starting skills weren't all that great,but having healing and herbalism i went straight to the small cave, and at UD2 herbs with L altar in UD4 got me the 3 pre crowns the dv is at agressive mode, and the weapon in hand is the one i used for most of the game, resorting to phase dagger when needed.
didn't talk to mystyc as i was lawful, and didnt get any wishes until the wery endso really thought corruption would be a problem, but when identifying my gear just before last dive i had on me 3 rings of djinn summoning wished for girdle of giant strenght and scrolls of chaos resisstance leaving last for when needed, seems i didn't need it
at L50 walls were undiggable so i killed everything exept the big room in the middle using wand of destruction on both handles after clearing both tunnels and a note here, killed every "boss" in melee (not the carmic wyrt ofcourse)
mana temple was easy as i read a vermincontrol there, so they didn't multiply
Headed down to the end game at 41 couse i had already like 6 corruptions and the day was past 90 so figured i had all i needed and just went for it.

[Silfir]

...Vermin control works against summoners? I don't buy it.

I routinely enter D:50 in the mid-thirties if I know I can kill the balors, because that'll get me to 50 anyway, if I didn't get there before thanks to a lucky vault.

In any case, many congratulations!

[Grey]

IronFist and Preserver in the early game? Bound to help things a bit Y'know, I find it odd that you used that sword all game and never blessed it. You know that blessed weapons (melee and missiles) cause an extra 50% damage against demons and undead?

Good game anyway - congratulations on your first victory. Bards are a really nice class once you get decent stats and equipment for them (my first win was with a bard too). Also, I quite like how you've changed the "uncursed" string to just "-", so it looks like there's no uncursed string at all. Might have to try that some time...

[riktikticheck]

oh right the blessing of the weapons... i knew about it, but i guess it slipped my mind, for the start of the game i actually used a mithril axe of devastation, didn't find that until later in the game, now that you mention t i think my phasedagger was uncursed too, and i had like 23 holywaters in the end (the dragon valuts dropped loads of water) and i didn't use spells much, getting concentration late and not having deacent spellbooks left my mana low andthe L18 spells included deathray, petrification and magic lock
and yeah the pre crownings helped alot, actually it went like this: i go straight for small cave, manage to survive there, herbs on ud2 altar on ud4, when i leave ud i was 14 with 3 precrownings

oh and about vermin control, atleast i didn't see a single chaos servant or a mass of primal chaos (what ever) in there, so i guess they didn't summon any...
