 14,612    800 ft   up to 22 smithing right now
 14,612    800 ft   can i make something game-changing if i find a forge?
 15,100    800 ft   Made The Helm 'Lionheart' [-1,1d2]  5.0 lb
 15,214    850 ft   850 ft
 15,214    850 ft   hope nothing too nasty on this floor
 15,216    850 ft   _treasures reveals a decent amount of loot this floor
 15,216    850 ft   i want that galvorn armour of venom's end
 15,216    850 ft   those herbs of healing will help tremendously as well
 15,216    850 ft   but with this much loot, i can only assume there are 
 15,216    850 ft   uniques this floor
 15,500    850 ft   (Song of Aule)
 15,529    850 ft   Encountered Gostir, the Dread Glance
 15,529    850 ft   yea, i knew there was gonna be a dragon unique behind 
 15,529    850 ft   that door
 15,529    850 ft   good thing i rested
 15,555    850 ft   Slew Gostir, the Dread Glance
 15,556    850 ft   used 1 !dex, 1 !grace, and 1 charge of _earthquakes
 15,556    850 ft   worth it
 15,566    850 ft   [0,1d8] is much better than [-2,1d7]
 15,566    850 ft   this galvorn armour is a keeper
 15,715    850 ft   oo, we have 30 evasion now?
 15,721    850 ft   Encountered Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
 15,721    850 ft   THAT IS NOT FUN
 15,721    850 ft   one of my least favorite uniques
 15,721    850 ft   too much rng in who he brings with him
 15,721    850 ft   on the bright side...if we kill him here, we won't see
 15,721    850 ft   him again...
 15,724    850 ft   awesome...
 15,724    850 ft   so there's at least a kemenrauko and a ururauko in here
 15,725    850 ft   and it looks like more vampires?
 15,728    850 ft   make that 2 ururaukos
 15,728    850 ft   no...3 ururaukos damn it
 15,728    850 ft   (26,4d10)
 15,917    850 ft   Destroyed Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
 15,957    850 ft   25 smithing
 15,957    850 ft   spent an herb of healing, 2 !quickness, 1 !dex
 15,957    850 ft   and 3 charges of _earthquakes...
 15,957    850 ft   i'm really squeaking by this game
 16,072    850 ft   Turkano dropped me a mithril gauntlets of swordplay 
 16,072    850 ft   [0,1d2] 1.5 lbs
 16,072    850 ft   and a small jewelled chest with a longbow of radiance
 16,072    850 ft   and a longbow of quickness
 16,072    850 ft   decent drops, i suppose
 16,108    850 ft   oh
 16,108    850 ft   is that shortsword of galadriel?
 16,112    850 ft   Found The Shortsword of Galadriel
 16,112    850 ft   couldn't even see it in all the mayhem earlier
 16,112    850 ft   well and the darkness
 16,112    850 ft   i think a random vampire or troll guard dropped it?
 16,112    850 ft   wait vampires don't even drop anything
 16,112    850 ft   must have been a troll then?
 16,190    850 ft   good thing i baited out his breath
 16,289    850 ft   ancient...ruby...serpent
 16,289    850 ft   give me a sharp weapon already...
 16,291    850 ft   Encountered Tevildo, Prince of Cats
 16,291    850 ft   Tevildo...
 16,291    850 ft   Oikeroi is nearby then
 16,295    850 ft   Encountered Oikeroi, Guard of Tevildo
 16,438    850 ft   Slew Tevildo, Prince of Cats
 16,523    850 ft   Found The Longbow 'Wyrm's End'
 16,523    850 ft   now where is oikeroi...
 16,566    850 ft   Slew Oikeroi, Guard of Tevildo
 16,566    850 ft   finally
 16,764    850 ft   6d8 for 28 on spider of gorgoroth, 1 shot
 17,500    850 ft   (Two Weapon Fighting)
 17,504    850 ft   Galadriel online
 17,504    850 ft   goodbye kite shield of deflection (-2)[2,1d6] 10 lbs
 17,504    850 ft   i hope i don't regret leaving you
 17,504    850 ft   going to have to be careful about cat assassins
 17,504    850 ft   very careful...
