Prior to taking on Morgoth
Artifact spoiler
Bailin had a pretty easy time of it, honestly. Unlike several previous characters, he found good randart weapons and was able to keep his stats up without too much trouble.
A few excerpts from the notes I made as I went along are below. Incidentally, notes are buggy: the game stops you from adding text well after the actual cutoff point in the file. I know I re-wrote several of these notes to fit into what I thought was the space limit, but they were truncated after...looks like 64 characters.
387532 2150' 33 Second pair of boots of speed (first +5, second +6).
426450 2650' 35 Oh goody, Raal's. Utterly useless to a rogue.
448805 3100' 36 Found The Pair of Leather Boots of Serog
448815 3100' 36 Boots of +12 speed and rpois/nexus. Woot.
448920 3100' 36 And a Drolem right down the corridor. How apropos.
455702 3100' 37 !Mana seems to be a bit too common. I have 20 of the
things already
455702 3100' 37 Compare 4 Healing, 3 *Healing*.
463380 3100' 37 Man, Teleport Other is such a good solution for Death Molds.
463380 3100' 37 Way better than trying to tunnel around them all the
time.
465653 0' 37 Why is Satisfy Hunger, of all things, so hard to cast?
465753 0' 37 Not even Haste Self is harder!
480946 3300' 39 Grandmaster mystic summons hounds, gets diddly.
480946 3300' 39 Suits me fine, but is presumably a bug.
494314 3500' 40 Azriel doesn't get angels when he summons, either.
525689 0' 41 Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and Satisfy
Hunger at 29% fail
526552 3800' 41 All I get from Kelek's is Bedlam. No Destruction, no
Banishment
526552 3800' 41 Why would I *ever* use this book? It's just wasted
space!
530968 0' 42 Why is Esc the only way to get out of browsing
spellbooks?
543866 0' 43 I just realized. That aggravating gold DSM I found?
Boosts stealth
549137 4100' 44 Finally, at clvl 44 and INT 18/140, Satisfy Hunger
hits 5% fail
559868 4500' 45 I think this game has a fetish for elemental
immunities.
559868 4500' 45 This is, what, the fourth randart with imElec I've
found?
562013 4500' 46 The problem with items in graveyards is the drujs.
563370 4500' 47 Especially those f**king hand drujs and their
teleport-away spell
563400 4500' 47 Please to get saving throw against that one.
563951 4500' 47 Screw it, it's banishment time.
563953 4500' 47 Goodbye, drujs!
567211 4800' 47 Oh hello, greater demon pit.
567839 4800' 47 ...hang on, what happened to my demon pit?
567839 4800' 47 Nothing left but pit fiends, horned reapers, and one
lonely greater balrog
570301 4800' 48 Interesting, the way charge-drain works...
570301 4800' 48 Carrying lots of drainables reduces the odds the
important ones get hit.
576907 4850' 48 Bug: can always try and fail to repair randart armor
with - to-hit
581728 5000' 49 Enter level 100. "This seems a quiet, peaceful place."
Ha!
583748 5000' 49 Morgy summons greater undead, gets nothing.
583973 5000' 49 Pushed Glaurung aside with earthquake -> hit and
killed "it"
584108 5000' 50 Er...Morgy's hat is *gone*. Lost in the earthquakes, I
guess.
