This is my sturdy gnomish weaponsmith, randomly generated first victory! The nickname obviously refers to armorpack slinger from Overwatch, whilst the latter addition to the name arose while playing the game. See the gear to understand why :)
Really struggled in early game, for example, got Chaos servants tension room on VD:7 and had to skip the quest up to crowing which was also problematic. Couple of sacrifices led to N=, and I wanted precrowning, had to run around pickpocketing people and went from N- to NC to CN in just two pickpockets, which reset piety. One time, I ran starving to Munxip, rushed to large ration, got overburdened without ability to throw things on the floor and strength to raise a hand and pay for food. Facepalming god helped with avoiding this YASD.
When choosing gear, focused on maximizing PV stat, partly because character flavor, partly because healing sources were ridiculously scarce and I used them only on strong PV-bypassers namely greater molochs. Other monsters were just cuddling my armor thus saving health. With immense help from my stupidity got stat-drained and lost couple of sweet crafted pieces of eqipment at the end. PV was as high as 86.
Aquired Dwarftown’s forge for myself by teleporting greedy dwarf and then luring him out of level. Spared his life, though. Intensely crafting, stopped collecting iron items from some point in the game and leaved Iron Fist somewhere in red dragon D:47 vault :)
Treasure Hunter talent sucks! Ended up hoarding junk, for ex, found PoCC and SoCR only once as random loot, no AoLS or wishing items. Also never had a chance to extract my gnome’s magic talents due to both skipping the Rift and overall poor quality of found books. And a Death Ray tome just blew up.
Altar was generated in Puppy Cave, which led to precrowning and crowning with Trusted One and Scullcrusher respectively. Dual-wielded them until the late game, where all of useful intrinsics from the sword were gained by other means. Aylas Holy Scarf (random loot) helped to bolster tanky positioning of the character and Sun’s Messenger (D:47 vault) is just good at shooting annoying monsters such as great red wyrm. Random looted Hammerhead wasn’t of terrible use and Wyrmlance (D:49) was just out of place, considering 2 great vaults with dragons in FGJC and D:47. Overall artifact-wise I had to manage things on my own.
Used my only wish from the pool to save Khelavaster. Actually, despite breaking 90 days limit, I’ve never experienced corruption problems: I was able to leave the Chain silky smooth even without Unicorn quest. And I knocked out couple of Fistanarius’s teeth in melee.
Managed to scribble SoCR, but paid 8 (!) Mana for this. Wow, man, as if those liches weren’t enough.
The only real deadly threat was Cat Lord. Thankfully, up and down stairs were generated adjacently and we never met. Others were easily avoided with teleport-shooting, which is plain cheating. It’s like playing not Torbjorn but Tracer. Overall safe run with forged eternium balls-protecting trousers forgiving couple missclicks. Also learned valuable lesson not to go berserk ever. DV penalty difference from Very Aggressive is too damn high.
Some highlights from kill feed:
> 16 emperor liches
Was unlucky (and stupid) enough to encounter tension room full of emperor liches prior the Mana Temple. Started dispatching the royal family just to realize my stats are gone to shits! And in tiles mode statdraining is not highlighted in red!
> 1 ki-rin
Never knew these pretty horses are quite rare and pose danger until randomly stumbled on a wiki article, long after slaying one.
> 1 child
Got engaged in infanticide in Terinyo. Aggravated a child for some unknown reason and had to splatter his guts before his mother’s eyes. She took it surprisingly calm.
