It's my 4th win overall and 1st one with a race different than orc.
The name of the character corresponds to Nissan Almera - my first old car, that I sold on the same day when the dwarven barbarian entered the Ancardia to save it from chaos invasion. I dedicate this win to all Almera's users.
-Crowning: just below Dwarftown, mixed sacrifices - gold, Nonnak's sword and monsters. Result: Lightning immunity and Death's Blade - disappointment. Decision was made to go further with Big Punch on hand.
- Most dangerous part of the game was a fight in red dragon vault on level 5 of Haggar Caves. Once I was surrounded by ARD and had to pray later in a long solo fight with red wyrm hp went down to 7. However high speed and rapid regeneration helped to survive (it was not worth it, in the vault there was a Staff of Wanderer that was sacrificed quickly).
- Also, Mana Temple was a hard crossing. At start I realized, that I don't have any sources of light. When I came to main chamber, to lure Varn out, he surprisingly started to chase me. Because of darkness he casted, I experienced a lot of equipment loss in trapped corridor. Eventually I hammered him with Big Punch at the doorstep of it.
- D:50 was also difficult. Till I had enough arrows and quarrels it was quite good. But when it came to fight with balors - it started to be hot. I had to use all the scrolls I had on entry (12), but finally last balor was slain. Funny thing was, that I found jinni and asked for wands of destruction. He gave me two of them, but both with no charger. And I realized that I don't have any possibility of charging them (I didn't wanted to risk using 0 charge, not to be surrounded by balors, but later on I somehow blasted it, I guess on the open lever - luckily it was with no effect).
Some interesting numbers:
- 7 wishes! (found wand of wishing and 2 jinni rings). Here is orders list:
1. Fireproof blankets (=oDS)
2. Find weakness (WoW)
3. Girdle of giant strength (WoW)
4. Scrolls of corruption removal (WoW)
5. Potion of gain attributes (WoW)
6. Wands of cold (WoW)
7. Wands of destruction (=oDS)
- 14 ?oCR used (1 from HMV, 4 from mystic, 5 from Minstrel, 3 from wish, and 1 rewritten).
- 5 times corruption stiffed muscles! (I was thinking that RNG wants to show me, that my 14 scrolls will be not enough).
Nice flavors:
1. In the CoC graveyard a fortune cookie found - Scrap of paper in it warned about graveyards.
2. Mad Minstrel chatted before given a Weird Tome sang a song about it (on first approach).
End log showed that plenty of artifacts have been not found by me, including so desired Vanquisher.
