Yay, now I've ascended all the roles in 3.4.x vanilla Nethack.
The final role I had to push through the Dungeon was Rogue. Propably not
the most typical to be the last one to ascend.
After my Extinctionist, I had 10 unsuccessful rogues and 8 other random
characters my script gave me to get killed. Best of the rogues managed to
finish Sokoban and the Mines before got killed by a bolt of fire on dlvl
10.
The rogue number 11 had an uneventful start. To do something different
this time, I made a choice not to use any artifact weapons. Two +7
crysknives did the trick. Very Nice, I might add.
I didn't have MR nor reflection until I got a fountain wish for a GDSM
around 20k or so turns. This calculated risk was taken after an arch-lich
was detected at the Medusa's. Actually, before I got back down to
Medusa's, a b?Geno was used to get rid of Ls.
Castle wand was used for "Reflection (BoH from Sokoban), [Speed and =Lev.
After this, I was kitted enough to do the Quest. Blessed geno'ed n to
avoid the annoyance in the Quest. After I managed to get in the right part
of the Master Assasin's cave, he was a push over.
Found the VS on dlvl:44 and portal to Rodney on dlvl:41, but had to search
for Vlad a long time.
After Rodney fell to /Death, it was propably the fastest late game I've
ever had, atleast in real-time. I skipped exploring the Sanctum, had
[Displacement and =Conflict, used travel command a lot, and mysterious
force was very nice to me.
I didn't use conflict on Astral, displacement made traveling easy
enough. The second altar was the right one.
