  3,221    300 ft   think i can chance equipping it once i explore 350 ft 
  3,221    300 ft   if it's treachery i might be too weak to explore 350 ft  
  3,221    300 ft   and survive long enough to find _sanctity

  8,114    500 ft   oh nice
  8,114    500 ft   that's the second _understanding this floor
  8,116    500 ft   ...
  8,116    500 ft   the first staff only had 2 charges total?
  8,183    500 ft   failed to use staff properly x 7
  8,183    500 ft   are you serious?
  8,191    500 ft   8th time the charm...
  8,211    500 ft   whispering shadows only worth 2 xp each now
  8,211    500 ft   though i haven't had to deal with any really bad
  8,211    500 ft   infestations yet
  8,405    500 ft   still haven't found any !healing
  8,405    500 ft   2 herbs of healing though
  8,573    550 ft   550 ft
  8,573    550 ft   and on the same turn...
  8,573    550 ft   'A group of enemies come down the stairs, forcing you 
  8,573    550 ft   out of the way!'
  8,573    550 ft   just a snow troll so i should be okay, as long as 
  8,573    550 ft   i don't make too much noise and attract other monsters
  8,574    550 ft   battle axe (-3,3d5) on the floor nearby, lit up
  8,574    550 ft   it has to be nargothrond
  8,574    550 ft   which means there's some raukos nearby
  8,574    550 ft   could be duruin, or a sulrauko?
  8,591    550 ft   ah wait
  8,591    550 ft   killing that troll seemed to have stopped its glow
  8,591    550 ft   dramborleg?
  8,702    550 ft   so many battle axes (-3,3d5) 
  8,702    550 ft   that's the 3rd in the last 500 turns or so?
  8,839    550 ft   Found The Battle Axe of Hurin
  8,839    550 ft   oh
  8,839    550 ft   honestly forgot about this axe
  8,839    550 ft   i think it has same base stats as dramborleg?
  8,953    550 ft   unbelievable how much i struggled against that sulrauko
  9,020    550 ft   (Rauko-Bane)
  9,087    550 ft   1 shot a sleeping fire-drake hatchling
  9,142    550 ft   feels like i'm weaker than i should be around this depth 
  9,176    550 ft   6d8 for 35 dmg on another sleeping fire-drake 
  9,176    550 ft   hatchling
  9,176    550 ft   good thing because i don't have resists yet
  9,221    550 ft   first shadow spider
  9,221    550 ft   oh and spiked trap
  9,287    550 ft   one shot a sulrauko even though i couldn't see it
  9,287    550 ft   feels gooood
  9,290    550 ft   kite shield of deflection (-2)[1,1d6]
  9,290    550 ft   meh
  9,327    550 ft   Encountered Duruin, Least of the Balrogs
  9,327    550 ft   fuck
  9,327    550 ft   well, it could be worse
  9,327    550 ft   just need to lure him out of this narrow tunnel
  9,327    550 ft   _earthquake charge and !quickness should be sufficient
  9,327    550 ft   he has 18 to-hit but i have rauko-bane (n=5)
  9,327    550 ft   thinking hurin would serve me better here
  9,370    550 ft   Destroyed Duruin, Least of the Balrogs
  9,371    550 ft   that wasn't too bad
  9,371    550 ft   mithril helm of defiance <+1> from him
  9,371    550 ft   probably better than my [-1,1d2]<3> helm of defiance
  9,371    550 ft   1 evasion and 1 protection > 2 will 
  9,371    550 ft   more importantly, duruin is dead so i don't have to see  
  9,371    550 ft   his ugly mug again
  9,371    550 ft   13 to-hit with hurin is just awful
  9,371    550 ft   this is unusable...
  9,455    550 ft   bronze ring is dex <+0>
  9,455    550 ft   was hoping it'd be fire or cold resist
  9,473    550 ft   woah, 7d7 on snow troll for 31
  9,473    550 ft   that's a new record i think?
  9,503    550 ft   err, deathblade?
  9,503    550 ft   150 feet out of depth
  9,503    550 ft   damn
  9,521    550 ft   OHHHHHH WAAAAAT
  9,521    550 ft   (5,1d9)[1] deathblade!!!!
  9,521    550 ft   that was a serious string of good luck
  9,521    550 ft   wasn't even convinced i could take him
  9,521    550 ft   and then i got lucky landing a few hits in a row
  9,521    550 ft   never seen a deathblade this good
  9,521    550 ft   just give me two-weapon fighting right now
  9,521    550 ft   this was meant to be
  9,524    550 ft   mm, unfortunately it's 2.5 lbs
  9,524    550 ft   2 lb or less would have been ideal
  9,524    550 ft   if i str potion, the -3 from two-weapon fighting and +3  
  9,524    550 ft   from potion cancels each other
  9,524    550 ft   which lets me use all 2.5 lb of extra sides
  9,524    550 ft   still harder to get criticals, but the +5 to-hit makes 
  9,524    550 ft   up for it
  9,524    550 ft   i don't think the extra weight hurts it that much
  9,550    550 ft   ruby serpent
  9,550    550 ft   uhhh
  9,569    550 ft   whew
  9,569    550 ft   actually two shot it
  9,569    550 ft   bless assassination coming in clutch
  9,623    550 ft   oh my god
  9,623    550 ft   4d11 with deathblade against our first ringrauko
  9,623    550 ft   is this an edain?!
  9,623    550 ft   i was just testing the weapon out of curiosity
  9,633    550 ft   (21,1d11)[20,6-12] now
  9,633    550 ft   that's actually...pretty respectable?
  9,634    550 ft   with rauko-bane bonus, that's 24 to-hit, 23 evasion
  9,634    550 ft   ringrauko stand no chance
  9,764    550 ft   5d11 for 36 dmg on sleeping giant
  9,764    550 ft   8 bonus from assassination
  9,766    550 ft   werewolf hm
 10,025    600 ft   (Two Weapon Fighting)
 10,028    600 ft   (16,2d8)(18,1d8) offense 
 10,028    600 ft   didn't realize the deathblade could have less than 
