One more attempt, but at Ent-like pace. Hrrrmmm, hommmm, brrrahrrrr, hmmmmmm. No danger to the leaders from turncount.

Rightly or wrongly, @ has been descending into Nargothrond, even though the fire breathing Glaurung, Father of Dragons is known to be at the bottom. Things have become quite dangerous for Beechbonnet IV!

Pretty sure if you kill Morgoth turn count won't matter much. You're likely to get 1st or 2nd

Deep in Nargothrond, close to the limits of my ability. It's very slow going. Each turn of a corner is fraught with danger. Need a weapon that can put out real damage. Hand-to-hand combat isn't going to cut it much longer.

Truly overleveled in Nargothrond. Had to run for stairs several times. All of them were down, so danger continually increased! Hanging out in the forests and plains outdoors for awhile to lick my wounds.

Nail biting, but in my run, I just had to keep diving until I found gear before it got better. Yes, I spent many turns mining for gold (Ents are great diggers!) and bought stacks of !Healing whenever they showed up in the black market. So my turncount isn't great. But once I was down below dl60 I started finding good gear finally and could dive seriously.

But about turncount, looks like this comp is judged by score per turns, not least turns, so if I do win (debating scrounging for consumables, so may be even more turns added) you don't necessarily have to do it in fewer turns to beat me.

On a foray into the upper levels of Tol-In-Gaurhoth, @ found Narsil. I think that's better than hand-to-hand, although I have trouble deciphering the character and equipment damage/skill/deadliness information and comparing them to the information given for hand-to-hand.

I haven't dug for treasure, not once. I'll have to think about that. My horrible turncount is purely from terrible playing.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to figure weapon damage either. Like, if it says 6 attacks for 58 damage with the weapon, is this already factoring deadliness? I would think so, but maybe not. Damage seems to be about the same per turn as my unarmed, even though the listed damages are about the same per hit and I because I'm much better at it I hit a lot more frequently unarmed. But none of the late game tough monsters seem susceptible to confusion, so maybe Power Strike/unarmed is just an early game strategy for Druids? I'm still swinging Aglarang for the +5 speed because it doesn't seem to do much if any less damage than unarmed, and it's hard to say no to speed.

Tediously working my way down the valley of Nan Dungortheb. Even if I can manage to keep @ alive, I doubt I'll have time to finish before the end of comp. Very slow going.

A moment of panic when @ went down the stair/slope of Nan Dangortheb and came out on a permanent walled spire in space. Fortunately, was able to Blink off the spire and into the valley proper. I can imagine a situation where a warrior that had all its ?Phase Door and ?Recall burned up and fled down stairs to escape could be really screwed. Couldn't even walk off the spire as it was @ was surrounded by permanent rock.

Now I need to decide whether to continue in the valley or return to finish off Nargothrond. Probably that, as Children of Ungoliant are a real pain right now.

As slow as I'm going, and with a turncount going exponentially higher, there's no chance I will finish in time.

A bubble vault yielded some descent items. Still no great weapon though.

Well, that's it for me. I may eventually finish this @ and post to the ladder, but as far as the competition goes, I'm out of time. This fourth attempt worked out much better than my first three tries. Turncount is truly awful. I want to love FAangband, and I do love the whole adventure quality of it with the outdoor wilderness treks, the various dungeons and "quest" monsters, the diversity of classes. But, the interface is clunky stacked up against the revamped vanilla, there are far too many packs of hounds and other packs, and all, in all, FAangband just gets tedious. At some point it ceased to be fun and I just kept going because it was a comp. As I said, I might finish the @ at some point, just for a sense of completion, but not for awhile.

Very similar experience for me. Yes, I was continuing to collect consumables for the final battle (and discovered that despite immCold my potions were still exploding from Sound attacks, very frustrating.) With only 3 !Restore Mana, 5 !*Healing*, and 4!Life, and still not great melee damage, I'm 98% confident Morgoth would have had about half his life left when I ran out of mana and ways to restore health. MAYBE I could teleport him away a lot and hope to regenerate faster than he does. But yes, every level seemed to be hounds and pits and so so tedious to clear for only very rarely drops I could use. And I never once found anything useful in a vault.

I know I should have tried for the win in he final hours of the comp anyway, but I think I'll eventually pay some more attention to this character and go for a win when I have the consumables I want and maybe a better weapon.
