Hoorayyy, my third victory!
This time with a melee character at last. Previous where with a high elven archer and a grey elven priest. And I also had a 50 level wizard shredded by an overloaded wand bug in the Mana Temple :)

So, a bit of a story:
Started by visiting a small cave, then got Druid's quest, pickpocket skill, descended to DD7 and returned to the small cave for the blanket and dived through UD. Reached the HMV, then returned to Terinyo to finish the quests. Got herbalism and the potion from the Druid.
No altars were generated in the early dungeons, so I went to the CoC. First dwarven quest was to kill a corpse fiend and I spent a lot of time looking for it after I finally got it in the Big Room. I'm damn HORRIFIED by the forest, so I decided to take care of other things first. I pacified the Big Room, which luckily had all the herbs I needed, finished pyramid, then dwarven graveyard. Then I decided to give Khelly a chance and went to ID 25 to hunt for rings of djinni summoning. God bored and returned to the CoC and then found TWO of them sitting in the backpack - that was the rare case, when they weren't labeled as "ordinary rings". So I wished for the amulet of dying sage saving and rings of invisibility (because as I said, I fear the forest) At some point in the midgame I found a mithril spear of penetration which I used till the end of the game. I learned smithing, almost made a cavern out of the ogre cave kicking walls for ore, let the demon finish poor dwarven smith, then spent time smithing, training with herbs and with Garth. Trained Concentration and Literacy to 100, raised Learning to 20+ then read all the spellbooks I found.
Sacced all the unneeded artifacts and some gold and got crowned with Shirt of the Saints and lightning immunity (very handy for the dragon caves). ToEF was easy, I rushed to the top, lured the ACW in the corridor, blinded him and killed rather quickly in melee. Found an eternium plate male of life in a threat room of dwarven chaos knights. Then descended to the Casino, didn't bother to gamble, nothing interesting generated in the shop. Returned to the surface, killed Blup's Mom for exp (was very low level still) then took all the gear and dived deeper. All the bosses where easy thanks to blindness and monk's ability to switch places with hostile monsters. The dragon caves were a cakewalk, got two more rings of djinni summoning there. Wished for a girdle of giant strength and wands of destruction. Was pretty capable of clearing the D50, but decided to destroy the levers instead. Closed the gate, finished unicorn's quest and went home :)
The only greater vault generated was of undead, so I skipped it.

Congrats!


killed Blup's Mom for exp
I didn't know this can be done safely without becoming a fallen champion. I guess you were N+ before attacking? Or am I overestimating the chaotic drop?

Yes, I was N+, probably went to N- after the kill.