 10,028    600 ft   9 sides if i don't have positive strength after 
 10,028    600 ft   subtracting 3 strength
 10,030    600 ft   i really hope this floor has resists
 10,057    600 ft   [1,1d1] boots?
 10,058    600 ft   1.5 lbs
 10,058    600 ft   could this be taur-nu-fuin?
 10,059    600 ft   didn't auto-id
 10,059    600 ft   irime or free action or danger...?
 10,070    600 ft   6d8 and 2d8 on sleeping giant!
 10,072    600 ft   Found The Pair of Boots of Irime
 10,072    600 ft   i don't think i've won a game where i wore irime to the  
 10,072    600 ft   end, it's always been replaced by something better later 
 10,116    600 ft   4d8 4d8 on snow troll without assassination bonus
 10,189    600 ft   pack of easterlings this deep
 10,189    600 ft   has to be ulfang right?
 10,198    600 ft   Encountered Ulfang the Black
 10,198    600 ft   yep
 10,205    600 ft   ohhh he's mad alright
 10,225    600 ft   (Hardiness)
 10,225    600 ft   (Poison Resistance)
 10,231    600 ft   i can't hit him?
 10,291    600 ft   Slew Ulfang the Black
 10,291    600 ft   that...was a long fight
 10,291    600 ft   i thought it'd go smoother
 10,291    600 ft   if i struggle this much against ulfang, serpents will be 
 10,291    600 ft   equally difficult to kill if not worse
 10,301    600 ft   could this dagger be angrist?
 10,302    600 ft   no...
 10,302    600 ft   perhaps nargothrond
 10,323    600 ft   [0,1d2] mithril greaves from easterling spy
 10,323    600 ft   quite a lot of mithril items this game
 10,323    600 ft   but i think i'd rather have irime
 10,576    600 ft   covered in acid
 10,576    600 ft   creeping horror already?
 10,587    600 ft   woah
 10,587    600 ft   practically 1 shot it
 10,587    600 ft   which god do i have to pray to to find some resists?
 10,587    600 ft   150 feet out of depth cat warrior here
 10,642    600 ft   sapphire serpent...
 10,906    600 ft   dagger is indeed nargothrond
 10,935    600 ft   Encountered Delthaur, Balrog of Terror
 10,935    600 ft   uhh
 10,987    600 ft   Destroyed Delthaur, Balrog of Terror
 10,988    600 ft   went all out on that one
 10,988    600 ft   without fire resist, he hits up to 4d10...
 10,988    600 ft   and if he crits, 5d10...6d10...
 10,988    600 ft   _earthquake had 0 charges so i had to use !quickness
 10,988    600 ft   !str and !dex
 10,988    600 ft   i can't delve further i think, belegwath would be death
 10,988    600 ft   consumable situation is getting worse and worse
 10,996    600 ft   [0,1d2] boots of softest tread <+3>
 10,996    600 ft   longbow of quickness (0,2d6) 2 lb
 10,996    600 ft   and mithril greatsword (defender) (-1,3d6)[2]
 10,996    600 ft   on any other run i'd say those are decent drops
 11,000    600 ft   (Dodging)
 11,000    600 ft   (Flanking)
 11,029    600 ft   7d7 on sleeping shadow spider
 11,122    550 ft   turn count is decent this run
 11,122    550 ft   so i can afford to backtrack a bit
 11,122    550 ft   but rarely have had resists be this hard to find
 11,329    550 ft   7d8 on sleeping giant :)
 11,545    550 ft   (1,2d6)[1] longsword 4 lbs
 11,545    550 ft   at least this floor hasn't been a complete 
 11,545    550 ft   disappointment
 11,565    550 ft   special curved sword...
 11,565    550 ft   must be cursed?
 11,578    550 ft   oh nice!
 11,578    550 ft   amber amulet of constitution <+1>
 11,832    550 ft   700 turns to retrace 550 ft
 11,832    600 ft   600 ft again
 12,022    600 ft   Encountered Gilim, the Giant of Eruman
 12,050    600 ft   Slew Gilim, the Giant of Eruman
 12,171    600 ft   this cloak better not be of winter's chill
 12,172    600 ft   niiiiiiice
 12,172    600 ft   cloak of warmth [+2]
 12,172    600 ft   at least i won't be losing potions to serpents now
 12,172    600 ft   (not as much anyways)
 12,172    600 ft   i still absolutely need fire resist soon though
 12,200    600 ft   (-2,3d5) battle axe of nargothrond
 12,200    600 ft   i think that's a keeper
 12,219    600 ft   surprisingly easy to pop open that small steel chest
 12,446    600 ft   pair of greaves [-1,1d2] {special} 8.5 lbs
 12,446    600 ft   hope it's orodreth
 12,446    600 ft   i'll take anything for resists right now
 12,447    600 ft   mm nope
 12,448    600 ft   could be danger...or free action
 12,448    600 ft   where's a caltrop when you need one
 12,497    600 ft   greaves are free action
 12,497    600 ft   but i think irime's far superior right now
 12,502    600 ft   nice, recharging staff from another small steel chest 
 12,502    600 ft   gave me 2 charges on _earthquakes
 12,670    600 ft   brass lantern (1110 turns) {special}
 12,670    600 ft   brightness please?
 12,671    600 ft   must be true sight
 12,671    600 ft   since it doesn't auto-id
 12,793    600 ft   yup, brass lantern of true sight id'ed by shadow spider
 12,793    600 ft   miracle the spider even hit me
 12,793    600 ft   11 to-hit to my 24 evasion, 31 to 30, beat my roll by 1
 12,971    600 ft   gonna venture deeper
 12,971    600 ft   not like i can scum 550 ft much longer anyways
 13,009    650 ft   (0,2d6)[1] {special} 2.5 lb longsword
 13,009    650 ft   narsil...?
 13,009    650 ft   or wishful thinking?
 13,009    650 ft   could be fury or hador's house too
 13,010    650 ft   Found The Longsword 'Narsil'
 13,010    650 ft   'You are wielding a Longsword (+0,2d6)[+1] {special}'
 13,010    650 ft   'It glows with a wondrous light.'
 13,010    650 ft   what sweet words to read
 13,010    650 ft   now the question is...
