I enter the vault and TO away a greater balrog and mouth of sauron because drain charges. I make short work of a Black reaver. About one third into the vault I've picked up some !healing, a rod of healing and pick up a halberd dragon slayer 7d5 that does 1233 to dragons, with rSound and +4dex, +1Con and I replace the *Acid Tulwar with it, and then I'm sent away by a nexus Q. Lungorfin is here and then he summons a bunch of greater demons, including Puzazu. I duck into a corridor to drop my staff of healing, my wands of TO and my staves of TS. I'm going to kill all of them.
I then ?phase:
Guess I'll be ?phasing again.
This might take awhile.
There we go. And I still have 932HP:
And now I realize I'm back at the beginning with the Creban and the Dragons. I make short work of a great storm wyrm on my way to the first order of business, Gothmog, high captain of balrogs.
And, I kid you not; he proves less troublesome than just one of the Greater Balrogs I fought earlier. He doesn't summon, he doesn't breathe and his thumping on me only removes about 150HP. But no time to look at the loot or catch my breath, here comes a great wyrm of Law, a camouflaged GWMofMany Colors and the Mouth of Sauron.
I have 686 health after defeating the GWoManyColors. I decide the mouth of sauron will have to wait. I don't want to ?phase and lose my good position and I don't want to just stand here and heal a bunch if things get nasty. I finish off the dragons (Law and Swamp Wrym). The swamp wyrm is much easier than the the deep DL70s dragons. I'm awarded a !*heal and !EXP for my efforts and the potion takes me to CL48. Now Omerax, who I TO'd from the vault is coming towards me. I guess the Creban will have to wait. Omerax is 6500 HP of evil. I have 565HP, 12 !heal, 9 *!heal* and 14 !CCW so I guess I can afford to use a heal before I \Disrupt his day.
Omerax falls with none too much fuss. I kill off the creban without them screeching and find myself now closer to the vault than the Demons so I will continue my perusal of the vault. Or maybe I should kill the demons first lest the nexus Q teleports me back in their midst. I guess that's the smarter plan. A greater balrog meets me on my way back to the other Demons and he is much more compliant to my rapier than the former two. He drops me a !Life. Since I don't have !speed and I dumped my staves of Speed I try to take on Puzazu, who is next in line, at +16 speed and he quickly brings me to 385HP, so I ?phase.
He's at 55% health so I use another !healing and hope to finish him off at +16 speed. Easy; still have 689HP and the Bile demon coming will meet a swift death. Two quick rounds of Nivrin and he drops two !healing and a ?Banishment of which I now have 4.
Now onto Lungorfin and his friends; these should all fall easily, especially since my -Speed has recharged.
Indeed, they all fall without a appreciable reduction to my health, including a straggler greater balrog. And, perfect timing, here comes Mouth of Sauron again. Unfortunately my speed wears off just as he approaches me. And a storm of raw magic puts me to 393; !heal, and another storm of raw magic brings me to 246. I think it's time to *!heal now. Actually, I think I'll use the !Life to free up inventory slot and to restore my CON.
I quaff !Life and he summons a Horned Reaper and Bile demon.
He's at about 55% health. Another couple rounds of thumping and he summons more Major demons.
I almost finish him off and he flees, the Horned reaper moves in and I have to !heal to kill him; I'm half way through the Bile demon when MoSauron recovers his courage and as soon as he sees me again summons friends of darkness.
And they all die very quickly. There are no worthwhile drops save another !exp dropped from an ancient green dragon and it welcomes me to level 49. I'll take a break here before resuming my exploration of the vault.Beginner's Guide to Angband 4.2.3 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9c9e2wMngM

Back inside the vault I get Teleported by the purple Q again into the room where all the demons died, so good thing I decided to go back and kill them.
Well, I was hoping the WoG in the vault wasn't the cause for the 8 feeling, but seems to be. Still, I found gloves of power <+1> (+1, +5) that brings mace of disruption to 7 blows and 700 vs evil. The Nexus Q finally teleported away.
