Finally closed the gate and exited, but have not yet left the Drakalor Chain. Might try to find some chaos removal items for the last few corruptions. Will post the victory shots or whatever once I leave.
Thinking was, in creating her, to have the thrown rocks skill for the early game to help her survive, which she did with no close calls. Ducked into SMC for blanket and peak down the stairs, went smoothly and got a few fast levels. Kranach and his crew had a shocking experience of having lightning bolts shot in their faces. Puppy cave had an altar on the floor below the cavernous level so precrowned with Natures Companion fine leather armor which served me well the entire game.
Through the UDC to HMV (came back later with humanoid slaying ammo for oracle corpse), and on to the CoC she went, spear and shield in hand, with some mace & missile training here and there, with bolt spells for lined up monsters. Dwarf quests, no problem, tunneled around tree level, Griff and Nonnak got smacked down with slaying ammo. Ducked out for Pyramid and then crowned with Fire Immunity, useless due to Natures Companion, was hoping for Acid which I did get later.
Game started getting a lot easier with Big Punch and Tower Adamantium shield smithed up. Darkforge raided, nothing of note. Rothk taken without a problem, wished for Amulets and Khelevaster got saved. Snake got stomped. Tower of Fire came next and at that point gear was good enough to handle it with minimal trouble, even 2 huge tension rooms loaded with fire giant kings. Got some nice strength bonuses from their corpses. Minotaur lair next, magic mapping spell and teleport sped that up. One paralyzing wand shot then several swings from Vanquisher and big bull went down. Suns Messenger long bow was the artifact there. Ate the corpse for the stat bonuses. Library didn't have anything too strong, or any good books. Decided to kill big momma water dragon. She nearly killed me a few times, once was down to 5 hps (out of 500) due to ridiculous water breath, but I had blessed AoLS on as insurance and she succumbed to dragon slaying ammo. Nothing of note in her hoard.
At that point with 40-50 stats each, 150 speed, stilt leg corruption for reduced action point cost (made up for not finding any SLB), and smithed eternium armor rest of game was a breeze. Blessed Cow axe cleaved through everything. Cat Lord got stuck in some webs and slaying arrows found their mark. Greater undead vault took a while with all the summons but was eventually cleared and 2 useless artifacts procured. After getting all the orbs and playing Russian Roulette with potions of raw chaos I was 90% corrupted so went back up to do the White Unicorn quest.
PoU got me robes of resistance, peh. The hordes of Chaos on d50 were no match for me and my newfound Greater Earth Elemental friend, we smashed our way through with a vengeance and when all perished the levers were handled and I departed. Decided to execute Sharad Wador on my way out for shits and giggles. He was stationary and underwhelming.
Now I'm screwing around in SMC, used the druidic summoning ability and got 3 extremely experienced rattlesnakes, hehe. "I call the big one bitey!"
I think the reason I won is because I didn't screw around too much, with altars or getting doomed & cursed. And I had good luck with item drops, no out of depth monsters or things I didn't have tools to handle came at me. Probably about 500 characters before this one were played, 75% of which did not survive the early game.
