Everything went pretty good afetr being precrowned with Preserver. First kill was a bandit. Secured loads of herbs in UD and Big Room, served me well. Tried starvation training for the first time, felt almost like cheating. :P Could have second precrown with stoma, but screwed with number of artifacts after generating SI. Also managed to destroy the teleport wand from assassin's guild (wrenched the last charge to get out). Did Pyramid, Griffyard, TotHK, Rift etc. Crone quest were easy. Missed Keriax on day 60, killed him on 90 easily. ToEF was a major pain on he first try without ring of ice - returned after wishing for it (stole a wand of wishing with 3 charges in CoC graveyard), then it was a breeze.

Casino got nothing interesting. Got Skullcrusher, Crown of Leadership, Serpent's Bite from a giant vault. Second giant vault had Nature's Companion and Staff of the Archmagi. Air/earth/mana temples were easy. Blue dragon caves & Sharad (and some lesser dragon vaults) took me to lvl50 and gave Bracers of War, 2xRoDS and girdle of giant strength. After fletching loads of ammo (including some slaying) I felt ready for anything.

I then attempted to convert to N (vast majority of the game was at C-). Using gold in Dwarftown (N altar) finally angered Waldenbrook (unholy aura). Managed to sac Nature's Companion in the process, don't ask me how :P (copy/paste is bad). Noticed priest turned hostile so I left to finish it in VD (N altar there too). Saccing NC must've converted the DT altar.. meh. Anyway.. Got Filk quest, found him on I:17 and killed, what of course caused me to be C again. After another conversion I went to minstrel, breezed through SC and shot Emperor Moloch. Finally got the trident and tried it on Khelavaster and everyone else in Terinyo. Proceeded to slaughter HMV and bandit town. Cleared bug temple. Killed both unicorns. Returned to Dwarftown and murdered everyone there. Felt good. Crowning gave me Boots of the Divine Messenger :(

Dived down for the final battle, useless gift was Long Sting. D50 took some time, but some spells learned before helped greatly. Cleared only main room and some balors that came + Fisty. Equipped everything, waited for extremely corrupted and crossed the gate.

First turn: Andy teleporting near. I drop the crown. I try to uncurse medal and equip Preserver. He casts darkness and confuses me. Game over. No paralysis resistance without Preserver, no time to read SoCRs.

Well, I should have at least wished for speed before entering, maybe it would help. But nevertheless, I needed to waste at least 3 turns for reading at least some SoCR and equipping Preserver. Oh well, underestimated him after last time ;)

You should have uncursed all the chaos stuff prior to entering the chaos plane. It would've taken you ONE turn to unequip the chaos stuff and equip Preserver and the other armor of choice then, and a second to drop the chaos stuff.

Boots of the Divine Messenger would have provided paralyzation resistance.
