So, I started playing about a month ago after someone on the MUD I play in mentioned ADOM as a good time-killer. Turns out it is.
Hundreds of deaths later, I finally manage to get a character past 14 (I just don't think I play carefully enough). Rocking and rolling, working my way down CoC. Then I hit level 28 and run into a vault of Frost Giants and a tension room (open when I got to it) of Black Slayers. Managed two levels while trying to clear it, but I finally got swarmed and destroyed. Also, most of my corruptions came from using the Water Orb to keep myself alive as I HP casted my way to freedom. I probably could've done it, but I didn't have any books of Fire Bolt and I only had ~90 casts when I went down...
Back to the drawing board I guess.

YOUR HISTORY:
Your parents are travelling adventurers. They are doing moderately
well but are talented enough to survive.
As a child you had to survive pretty harsh times since your parents
seemed to have run out of luck. Their wealth was ever-declining and times
were very hard.
In your youth you enjoyed competition against others to the
fullest. You were a very active kid.
As a young adult you spent a lot of time searching for a deeper
meaning and purpose in your life. You pondered and pondered but nothing
truly sparked your interest. Finally, after many many hours, you made a
decision.
You decided to become a Priest.
