It was nearly 30 minutes before I felt brave enough for the Thieve's Hideout as low starting hp make one rather fragile. I had to flee one of the dogs on L1 and barely managed Freesia on L2. I had but 28hp which might last 2 turns if one is lucky. I was, and with just 8hp after a single round of combat, I read a Phase Door scroll, quaffed a Cure Critical Wounds potion, and finished Freesia off.

But once I hit CL6 or so, things settled down.

First bug noticed so far is that Pseudo dragons should not breathe confusion, but only light and dark (and neither should Ethereal drakes). I'll fix that in a future release but for the competition, I guess we all get to benefit :)

For stats I picked Dex at L5 and Dex again at L10. Fortunately, innate Dex seems to be good so I picked up a second claw attack. With dragons, you can get up to 4 claw attacks and (after CL40) up to two bite attacks. So you don't need too much dex, but some good early boosts are probably worth going for. Plus, as dragons mature they grow larger and their claws and bites get heavier. So you might end up losing a blow as you mature if your stats aren't good enough for the new weights. I'll pick Str for my next two boosts and then Dex again.

After the Wargs, I walked over to Morivant (Be sure to use '<' to travel quickly thru the wilderness, and '>' once you reach your destination. And bring lots of food!). The magic shop had a Ring of Warning with ESP animals. Lacking trap detection, this seemed like a good thing to buy. And with the animal detection, I figured I'd try something new: The Forest.

I must say that I don't recommend this. I'm trying to locate hounds for experience but with my horrible stealth and the forest terrain, its very easy to get surrounded. Even a seemingly tame pack of Hellcats nearly proved fatal when 3 woke up at once, surrounded me, and pounded on me for like 70hp or so. Another turn would have finished me off, but I managed to read a scroll of teleport.

I took down Robin Hood and Wormtongue, but didn't expect anything I could use (A cloak or helm would have been nice). Instead, I got some dragon scale mail of early gold pieces and some weapons of selling. So I'll recall and try to buy a ring of damage in the Black Market.

I can't wait for CL20 :)

I bought a RoDamage(+11) with my early booty (cost 38k) and this has helped immensely. I tried some more Forest action but had to bail as it is just too hard. One needs the solid feel of granite nearby, and for an ethereal drake, all the more so.

Now, I will focus on taking out Azog. I need to worry about his digger army, should he have one. If not, I could take him out fairly easily thanks to my ethereal nature.

Well, obviously I can't keep up with Arjen, so I'll just plod along in The Lonely Mountain. I barely survived an Ancient White Dragon due to my utter lack of any speed so I'm at a pretty challenging depth for my current power level. I just need to be careful with detecting monsters and hiding in walls, and need to run from any sort of out of depth monster.

I finally hit CL29 and then remembered my !Experience. At this point, I only got 60k xp from it but that's almost as good as you can get and I've been squatting on that potion since about 12k xp. That was good for CL30 which brings some much needed confusion resistance. And a bit more hp as I've picked Con my last three goes :)

A game changing vault on DL34 of the Lonely Mountain. Deadlies inside included Fafner and a couple of Ancient Blue Dragons (still no lightning resistance anywhere!) All were teleported away, hasting myself first, of course. But a couple nexus vortices kept scrambling my position, ejecting me from the relative safety of those vault walls into the great open spaces beyond. This was nerve wracking! But at least they weren't scrambling my stats ...

Speaking of stats, the reason for my vault persistance was the half dozen or so stat potions inside, along with the level's special status (Holhenneth). I also bagged Gachapin for Hammerhand, which mostly negates my nexus woes.

But damn, I really need lightning resistance and fast!

Ha! Passed!!

[CL35:DL40] 07:28
I got greedy and accepted the L44 quest, which was Santa Claus. Without nether resistance at the time and with only +2 base speed and about 220 damage per round, I fared poorly. Oh, I got Santa to the point where he insta-teleports (himself or me) but couldn't make any more progress. My stats were drained so low I was down to the point where 2 nether balls would kill, where a single summoned reindeer might kill me, where I really should have bailed. So I bailed. Grrrr ... Also, Santa was spawned in the midst of a pack of Raal's (six of them) and Santa won't move thru monsters, so I had to risk holy hell to get him lose. And every time he teleported me away I was in great danger. But who was I kidding? I was no match for that guy. (I could barely kill Judge Death!)

I finally got my lightning resist at the 6.5 hour mark and my first staff of speed at the 7 hour mark. No telepathy makes the lair unwise so I'm not really sure what to do at the moment. This character is hardly overpowering for this experience level and ethereal dragons are among the weakest of all dragonkind, both in breath and in melee. I guess my big hangup is lack of speed as 520hp at +2 speed is almost the same as 260hp at +10 speed. Everything is fast and seems to double move every round.