 17,504    850 ft   hope i make my great speed artefact before i see the 
 17,504    850 ft   cat fortress
 17,504    850 ft   otherwise, it's going to be very painful
 17,724    900 ft   900 ft
 17,726    900 ft   that's lame
 17,726    900 ft   our _treasures only had like 4 charges total
 17,960    900 ft   belthronding? good find
 17,968    900 ft   Found The Longbow 'Belthronding'
 18,211    900 ft   i can't believe this
 18,211    900 ft   -2 str drain, -1 con drain from 2 vampires
 18,211    900 ft   ugh
 18,295    900 ft   okay okay
 18,295    900 ft   this...is salvageable...
 18,308    900 ft   up to 28 smithing
 18,316    900 ft   3 use forge
 18,829    900 ft   Made The Cloak 'Carpe Diem' (+1) [+2] <+1>  2.0 lb
 19,014    900 ft   great....fire-drake
 19,027    900 ft   6d9 for 30 on great fire-drake
 19,027    900 ft   that went well
 19,027    900 ft   he didn't get to breathe on me
 19,027    900 ft   i popped my !con so i wasn't -2 con drained anymore
 19,027    900 ft   but that was my only one
 19,166    900 ft   ugh...
 19,166    900 ft   drained by vampire again?
 19,166    900 ft   what am i supposed to do here?
 19,535    900 ft   fuckin vampires everywhere
 19,535    900 ft   and such a scarcity of herbs of restoration this game
 19,583    900 ft   ffs!
 19,583    900 ft   vampires keep fleeing from me
 19,583    900 ft   i have 25 to-hit and 29 evasion
 19,583    900 ft   i should be able to land some hits here
 19,583    900 ft   give me 2 herbs of restoration and a 3 use forge
 19,583    900 ft   then escape won't be an option for them
 19,790    900 ft   please have some herbs of restoration on the next floor
 19,790    900 ft   i haven't seen any in ages
 19,790    950 ft   950 ft
 19,790    950 ft   longsword of nargothrond is lit up
 19,791    950 ft   dear lord
 19,791    950 ft   no !con or herb of restoration this floor
 19,791    950 ft   i guess no great speed artefact this game...
 19,882    950 ft   hell yea
 19,882    950 ft   killed a vampire with 2 arrows
 19,883    950 ft   ancient emerald serpent...
 20,004    950 ft   nameless thing...
 20,087    950 ft   first vampire lord
 20,087    950 ft   i'm actually more fearful of vampires and vampire
 20,087    950 ft   lords than i am of uniques...
 20,093    950 ft   he drained my strength before i could take him out
 20,093    950 ft   damn it
 20,093    950 ft   i even quaffed a !grace to lessen the probability of 
 20,093    950 ft   that happening
 20,093    950 ft   i need a robe of permanence or something
 20,210    950 ft   Encountered Ancalagon the Black
 20,211    950 ft   hm
 20,211    950 ft   ancalagon the black is surrounded by 2 nameless things
 20,211    950 ft   i need to lure him away from those
 20,257    950 ft   Slew Ancalagon the Black
 20,276    950 ft   Found The Pair of Boots of Taur-nu-Fuin
 20,276    950 ft   i forgot about these...
 20,276    950 ft   oof, to sacrifice free action for master hunter?
 20,276    950 ft   that's a tough choice
 20,306    950 ft   willow staff of recharging :)
 20,306    950 ft   i think what the game is nudging me to do is
 20,306    950 ft   to _earthquake every vampire lord i see from this point
 20,311    950 ft   aw, only 2 charges on that?
