkforge and was crowned a champion of his cause (=Elec, staff of the archmagi: straight dumped into ogre cave, never looked at again).
Zap retrieved the ring of the High Kings without problems, let the dying sage bleed out, found a spellbook of Strength of Atlas in the CoC graveyard and kept that spell up for the next few months and finally killed a snake from beyond in darkness, took its Orb (and kept it on until D:48). On the way back up popped into DH:2 ... right next to that Master Lich. After a brief panic attack Zap started to throw fireballs and that Lich fell without hitting Zap even once.
Zap brought the snake corpse to the Druid tendening his garden, visited the Puppy Cave which had a ring shop, of which he stole the 2 largest stacks while invisible.
He then cleared the Tower of Eternal Flames (with 2 fireproof blankets, which both survived). The Ancient Chaos Wyrm hit hard with magic missiles, but fell to Frost Bolts and Acid Balls.
Zap almost met his demise at the hands of an eternium golem (lesser vault, hit critically for 228 HP, 243 max HP). Rest of the golems fell to that eternium two-hander from Darkforge.
In the casino Zap found the robes of resistance which he wore for the rest of his stay (except for the fight with archmage, where Mummy wrapping was essential), his first seven league boots, an adamantium spear of devastation (which was used until D:41), and tons of spellbooks.
So Zap gambled until he had 13 Million gold, bought lots of stuff (for 5 Million), invested the rest in training with Garth/Yergius and sacrificed half a Million.
Somewhere along the way (before casino) Zap got his first corruption (teleportitis), so he went to the assassins guild (invisible) to learn all the spells (after stocking up on bats and lizards), while simultaneously training stealth (read books in room with four assassins).
Wanting to learn more spells Zap decided to visit that great library he heard about, stashed all valuable stuff away, boosted his willpower by drinking, and jumped into the rift. Some things were destroyed, but nothing irreplacable.
He entered the library (level 20), fought all the monsters, collected all the books (and leveled up inside: train stealth to 100), read some (for 2000 turns), but Librarian wants Zap to be quiet, so he read some more (2000 turns), librarian still doesn't want anything to do with Zap (whats up with that librarian anyway, never could figure him out and so many opinions floating around, think I've only gotten the tome once in about 4 visits), so he left and read the rest of the books in assassins guild again.
Time for Zaps final dive: get the ring from the cat lord (really no cats killed out of LOS? Hadn't expect that).
Fight a werewolf king tension room: Zap confidently teleported in the middle and starts fireballing -> oops, suddenly they can see Zap and hit hard (almost died there), so Zap backed up, they summon, cleared by Magic Missile (and got two levelups in the process -> level 23).
Zap found a greater giant vault on D:41, which had Nature's Companion (didn't use, since he already had a ring of elemental mastery), a ring of djinni summoning, Far Slayer (used a bit) and Purifier (Yeah! used that for the rest of his visit).
D:44 had a lesser red ragon vault, which had Wyrmlance (how fitting, probably left by a previous overconfident adventurer) and a writing set.
Yulgash and Ancient Stone Beast were pushovers (everything in earth temple fell so easily to Purifier), archmage not so much (few close calls, no mana, magic missiles hit hard, few hits in melee (not better) -> picked up poison hands, didn't notice -> turn 6 blessed potions of extra healing into poison), but got him eventually (humanoid slayers from afar, casting CCW from health, finish with Acid Balls from health).
On D:49 Zap got bracers of war from Ne'Ftrr for throwing stuff away (gods can be so easy to impress).
On D:50 Zap tunelled into north and south corridors, read 2 scrolls of familiar summoning for fun (2 greater earth elemetals), handled levers, but no balors would come, Zap didn't want to open main room and fight them all at once, so he wished for wands of destruction, zapped and left (at level 31). He wrote another scroll of chaos resistance to cleanse all corruption and returned triumphant to be crowned king of all trolls at age 11 and live a long life (He mixed and drank about 20 potions of longevity (invis + stoma) but didn't get aged once).
