Currently at clvl 22 possessing Santa Claus doing Normal melee damage with The Spear of Hagen with AC 116, +6 Base Speed, 239/239 HP, 51 mana, and 29975 Au.

Story:
Here I go again, on to Santa 338. This is Santa 338's initial post at the 2 hour mark. I'm at clvl 22 with 24 uniques down. This one is one my most complete Compo 183 contenders this early in the game in terms of resistance coverage - I'm only missing resistances for Nether, Shards, Chaos, and Time. These are big ones except for maybe Time. I completed a handful of town quests as usual as well as two dungeons - Stronghold and the Labyrinth. Unfortunately, I had an early exit from the Telmora Arena after losing to the Biclops, which kind of surprised me knowing that I had an AC of 116 and +6 Base Speed. But even then, the Biclops dude initially double moved before I even got started...ugh.

Notable events:
1) Completed the Dark elven lords quest at clvl 18
2) Stairs collapse enroute to Dragon's lair at clvl 20, at the 1 hour 37 min mark

Key items:
1) The Spear of Hagen (1d6) (+11,+13) (+3) {Clvl 22, Labyrinth: L28, Hagen}
2) a Ring of Protection [+11] {LiSoBlFe A:Protection from Evil, Clvl 19,
?DQ1?}
3) The Steel Helm of Hammerhand (+3,+4) [6,+20] (+3) {Clvl 16, Mimic quest}
4) a Torc of the Hero (+2,+4) [+3] {(Cn}
5) a Staff of Capacity: Healing (7/7 charges) (+2) {Clvl 20, Dragon's lair:
L60, ?Acquirement}
6) a Large Metal Shield of Elemental Protection [8,+13] {ElFi}
7) a Heavy Crossbow of Extra Might (x4.90) (+10,+14) {Ac}
8) The Padded Armour 'Shield of Water' [5,+20] {AcCfDi}
9) a Pair of Soft Leather Boots of Levitation [2,+7]
10) an Amulet of Trickery (+1) {DxSr;Dk, Clvl 1, Thieves quest}

The Rock giant guest appearance at the Icky cave caught me off-guard and of course I somehow forgot to take off the source of Anti-Teleportation off!

Santa 338 post 2 hour mark

Possession "outage" history:
1) Lost 2nd Santa body at clvl 23 during the Sting quest due to the Will o' Wisp; starting using 2nd Santa reserve at clvl 23 in Telmora.

Notable events:
1) Had a hell of a time during the Sting quest and barely survived it. Although, I DID retrieve 'Sting', I lost my 2nd Santa body during the quest thanks to a numbskull Will o' the Wisp dude that wouldn't leave me alone. I ended up overflowing these equipment: 'Shield of Water', Heavy Crossbow of Extra Might, Torc of the Hero, Pair of Soft Leather Boots of Levitation and a Set of Gauntlets. I struggled to stay a bit faster (i.e., about +10 Hasted Speed) and keep my HP up with many !CCW in the face of a unrelenting Will o' the wisp. Fortunately, I managed to collect the dropped equipment and used a WoR scroll in advance to set a recall timer. Then, I remembered to use a Wand: Teleport Other to banish the crazed Will o' the Wisp monster. In a matter of time, my recall finally took effect and I made it out alive!

I don't know why it took me so long that I didn't notice the Rock giant in the first place.

I must be missing something important about the Possessor class or about this contest in particular. How do you take advantage of the extra Santa bodies? My understanding is that if the Santa body dies, the possessor dies too - Game over. I suppose one could unpossess a doomed Santa body one round before death (how would you know?) and try to escape as a noncorporeal possessor (through the walls?) all the way home...
But it's hard for me to imagine a circumstance where the fragile homeless possessor is more survivable than even a severely damaged Santa body (with armor and other equipment). Isn't the native possessor form going to have less speed, fewer HP, fewer resistances, lower AC, etc. What am I missing?

So far, I leave the 3 Santa reserves at home. In the late game, it may be an interesting idea to bring a Santa reserve to the dungeon and strategically lug it throughout. But, this is a bit risky because slow speeds are a big problem, especially more so later in the game. For me, I never picked up enough speed to ever consider lugging them.

imo, unpossessing a doomed Santa is risky as well because teleporting isn't always safe -> *a lot* worse in the late game.

Aside from passwall, innate Telepathy, above average Stealth the native Possessor form is a last resort. I never find it advantageous to scour dungeons in this native form; not happening. The native Possessor form (i.e, Lost soul) only has two Ring slots (just like Santa), a Cloak slot, a Headgear slot, a Light source slot, zero base speed (UNLESS you have Rings of Speed!!!), low HP, and no resistances that I'm aware of AND it CANNOT attack!!!

Again, unless I have like +20 Base Speed, lugging Santas won't happen for me!

Alternatively, one could donate a Santa to the store asking for Wanted Monsters