 13,010    650 ft   narsil in the mainhand and deathblade in the offhand?
 13,010    650 ft   or vice versa?
 13,010    650 ft   narsil also solves my immediate light problem
 13,010    650 ft   think i'll go concentration before constitution this run 
 13,010    650 ft   with that amulet of constitution and hurin, i can get 
 13,010    650 ft   a decent health pool when threatened
 13,010    650 ft   and i now won't have to worry about extra dices from 
 13,010    650 ft   lack of resists
 13,010    650 ft   concentration will counteract the poor to-hit on hurin
 13,010    650 ft   8 extra health won't help me beat a unique as much as 
 13,010    650 ft   5 extra to-hit will
 13,010    650 ft   the extra health just helps make sure my edain doesn't 
 13,010    650 ft   get one shot by poor rng
 13,010    650 ft   think this decision shouldn't come back to bite me 
 13,010    650 ft   in the ass as long as i don't get entranced or forget to 
 13,010    650 ft   wield narsil for resistance against breath attacks
 13,024    650 ft   very consistent 4d11s on sleeping fire-drake hatchlings
 13,025    650 ft   (Focused attack)
 13,025    650 ft   (Concentration)
 13,331    650 ft   5d11 for 30 dmg on sleeping sapphire serpent
 13,337    650 ft   oooooouch
 13,337    650 ft   7d11 for 42 dmg on sleeping fire-drake hatchling
 13,754    650 ft   what?
 13,754    650 ft   a potion that doesn't auto-id, is not clarity, voice, or 
 13,754    650 ft   slow poison?
 13,756    650 ft   wow
 13,756    650 ft   no way
 13,756    650 ft   i didn't id gray potions because if you chug a potion of 
 13,756    650 ft   confusion while already confused it won't id
 13,756    650 ft   i was searching for !clarity at the time
 13,756    650 ft   i just assumed those potions were !voice
 13,756    650 ft   and now i've carried 3 !confusion for thousands of turns 
 13,817    650 ft   (-1)[-3,2d4] mail corslet {special}
 13,817    650 ft   either rpois or blight
 13,911    700 ft   700 ft
 13,911    700 ft   not looking forward to grotesques
 13,911    700 ft   would like a gauntlet of strength soon...
 13,911    700 ft   or angrist or something
 13,916    700 ft   nothing particularly threatening on this floor
 13,916    700 ft   _foes reveals 2 grotesques though
 14,210    700 ft   mail corslet of venom's end id'ed on werewolf
 14,317    700 ft   oooo
 14,317    700 ft   gauntlets of strength (-1)[0,1d1]<+1>
 14,317    700 ft   perhaps i can take these grotesques now?
 14,319    700 ft   damn
 14,319    700 ft   wish i had more _understandings
 14,319    700 ft   beryl ring has to be some resistance
 14,384    700 ft   niiiice
 14,384    700 ft   used a !str to kill both grotesques
 14,389    700 ft   and just in time
 14,389    700 ft   strength returned to normal 5 turns after
 14,389    700 ft   though i only got 1 extra damage side out of it
 14,443    700 ft   'You hear grinding noises'
 14,443    700 ft   Kemenrauko time
 14,686    700 ft   nice to be able to sneak up on cat warriors
 14,686    700 ft   they're such a nuisance if you have to fight them fairly 
 14,758    750 ft   750 ft
 14,758    750 ft   turn count isn't terrible despite backtracking 
 14,765    750 ft   young cold-drake
 14,802    750 ft   up to +5 bonus on rauko-bane now
 14,823    750 ft   young cold-drake actually didn't even get to touch me
 14,823    750 ft   only 13 investment in melee, 14 in evasion atm
 14,829    750 ft   Encountered Umuiyan, the Doorkeeper
 14,831    750 ft   sweet!
 14,831    750 ft   wait
 14,831    750 ft   i should turn off cruel blow
 14,831    750 ft   umuiyan spawned in a deadend of chasms
 14,831    750 ft   but cruel blow will send him tumbling down
 14,831    750 ft   pretty funny to watch a cat fall off ledges
 14,831    750 ft   but i still want his goodies
 14,832    750 ft   sulraukos fleeing me on sight now i see
 14,832    750 ft   killed 15 of them already
 14,834    750 ft   emerald serpent spawned surrounded by chasms
 14,834    750 ft   with a potion of poison next to him
 14,834    750 ft   that is some coincidence
 14,839    750 ft   'Umuiyan, the Doorkeeper panics.'
 14,839    750 ft   every turn
 14,839    750 ft   agress 39 now
 14,839    750 ft   a cornered cat can still be dangerous
 14,839    750 ft   he actually gives pretty nasty scratches
 14,843    750 ft   Aggress 48 wow
 14,845    750 ft   Slew Umuiyan, the Doorkeeper
 14,846    750 ft   got him up to Aggress 51 before he died
 14,868    750 ft   Encountered Smaug the Golden
 14,868    750 ft   smaug...
 14,868    750 ft   this one is terribly dangerous
 14,868    750 ft   200 feet out of depth
 14,870    750 ft   20d4 fire breathe will be cut down to 10d4
 14,870    750 ft   9 perception
 14,870    750 ft   my stealth is 9
 14,870    750 ft   even with stealth mode, if i'm looting the squares 
 14,870    750 ft   right next to him, there's very high chance he wakes up
 14,871    750 ft   christ
 14,871    750 ft   i think that's 3 artefacts potentially next to him
 14,871    750 ft   kite shield of the swan
 14,871    750 ft   dagger of narsil
 14,871    750 ft   nargil rather
 14,871    750 ft   and boots of taur-nu-fuin?
 14,871    750 ft   i'll return later
 14,871    750 ft   just have to be wary of false floors
 14,871    750 ft   no, even if i come back later, i won't be significantly  
 14,871    750 ft   stronger
 14,871    750 ft   almost forgot to turn cruel blow back on
 14,894    750 ft   Slew Smaug the Golden
