The 13th competition day's artifact is a colossal step up, outshining all previous items for every kind of character but a pacifist; Carol carries Calris the greatsword to light her way on dark paths and lukewarm welcomes. Shame about the chill.


I basically played this game as one might a Hador; melee and melee abilities to start, then some stealth and Opportunist, then Will. Also picked up Song of Freedom to get away with less perception. (I'd intended my Melee to always be at least double my Evasion, but eventually the necessities for giants, snow trolls, and ringrauko won out.)

Took till the second 750ft to get a _Sanctity, which made identifying weapons annoying and locked one of my ring slots, but nothing that really mattered; the greatest danger of cursed objects in the first place is losing the ability to use the right weapon, so even Calris' curse was almost a blessing in that regard.

(Flickering shadows isn't too bad when you already have +2 light.)

I found a ring of Warmth (didn't ID since with Calris I was at neutral resistance), which was nice, then I found a greatsword, which was Saithnar.

I didn't use it at first, but then I got Rapid Attack and another point of Strength, and sorry Calris, but you just can't beat that unless we're fighting something fire vulnerable or too dark. (The +2 Str ring came later; it is quite good.)


Issues that bothered me most while playing were: not having enough EV (13 total at 900ft), and eventually giving up and raising it to the same as melee; needing Tinfang Gelion just to have enough Song to not hit most traps; being low enough on Will to need both headgear of Defiance and Song of Staying to fight balrogs or drakes; and finally not having nearly enough resists for far too many serpents, drakes, and rauko.

That last almost got me killed when I walked around a corner into Smaug; luckily, he decided to glare at me instead of taking a deep breath. Doubt it was the only breath-related almost death, either; there were a couple times I'd overlooked or mistook an adamant serpent, and one of those could have hit me at a bad item-swap-state.

Spent all the turns before being forced to the Throneroom scumming with staves of Treasures; it was an ok haul, but I still have horrible acid-damage gauntlets.


I have sharp weapons, bought Song of Thresholds, have loads of consumables, and 6000xp spare for more Melee/EV or abilties... but I do not feel ready much at all; how did people get 40EV without smithing, again?

I could probably have killed Morgoth if he hadn't destroyed my the doors I was using for Song of Thresholds.

I would have gotten three Sils if I hadn't run out of Quickness from trying to fight Morgoth.

I would have escaped the throneroom if I hadn't been taken off-guard by Morgoth moving an extra space. (Which could be from the new Morgoth anger mechanics hasting him, or from a creature swapping spaces with him to move him the extra distance.)


A little bitter with this, since it still seemed salvageable right to the very end, but apparently I simply was not carefully enough with leeway against boosted Morgoth (and Gorthaur entrancement; but that didn't actually get me killed).

Glad to see Song of Thresholds getting a spin. Sounds like a tense close finish, I'm sorry I wasn't around to see it.

Morgoth hasn't been hasted when super-angry (I've stuck to boosting evasion, attack, will and perception) so possibly it was a creature swapping places with him. I'd need to check the code to find out how plausible that is, it feels thematically wrong at least.
