YAFVP - Garkil, the gnomish elementalist

[Theodal]

*dances*

That felt great :D
I was very lucky with that character... I found 2 altars in the druid's dungeon and got an early precrowning gift from my lawful god, the robes of resistance; I consider this one of the main reasons why this character won, and I was extremely paranoid about the RNG coming back at me for this... it didn't. I wore them from the moment I got them 'till the happy end, only took them of when I trained To. Got a power surge in the CoC and snuck Executioner from the dead (again) body of a shadow lord guardian, which is the second reason this game went great. I hacked through most of my enemies for a good portion of the game.
The rest of the game was pretty uneventful (as uneventful as ADOM gets). Botched my kitty karma pretty early in the game (don't remember how), also I killed some dwarf when I hunted the greater daemon in dwarf town... had to kill Waldenbrook. The rest of the elemental temples went down fairly easy, Nuurag-Vaarn was stubborn, of course, but gave in to Executioners human-slaying powers eventually (leaving me a pair of 7LB). Corruption got pretty bad while I was fighting through the last levels; before I reached the lower levels it was past day 90, but I had enough SoCR and even found one PoCC in D50... closed the gate when I was 85-90% corrupted.
Also, though I was heavily spoiled by the GB, I've never save-scummed until now (made a first backup before talking to the white unicorn), something I'm a bit proud of :rolleyes:

flg dump in the next post...

Congrats! First always feels the best :) I see you made good use of spells and melee in the game, but you never touched missiles? You should try and archer some time to see how powerful missiles can be.