I burn Huan at 924 dpr and use up a good stockpile of my !CCW I recovered killing him, but he drops me !con which maxes me out and I'm now at 1224HP.
Feagwath fell easily, and before he did I TO'd a summoned black reaver away and he landed midst a trail of lava a greater balrog left behind in a corridor leading to the vault. So I am protected while killing him.
He brings me to level 50 and I max out at 1244HP.
Now the hassle of determining which shots to drop and which arrows to take with me home, since I will try to break the curse (loud noise) on my Lorien bow since it has pStun, <+5> DEX and good damage. But the curse is 77 so not sure if a ?*Remove Curse* will break the curse or not. The curse will be a minor point during the final fight with the Lord of Darkness.
Huan must have trampled over Cat Lord so looks like I've killed all the uniques on this level. I almost overlooked 5d8 Lochaber Axe Eraldimor that Feagwath dropped. Does 720 to evil, up 21 from my MoD.
I return to town and play around with Morgoth equipment; since I don't have +20 base speed, I have to shuffle things around and wear a ring of speed <+10> that brings my base speed to about +21 overweight, but I lose rSound, rNether and pConf if I am to keep my damage at 720 vs evil. Back in the dungeon I pick up a "Weaponmastery (+3, +4) <+3> which may help in the end.
At the start of DL91 I quickly burn through Castamir, Shelob and Ungoliant. Just as Ungoliant is fleeing for her life she, (or something else, I couldn't see) chants powerfully and I drop from 600something to 300something health, so I !heal. My pebbles of slay evil finish her off, though. Arien is next on my hit list and falls without too much trouble.
Qzzlpllzlp is here and I figure I'll let it summon some uniques for me. Dwar didn't know what hit him, but Kronos gives me some trouble and I have to use two !healings and I'm down to 7 !CCW again, but I still have 10 of each !healing and !*healing. Polyphemus is with him and destroys whatever Kronos dropped. I dispatch of him as well, but the fights leave me at 400HP.
I return to Qzzlplzlp and he summons Maeglin who summons Greater dragons. I let Maeglin trample over Qzzlplzlp and then _TS away since I didn't bother to let myself heal up completely. I kill some bright green con-reducing demons and a black reaver, but forget to switch to my demon slayer initially and lose 2 CON, but once I switched they each died before they could take a turn. I heal up a little and then _TS back to Maeglin who dies easily. Believe it or not he drops an *identical* MoD of *slay evil* to the one I used to kill him, except the new one is (+9, +17) vs my old one (+9, +16).
As is common in my randart games, there is always a dry spell in drops once I've reached endgame status at the bottom of the dungeon. Killed dozens of uniques lately but none of them have dropped anything really good.
I decide to take on Radagast in a small goggles shaped vault and he takes me to deep waters. Bad idea to fight him without pBlind. It's almost always a bad idea to fight Radagast, or at least for a warrior. I have to _TS as he keeps blinding me whenever I cure. He finds me quickly, though, which means my haste isn't wasted, but he blasts me a lot and then summons an inertia hound that's breath coincides with my haste wearing off so I go from 25 speed to 5 speed which comes pretty close to spelling my end. The battle requires more consumables than any other this game. He does eventually die as I shoot at him but hit undetectable animals first. Someone dropps a rod of curing which is handy since I don't want to use a !CCW since I am almost full health after !*healing but don't necessarily want to clean up blind.