 14,895    750 ft   wow
 14,895    750 ft   i only took 10 dmg?
 14,895    750 ft   didn't even get lucky with rolls or anything
 14,895    750 ft   cruel blow didn't proc once
 14,895    750 ft   17 will is probably too high for it
 14,895    750 ft   he didn't breath fire at me though
 14,895    750 ft   in the end, i could have won with just a !quickness
 14,895    750 ft   didn't need to pop !constitution
 14,895    750 ft   good thing i didn't pop a !dex or charge of _earthquakes 
 14,895    750 ft   really thought i'd need at least one of those two
 14,901    750 ft   Found The Kite Shield of Fingolfin
 14,902    750 ft   kite shield of fingolfin, not the swan
 14,902    750 ft   shame i won't be using it
 14,902    750 ft   good shield there
 14,904    750 ft   Found The Pair of Boots of Taur-nu-Fuin
 14,904    750 ft   i don't remember taur-nu-fuin giving perception and 
 14,904    750 ft   stealth
 14,904    750 ft   that makes it significantly better
 14,904    750 ft   i hope dropping irime isn't a mistake
 14,904    750 ft   my maximum light radius is still 4
 14,976    750 ft   i don't get it
 14,976    750 ft   what is this dagger?
 14,976    750 ft   it doesn't auto-id
 14,976    750 ft   it doesn't even id when i stab something with it
 14,976    750 ft   oh wait
 14,976    750 ft   maybe i have to find a dragon?
 15,000    750 ft   (Constitution)
 15,000    750 ft   and that wraps up the core skills
 15,000    750 ft   49 health pool
 15,000    750 ft   let's get our combat stats up 
 15,014    750 ft   even lesser vampires can't detect me
 15,045    750 ft   Encountered Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
 15,045    750 ft   oh
 15,045    750 ft   mm
 15,045    750 ft   cats must have alerted him
 15,045    750 ft   don't really like this situation
 15,045    750 ft   have no idea who turkano has with him
 15,045    750 ft   and cats and kemenrauko could make this really nasty
 15,142    750 ft   Destroyed Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
 15,143    750 ft   that was surprisingly tough
 15,143    750 ft   i had +32 to-hit on his 19 evasion
 15,143    750 ft   but 5d4 protection is tough to get through
 15,288    750 ft   Found The Dagger of Azaghal
 15,288    750 ft   young cold-drake confused me 
 15,288    750 ft   through 14 will
 15,288    750 ft   dagger of Azaghal, not nargil
 15,288    750 ft   i guess my memory of artefacts is rusty
 15,330    750 ft   battle axe of hador's house (-3,3d6)
 15,330    750 ft   worth keeping just to extract sils
 15,761    750 ft   ahh
 15,761    750 ft   darkness
 15,761    750 ft   stacked amethyst serpents?
 15,778    750 ft   they can bash doors?
 15,778    750 ft   damn i knew i should have prioritized the serpent first
 15,805    750 ft   need to separate these serpents somehow
 15,853    750 ft   what
 15,855    750 ft   what is even going on right now
 15,855    750 ft   a shadow spider?
 15,855    750 ft   an amethyst serpent?
 15,855    750 ft   and a creeping horror now?
 15,855    750 ft   what was i even fighting before?
 16,225    800 ft   800 ft
 16,250    800 ft   well
 16,250    800 ft   there's calris
 16,250    800 ft   dropped from a cat assassin
 16,252    800 ft   Found The Greatsword 'Calris'
 16,269    800 ft   now that is nargil right
 16,269    800 ft   (5,1d5) dagger?
 16,269    800 ft   (1,1d8)[2] defender shortsword guarded by young 
 16,269    800 ft   fire-drake
 16,269    800 ft   tempting
 16,402    800 ft   7d11 for 46 on sleeping lesser vampire
 16,622    800 ft   Found The Dagger of Nargil
 16,622    800 ft   nargil might be worth keeping for serpents
 16,638    800 ft   silver amulet...
 16,638    800 ft   preservation?
 16,672    800 ft   ~5000 satiety
 16,763    800 ft   first ururauko
 16,816    800 ft   6d11 for 37 dmg on young cold-drake :)
 16,816    800 ft   must be rough waking up to that
 16,816    800 ft   even got him confused
 16,862    800 ft   13 turns to kill grotesque with battle axe of 
 16,862    800 ft   hador's house (-3,3d6)
 17,057    800 ft   it's quiet
 17,057    800 ft   too quiet...
 17,057    800 ft   half of the floor is practically uninhabited
 17,089    800 ft   Encountered Tevildo, Prince of Cats
 17,089    800 ft   ack
 17,089    800 ft   what annoying terrain to fight these two on
 17,114    800 ft   Slew Tevildo, Prince of Cats
 17,182    800 ft   Encountered Oikeroi, Guard of Tevildo
 17,183    800 ft   there he is
 17,183    800 ft   somehow managed to separate the two this game
 17,190    800 ft   Slew Oikeroi, Guard of Tevildo
 17,331    800 ft   woooah
 17,331    800 ft   7d11 for 47 dmg, one shot sleeping cave troll
 17,466    850 ft   850 ft
 17,533    850 ft   darting horror
 17,533    850 ft   good thing we have a brass lantern of true sight
 17,533    850 ft   even though i'd prefer a brass lantern of brightness
 17,630    850 ft   first ancient serpent
 17,763    850 ft   adamant serpent
 18,185    850 ft   one shot an amethyst serpent from sleep (6d11 for 53)
 18,427    850 ft   4 turns to kill a grotesque? lucky me
 18,504    850 ft   no longer full
 18,890    850 ft   wow
 18,890    850 ft   that's like the 4th brass lantern of true sight 
 18,890    850 ft   can't i get some variety?
 18,937    850 ft   shame that cloak wasn't thingol
 18,937    850 ft   winter's chill id'ed
 19,057    850 ft   the primary threat to me now is lack of light
 19,057    850 ft   cat assassins can be really nasty too
