Well, this is the first time I beat ADOM. I started an Orcish Barbarian that was quite lucky in the beginning. He picked up some decent equipment, including the Seven League Boots, but they were destroyed early on. After wasting so much time trying to save Khelly and getting the stuff needed for the Tower of Eternal Flames (first time I did it), I was wondering what I should do.

One thing I made a point of was visiting the stupid Cat Lord for the first time. Oh my god, he was unbelievably hard. By far the hardest opponent in the game that I have faced yet. He took like 20 slaying ammo hits while webbed up and a tremendous blow on beserk, and I still didn't kill him...he eventually ran away in panic and I just hunted the Kitty Lord down with more slaying ammo.

I feed the Ratling and eventually did the Gaaby quests, but didn't follow through on the Ultra Ending attempt. I made all of Teryino mad at me, because I attacked Munix after he went into a rage because I had the unholy aura corruption, so I was just like "Screw this, I'm gonna get get crowned." The neutral god gave me Grod, which pissed me off further. So I decided to go on a suicide quest to the 50th level, at a mere level 28. I had a few close calls, but I was able to clear out the 50th level without too much difficulty. I picked up my first wand of wishing ever on the 50th level, but never got to use it, as I had the mana battery corruption. Gained like 10 levels there, as well as becoming very corrupt. So when I left the Drakalor Chain, I got a crappy ending.

After he leaves the Drakalor Chain he is welcomed by his people with great
honors. They acknowledge his noble deeds, his valor, his cunning and his
great skills that helped to prevent the complete destruction of the world he
knows. His severe taint by the forces of Chaos prevents him from ever
leading a normal life. He always remembers the glorious deeds that took his
life away. His sacrifice is remembered in the stories of his people, but not
in their hearts. He ends his life in loneliness and isolation.

[Silfir]

First of all, congratulations are due!

Why didn't you do the unicorn quest? Simple forgetfulness?

[someone7]

I didn't really wanna play anymore. I figured the sooner I get out of the Drakalor Chain, the sooner I can solidify my first victory. If I would have known that Orthos would have a crappy life afterwards, I probably would have done the quest. It's almost like ADOM is taunting me, this time to play again and get a better ending...but I am gonna have to put that off till after final exams.

3 or 4 of those divine interventions were simply me being too lazy to pick up food in the end game. I really didn't even care for my characters' safety at that point. I'm surprised I was able to win being so wreckless.

[gut]

Yay!

Here's to throwing caution to the wind, and mindlessly
bashing evildoers! As for the corruptions, who cares?
Let's face it, orcs aren't the loveliest creatures on the
face of Ancardia to start with. I say a few well placed
scales and antanea would be an improvement for most.
Besides, with SLB's and a source of invisibility it's not
like he'd get TOO lonely, right? ; )

[Ars]

Maybe he's ugly, but he's still got charisma at 40. So he should have at least something going for him anyhow.

[Silfir]

Appearance at 1? Weeeeell... Can't see that going down well with the ladies...

Neither the thorns and scales. Ouch.

[gut]

Acid breath might not be such a boon either...

"Hey baby, how about we go back to my cave for
a wh- *splush*."

"AAAAAAHHH!!!!"

"Whoops."

[Silfir]

If you think about it more closely (you really shouldn't), I think the "your body is extremely thin and nimble" thing (considering there is likely not any kind of exception for any part of said body...) also might prove a tad... disappointing for the opposite sex, even if he could get beyond his burning desire to slaughter anything close to him an a fit of never-dying rage. ("Is that... all of it?" - "Um, well, y'know... YOU JUST MADE JEST OF MY HULKING MANHOOD DIE DIE DIE!!!!")

Or the fact that he's going to be prone to disappear during the act at the most inopportune moments, and show up inside nearby royal palaces during council meetings.

(Okay, I think these posts need to stop...)

[warheart]

You're so freaking crazy, but I must admit I had some good laughs while reading this thread :D

[someone7]

Yeah, I'm surprised this thread is so popular. Guess people like making fun of poor, ugly, extremely thin penis'd Orthos...

I got some other stuff in the flg file I didn't post, if anyone is interested (mostly just tons of crappy stuff I was lugging around, and all the monsters I killed).

[gut]

Gotta say, the antannae could be useful, but the unholy aura
could really put a damper on a fine evening.

"You know, your not like all the other orcs. I mean, looks don't
really matter that much to me. I just want a nice guy who's
gonna treat me right and be there fo... AHHH! HOLY CRAP! GET\
AWAY FROM ME YOU FIEND! AHHHHH! HELLLLP!!!"

[Silfir]

"Look into my eyes and you will see how much I love you..."

*stares into 12 eyes* "How sweet!... I guess?"