 20,311    950 ft   need to leave maybe 3 charges for morgoth
 20,311    950 ft   so i've got 3 charges to use on vampire lords for now
 20,311    950 ft   unless, of course, i find myself in need of it for 
 20,311    950 ft   gothmog or draugluin or something
 20,338    950 ft   noice, another 1 shot 1 kill on a lesser vampire
 20,364    950 ft   +28 to-hit on vampires with taur-nu-fuin on
 20,508    950 ft   again, drained str and dex by a vampire lord
 20,508    950 ft   even after quaffing !grace
 20,508    950 ft   didn't even get credit for killing the vampire lord 
 20,508    950 ft   because ancient ruby serpent breath killed it
 20,534    950 ft   the worst part is i couldn't _earthquake because there 
 20,534    950 ft   was loot nearby...
 20,534    950 ft   if i can get to a 3 use forge soon, the drain won't be 
 20,534    950 ft   an issue
 20,753    950 ft   oh shit
 20,753    950 ft   what have i walked into?
 20,755    950 ft   Encountered Draugluin, Sire of Werewolves
 20,755    950 ft   right...
 20,769    950 ft   if serpents kill draugluin for me, do i still get 
 20,769    950 ft   the experience?
 20,774    950 ft   STOP
 20,774    950 ft   DRAINING 
 20,774    950 ft   ME
 20,774    950 ft   im just waiting in a bend in the corridor for Draugluin
 20,774    950 ft   and here comes a vampire lord to drain my dex and str
 20,774    950 ft   before i can even react!
 20,829    950 ft   ancient spider
 20,829    950 ft   i think Draugluin fled to the stairs honestly
 20,829    950 ft   the serpent breath was too much for him
 20,829    950 ft   good thing i didn't waste any buffs for him...?
 20,833    950 ft   ancient spider was no match
 20,833    950 ft   took it out in like 2-3 turns
 20,844    950 ft   Found The Necklace of the Dwarves
 20,844    950 ft   aaaaah
 20,844    950 ft   ironically, i prefer my amulet of constitution
 20,844    950 ft   need that sustain con much more than that +1 grace
 20,919    950 ft   first silent watcher...
 20,919    950 ft   can we get through its protection?
 20,951    950 ft   okay, so we can destroy them...
 20,951    950 ft   but i'm not sure it's worth the turns
 21,039    950 ft   up to 31 smithing
 21,039    950 ft   all that without gauntlets of the forge 
 21,039    950 ft   oh i can get up to 32 with necklace of the dwarves
 21,039    950 ft   but i don't know how long i'll keep that around
 21,136    950 ft   first great cold-drake
 21,163    950 ft   oh god
 21,180    950 ft   3 use enchanted forge
 21,180    950 ft   up to 37 smithing
 21,773    950 ft   Made The Leather Armour 'Spirit Shell' (+1) [+0,1d4] 
                    <+1>  6.5 lb 
 21,777    950 ft   keep blessing me with !quickness and i will barely feel
 21,777    950 ft   the effects of not having great speed
 21,777    950 ft   need 1 last 3 use forge before throne room
 21,777    950 ft   2 strength drain to make my artefact weapon
 21,777    950 ft   we're going to need more !str
 21,777    950 ft   we're going to need more !str, !dex, and !con for throne 
 21,777    950 ft   room anyways
 21,777    950 ft   current consumables: 12 ,rage, 4 !miruvor, 2 !healing, 
 21,777    950 ft   4 !voice, 5 !quickness, 1 !str, 1 !dex, 5 !grace
 21,777    950 ft   5 charges on _earthquakes
 21,777    950 ft   -1 str drain, -2 dex drain
 21,777    950 ft   i'll cure those drains when i get forced to
 21,777    950 ft   i know i'm being greedy, but if rng gives me another 3 
 21,777    950 ft   use forge soon, that'd be optimal in terms of 
 21,777    950 ft   conserving my consumables
 21,927    950 ft   vampire lord...
 21,927    950 ft   they can actually drain through sustain stats protection 
 21,927    950 ft   i don't really want to have to burn _earthquakes if i
 21,927    950 ft   don't need to though
 21,927    950 ft   let's see how this goes?
