The result of generous start-scumming, I ascended a foodless-atheist character
using the last of the speculated strategies for this tricky combo: finishing
the game before your nutrition runs out. I aimed to prove that with a ring of
slow digestion, the 900 initial nutrition points can last a whole game.
Accordingly, I never life-saved, "new"-poly'd, or quaffed potions of
juice/booze; the nutrition counter decreased monotonically for the
duration. This game took 11662 turns (about 3.5 hours), or just a little
past the 'hungry' spot.
Besides the required =oSD, I started with identify, charging, and a marker. An
armor shop on dlvl2 had speed boots, gauntlets of dexterity, and a +1 pointy
hat. Itzak sold me two magic lamps.
Okay, bear with me, the rest of the game wasn't all *that* easy. Really.
After checking out mine town, I headed on down to grab some gems and the luck
stone. On the way I practiced identifying and soon had basic in divination. A
wolf beneath mine town dropped... another magic lamp. Two of the lamps turned
out to be blessed, so I had the mkot and +2 SDSM by the time I got up.
By sokoban, I had gathered 10 potions of water and knew about scrolls of
remove curse and confuse monster, so that gave me holy and unholy water. I
blessed and rubbed the last lamp for a bag of holding. A bones pile on dlvl 19
contributed lots of scrolls and potions, but otherwise the rest of the
dungeons was uneventful. Got the wand at 6760. (0:1), but I can't complain. I
wished for cursed scrolls of genocide, summoned some black unicorns and maxed
luck. The rest of the wishes eventually went to two more markers and a ring of
conflict (by the portal to Air). Dropped down to Gehennom, levelport back to
level 15 for the quest (incubi gave me xlvl 11-14), gate back to Gehennom.
With the new markers, I wrote magic mapping, jumping (in case of congested
astral doorway, never used), charm monster (never used), remove curse (also
never used after advancing to skilled for blessed ?oRC effect) and detect
monster (way cooler than telepathy). Thus prepared, I proceeded to do hell the
privileged way, mapping every level and digging paths. Do vlad, gate back to
the mines because I forgot candles, gate back, map, map, kill orcus, map, find
VS, and the rest is, as they say, the rest.
A few peculiarities. Fire vortices are scary without fire resistance. Use
magic missiles. A single stray punch could be fatal. On the other hand, the
spell of extra healing goes a long way when your max hp is 78. Also, conflict
was used sparingly. I only put it on for the last 20 turns or so of Astral,
even leaving it off for air, preferring to burn /oD charges on the
elementals. Likewise for =oL; a blessed potion of levitation got me through
the entire middle planes.
Did I mention intrinsics? This post is subtitled "Intrinsics are For Wimps". I
had sleep (racial), see invisible (throne), speed (wand), and invisibility
(wand). I never got poison, shock, cold, disintegration, or telepathy at any
point in the game, and, save the couple turns I wore =oFR to cross the Sanctum
moat, fire as well. Fire traps shaved off fewer than 20 hp. With half physical
damage and -28 AC, minotaurs barely tickled, anyway. I drank 5 b!oEH after
getting to Astral to be on the safe side.
All in all a distastefully lucky game, but mission accomplished.
