Nothing spectacular going on, but I've made it down to stat-gain, so I thought I should post. The DF Maul is a big find that let me descend fairly quickly. Had good luck with a Nimbleness potion (+3Dex for -1Wis), but no straight +stat potions yet. Finding MB5 was nice; I can't really use it yet, but nice to have it already. And also nice to already have the rPoison ring. Again, not too important at the moment, but good to have in the bag. I'll probably be knocking around here at stat-gain for a good long while.

Finally found an artifact, so I thought I'd post an update. I've been at stat-gain depth for over 250K turns, but have only found a handful of stat potions. On my way down, I saw at least 4 different +stat potions in the Black Market, but (as expected), and soon as I could actually afford to buy some, they disappeared. I'm not particularly pleased with my kit, although I'd be willing to go deeper with it, once I have maybe twice the HP I do now. The +5Con ring will help with that, but I''ll still need a half dozen Con boost potions. Slow and largely boring so far, but I generally prefer that to fast and dead.

Finally got enough Intellect potions to make drinking them be worthwhile, so I quaffed them all, plus the Toughness, and wielded the +5 Con ring. Still not enough HP, but it's past time to descend if I want to have any hope of finishing before the competition ends. Don't see any chance of catching ewan (if he doesn't die). Found a few weak atrifacts; nothing much individually, but collectively they buff up the character reasonably well.

C'mon Bron! I'm rooting for ya!

Thanks for the encouragement, Malak. I guess I'm not feeling too good about the character because I have a lot of real-life work to do, so I'm doubting my ability to finish in time. But enough excuses. Here is the latest update. Not really all that much stronger than the previous post: the Scythe gives me about 30% more melee damage output, and the second +Con ring about 100 more HP. And my spell-casting has improved. This snapshot is most of the way through my current steep dive; I'm hoping to get down to dlvl 75 to find =Speed.

On 7.10.2012 07:38 bron wrote:
Things are coming together pretty well. Survived the dive, and very quickly found a ring of speed +10 by clearing a vault - didn't actually fight any of the serious bad guys in the vault, just used a lot of teleport-other. Got good boosts to my stats and equipment. Found a nice stack of Slay Undead arrows, and another of Electric, although I'm pretty much exhausted them at this point by killing off several of the Ring Wraiths. I don't play Rangers a lot, so I find I have to keep reminding myself to use archery. Need some more ego-ammo, and I'd really like to find ewan's uber longbow. But the character looks good at the moment.

On 8.10.2012 01:13 ewan wrote:
Yeah, that bow was almost cheating. Looking decent, though.

I hear you on the 'remember to use archery' point - it took several reminders-to-self as well as the pretty clear difference in enemy-health decline between arrows and melee. I ended up using archery a lot of the time even if I was forced to be at zero-distance, but the blink-and-shoot approach was more normal.

On 8.10.2012 10:04 bron wrote:
Found The Bow, Tenser's, and a ring of speed +14. This is end-game quality stuff, and I have basically stopped looking for better gear at this point. There are still a lot of powerful uniques remaining, and I don't have enough consumables, but the end of the competition is upon us, so I'm going to just have to go for it anyway.

On 8.10.2012 23:39 bron wrote:
Sauron is down, with a minimum of consumables used. Unfortunately, I kinda screwed up with the arrows, and a couple of badly timed man storms and fire balls wiped out over half of my mithril and seeker ammo. I'm hoping I can get away with just using heavily enchanted regular arrows from the store. Certainly not as good, but they should still hit hard. And I don't think I have time to look for anything better. I was wrong when I said I wasn't looking for better gear - I was still looking at shields and cloaks, just not weapons or body armor. Glad I was too, since this Guiden shield is nice: the resistances don;t matter, but the +3 int is welcome, and the +3 Con allowed me to swap out my Con ring in favor of a second +Speed. I'm going to take a few hundred turns to prep, but then it's onward to death or glory!

On 9.10.2012 07:55 bron wrote:
Fortunately, the town stores were flush with arrows after I killed Sauron, and I was able to stock up. I burned a couple of Restore Mana potions to quickly enchant and brand them. I was very concerned about my short supply of consumables, especially Mass Banish, so I was very miserly with them, doing a lot of teleport-other to Morgoth to deal with unfortunate summons, rather than using the scrolls. This gave Morgoth a chance to heal, but he came back pretty fast and rarely recovered more than one star in-between bouts. Very few mana-storms, but a lot of summons. There's a whole lot of nastiness on dlvl 100 right now that I am not going to track down. Ulitmately, Morgoth fell to a hail of arrows. That bow, plus the ranger's 3rd shot, is a real game changer.

Didn't think I'd be able to finish; glad to see I was wrong. I'm also unreasonably happy about the fact that I was able to bring this one home with my first Urrkhud; I certainly came close to dying several times in the first 30 levels. A tough (and slow) start, but a wild finish.

Congrats! Looks as though you might well have been ahead of me if you'd found The Bow as early as I did. Nice light, btw.

Thanks, ewan. And I hate to sound like a total jerk here, but .. I *did* finish ahead of you. The ladder isn't being sorted correctly.