The lack of pBlind aside, I am pretty powerful. Radagast drops gloves of combat (+1, +7) that I am tempted to wear. Not sure stealth really matters all that much at this stage. I will try them for a bit. He also drops a good <+2> extra attacks executioner's sword good for 600dpr, which is great against the Istars left in the vault which yields WoG and <+4> <+8> boots. Nice boots but not useful to me. DL92 a dread drops (+4, +11) caestus of combat <+1> which I believe is the highest damage I've found on non-artifact gloves and I'm pretty sure it's not possible to get higher, as I think ego gloves have a +8 to dam enchantment cap, therefore caestus would max out at 11 since 3 + 8 = 11.Last edited by Grotug; March 10, 2018, 04:11.Beginner's Guide to Angband 4.2.3 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9c9e2wMngM

Nothing doin on DL92 so I return to town, screw around with gear combinations again, but stick with what I've been using and buy an ?*Acquirement* and read it on DL93 and am dropped this:
The Cutlas or Rhuin (4d8) (+20, +20) <+5> INT/CON <+1> Stealth, Light Slays everyone but giants and slays Undead/Dragons (Powerfully). pBlind, Telepathy, SI, FrAct, Regen, rElec, rCold, rFire, rSound, rNexus
Damage: 906 to non-rFire, to most everyone, and 1226 to dragons/Undead, 764 to animals and 587 to others.
Vault doesn't have anything I need, but I find a better "Trickery <+3> speed <+5> DEX outside the vault. I seek out Ancalagon who is ineffectual against me. I have him fleeing in no time and happily begin killing his summons, but instead of reading ?*enchant weapon* (Nivien is now (+13, +12)) I read ?Teleport Level. Oh well.
On DL95 a Great Wyrm of Balance and a Great Ice Wyrm come at me, so I kill them per usual. Balance drops second rod of speed; ice wyrm drops second rod of healing. Nice.
I just realized if I had kept an Elven cloak I chucked in favor of a cloak of pConf I'd just be able to make +20 speed, but it would be traveling very light. I'll find a good speed artifact soon, though.
I linger on a very boring DL96 a little longer than I probably "should" after killing Fundin but stumble upon a greater titan who summons a jabberwock. Fighting the monsters one right after the other brings me to 200something health after the jabberwock breathes chaos, but I'm not too worried about it now as I rip through the jabberwock so quickly a second breath would do marginal damage. Someone drops another rod of healing. I then see a greater demon Q. Earlier in the game I'd TO these things, but now I stand around and wait for them to summon. I kill an Osyluth, greater and lesser balrogs and someone drops another rod of healing. I'll hang around the Q for as long as he will summon, but he ?phases away. I detect him, but he ?phases again. Detection again reveals a demon pit. Oh yessssss. Generally only good for potions since any scrolls they drop get destroyed, though. But I'm more concerend with potions and rods at this point than scrolls.
The pit drops two staves of healing, but I'm not using items with charges. It also a cloak for each resistance I'm missing (when not wielding Rhuin): two cloaks of pStun, one pBlind and an elven cloak of Aman (rSound) for +20 base speed. I will wear the Aman even now for its AC and weightlessness even though it means losing pConf. Pconf becomes less important the more powerful my @ gets.
DL97 has a greater vault. !Enlightenment shows there is power dragon scale mail but what I need is a better speed armor than my current one.
In a room at opposite end of the map from the vault I hang out with a greater Q to farm, but it quickly gets out of hand with Nightcrawlers and I fail multiple times to ?phase near the entrance of the room and am forced to ?Teleport away. I head back to the room and easily kill the summons once in a corridor. Farming is fruitful as I pick up a !Life and now have 13 !*Healings.
I wait for more summons and finally someone interesting is brought forth: Vecna. I fiercely smite him and it's far more than he can handle and he dies without much ado. I retreat into a little nook to clean up Vecna's pre-death summons; he leaves me nothing interesting.
Enough screwing around, Sauron awaits.
At about 1/3 health left Sauron summons Draugluin, Osse and Ancalagon who summons Balance and other greatest dragons. I ?phase into a small room with all of these baddies and so need to ?Teleport away. I finish sauron off at 770 vs evil, but use up all my heals from my 4 rods. After defeating Sauron alone, I return to to kill everyone else, starting with Ancalagon. Ancalagon and his kin fall easily seeing as I'm doing 1226 to dragons. Osse proves more troublesome and requires a *!heal when his nether breath does 400+ after resist, and a couple !heals. No one drops me anything worth a hoot. Time to go home and do the equipment shuffle for mr M.
