Promising Trollish Healer

[nathrakh]

Hello, I've been playing ADOM for few years now.. quite seldomly. I stumbled on these forums actually just few days ago and decided to register today. Hello everyone.

Ok so I decided to make my first victory in ADOM. Natural choice was trollish healer (although not Candle-sign, I chose Cup so I could maybe learn spells more easily and the faster leveling is ok-ish too).. The start was promising; I found mithril two-handed sword (+4, 3d5+2) [-1, +0] (but it turned out to be cursed some time later, so no gauntlets) as I was level 1 in SMC. I found the blanket and stairs to UD but didn't go further down. I was already level 4, the mobs started to actually damage my troll so I decided to go save the puppy.

It all went smoothly, I had absolutely no problems there and I was quite surprised to see the puppy alive (I'm almost always too late rescueing it and find only the poor remains).. I also found black altar in some point but I wanted to turn neutral and maybe lawful before Dwarftown so I didn't use it. (After that I found none)..

Then I did the druid quest, it was really easy too, the druid had no chance against my slingshot rocks. I took the wand of cold (RotHK in my mind) and the Frost Bolt book as I already had Herbalism (and I haven't used Gardening ever). I got kinda lot of potions, wands and scrolls by stairscummin in ID. I also found blink dog corpse and ate it. I got level 10 fast and thought it was time for CoC.

Nothing quite special there. I found pool and got lucky, aging, cursed and then it dried away. :( I got to the arena level, bought some lizards (yummy :D). I decided to leave the fighting for later. I descended deeper and got to the big room. I quickly organized the remaining herbs to 2x2 patterns and started harvesting them with precrowning and stat raising in mind. It all went quite smoothly even without pacifying the room. Some breeders appeared from time to time but I got rid of them. Then as I was already thinking of leaving soon... Ghost Lord (?) appeared from nowhere and I was too slow from all the "chunk". (Bad pun, gotta admit :D) Well it drained my stats and aged me to death... :(
