    Default Third win - Orcish Beastfighter

    Yet another melee-enthusiast. I picked an orcish beastfighter because they don't ge double-trained in any skill and starts out with Find Weakness, Mining and nice stats for the early game. My impression is that Beastfighters are just a slightly weaker version of Barbarians, although starting with both Healing and Herbalism they have a source of cold ready for ToTHK. The speed bonus is nice, but the reduced action bonus comes a bit late, although incredibly good.

    In this game I focused on pickpocketing, and wanted to get crowned Lawful. Because of the pickpocketing I had never any problems with Holy Water or potions of youth/longevity and I had all the slaying ammo I needed. This was a big contrast too my last game, where I didn't even get Treasure Hunter. Pickpocketing makes a change, but is really boring to do. I tried some Scurgari's and boomerangs in this game, but found out I failed to catch the boomerang so often it quickly became irritating. Changed to bows and crossbows, used them extensively.
    I farmed a lot of herbs, maxing Will, Dex and Toughness, but this felt a bit wrong and took a LOT of time.

    Visited a lot of places, worth noting was the Library, where I first didn't get the Tome (probably because of pickpocketing, as in Assassins Guild). Then I nearly got aged to death by a Shadow Wyrm (aged me to 32 years, almost choked). And in the meantime it killed off the librarian, hence my Character's name. So no scrolls for me.

    I tried out the mazes, but even with Detect Traps at 100 and two rings of searching I got engulfed in every single corruption trap I saw. Gave up, as my Beastie didn't really have any need for the Minotaur Axe anyway :P

    Experience was never a problem (had Good Learner), had 400 HP in the Tower and water temple, and in the late 30s in Air and Earth temples. Level 46 in Mana temple, got two levels. Cat Lord was easy as well with Webbing and Humanoid slaying ammo.

    After closing the gate, I explored some more, did the Blue Dragon Caves for Sharad-Wadoor, and then proceeded to do the Filk quest (he was at I:38 as my first kill was hobgoblin (one of the best imo)). Talked to him and got the message that he wanted the Mad Minstrel dead. But I killed him anyway, because I wanted to try out the Emperor Moloch. The Corruption in his level was incredible (didn't stop after closing the gate), I got 3 corruptions by exploring the level and killing him. And he was incredibly tough (not hard). It took about 20-30 Humanoid slayers I think, and some Penetrating arrows as well (worked much better). Got the crumpled scroll, but Khelavaster was dead anyway.

    Visited the Bug Village briefly, but found they hit hard even now, and wouldn't risk anything so close to leaving the Chain. Left after 78 days and 119000 turns (Beastfighter with 7LBs is incredible).

    Two greater vaults where created, on D:37 and D:47 (i think). Giants went down easy(Ring of Imunity nice, and some weapon), Undead was a bit worse. Killed off the lesser ones, let the main room and artifacts alone. Plenty of lesser vaults: Blue Dragons, Golems, Daemons, Undead etc.

    A Ki-Rin spawned in Blue Dragon Caves lvl 2. Killed it to get it on the list, not difficult at all, but dropped to L even with Amulet of Order. Killed an Emperor Lich that spawned in the Scintillating Caves (got in the habit of walkin around in AMW for death protection (Had Nature's Companion too) and wearing an AoLS). Tension rooms of Ghost Kings and Doppleganger was left alone (would have been tedious to shoot the Ghost Kings, and the Doppleganger Kings was a bit tough (hit for 100-200 points and very effective confusion) when lvl 50). A gorgon in the Big Room surprised me early in the game btw.

    Nice Job man.

    How bad was the item destruction in the blue dragon caves?

    Thanks!

    Not too bad item destruction, much worse in the Lesser Blue Dragon Vault (dropped all items there).
    Since I had closed the gate, I just wore the ring of immunity and brought all my equipment in there. Most of my equipment were artifacts, and I probably could've meleed Ancient Blue Wyrm if need be (1150HP). But I had ridicolous amounts of equipment from pickpocketing and Treasure Hunter, so hard to say what I lost.

    But as the guidebook states, lightning will never destroy any metal, and rarely potions. Only scrolls and books are destroyed easily, and is best left behind. I would probably leave 7LBs (at least main pair) and GoGSs behind too, though in this game neither of my two pairs of 7LBs got destroyed.