 21,932    950 ft   okay, killed him in 3 turns after stunning him with my
 21,932    950 ft   horn of thunder
 21,932    950 ft   he didn't get to try to drain me
 21,932    950 ft   i think i just got lucky there
 21,932    950 ft   because he clawed me a few times
 21,932    950 ft   claw has +29 to-hit compared to +24 of bites though
 22,023    950 ft   ugh vampire lords hurt
 22,023    950 ft   even when they don't bite me, they are annoying
 22,040    950 ft   6d7 for 34 on sleeping vampire lord
 22,040    950 ft   that's the most efficient way to take them out
 22,040    950 ft   10 stealth isn't going to reliably let me do that though 
 22,137    950 ft   well, time to roll the dice
 22,137    950 ft   maybe, just maybe, this time we'll find some !con or 
 22,137    950 ft   ,restoration?
 22,137    950 ft   though to be fair, i've given up on making a great speed 
 22,137    950 ft   artefact already, so i'd be equally happy with !str or
 22,137    950 ft   !dex
 22,137    950 ft   a sharpness weapon would be welcome too
 22,137    950 ft   too much risk of get stone-walled by ancient serpents
 22,137    950 ft   and silent watchers without one
 22,137    900 ft   900 ft revisited (1st time)
 22,137    900 ft   the threat of false floors return
 22,137    900 ft   time to swap to my rings of perception again
 22,138    900 ft   smallish floor
 22,138    900 ft   1 !miruvor, 1 !quickness, 1 !voice, 1 !str
 22,138    900 ft   _understanding, _recharging, and _earthquakes
 22,138    900 ft   nothing else too interesting
 22,138    900 ft   [-2,1d3] {special} great helm
 22,138    900 ft   not sure if that's an artefact
 22,193    900 ft   okay lesser vampires are fleeing on sight now
 22,193    900 ft   that's good
 22,257    900 ft   okay, so far, so good...
 22,257    900 ft   i've met ~3 vampire lords since forging spirit shell
 22,257    900 ft   and none have managed to drain me
 22,257    900 ft   still going to have to be careful though
 22,257    900 ft   also blew a !healing earlier due to a troll guard 
 22,257    900 ft   getting in a lucky hit before an ururauko showed up
 22,272    900 ft   3 use forge
 22,272    900 ft   rng has been good to me this game about forges
 22,272    900 ft   not a whole lot of stat recovery options and no gloves 
 22,272    900 ft   of forging, but i can make do
 22,736    900 ft   Made The Great Spear 'Ruin' (+0,1d13) [+2]  4.0 lb
 22,751    900 ft   decided to make my artefact weapon here to avoid rng 
 22,751    900 ft   trolling me and only giving me 2 use forges until forced 
 22,751    900 ft   descent
 22,936    900 ft   nice! a troll guard dropped me a !dex
 23,131    900 ft   whew
 23,131    900 ft   killed a young fire-drake in 3 hits
 23,131    900 ft   only our second one encountered
 23,341    900 ft   no fucking way
 23,647    900 ft   3 use forge
 23,647    900 ft   other than another 2 use forge to craft better rings
 23,647    900 ft   i've pretty much upgraded my gear as much as i could
 23,647    900 ft   the rest comes down to finding enough consumables for 
 23,647    900 ft   morgoth
 24,097    900 ft   Made The Set of Mithril Gauntlets of War (+1) [+1,1d2] 
                    <+1>  1.5 lb 
 24,100    900 ft   (29,2d8)(24,1d8)[31,4-9]
 24,100    900 ft   now to hunt for those consumables
 24,100    900 ft   using Ruin would knock off 2 to-hit and 3 evasion 
 24,100    900 ft   and remove access to Riposte
 24,100    900 ft   still, that 2d16 damage is alluring
 24,221    900 ft   Ruin is so good against serpents who don't resist poison 
 24,360    900 ft   praying for herbs of restoration and !con hasn't done me 
 24,360    900 ft   much good this game
 24,360    900 ft   but maybe 8th time the charm?
