It doesn't explode if you aren't wearing it at the time you kill the cat, and you can even put it back on afterward and continue using it. In my case, there was a cat generated inside the Earth...

This game was originally an attempt at a 5K speedrun. It started...

I'm dead. But I survived my first turn, so at least I'm a Ghost Lord... :)

14000: Pray in the rich room for a while.
14746: A gorgon approaches, so I leave and lock the door behind me.

I'll start taking turns shortly. I'm not actually very optimistic about making it to the scepter alone since I don't have any ironman experience and the character really isn't very strong right...

gut:

The only really important thing is getting teleport and teleport control very early on (almost immediately after bug-killing), along with some mechanism of fast healing. I think my game shows...

I'll take my turn now, and I'll try to undo some of the damage that JellySlayer did to this character... or maybe I'll just die.

Okay, I didn't die, and the character should be much better off...

The score is low simply because I had low experience at the end -- I didn't kill a single balor. (So yes, because I did the WoD ending.) Low turncount increases score by a lot, but experience is...

Lizard, the drakish wizard, saved the world with her brave efforts and
became a great ruler while saving herself 6 times.
She scored 87739356 points and advanced to level 43.
She survived for 0...

Yes, I have Wi 32 with Nonnak and the Water Orb, so lightning ball will be useful. I've been fortunate enough to find two blessed fireproof blankets, so I can bring in wands and healing potions, but...

What do I need invis for? It might be nice, but I've never viewed it as that essential. Certainly not worth going to the ID after swearing off the ID for this game... Frost bolt also seems...

First, a few comments to gut:

I hadn't realized that one could kill the druid before talking with Kherab and still get the reward... isn't this sort of strange? I've made the mistake before of...

An uneventful turn. Food was a little short at times (mainly because I didn't know that burdened increases food consumption -- stupid IGB), but it averaged out at the end. The current vlg is here.

I'll join and take my turn shortly.

I killed 30 dark orcs in total -- 9 on my first turn and 21 on my second.

Tapi stole all my dark orc corpses. He got two.

Well, I died. To the Abyss I go!

And I would have been fine if one of 21 dark orcs had deigned to leave a corpse behind... I was not having any difficulty killing them, and the room was nearly...

(Grey, aren't you going to open the Chaos Gate for me? ;) It obviously doesn't matter, but still...)

I'll take my turn now. I'll probably die and be cast into the Abyss, but I do have a couple of...

Well, I survived... but it was really a marathon (many thanks to all who commented on #ancardia for their help, especially Soirana and Silfir!) and I may well be Abyssed now.

I tried to include...

I'll take my turn in about 45 minutes or so -- come watch me die!

I will begin my turn shortly.

Edit:
Okay, that was unexciting. But we gained lots of levels! The highlights:

Items found: many rocks, a boomerang, a bandage, magenta potion, brass amulet,...

Barely still alive, but survival for the next player will be difficult, I think...
