Yeah, so I went down the easyish route with my race/class combination, but a first victory is a first victory no matter what!

The character had quite a bit of luck with him, the spellbooks kept flowing and actually contained plenty of offensive spells. I also started with 2 spellbooks of Cure Critical Wounds and 1 of Frost Bolt. I started by descending through the UD (where I discovered Ironfist in a vault - nice in the beginning). Then the druid dungeon, whose bottom level was chock full of assorted felines. After trying to manoeuvre around them for a while, I thought "screw it" and blasted them into oblivion, so no cat ring for me. Guth'Alak gave me the Frost Bolt book, which definitely did come in handy later on.

Got a bunch of herbs from various places and got my stats, especially toughness, to look a lot better. Also discovered many PoGAs. Things went pretty smooth from here - did the Thrundarr quests without troubles, acquired the elemental gauntlets (bye Ironfist!) + Sword of Nonnak from the graveyard and visited the Pyramid on the same trip, getting the ankh + wrapping. Then cleared the Darkforge for some exp and stuff - randomly picked up some weapons from the stash in the hopes they'd be artifacts, and one of them actually was staff of the archmagi. Nothing to write home about, but fun to get anyway. No match for sword of Nonnak + eternium shield though.

This time I also managed to not die in the ToEF! My previous promising wizard killed himself with a nastily bouncing Magic Missile, but this time I had plenty of castings in my Frost Bolt which was better anyway and had no chance of backfiring. So my first char to slay the ACW became my first char to win too. From the ToEF to the TotHK, got the ring, and back to CoC it was. Visited the Casino but opted to leave it alone, trying not to kill myself with any stupidities at this point. Killed the battle bunnies by spamming Lightning Ball, no problems with them. I wish ball spells were more common. Avoided the Cat Lord by finding the down staircase quick - not going to take any chances there either.

Air Temple + Yulgash went quickly, as he didn't summon anything too threatening. Before the Earth Temple I hit a red dragon vault, which was nice due to the fact that my fire resistance was at a ToEF-proof level. Earth Temple was easy too. After that I stumbled upon a greater vault full of fire monsters. I was running low on Frost Bolt castings and decided to clear the outer area with Lightning Bolt/Magic Missile. This took a long time and was very very tedious, but paid off, as I could then blast the inner room with Frost Bolt and rocket from level 31 all the way to 50 by killing those great red wyrms. Plenty of nice stuff was acquired. The Mana Temple was not easy. The eyes took all my mana away, but luckily I had a nice stash of wands which I used to blast as many monsters as I could. Finally Nuurag-Vaarn came out. I tried to lead him away along the trap-laden path and he then proceeded to promptly kill me. Thank God for the AoLS from the greater vault! Managed to run away to the previous level, reconsider my situation, charge back and Acid Ball the shit out of him.

Then I went happily to D:48, where I realized I had dropped all my 'tool's (with the :d command, trying to get rid of the sis) at the inner gate of the Mana Temple after my Strength of Atlas ceased working and I had not enough magic to cast it again. Cursed myself for not realizing the orbs were tools as well, returned, grabbed them from the trap tunnel (some monster had helpfully dragged them there) and went back to D:48. Did the stuff there, tossed random potions and such around at D:49 (no uselessness though), cleared the first few rooms of D:50 and took the secret doors to the levers and gave them the usual handle + zap treatment. From there it was just teleporting back to the surface, visiting Yrruir and getting out of there. Alive. It was around 6 AM, but damn was I happy to have made it.

Congratulations. Easy class/race or no, a victory is a victory. I actually just got a win within the past 2 weeks using the same combo, my first as well, so I know how awesome it must feel. Anyways, good job, and congratulations.

Seeing all these Gray Elven wizards saving the world
just makes my heart sing with joy : )

> my first char to slay the ACW became my first char to win

That's pretty cool. It seems you smartly stayed away from the
#1 PC killer, the Cat Lord. That guy has probably killed more
promising PC's than any other. It's also surprising that you lived
through your first battle with the Archmage. It's really lucky
you had that AoLS equipped! Shame he got the satisfaction of
semi-killing you. You forget to equip the AMW before fighting him?

Really I suppose there wasn't much point in clearing D:50,
considering you were already at exp. level 50 anyway. What's
next, a melee win or an Ultra?

Congratulations to you too, then. :)

Yep.

What's next, a melee win or an Ultra?
Next is a little break, but I guess I'll be going for a plain old regular win with a melee character after that. That should keep me relatively busy for a while.

Congratulations!
During my first (and only) victory I had to throw blankets and some other *useful* staff, because I forgot to take anything :) On the way back I discovered, that you can pick up items that are on your way, while sliding, if you have auto pickup option on :) but cooked lizards make me laugh xD

congratulations!

I always prefered spell casters, but ironically, I got farthest when I started swinging a sword around... as a female grey elf wizard... and I accidentally starved to death... at level 14...

I don't know how I manage to forget that gods save you in this game.
