998803 MilkmannDa MiBe-25 escaped with the Orb!
Good for him. Took me about a month before I broke my New Year's
resolution.
I had another MiBe going but the mutations were so bad that I gave him
up and started this one. I went with light armor + dodging and used
aquirements on rods. I should've made more use of abjuration (more than
not using it at all) and maybe summoning for blockers but I did use
repel missiles a lot. I got some use from bolt of cold and fire but
wands are handier if you can spare the charges.
MiBes have an interesting endgame. I don't remember ever coming so
close to dying on Zot 5. I ended up teleporting a lot. Finally I
teleported right next to the Orb, stupidly went berserk, and nearly
died there with the Orb.
One odd thing about the game was that I found maybe four or five
artifact bows. A couple or three had no special ability, one let me
teleport (if I remember right), and one had sense surroundings. I kept
the one of speed, which turned up in the midgame. The item haul in
general was poor to fair-- no really interesting weapons or armor, not
even a hat. Which is good, really. I suspected that my earlier win with
a MiBe hinged on the excellent items in that game. Trog did come
through early on with an artifact hammer that granted poison
resistance.
I also wanted to run a MiBe through as it seemed a long time since
anybody's posted a VP with one. Erik messed that up a little with his
recent Troll berserker speed run post, but eh.

Inventory:
Hand weapons
a - a +9,+7 dwarven great mace of crushing (weapon) (2932 gold)
b - the +5,+0 bow "Vovpnfraaawodi" (405 gold)
It allows its wielder to fire twice when they would otherwise have
fired
only once.
Q - a +2,+2 knife (61 gold)
Missiles
d - 33 +2 arrows (198 gold)
Armour
g - a +7 elven chain mail of magic resistance (worn) (2823 gold)
//Magic resistance worked out OK. At least I didn't get sent to the
Abyss or anything like that. I would've preferred fire or cold, though.
Speaking of resistances, I never found a handy source of insulation,
not that it mattered. Decent evasion plus repel missiles meant not
having to worry much about resistances in general. Fire orbs and
electric golems were still worth worrying about, just not *in general*.
You have to worry about each specific one, at least with standard
fighter types.
m - the +0 pair of gloves of Yqet Huqiho (worn) (458 gold)
It affects your intelligence (+3).
It lets you turn invisible.
It lets you sense your surroundings.
//Bought 'em unID'd. Pretty blah, and post-Slime Pits, too.
D - the +3 pair of boots of the Armoured One (worn) (487 gold)
It protects you from fire.
It protects you from poison.
It makes you much more stealthy.
//Actually had more than I needed for footwear. I also found boots of
running and levitation. Maybe I should've used the runners but stealth
is handy for melee specialists.
U - a +2 elven cloak of magic resistance (worn) (203 gold)
Magical devices
e - a wand of fire (11) (144 gold)
h - a wand of disintegration (5) (111 gold)
//Carried one of these around forever and never really needed it, other
than for some digging.
i - a wand of random effects (11) (138 gold)
//Must've been autopickup.
p - a wand of draining (12) (204 gold)
s - a wand of teleportation (

(78 gold)
t - a wand of digging (3) (48 gold)

//The standard three-rune victory has for me become the standard
three-rune-plus-the-one-from-the-slime-pits-if-it's-there victory.

//I had maces and flails off quite a bit. I'm pretty sure this is my
only winner that didn't max any skills. Because of the dodging? I see I
should've had throwing off. I don't recall deliberately training
unarmed. I spent plenty of time training armor and dodging.
