My first Sil win! I've been playing a lot of Sindar archers, and this one was by far the most successful. Went heavy on stealth in the beginning until I got to the first forge, and then started pumping archery. A lot of my (dead) archers have tried songs, but elbereth and silence, but this time I blew off song until the end, putting exp into mainly stealth, archery and perception.

I got lucky with some early finds, getting both a 1d8 Doriath shortbow and the Nargothrond bow I used for most of the game. The shortbow was great in the midgame, making wargs, werewolves and shadow spiders a lot less scary. I think I eventually lost it to an acid trap though.

I played kind of pokily though, and ended up going directly from 900' to the throne room thanks to the min level timer. I need to focus on playing more efficiently - there was a lot of neat stuff to see in the deep levels, and could have used more time there.

The fight with Morgoth was interesting - I approached through the secret passage and basically fought him there. I had some distance at first, but he closed eventually, and I just kept shooting fire/poison arrows point blank into him until he died, quaffing potions and singing sharpness. I was surprised that was feasible, but with rapid fire I was doing enough damage that he went down fairly easily.

I had found Anguirel, and used it to get the first Sil, but it broke on the second, and so wasn't sure I was going to get any more, but luckily found Ogbar which did the trick for the other two.

There was a funny moment in one of the back rooms at 1000' where I got trapped between two Unrelenting Horrors in a corner with a pillar like so:

###
H@#
#H#

I though that was going to be my end, but remembered the Belegost Mattock and busted out through the wall. I never was able to kill those things - they're awful.

The ascent was both boring and scary, with tons and tons of vampires and raukaurs running around. One on one they all went down hard, but if I got surrounded it could get ugly really quickly. I used _rev, _treas and _recharge to find stairs and more staves which made it manageable.

Carcharoth was tough, dealing a huge amount of poison, and without song of Este from Barahir I probably would have died.

So in short, sharpness, Este, Mattocks of Belegost, and bows with slays were the keys to victory!

Congratulations! The 14k unspent experience ... Which bow did you use in the throneroom? Surviving Morgoth for any length of time with only 16 evasion while he is adjacent to you looks daring to me. (It used to be really easy to cripple him at one time, but since this is not working anymore, I have always avoided facing him in the tunnel.)

I think I used the Nargothrond longbow on Morgoth - the dragon-horn bow was found later. I was fast from !quickness, but I think cripple shot was working too. With rapid-fire, quickness and cripple shot I was hitting him a lot more than he was hitting me, and the !con gave me enough of a life buffer to deal with his hits.

The 14k was accrued after killing Morgoth and from the ascent. I think I picked up Leap at some point, but other than that didn't spend much, and didn't really feel the need.