 19,057    850 ft   i think i can handle any uniques 
 19,057    850 ft   last couple of levels have been generous 
 19,057    850 ft   with consumables
 19,057    850 ft   so i'm sitting on 8 ,rage, 6 ,restoration
 19,057    850 ft   6 !orcish liquor, 9 !healing, 6 !quickness, 3 !str
 19,057    850 ft   1 !dex, 7 !con, 3 !grace, 4 !miruvor, and 2 !voice
 19,057    850 ft   hope i find more !dex
 19,057    850 ft   otherwise, assuming i don't spend any more consumables
 19,057    850 ft   this guy's almost throne room ready
 19,057    850 ft   need some rings of damage or accuracy +3/+4
 19,057    850 ft   rings of strength won't help here
 19,057    850 ft   assuming i get momentum, i can only use 5 lb of sides on 
 19,057    850 ft   that deathblade
 19,057    850 ft   when i !str, i'll have 6 strength
 19,057    850 ft   which gives me 1d14, which is very respectable
 19,057    850 ft   +4 accuracy rings might be optimal here tbh
 19,057    850 ft   awkward to have to swap between greaves of free action
 19,057    850 ft   and boots of taur-nu-fuin
 19,057    850 ft   hoping for celebrimbor or something, an artefact that 
 19,057    850 ft   gives me free action in a non-feet slot
 19,057    850 ft   only 9 artefacts found this game so far
 19,057    850 ft   should still have time for ~10 more?
 19,057    850 ft   i don't think i've missed any either
 19,057    850 ft   other than that early false floor
 19,057    850 ft   ive been full clearing
 19,057    850 ft   i can eke out an extra light radius via 
 19,057    850 ft   song of the trees
 19,057    850 ft   but when it comes to ancient amethyst serpents
 19,057    850 ft   i don't see 5 light radius being sufficient
 19,057    850 ft   really just need a faenorian lamp
 19,057    850 ft   if i don't find one, might grind 850 - 900 ft
 19,057    850 ft   i don't think unique vaults spawn pre-950 ft
 19,057    850 ft   and those are usually the ones with multiple ancient 
 19,057    850 ft   amythyst serpents in close proximity
 19,057    850 ft   gwathrauko can be somewhat counteracted with my 
 19,057    850 ft   shortsword of nargothrond (1,1d7)[1] 1.5 lbs
 19,117    900 ft   900 ft
 19,218    900 ft   robe of permanence id'ed on vampire
 19,512    900 ft   special brass lantern?
 19,512    900 ft   brightness please?
 19,518    900 ft   nice, that's one extra light radius
 19,586    900 ft   mithril greaves of free action [0,1d2]
 19,586    900 ft   not bad
 19,609    900 ft   10 cloudy potions of healing now
 19,635    900 ft   _foes reveals nothing too dangerous on this floor
 19,635    900 ft   great cold-drake and gwathrauko only notable enemies
 19,635    900 ft   ancient sapphire and ruby serpents as well actually
 19,694    900 ft   i need _sanctity...
 19,694    900 ft   scared to wear any rings and amulets right now
 20,020    900 ft   7d8 for 33 on sleeping cold-drake
 20,020    900 ft   great cold-drake, that is
 20,020    900 ft   (Clarity)
 20,075    900 ft   it's a sad sad day when even great drake hoards are dry
 20,151    900 ft   6d11 for 35 dmg on our first gwathrauko
 20,151    900 ft   taur-nu-fuin is making me just stealthy enough 
 20,196    900 ft   3 turns to kill ancient ruby serpent, not bad
 20,196    900 ft   nargil is doing its job
 20,347    900 ft   no longer full
 20,370    950 ft   950 ft
 20,370    950 ft   nargothrond shortsword is lit up
 20,370    950 ft   at least no false floors to worry about now
 20,397    950 ft   Encountered Draugluin, Sire of Werewolves
 20,397    950 ft   damn
 20,397    950 ft   was hoping it wasn't him
 20,397    950 ft   awful place to fight
 20,469    950 ft   Slew Draugluin, Sire of Werewolves
 20,501    950 ft   Found The Wolf-Hame of Draugluin
 20,539    950 ft   first silent watcher
 20,539    950 ft   nargil is not going to do the trick
 20,582    950 ft   ugh
 20,582    950 ft   ~40 turns?
 20,582    950 ft   actually that felt worse than it actually was
 20,582    950 ft   managed to take it out with battle axe of hador's house
 20,650    950 ft   getting a lot of mileage out of those orcish liquors
 20,650    950 ft   still have 2 left, and 12 !healing, 1 ,healing
 20,650    950 ft   4 miruvor
 20,678    950 ft   need !dex for sure though
 20,725    950 ft   digger please!
 20,733    950 ft   would suck if this run ended because i got myself stuck
 20,769    950 ft   first ring of accuracy
 20,769    950 ft   +2 bonus, kinda meh but i'll keep it
 20,805    950 ft   first ancient spider
 20,805    950 ft   (29,1d11)(21,2d6) [27,5-14] decent stats i think
 20,805    950 ft   should be okay?
 20,806    950 ft   ahhh
 20,806    950 ft   he landed a hit on first try
 20,806    950 ft   and rolled a 2 on a 2d19
 20,911    950 ft   7d8 for 34 on sleeping great cold-drake
 20,923    950 ft   Found The Sceptre of Thu
 20,923    950 ft   was not expecting that
 20,923    950 ft   can't keep it for sure though
 20,946    950 ft   no longer full again
 20,946    950 ft   satiety will last until 26000 turns or so
 20,976    950 ft   i'm always surprised when narsil lands a hit
 20,976    950 ft   5d6 on a troll guard, not bad
 20,986    950 ft   woooah
 20,986    950 ft   troll guard dropped me a _sanctity
 20,986    950 ft   and another one in the pack dropped me _understanding
 21,171    950 ft   what
 21,171    950 ft   i one shot an ancient ruby serpent?!
 21,171    950 ft   8d5 on nargil for 28 dmg
 21,171    950 ft   ummm ok
 21,237    950 ft   last unid'ed herb