Halfway through the fight I have to ?Teleport again when Osse calls me thither. When I return I use the lava from Ancalagon's maw of fire to kill Draugluin and others who don't resist fire.
The final chapter of this saga will happen tonight.Beginner's Guide to Angband 4.2.3 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9c9e2wMngM

"My guess is that Grip and Fang have many more kills than Gothmog and Lungorthin." --FizzixComment

And here is my setup going into the final fight. I switched things around because with this setup I get pStun and I can make +20 speed while being overweight and I sustain everything except Intelligence. I do give up Lightning immunity, rNether and rNexus, though, and a little damage.
I start out with Morgoth nearby and a Demilich before me. I kill the demilich and the lesser balrog he summons and pick up a !Heroism courtesy of the demilich. Morgoth is on me quick and so I haste self and TO him away. Inertia hounds will now be coming in where Morgoth paved a path. I kill them, and some other things and then read a glyph of warding in a corridor when Morgoth returns, -haste self and read a ?Holy PrayerCode:rAcid:......+.+....

I immediately move off the glyph when Morgoth moves because that's what I do whenever I read a ?Glyph of Warding
. He summons a lot of stuff. I move back onto the glyph. He summons more stuff.
I ?phase:
I read another ?Glyph and whomp on him for couple rounds and he summons Ancient Dragons which I ?Banish and whomp another couple rounds and he summons various things that don't scare me too much so I continue to whomp:
I get in some good blows; another few rounds; and finally M breaks the glyph (and a couple balls of nether). But look at how much damage I've already done to him.
Morgoth's health bar
This seems like a good time to ?phase.
This is not a good place to be. If and when I want to ?phase again, I do not want to bounce around this little room. I decide to move into the upper right corner of the room. If I need to ?phase again, maybe I'll ?phase into the oval area to my northeast.
I quaff a !healing, some !heroisms and a !berserk strength. I am blessed, heroic and berserk. My dam is now 753. M summons major demons; I ?banish. Immediately he summons more major demons. I ?banish again. He summons a ragtag of < DL40s which I will let be.
We go a few more rounds; he does another nether ball. He then summons major dragons, and none would be much concern, but I'm no longer immune to lightning and one is a Storm Wyrm. I have 699 health.

I think given Morgoth's earthquakes it's safe to ?phase, so I do. And what a good ?phase it is:
I Arkenstone and heal and don't bother ?MBanning. He summons harmless things except a druj, so I TO the druj and continue fighting.
One more round of melee and he summons more major demons so I ?phase.
It's starting to get crowded and I have 6 ?Mass Banishments, so I ?Mban.
Several rounds of melee and he doesn't summon, but he does bolt me with raw magic, forcing me to !heal twice. His next round of earthquaking moves him one square away from me, allowing me a 'free' !heal. His health is now [***-------]
Next few rounds he doesn't do any damage. I take him down to[**--------] He summons servants. How cute.
I meant to kill cantoras the first time he showed up, but I had to TO him at the time and I never found him again later. It will be TO for him again now. Two more rounds; two more earthquakes. His health is now [*---------]
Morgoth Lord of Darkness (Almost dead) summons ringwraiths. Poor smeagol got crushed. That's the second time he's died this game.
I have 753 health, one rod of healing is available for zapping. I think I will ?Phase, -heal and finish Mr Morgoth.
I move into a favorable position, the first zap of the rod of healing fails and M is almost upon me, the second succeeds.
Morgoth summons some more cute friends, and then dies.
And Strogg is still at full health.
I enjoyed chronicling my adventure. Thanks for tuning in! Hopefully next time will be more exciting!
