Well, there we go. My first Ultra winner. Archer seemed like a sensible choice for
the endeavour, and so it proved. I like Delven ones, cause they are elves with Find
Weakness - just have to piss around at the very start milking rockthrowers and stuff -
well worth it IMO. The whole slaying ammo thing is just insanely powerful.
Started this PC ages ago (I am very stop start, 15 min at a time sort of player), so
don't remember everything, but seems I converted to lawful at some point,
got my hatchet from the carpenter, dived down through the UD, did all the usual stuff,
did not do any boring pre-crown stuff, got a wish from Darkforge, shot lots of stuff,
Saved Khelly, did the library for a SoDanger, emptied Greater Giant vault for Bracers of War,
Got all the orbs and killed Barney after getting the first of the twins,
and then had to tackle two Greater Undead Vaults to get enough XP to get
the Filk quest. Those vaults were insanely stat-painful, but I was never near actual death.
ONly actually got me to level 44 though, so I had to pick up Wyrmlance from floor of second
undead vault and return to BDC - no big deal.
The Scintillating Cave was pretty uneventful, the quickling tree was tasty, some smithing was carried out.
The Unicorn made K pure.
K was finally renamed, in honour of the gig I was at on Friday.
D50 was fun - Level 50 skill actually put to good use, with undead slaying ammo I one-shot killed
three ghost lords at the same time, which felt pretty damn groovy I have to say.
I blessed and poisoned lots of human and demon slaying ammo, equipped the correct stuff, and went
to find Andy. The fight itself lasted long enough for me to pick up a second corruption, with Andy
just stood there firing spells at me, and me just standing there shooting him from afar. I could have
used some paralysis wands, or drunk my stat booster potions, but after two wishes for speed, I just
shot him instead.

the white unicorn before my final dive (I was so paranoid about corruption
I had already deposited the medal and crown of chaos on the stairs of D48,

My smithing skill was therefore not very high at the time (about 60), but the
effects on my crown, chain mail, girdle and sheild were satisfactory anyway