 24,360    900 ft   don't need herbs of restoration nearly as much as i need 
 24,360    900 ft   more !str, !dex, and !con at this point though
 24,360    900 ft   i doubt 1 !str, 1 !dex, and 0 !con is gonna be enough
 24,360    900 ft   for throne room
 24,360    950 ft   950 ft revisited (1st time)
 24,361    950 ft   that...could be Saithnar
 24,361    950 ft   1 !healing, 2 !quickness, 1 herb of healing
 24,361    950 ft   large wooden chest, small jewelled chest, small steel 
 24,361    950 ft   chest
 24,361    950 ft   perhaps those will provide some consumables?
 24,361    950 ft   even if they do, they rarely if ever give anything other 
 24,361    950 ft   than !healing though iirc
 24,411    950 ft   8d8 for 37 on sleeping troll guard
 24,416    950 ft   Found The Greatsword of Saithnar
 24,416    950 ft   that is a sweet find
 24,423    950 ft   9d8 for 38 on sleeping troll guard
 24,443    950 ft   7d8 for 31 on sleeping vampire, one shot
 24,458    950 ft   Saithnar did 7d8 for 31 on sleeping ancient ruby serpent 
 24,458    950 ft   one shot :)
 24,551    950 ft   another one shot on an unwary ancient ruby serpent
 24,551    950 ft   saithnar is amazing
 24,578    950 ft   kite shield of fingolfin?
 24,579    950 ft   Found The Kite Shield of Fingolfin
 24,696    950 ft   troll guard dropped me a !awkwardness
 24,696    950 ft   that's not funny!
 24,775    950 ft   hehe, killed a vampire lord in his sleep
 24,775    950 ft   6d8 for 33 (32 after his puny 1d4 protection roll)
 25,000    950 ft   (Rapid Attack)
 25,000    950 ft   (Song of Slaying)
 25,127    950 ft   um...interesting
 25,127    950 ft   Draugluin, we meet again
 25,127    950 ft   think i'll circle back for you though
 25,237    950 ft   2 !healing, 2 !quickness out of large wooden chest
 25,237    950 ft   that puts me at 11 !quickness...
 25,237    950 ft   i'd trade half of those for 1 !str, 1 !dex, and 1 !con 
 25,237    950 ft   no questions asked
 25,343    950 ft   9d9 for 49 on sleeping great cold-drake
 25,353    950 ft   8d8 for 28 on sleeping vampire lord, one shot
 25,483    950 ft   i'm at this point where more experience doesn't even 
 25,483    950 ft   help me
 25,483    950 ft   so there's no point killing this nameless thing
 25,539    950 ft   okay y'know what, i think this...might be doable
 25,539    950 ft   with just 1 more !str
 25,539    950 ft   !dex and !con aren't strictly necessary
 25,539    950 ft   the !dex would be nice, but the !str is critical
 25,539    950 ft   !dex can be somewhat made up for with slaying bonus
 25,539    950 ft   !con can be made up for with sufficient evasion and
 25,539    950 ft   sources of healing
 25,539    950 ft   but i need to be doing those 2d16x2s reliably
 25,539    950 ft   the shorter the fight with Morgoth lasts, the less 
 25,539    950 ft   chance things will go wrong
 25,539    950 ft   2d13x2s aren't bad, but will prolong the fight
 25,700    950 ft   Slew Draugluin, Sire of Werewolves
 25,702    950 ft   first hithrauko?
 25,702    950 ft   second...?
 25,726    950 ft   Found The Wolf-Hame of Draugluin
 25,964    950 ft   maybe it's better not to pray?
 25,964    950 ft   though to be fair, Saithnar was one hell of a find
 25,964    900 ft   900 ft revisited (2nd time)
 25,966    900 ft   this run feels so cursed
 25,966    900 ft   i haven't seen an herb of restoration or !con since like 
 25,966    900 ft   700 feet?
 26,158    900 ft   WHAT
 26,158    900 ft   have i ever seen that before?