 21,238    950 ft   yep
 21,251    950 ft   8d8 for 33 on young fire-drake
 21,252    950 ft   only 2 hits to get him to flee
 21,253    950 ft   and opportunist does the rest
 21,358    950 ft   small jewelled chest
 21,358    950 ft   can we open it?
 21,359    950 ft   disarmed on first try, that's a good sign
 21,360    950 ft   and opened on second try
 21,360    950 ft   just staves though, one slumber, one understanding
 21,377    950 ft   aaaaaaah

 21,399    950 ft   dropping 3 orcish liquors
 21,399    950 ft   i think with 12 !healing, i won't be needing those
 21,500    950 ft   (Dexterity)
 21,500    950 ft   30 to-hit, whew
 21,525    950 ft   and now, 20 melee, 20 evasion investment
 21,525    950 ft   73715 total experience
 21,525    950 ft   momentum should be the next goal
 21,525    950 ft   requires follow-through though
 21,525    950 ft   could even do rapid attack 
 21,582    950 ft   niiiice
 21,582    950 ft   !dex
 21,583    950 ft   6d11 for 36 on troll guard
 21,583    950 ft   trolls are just training dummies at this point
 21,583    950 ft   they exist to let the player feel good about their dmg
 21,622    950 ft   Encountered Gostir, the Dread Glance
 21,655    950 ft   that...was kinda scary
 21,655    950 ft   3d13 is no joke

