Well, title says most of it, I died on D:50. Didn't realize the difference between D:48's monsters and D:50's was so huge - I could barely clear out one of the lever rooms without getting several corruptions and spending all my power points. Most of this was rushed, as well - Day 90 passed in the *tower*, so most of the temples defeated were "kill the boss and leave"; I ended up using the Unicorn's cleansing just after the mana temple because I had about 10 corruptions.

At the end I just went berserk and tried to get a balor on my kill list. Didn't work :(

The fight with Nuurag-vaarn was funny, at least to me; I ended up using melee with the poison hands corruption (does poison stack? if I poison him 3 times is that 3 times as bad?), as he was shrugging off all my acid bolts.

Here's the flg:

I only found one scroll of chaos resistance, never a writing set. I also didn't visit the rift or the library, and I couldn't save khelavaster. I decided not to do the blue dragon caves, fearing item destruction and thinking it'd be far too hard for me. The dwarven mystic gave me nothing useful.

For crowning I got fire immunity and staff of the wanderer (woo shock immunity and +6 TO). For a while I could simply bash stuff to death, though the supergrues (960 hp grues, wow) on D:48 forced me to switch to run-and-acidbolt tactics.

On the bright side though, this was my very first character to EVER kill the Ancient Chaos Wyrm! And everything past; that was pretty nice to finally experience :D

Poison stacks... That's what makes it so strong. As for blue dragons, they're not so hard. Leave the most valuable equipment on the stairs before going into the cave. The deeper you go into the cave, the stronger the dragons are... so just find the level which you can handle the best, hmm?

As you kill more dragons, they become harder and harder as their level increases. To kill the dragons without increasing their number on your kill list, kill them with alarm traps. Yes, they will breathe lightning and destroy a lot of really good stuff (scrolls, spellbooks, potions), that's why you stay invisible (only ancient dragons see invisible, stay on an earlier level which doesnt have them, and by this time you really should have the ring or a cloak of invisibility) and pay close attention to what remains after a dragon as soon as it dies.

You did well to go from the Tower to D50 without dying :) I'd say in future you should consider investing in high piety so that you can pray for PP or HP as needed - almost all my spellcasters end up using several prayers to restore PP on D50.

Strange that the shock immunity doesn't show that it's gained through an item.

Congrats on the near win. Maybe you can pull it off next time. =)
I always do the library for SoCR.

I had shock immunity from level 40 druid and from the weapon; I guess it just doesn't show up if you have multiple sources.

Next time I won't dawdle in the wilderness so much - going from Terinyo to the Tomb to the PC without blessed SLB really hurt my time.
