Win # 3.
Started as a Candle Troll Assassin. Excellent skillset and very good in the early game. Nice combo, but I wouldn't rush play a Troll again as they're only good in the early game.
Took druid quest, dove SMC->UD straight away and found a pair of worn boots(!)--turned out to be 7LB as expected when I was able to test them later. UD was not too dangerous for a candle troll, but I ran from mixed vaults.
Went straight to dwarftown so I could use the altar to test the boots. On CoC: 10 I found Executor laying on the ground in a jelly vault. More absurd luck, although as an Assassin I had 50% chance (iirc) of getting a humanoid slayer as a crowning gift later.
Lured the Old Barbarian back to puppy cave, but I guess I pushed him around one too many times and he went hostile. So, no courage quest once again. I got doomed by a karmic lizard on the way back from the druid quest and I foolishly tried to melee Hotzenplotz while doomed before I went back to Dwarftown. He criticalled me for 104 damage in (127-23) one turn and I regained my senses and killed him with missiles after healing up.
Did all the midgame quests easily in prep for TOEF. Got 4 SoCR from the Mystic. Pool drank in Darkforge and got AOLS to save Khelly. TOEF once again wasn't too hard, but I only had a fireproof blanket thanks to the Ancient Dwarf.
After TOEF, I got the ring of the master cat and raced through the rest of the CoC using teleportitis. My ring of djinni summoning got smashed by a ceiling trap in the Earth Temple. My char was pretty weak for the Mana Temple, so Before Mana Temple I got the Shield of Raw Steel and used it throughout the endgame. Awesome shield if you have the spare chaos removal to use it. I laboriously cleared Mana Temple(I HATE CHAOS WIZARDS) and didn't have a /destruction, so I had to clear D:50 the hard way. I entered at XL 27, but ended up gaining seven levels slaughtering Balors and various chaos thugs with virtual impunity. In the end, I found a wand of destruction on the ground and made an early exit. GG
