 You are Castamir, rightful heir to the Throne of Gondor (or so you

 he is not of pure Dunadan blood? You are tall and bold, with black
 hair and steely gray eyes.

CL29, DL35, turn count 33959. Castamir2 is doing better than the original, and being very careful about traps. He's got a nice weapon of Gondolin with telepathy, Amras for arrows, dragon scale mail, and boots of speed +5. He managed to find FA and SI before they became essential this time. Recently he found Deadly Powers, and a nice +5 INT ring to make it usable. He needs to find many more stat potions before diving.

That's a great looking start; it took me about 80,000 turns before I got any speed boots! Best of luck!

CL34, DL43, turn count 48,093. Incremental upgrades to armor, shield, and light. Starting to use Lust for Blood and Throw Monster more. Found lots of STR potions, but not many other stat potions. Not diving fast yet.

CL38, DL53, turn count 68612. Got Rohirrim from a scroll of acquirement and took Thorin from Ibun just now. STR and DEX are good, but CON needs a lot of work. Also looking for rNether, HL, more speed, and some high resists. Time is short and many levels to go. Time to dive.

CL41, DL84, Turn count 74584. Diving like crazy, avoiding most things. On my forth pair of speed boots, but they have only gone from +5 to +7. No speed rings yet! No HL and no rNether (except on Hithomir, but I would lose rConf and lots of AC), and !Restore Life Levels are rare in the store and the dungeon. Undead scare me.
Early in the game I was using =Open Wounds constantly to heal damage. Lotharang has been a good replacement, and recharges much faster.

CL43, DL91, turn count 83,712. Castamir spent a while (hopefully not TOO long) raiding a large waffle-looking vault on DL91. Found several much needed sources of speed and a potential endgame weapon- Lance of the Eorlingas. Before that, he found Narya!
Gotta go...the clocks ticking.

CL47, DL100, turn count 90,632. Sauron is down, and I briefly shook hands with Morgy. Now I'm trying to decide whether to make another quick run to DL 99-100 for consumables and a possible kit upgrade. But I need some sleep too. Hmmm.

bad luck about the time. Good luck with the final fight, a tough class to win.

Add another blood smear to the list. Castamir had a bad feeling from the beginning. He had holes in his kit and not enough consumables. He was OK at melee, and OK at archery, but totally lacking the shock and awe factor. He never found any Holy Might arrows. Oh well, interesting new class. Not an easy one to master.

I note in the Last Messages that Morgoth had gotten down to the "sneering" stage. Congrats on getting so close, and condolences on the final outcome. A great run!

Yup, I had Morgoth down half way (5 stars) before the two Wyrm breathes killed me and made Morgy sneer. At that time I only had 2 arrows left, almost no healing or banish or phase doors, and was completely out of *Destruction*. I was also slowed due to bloating, and had only 14 minutes left in the contest!
I was wielding Lotharang at the time of death, but only because I had been using it for healing (40 HP every 13-20 turns), but only averaging 294 HP of damage vs Morgoth. Most of the time I was wielding Lance of the Eorlingas (420 HP vs Morgoth). I left my best overall weapon at home: Mace of Disruption of Gondolin. It does 667 vs Undead, Demons, and Dragons but only 375 vs Morgoth.
I only took a handful of melee swings at M. Mostly I was slowing him then shooting arrows at him as he charged me, and using Throw Monster when he got next to me, and repeating the process. I would teleport or TO him when things got crowded and start again. It was working well for a while, but taking a very long time because I never found arrows with Slay Evil. Each hit was only doing 100-200 HP, less than 1% of his total HP. I wanted to bring 120 arrows with me, but had to settle for the best 80 to free up an inventory slot. Do the math. I ran out of arrows, and didn't have enough healing left to switch to melee.
I got off to a slow start and felt under-powered until about DL 53. After a few good finds, and realizing there were only a few days left in the contest, I started diving fast, only stopping once to crack a large vault. Mostly I gathered goodies off the ground and took out groups of low power monsters for loot (lots of trolls, giants, dragons). I avoided most uniques at native depth, as well as Wyrms, major demons, and major undead. Made it to DL 99 safe, but with resistance holes in my kit, including rShards (what killed me) and rNether. Also, very low on consumables. From memory I started with:
about 25 !CCW
about 10 !Healing (and 1 staff with 3 charges)
about 10 !*Healing*
3 !Life
8 ?*Destruction* (no staves)
about 6 ?Banish (and one staff)
0 ? Mass Banish

My biggest strategic mistake was eating 2 rations of food before recalling down (to avoid using an inventory slot). I started at 73% full. Stupid mistake, since I was at 100% full and -10 speed for the last part of the battle (speed was 25 hasted, instead of 35). However, I have a feeling I would have just run out of arrows sooner and died anyway if I had been on a diet.

Is there something I could have done differently in the final fight, with what I had?

The resist holes aren't an issue, 2 great wyrms+Morgoth is never going to be a good idea. The consumable numbers seem fine, what you lacked was an actual melee weapon. I'm not sure what you'd do outside tedious LOS abuse. The drain life wands are probably on par with those remaining arrows, but really you want at least seekers or annihilation or an actual melee weapon.

Also why book 1? Bless? I didn't bring it to the final fight
