Mortimer is my seventh winner. He was easily my most powerful
character. I wanted to try something different this game. This was my
first win with Maces, Heavy Armour, Zin and also first Hill Dwarf and
Fighter since I like to avoid ascending the same race or class
twice(might be hard from here on out as I've ascended my
favorites--Crusader, Gladiator and Monk). Zin was pretty good, but Holy
Word seems to have highly variable damage so you can find yourself in a
lot of trouble if you hit the wrong side of the bell curve.
I originally planned to clear get all the Pandemonium and Tomb runes,
but I lost my will after being stuck in the abyss for an hour and then
failing to even make it to the second level of the Tomb(and barely
escaped with my life) despite heavy use of Holy Word on the Greater
Mummies. Still, I feel good about this win. I got two runes from areas
I'd never entered before and I at least made an effort on the Tomb.
I got lucky w/ a +4, +3 =Slaying and a rod of destruction [ice] quite
early on, but after that this game was a struggle all the way through.
By the time I entered Zot: 4, my standard kit included only +ResMut and
+ResElec--I never found a =ProtectionFire and I had to switch weapons
to get it. The only source of +ElecRes I found all game was a storm
dragon hide(eaten away to -2 by glowing shapeshifters turned acid blobs
in the vestibule of Hell) and I never found a permanent levitation
source--not even a stinking ring. I also lost numerous potions and
scrolls to cold and fire attacks--I finished Zot: 5 with no ?Blinking,
no !HealWounds, no ?Recharging and no charges left in my /Healing.
Speaking of Zot: 5--Don't ever play around there w/o +ResElec. The only
source of electricity resistance I had was a -2 Storm Dragon Armour, so
I eschewed it in favor of the +4 Gold Dragon Armour, figuring I was
buff enough to defeat the lone electric golem.
To make a long story short, I got electrocuted down to very low HP by
an electric golem and electric dragon whipsawing me. I read two scroll
of blinking which moved me about 5 steps total away from the electric
golem. I quaffed !Speed and just ran for the upstairs. Somehow I made
it, but this could easily have been my second cl27 character to die in
Zot. I will *never* enter Zot without Electricity Resistance again,
much less Zot: 5. I would ahve been absolutely fine w/ Storm Dragon
Armour and the Great Mace of the Beast.
I'm not sure what's next. This was a pretty fun game. I might try some
other roguelikes like Quickband. Most roguelikes pale in comparison to
Crawl's unbeatable combination of lightning pace, deadliness and
variety.

Norris (D:25)
12 golden dragons
First hide didn't show up till Zot. I coveted one all game long,
though.
A few things from the vestibule:
(-11, 14, Hell)
the uncursed hand crossbow "Sniper"
A hand crossbow made of some black material.
It poisons the unbranded ammo it fires.
It enhances your eyesight.
a -1,+0 orcish executioner's axe
an uncursed runed eveningstar of protection
the uncursed broad axe of the Volcano
It poisons the flesh of those it strikes.
It affects your AC (+2).
It causes teleportation.
an uncursed runed great mace of disruption
the +3,+2 great mace of the Beast
It emits flame when wielded, causing extra injury to most foes and
up to
double damage against particularly susceptible opponents.
It protects you from fire.
(-10, 15, Hell)
the +3 pair of gloves of Bodily Harmony
It affects your damage-dealing abilities (+1).
(-13, 16, Hell)
6 potions of cure mutation
(-14, 15, Hell)
a +4,+3 ring of slaying
[Used this for a long time, but the +4,+3 seemed less important than
more evasion or regeneration in the end game. I could be wrong though.]
Finally, here is something I thought was funny:
You are in the Abyss.