 21,659    950 ft   Slew Gostir, the Dread Glance

 22,776    900 ft   nice!
 22,776    900 ft   this one isn't cursed either
 22,880    900 ft   think this is an artefact shadow cloak
 22,880    900 ft   luthien?
 22,880    900 ft   does not auto-id
 22,882    900 ft   huh?
 22,882    900 ft   it was a shadow cloak of stealth [4]<3>
 22,882    900 ft   why didn't it auto-id then?

 23,276    950 ft   didn't even need a sharp weapon
 23,611    950 ft   ruby amulet of the blessed realm <+1>
 23,612    950 ft   tempting but no

 24,986    900 ft   shame

 25,348    900 ft   dagorhir?
 25,646    950 ft   950 ft again #2
 25,729    950 ft   mattock of belegost and _treasures still haven't spawned 
 25,729    950 ft   this game
 25,729    950 ft   i have 8 charges of _earthquakes, so hopefully that's 
 25,729    950 ft   sufficient to get me out of situations that need a 
 25,729    950 ft   mattock of belegost
 25,921    950 ft   Encountered Ancalagon the Black
 25,921    950 ft   well now
 25,921    950 ft   there's a dangerous foe
 25,933    950 ft   Slew Ancalagon the Black
 25,934    950 ft   yep, that was scary
 25,995    950 ft   last unid'ed ring
 25,995    950 ft   turquoise ring must be protection?
 25,996    950 ft   ah no
 25,996    950 ft   ring of warmth also hasn't been id'ed yet
 25,997    950 ft   and that's exactly what it was
 26,018    950 ft   Entered the Cat Fortress
 26,019    950 ft   cat fortress...
 26,019    950 ft   that one might actually be the most dangerous

 26,098    950 ft   Encountered Dagorhir, the Elfbane
 26,099    950 ft   there they all are to greet me
 26,112    950 ft   Slew Dagorhir, the Elfbane
 26,226    950 ft   that must be kite shield of hador
 26,228    950 ft   Found The Kite Shield of Hador
 26,251    950 ft   how can this gwathrauko sleep so soundly near all that 
 26,251    950 ft   screaming and clanging weapons?
 26,251    950 ft   must be some really soundproof walls these cats have
 26,260    950 ft   what the fuck?
 26,260    950 ft   i have 8 light radius here
 26,260    950 ft   what is so dark i can't see it?
 26,289    950 ft   angrist perhaps?
 26,290    950 ft   Found The Dagger 'Angrist'
 26,290    950 ft   good stuff
 26,338    950 ft   so whatever was that dark didn't chase me...
 26,338    950 ft   i think it might be stacked gwathraukos?
 26,338    950 ft   they ran instead
 26,338    950 ft   just found a faenorian lamp of brightness
 26,338    950 ft   with all that light it's got to be enough right?
 26,352    950 ft   some very nice loot in this cat fortress
 26,352    950 ft   lots of consumables mostly
 26,354    950 ft   Found The Longbow 'Belthronding'
 26,417    950 ft   first ancient amethyst serpent
 26,471    950 ft   3 stacked gwathraukos
 26,471    950 ft   that'd do it
 26,553    950 ft   great fire-drake
 26,553    950 ft   possibly capable of entrancing me through free action
 26,557    950 ft   whew 4d14 for 43 on great fire-drake, no assassination 
 26,557    950 ft   bonus
 26,561    950 ft   didn't take a hit, but if i did, that'd be pretty scary
 26,574    950 ft   Found The Pair of Greaves of the Helcaraxe
 26,660    950 ft   (Song of Sharpness)
 26,813    950 ft   6d14 for 54 dmg on sleeping adamant serpent

 26,910    950 ft   8d14 for 62 on troll guard
 26,910    950 ft   that might be the first time i've one shot them
 26,988    950 ft   well, there's another
 26,988    950 ft   8d14 for 71, one shot troll guard
 27,241    950 ft   huh
 27,241    950 ft   we actually killed a nameless thing
 27,241    950 ft   that's a good sign
 27,241    950 ft   didn't try until now 
 27,399    950 ft   alright
 27,399    950 ft   this might be the last 950 ft
 27,399    950 ft   hoping for vallach or gothmog so i don't have to deal 
 27,399    950 ft   with either in throne room
 27,399    950 ft   950 revisited...#3?
 27,512    950 ft   kemenrauko this deep?

 28,221    950 ft   7d14 for 69 on troll guard
 28,396    950 ft   hungry!
 28,457    950 ft   oh
 28,457    950 ft   looks like we can do another 950 ft after all
 28,457    950 ft   cutting it real close though
 28,457    950 ft   to be fair, other than a better mattock, there's not 
 28,457    950 ft   much i want or need
 28,460    950 ft   950 ft!
 28,464    950 ft   now we can take our sweet time
 28,464    950 ft   (and try not to starve)

Finally got my last Edain combo win. For some reason, I struggled quite a bit to get this combo going. Took more tries than Hador and Beor together. May have to do with my investment in leaping and eye for detail early on, which makes navigating easier, but also delays flanking/dodging/concentration. Also played slower because I didn't want this Minath to end up like the last one that got to 1000 ft.

Accidentally exceeded my weight limit and got slowed without realizing it against an Easterling pack, which got me nearly killed on 350 ft. Ended up forcing me to use all of my healing consumables.

Only fell through one false floor, and checking the game log on mpa-sil afterwards revealed 0 artefacts missed, which is pretty rare for me and a big win in my books.

RNG refused to give me any resists so I backtracked once through 550 ft. Had to fight both Duruin and Delthaur without fire resist, which wouldn't have been possible without rauko-bane probably. RNG also later refused to give me a faenorian lamp until 950 ft. Never even found a mattock of Belegost.

The bright spots of this run were the (5,1d9)[1] 2.5 lb deathblade on 550 ft and Narsil on 650 ft, which solved my resistance troubles. Even though I never found any rings of accuracy or evasion above +2, I had no trouble finding 2 rings of damage <+1>.

Morgoth fight was closer than I thought. I had around (40,1d16) (30,2d11) when buffed and singing song of slaying, which I thought would be more than enough. Maybe I overestimated my deathblade. Or maybe I underestimated how much of a difference subtlety/rapid attack make, since I took neither. I didn't bother to sing song of sharpness or use woven themes because I didn't see how it could have really helped. I had 5 grace when buffed, for 49 points of voice. I didn't want to deplete it faster for a measly 16% protection reduction. But who knows, maybe it would have mattered. Every edge you have over Morgoth's regeneration is valuable.