 26,158    900 ft   2 stacked young fire-drakes
 26,161    900 ft   7d9 for 52 on sleeping young fire-drake
 26,161    900 ft   he's fleeing
 26,161    900 ft   we only have the other one to worry about then
 26,168    900 ft   and the other one's taken care of too
 26,168    900 ft   they could've seriously messed me up if they got to 
 26,168    900 ft   breathe on me
 26,168    900 ft   so it was good to be careful there
 26,584    900 ft   ugh seriously?
 26,584    900 ft   terrified by darting horror through my resist
 27,065    900 ft   6d8 for 30 on sleeping adamant serpent, one shot
 27,398    900 ft   our first gauntlets of the forge
 27,398    900 ft   i don't think it's worth picking up at this point
 27,398    900 ft   i suppose we can get up to 37 smithing if we kept it
 27,398    900 ft   it gives a +2 bonus to smithing
 27,428    950 ft   950 ft revisited (2nd time)
 27,428    950 ft   let's see what we have here...
 27,429    950 ft   'You failed to use the staff properly.'
 27,430    950 ft   wow
 27,430    950 ft   okay, my game is NOT bugged
 27,430    950 ft   2 herbs of restoration on this floor
 27,430    950 ft   not going to help me against morgoth, but...
 27,430    950 ft   i appreciate the gesture
 27,430    950 ft   this will probably be my last floor
 27,430    950 ft   there's a decent amount of food here
 27,430    950 ft   perhaps i can keep running around waiting for monsters 
 27,430    950 ft   to come up stairs so i can farm them for potions?
 27,430    950 ft   not sure how monster generation works
 27,430    950 ft   perhaps if i kill every resident, it triggers more to 
 27,430    950 ft   arrive on the floor?
 27,430    950 ft   or maybe it's turn-based
 27,430    950 ft   regardless, to lose here because of atrocious 
 27,430    950 ft   consumables luck would be just depressing
 27,430    950 ft   i've got to do the best i can
 27,430    950 ft   even 1 more !str or !dex would make throne room 
 27,430    950 ft   exponentially easier
 27,430    950 ft   a forge on this floor would be very welcome too
 27,430    950 ft   i haven't seen any in ~3k turns
 27,430    950 ft   if i don't find one, i can't complain though
 27,430    950 ft   rng has been very generous with forges this game
 27,432    950 ft   no more need for those rings of perception
 27,432    950 ft   can't get false floored here
 27,570    950 ft   Encountered Smaug the Golden
 27,570    950 ft   Smaug huh
 27,570    950 ft   better to meet him here than in the throne room
 27,570    950 ft   i'm not a fan of quick dragons
 27,570    950 ft   actually, that's not true
 27,570    950 ft   he'd be no threat to me in the throne room
 27,570    950 ft   seeing as dragons never pursue you
 27,579    950 ft   oof, just got pincered in by a gwathrauko and didn't 
 27,579    950 ft   notice him until he got in a free swing
 27,662    950 ft   Slew Smaug the Golden
 27,663    950 ft   ha, i slew Smaug while confused
 27,663    950 ft   that's what he gets for confusing me through my resist
 27,677    950 ft   Great Spear of Melkor?
 27,683    950 ft   Found The Great Spear of Melkor
 27,807    950 ft   time to take on this nameless thing
 27,807    950 ft   maybe it'll bless me with good luck?
 27,825    950 ft   not bad
 27,825    950 ft   maybe Saithnar would have done better than Ruin though
 27,825    950 ft   did not realize it had such a high protection
 28,034    950 ft   'You have a Mottled Herb of Restoration (c).'
 28,034    950 ft   oh how long has it been since i've read those words
 28,089    950 ft   a faenorian lamp of brightness
 28,089    950 ft   think i'll hold on to that
 28,145    950 ft   ancient sapphire serpent blew up one of my !grace
 28,145    950 ft   i would have been fuming if it was my !str or !dex
 28,178    950 ft   wow, troll guard got a hit on me
 28,178    950 ft   +15 to-hit against my +31 evasion
 28,178    950 ft   impressive...
