   9,356    350 ft    (+1,2d6) 3lb longsword -- think it may earn a place in

                      it :/ 
  12,488    500 ft    Encountered Orcobal, Champion of the Orcs
  12,509    500 ft    Slew Orcobal, Champion of the Orcs
  12,813    500 ft    Enchanted Mattock, but I'm too weak to carry it
  13,799    500 ft    And a potion of Strength. Stats all restored.
  13,874    500 ft    (Artifice)
  14,232    500 ft    Made a Jet Ring of Accuracy (+3)  0.1 lb
  14,917    500 ft    Made The Crown 'Prophecy' <+1>  2.8 lb
  15,084    600 ft    Encountered Duruin, Least of the Balrogs
  15,085    600 ft    Uh-oh
  15,086    600 ft    No fire resist, and I'm not sure I can dominate a 
                      Balrog 
  15,086    600 ft    Attack vs Duruin would be (+12,3d10) (Glaive of 
                      Nargothrond) 
  15,086    600 ft    Defence would be [+8,2-7] (which is pathetic), and 
                      Song of Mastery 
  15,086    600 ft    Song is 16 -- that means he'd miss about half of his 
                      turns 
  15,086    600 ft    But he can easily critical me for 4d12 ... that will 
                      hurt a lot 
  15,086    600 ft    Nope, even with a couple of thousand experience to 
                      spend, seems tough 
  15,086    600 ft    Current investment: Melee 6, Evasion 5, Smithing 8, 
                      Song 10 
  15,102    600 ft    Hmm ... I could learn Elbereth and use Gauntlets of 
                      Treachery 
  15,102    600 ft    But risks running into unknown territory and getting 
                      in trouble 
  15,115    600 ft    Tried engaging a little, think I could have won but it 
                      was too risky 
  15,132    600 ft    Encountered Gilim, the Giant of Eruman
  15,135    600 ft    Gilim, eep
  15,243    600 ft    Bailed again
  15,277    600 ft    Shadow spider? Bat? Darkness is bad
  15,277    600 ft    Listen is out of reach
  15,294    600 ft    Encountered Nan, the Giant

  15,575    600 ft    Slain by a Ringrauko.
  15,575    600 ft    Died on 10 July 2013.

  15,575    600 ft    Oh dear. Hit for 5d8. Should have been more careful

I had fun with this one. Shouldn't have died here, but I'd got a little behind the clock and had just run from a couple of fights, so was not cautious enough. I think the build has a lot of potential; most of the time I felt pretty strong. Song of Mastery is certainly enjoyable to play with in the early game, and by the time I needed to fight Easterling uniques I was able to weave in Sharpness.

I'd be interested to see where better players than I could take the build.

One way I could have been stronger is if I'd made a different artefact. Instead of 'Prophecy', I nearly decided on a Robe with +4 to Song. In the end I decided to wait a little later, when I'd be able to put (+1) on it as well, but I'm sure the song bonus would have improved my survivability a lot.

Neat build. I wonder if you could hold off on rushing to artifice, and just focus on making better stuff (like those acc rings you were making). You could just buy song of mastery, and I imagine you're good enough at the ID game to not need loremaster.

Also: I find the easiest way to tell if a shadow spider or a shadow bat is attacking is to look at the combat rolls. xd5 is bat, xd9 is spider. There are other ways, obviously, but that is the most reliable IMO :)

Were you using the glaive b/c of rauko slaying -- i.e. was it mostly a swap, or was it your primary weapon?

Holding off on Artifice is certainly possible. I was only just reaching the 21 smithing needed for the (+3) ring, so if you wanted to curtail the smithing investment generally you'd need to pull back a bit. But perhaps Artistry would be a good move to let you make useful stuff.

I do need Enchantment to make a Crown of Command, though. Song of Mastery has a requirement of 13, so you can't get it early.

Re. the bat/spider: yeah, it turned out the reason I was getting confused was that there was one of each.

Re. the glaive: just a swap. I was actually swapping enough here that I didn't feel like I had a primary weapon (used the Greatspear of Gondolin more than anything else), but against foes where I didn't use a slay it would be the longsword-and-shield or bastard-sword-without-shield.

Overall this was fun. The lack of raw combat power was made up for by the pseudo-speed effect of Mastery, which gave me an edge in straight fights as well as letting me catch fleeing enemies or make my escape if need be (had one great time using it to freeze a room full of worm masses while I fled through them).