Took some extra effort this run to document the turn count when I reach a new floor to use as a baseline for comparison for future runs.

Took a look back at my other wins...

Turn count between encountering Morgoth and slaying him for different combos:

Faenor: 108
Fingolfin: 190
Nogrod: 2469
Belegost: 161
Fala: 27
Hador: 268
Beor: 122
Haleth: 142

So actually, this one was one of the fastest killers of Morgoth. Beor was faster using a subtlety/rapid attack build. Faenor was faster using I believe Saithnar with 2 smithed +2 damage rings and a robe of great speed (this run was poorly documented). Interestingly enough, Lascare didn't take rapid attack, two-weapon fighting (only taken post-throne room), or momentum. Fala was an outlier because she was the only archer.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have my Nogrod, who took a whopping 2469 turns to kill Morgoth because I got engorged with him at a quarter health. I was able to stall out the fight until I could eat again because of great speed mithril corslet. It's a miracle that run even won.

If I compare turn count between finding the crown and slaying him:

Feanor: 97 (Weaponsmith)(Finesse)
The Greatsword of Saithnar (+0,3d5) [+1] {@w2} 7.0 lb

Nogrod: 2175 (Weaponsmith)(Power)
The Great Axe 'Skysplitter' (-4,4d4) {@w2} 8.0 lb It is branded with venom. It cuts easily through armour.

Beor: 84 (Finesse)(Concentration)(Riposte)(Momentum)(Rapid Attack)(Subtlety)(Cruel Blow)

Haleth: 128 (Finesse)(Cruel Blow)(Two Weapon Fighting)(Concentration)(Dexterity)(Momentum)
Deathblade (+5,1d9) [+1] 2.5 lb
The Longsword 'Narsil' (+0,2d6) [+1] 2.5 lb

Paints a different picture. Neither measure is reliable since you don't fight Morgoth in a vacuum. Other uniques and unrelenting horrors can join the fight, which would lengthen the turns between encountering him and slaying him. The second measure can be misleading if you don't see the crown when it drops due to rubble blocking sight, as probably was the case for my Belegost and Fala. Still, I think the second measure is more precise. It certainly is more in line with what I felt, i.e. Fingolfin did not struggle (my comments back then said it was the strongest character I've ever made) but my Haleth did. I also remember my Hador doing exceptionally well with Aeglos.

So when ranked...

Belegost (5), Fala (8), Hador (33), Fingolfin (37), Beor (84), Feanor (97), Haleth (128), Nogrod (2175)

Generally, it seems archery is strongest, which would make sense. Guaranteed 3 dice with flaming arrows. Rapid fire. Halves Morgoth evasion. Free 50% sharpness with arrows of piercing.

Aeglos might have played a big part in the success of my Hador. Guaranteed 2 dice. Strength from skill, gloves, and ring. 6 base strength. Momentum. !str cancels out the -3 strength from rapid attack. So I was getting 2x2d15s guaranteed. 3 lbs isn't so heavy that I can't get crits.

I think my Fingolfin just brute forced Morgoth with +50 to-hit. Puzzled how I managed to get my slaying bonus that high. Haven't been able to replicate it. Perhaps I just charged in through the middle and rushed him down before the bonus had a chance to fall. Glamdring and Narsil aren't sharp, but when you crit that much, it doesn't matter. Had 2 rings of damage <+1> and gauntlets of strength. So 2d13 with Glamdring. 2d9 with Narsil (-3 from two weapon fighting, +3 from !str, 4 str after accounting for gauntlets).

Beor is next. The first subtlety/riposte build so far, and the first one using a deathblade. My impression of subtlety builds are very optimistic, and that might be because they are unreliable but their highs are very noticeable.

I'm surprised Feanor was this far down. Perhaps I haven't found the right build yet. I didn't take rapid attack, two weapon fighting, momentum, or subtlety, and those skills probably make more difference than raw stats. Plus I was using pretty plain weapons, Saithnar or a mundane sharp longsword in my other game (Arievalim), which means I certainly wasn't taking advantage of my smithing skill to its full extent. Didn't forge a masterpiece weapon before throne room in either game.

And then we have Haleth, this game. You'd think I'd do better with a +5 deathblade. But I should have done this analysis before the game instead of after. Then I would have realized this game would be like the Beor game, except I had no riposte and no subtlety. Two weapon fighting with 1 dice primary weapons and low song of slaying bonus isn't a great combo. I gimp the 1 dice primary weapon because I can't use subtlety for extra crit on it. And I gimp the off-hand weapon because I lose strength and dexterity on it, and my slaying bonus isn't enough to make up for it. That said, I still did alright and it was a fairly clean fight. I just had to blow through more consumables than I wanted.

Belegost and Nogrod were outliers. Reading my comments, Nogrod is probably ~69 turns if I didn't gorge myself (3 str + 2 str from ring + 3 str from potion + power + poison brand = 5d13 with sharpness. Low to-hit though due to dwarven dexterity and -4 from great axe). My comments said Belegost was able to kill Morgoth without concentration, but I took it to speed things up. After I took it, it took 39 turns (4 str + power + 3 str from potion + 1 str from gauntlets = 3d16 with sharpness). So they'd be between Fingolfin and Beor. I guess it makes some sense they would do better than my Feanors because I actually took the effort to smith decent weapons for them.