 28,178    950 ft   perfect d20 roll
 28,178    950 ft   and i rolled a 2, haha
 28,178    950 ft   he also rolled 26 on the 4d8 damage roll
 28,178    950 ft   scary stuff
 28,278    950 ft   5d16 for 58 on nameless thing :)
 28,404    950 ft   Encountered Lungorthin, Lord of Balrogs
 28,404    950 ft   Lungorthin? interesting...
 28,446    950 ft   Destroyed Lungorthin, Lord of Balrogs
 28,465    950 ft   used up 2 herbs of healing and 1 _earthquake charge
 28,465    950 ft   against Lungorthin
 28,465    950 ft   oh and 2 !quickness
 28,465    950 ft   honestly more resources than i expected
 28,465    950 ft   but he's out of the picture now, and i'm still in
 28,465    950 ft   and he was guarding a 3 use forge
 28,465    950 ft   which could be huge for us 
 28,465    950 ft   for instance, with the 2 herbs of restoration i have
 28,465    950 ft   from this floor, i could actually make a ring of great
 28,465    950 ft   speed, a ring of evasion <+4>, a ring of accuracy <+4>,
 28,465    950 ft   an amulet of constitution <+2>, a helm artefact that
 28,465    950 ft   gives me con <+2> or str <+2>
 28,465    950 ft   there must be something i can make that can turn the 
 28,465    950 ft   tides to our favor
 28,465    950 ft   up to 37 smithing
 28,465    950 ft   i think i'll wait on using this forge until i run out of 
 28,465    950 ft   food
 28,465    950 ft   that way, i know exactly what my consumables situation 
 28,465    950 ft   is and what stats i need the most
 28,499    950 ft   and we are on the cusp of the turn limit
 28,500    950 ft   (Flanking)
 28,501    950 ft   Min Depth 1000'
 29,160    950 ft   well, we've explored the entirety of this floor
 29,160    950 ft   consumables tally: 14 herbs of rage (basically food at 
 29,160    950 ft   this point), 1 herb of healing, 2 herbs of restoration,
 29,160    950 ft   6 !miruvor, 6 !healing, 4 !voice, 11 !quickness, 1 !str, 
 29,160    950 ft   1 !dex, 6 !grace, _understanding, 
 29,160    950 ft   _treasures (2 charges), _earthquakes (6 charges), 
 29,160    950 ft   _earthquakes (used 1 time)
 29,160    950 ft   and a 3 use forge yet to be used
 29,160    950 ft   considering making 2 +4 rings of accuracy and just 
 29,160    950 ft   bursting Morgoth down...
 29,160    950 ft   i don't even know if that's possible
 29,160    950 ft   i think in a vacuum, i win against Morgoth, hands down
 29,160    950 ft   even with this pitiful supply of consumables
 29,160    950 ft   but if Gothmog or another nasty unique spawns with him,
 29,160    950 ft   that could easily spell doom for me
 29,992    950 ft   finally a troll guard
 29,992    950 ft   800 turns for a single troll guard oof...
 30,000    950 ft   and of course, he doesn't even drop anything
 30,021    950 ft   oh oh!
 30,021    950 ft   a second troll guard
 30,025    950 ft   a !voice!
 30,025    950 ft   that's something!
 30,025    950 ft   i feel like i'm in a desert here looking for water
 30,025    950 ft   a third troll guard
 30,025    950 ft   it's like a mirage on the horizon of an oasis
 30,025    950 ft   could this one be real though?
 30,027    950 ft   nope, but that !voice was a start
 30,027    950 ft   The Crimson Potion of Voice fills you with determination 
 30,094    950 ft   'You are no longer full.'
 30,094    950 ft   :(
 30,102    950 ft   maybe one of these mirages could drop me a sandwich
 30,237    950 ft   ooo another troll! in record time!
 30,241    950 ft   he dropped me a great spear
 30,338    950 ft   my Orcrist isn't picking up any signals!
 30,353    950 ft   we need a _summoning...