But I have scored 2 artifact rings so far, so I don't feel too bad. More will show up and I can be patient ...

There ... that should help. In the Anti-magic caves, the father of the dragons is powerless to call upon his brood for aid. But curses on me for not bringing potions of healing. As it stood, +12 speed (hasted from +2 base) and 144 AC was enough ... with 40 or so !CCW. He got me down around 200hp a couple of times as his melee is very strong. But I was determined :)

Now, I can swap in my game changing +2 speed ring. Actually, going from +2 base speed to +6 is pretty nice. And I'm finding staves of speed quick enough to start carrying them. The only thing I'm really lacking is telepathy and with my helm slot taken up, that is unlikely.

Dragon's Lair at last, after I remembered my Magi with ESP dragon. I'm doing pretty well, so far, though I struggled to kill a hell wyrm and even a storm wyrm (They deserve more respect these days). But when I ran into Ancalagon and Bramd in a vault, I could not resist playing them off one another. Hiding in the walls while they duked it out was fun, and Ancalagon won, of course. But I waited until both were near death before I stepped in and won the Palantir. I forgot all about that source of telepathy, so yeah, I guess that was bound to be my only reasonable chance. Sweet :)

Boy, Arjen is getting *CRUSHED* :D

Seriously, though, Ethereal power that was wanting all game has suddenly blossomed, what with Telepathy (Westernesse) and that all too powerful second bite attack. Decent base speed despite a dearth of rings, but I'm quite happy with my damage and slaying, thankee very much! I even have a couple of 'Precious' rings (Djabanete? Some help please :)

But lacking SoShCaDi is somewhat humbling. Jeez, Shards breath goes for 700hp so one does indeed need to be careful ...

I was playing without Nether and Chaos resistance for a long time, favoring Weaponmastery and Slaying. But finally I decided my damage output was adequate and that really, Chaos resistance is necessary. But now my damage output is below 600 and I still lack NxSoShDi. I guess four resistance holes is the magic number as I can't seem to do much better.

[CL43:DL66] 11:16
Bah! A Great Wyrm of Chaos disenchanted my dragonkind. Well, its a good helm but hardly the best in the game. I'd prefer Amber, of course. But I decided to make my best effort at covering all resistances and came up with this kit. Damage output is now below 500 (still very good, though) and AC continues to be problematically low. But I am only left exposed to Nexus at the moment, so feel a bit safer.

[CL45:DQII] 12:02
Hah! My last dragon (a red dragon) tried to artifact his amulet of telepathy and picked up no teleport. But this dragon had *much* better luck :) Now I can go back to my Dragonkind helm too, though I really need to consider my AC at this point. I'm getting torn apart in melee ...

This all freed up a precious ring slot which will probably get filled with another speed ring (better than the +4 one I currently have). In the meantime, I'll go for more melee power and even start considering whether or not it is time for Tiamat.

[CL48:DL72] 13:12
A beaked dragon? Now that is rather odd ...

Tiamat wasn't too bad thanks to passwall. On the other hand, Gerard was rather scary but he neglected to curse me on the way out. And Uriel has a scary answer for passwall characters, so beware! (Actually, Cantoras is the worst, but he is much deeper).

Speed is good and resistances will have to do. My only complaint is needing to wear a ring of shards resistance as I don't trust myself to swap as needed.

[CL50:DL91] 14:35
Quest redemption, I guess. Shub-Niggurath is no pushover, but relative to the common alternatives (Destroyer, Unicorn, Gothmog), the last quest felt easy.

I'm actually hurting from lack of nexus resistance as I had Benedict on the ropes at a single star and he gestured at my feet, teleporting me off the level with 100% success. Ugh!

Previous to all this, I spent a few minutes in Olympus but decided the sparse permanent walls were annoying so spent an hour diving thru quests to achieve a similar depth in Angband. Now I will park it at this depth for a long time and thin out uniques while praying for rings of power. C'mon, I know you are out there somewhere ...

BTW, Red and White dragons can breathe for up to 900hp while I only breathe for 371. Just something to consider when choosing a dragon race.

Oh, that's annoying. Richard Wong took me with Stop Time, something that has never, ever happened to me before. And he dished out nearly 1k while time was stopped (I swear I was at over 900hp before that second stop time, and my hp warning is 70% so I can't be too far off). Well, he's got psycho-spears so he could have triple speared me! Boy, of all the monsters I thought would get me, he was far from the top of my list.

:( That really sucks, your character was my push to improve my character. And I hate time as you can't do anything about it.

The body part mutations shouldn't be possible when you are a form with beaks/claws/tails. (A beaked beholder sounds weird too...)
