[S] YAAP: Kort-Pri-Elf-Fem-Neu

This was my second priest ascension and well... I haven't counted
exactly, but not yet my tenth ascension anyway.

Kort was born after a YAAD and YASD:

100350 Mezereon-Cav-Dwa-Fem-Law died in The Dungeons of Doom
on level 16. Killed by a magical blast. - [88]

YAAD: Many wands exploded after a throne room had a gnoll (!) that
surprised me and zapped something that exploded most of my wands.

78325 ketoni-Fla-Hob-Mal-Neu was crushed to death in
Grund's Stronghold on level 13 [max 18]. Crushed to
death by an exploding drawbridge. 34 [73]

YASD: I didn't pick up the wand of striking, which a centaur picked up
and zapped.

"Kort" means 'short' in Swedish because I suspected her life would be
short. Then a random character turned out to be an Elf, which was kind
of fitting because I have been reading J.R.R. Tolkien's collected works,
where the Elven city in Valinor was first called Kortirion. :>

The blessing technique is really useful and powerful. I wonder if it
does work if a two-handed weapon is welded to your hands? ... Wizmode
testing says 'yes'!

I don't keep notes so I don't remember many things from the beginning.
I remember doing the mines before Sokoban. I had a surprise in the
mines: I got the message "You feel charismatic!" -- and there was a tame
baby green dragon next to me. That's the magic trap taming effect. I
kept him with me, which was annoying since I had no magic whistle. And
I couldn't find a potion of gain level before after Sokoban. So I got a
green dragon eventually, who liked to off certain stingy shopkeepers.

I genocided liches early because they cause summoning storms. Ditto for
ghoul mages and vampire mages

I had no magic resistance until the castle where I floated in through
the back door. The armour storeroom had it.

Sacrificing produced Disrupter, which is good against the undead. Then
I found eg. Werebane, Demonbane, Deathsword, Hellfire and Serpent's
Tongue lying around. And Fire Brand in Vlad's Tower.

I thought about going wishless but my AC was rather dismal, at least
when I considered the earlier death on the Plane of Fire. I wanted to
use a robe of power and I a dragon scale mail put a dent on some spell
skills. So I wished for gauntlets of dexterity, and in the end also a
blessed figurine of a solar. I applied the figurine in the Frankenstein
level (to be able to escape possible bad consequences), and got a tame
solar, who I named 'Tappaja' (means killer in Finnish). He took care of
monsters after that. A gypsy could take a few points of his HP, at
least.

The lack of the mysterious force is very nice on the ascension run in
Gehennom. Oh, and I found a spellbook of cure sickness next to the
Wizard's tower!

On the Astral Plane, I chose the left altar with Famine first. It was
the correct one! Oh yeah, I did a mistake when trying to teleport some
priests and angels away--the corpse of Famine was in the way and he
became alive again. Not a real problem, though. Pestilence would've
been much less nicer. Well, I had charges in wands of death.

And I brought 4 potions of booze to the demigod(dess) bar (in the bag of
holding)!

Some parts of a dump follow:

There is an altar to Thoth (neutral) here.
