So heres my first 'win'. It's pretty pathetic, as far as wins go, but I'm not ashamed at all. I'm just glad I have a little story to tell.
Got precrowned with serpent's bite, which was fun. Had Big Punch as well in the early stages of the game too, so I was pretty well-equipped. Anyway, my character proceeded with much regularity, and if anything exciting happened to him in the early stages I don't remember it, so we'll forget that. Oh, except that I had a belt of giant strength, which substituted for my pathetic lack of strength.
I dove down to the mana temple and on the way acquired the halberd, Wyrmlance, in a giant vault (as well as the ring of immunity). This was a good excuse, according to my friend, to go and slaughter some dragons in the blue dragon cave. So while I was up there getting food and curing corruption with the unicorn (so glad I did that) he convinced me to kill the assassin prince and then the blue dragon caves when I got to the bottom. So, I took his advice. Bam, Needle and Sting :D.
So after going back and forth a bit realising I left the mana orb behind I finally got down to D:50 for the first time. It's then when I ask my friend, "Okay, how do I win?"
"Well, you use a wand of destruction to destroy the levers."
"What if I don't have a wand of destruction?"
"You create doors around the levers and summon a monster in the middle of them."
"...What if I can't do that."
"Kill every intelligent monster on the level."
Ok, that sounds...easy...
So I didn't really plan on doing that, because at the time I didnt have the mana battery corruption, so I wanted to do the door thing. But then, while trying to teleport into the corridor at the bottom (no wands of digging for some stupid reason) I miscalculated the position and hit the wall, consequently teleporting to the bottom of the big room.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Well I decided to fight for a while til I could teleport out but I didn't want to teleport away and get surrounded by balors, infact I preferred having the ghosts and chaos servants surrounding me. After fireball spam and some needle and sting stabbing of balors I realised that I wasn't actually having much trouble at all. Couldn't see any more balors so I teleported out and killed Fistanarius (he was WAY easier than I expected). Got the wand corruption, so the door thing was hopeless as my wands would just die in a fire. I decided that I would try the hard way and stab virtually everything on D:50. And stab I did. I'm pretty sure I had almost EVERY corruption the moment I closed the gate, and if it werent for my finding of a ring of djinni summoning and wishing for a SoCR I would have probably died of corruption.
So, immensely proud of myself for finally winning the damn game, I began to ascend the CoC. I came across the battle bunny level. I tried teleporting to the stairs, but it seems the floor was too crowded. So, ever so slowly, I magic missiled my way up to the top. It took two whole prayers, but I got to about halfway through the last turn. I realiesd i had a cloak of invisibility, and wanted to see if that would help, so I put it on. I then began to magic missilize and stab things.
I then got hit to -458.
By ONE battle bunny.
In ONE round.
I have NO idea whatsoever how the hell that happened, but I don't care. I'm proud of my getting hit for 500 damage by a battle bunny. And I'm proud for my first win.
...wow, I've won ADOM. It's like my life has lost all meaning now.
Damn.