 30,513    950 ft   wish the floor was smaller
 30,677    950 ft   yay another troll
 30,679    950 ft   our 98th one
 30,681    950 ft   ...!awkwardness
 30,933    950 ft   closing all the doors on the floor
 30,933    950 ft   hopefully, this makes it quicker for me to find where 
 30,933    950 ft   monsters are spawning
 31,240    950 ft   'You have found a secret door.'
 31,240    950 ft   this late?
 31,504    950 ft   yea this...door-closing strategy isn't working out
 31,504    950 ft   aren't we due for a troll by now?
 31,549    950 ft   oh shit
 31,549    950 ft   cat assassin?
 31,549    950 ft   where is it firing at me from?
 31,563    950 ft   !elemental resistance
 31,563    950 ft   they took out 21 hp from me
 31,563    950 ft   but at least they drop items
 31,750    950 ft   my door traps only catching gwathraukos ugh
 32,469    950 ft   hm
 32,469    950 ft   opening all doors
 32,469    950 ft   i think just walking circuits around the floor gets
 32,469    950 ft   better results
 33,076    950 ft   so many raukos...
 33,094    950 ft   'You are getting hungry.'
 33,094    950 ft   noooooooooo
 33,094    950 ft   maybe i should have used a charge of that forge to make
 33,094    950 ft   a ring of sustenance first...
 33,150    950 ft   3 use forge
 33,150    950 ft   let's make use of it before we accidentally use up all 
 33,150    950 ft   our food waiting for that troll guard who will drop us
 33,150    950 ft   a !str, !dex, or !con who will never come
 33,469    950 ft   Made an Emerald Ring of Accuracy (+4)  0.1 lb
 33,782    950 ft   Made an Emerald Ring of Accuracy (+4)  0.1 lb
 34,082    950 ft   Made a Dragon Tooth Amulet of Constitution <+2>  0.1 lb
 34,207    950 ft   lot of greater werewolves spawn lately
 34,207    950 ft   i used my _understanding on my spare _earthquakes
 34,207    950 ft   and found it has 3 charges even after i used 1 earlier
 34,207    950 ft   on Lungorthin
 34,207    950 ft   so i have 9 charges of _earthquakes total
 34,225    950 ft   Orcrist is lit up!
 34,225    950 ft   it's been a while
 34,234    950 ft   2 troll guards :o
 34,234    950 ft   our 99th and 100th
 34,236    950 ft   our 99th troll guard unfortunately dropped nothing
 34,238    950 ft   oo, there's another troll guard behind him
 34,240    950 ft   a Gwathrauko has joined the fray
 34,241    950 ft   huh, a fourth troll guard?
 34,258    950 ft   all told, only a !slow poison to show for the encounter
 34,258    950 ft   not that i expected much at this point
 34,536    950 ft   i have never tried farming 950 feet before throne room 
 34,536    950 ft   before, i think
 34,536    950 ft   but it seems i didn't miss out on much
 35,344    950 ft   'You are getting hungry.'
 35,344    950 ft   with nothing to show for it
 35,344    950 ft   well, time to consume our last bit of spare food
 35,344    950 ft   when we get hungry again, it's time to face our destiny
 35,505    950 ft   more cat assassins...
 35,578    950 ft   too bad they drop arrows most of the time
 36,592    950 ft   this is probably one of the strongest characters i've 
 36,592    950 ft   ever made...
 36,592    950 ft   (35,2d8)(30,1d8)[29,4-9] with no buffs right now
 36,593    950 ft   and if i equip Ruin, i have (32,1d16)[26,4-9]
 36,593    950 ft   this weapon was designed for Morgoth-slaying
 36,593    950 ft   guaranteed 2d16x2 with !str and rapid attack
 36,593    950 ft   and 32 to-hit against 18 evasion of a stunned Morgoth
 36,593    950 ft   but i don't think i've ever slain Morgoth without going  
 36,593    950 ft   through at least 2 rounds of buffs
 36,593    950 ft   either rngesus knows that i'm way too strong for the 
 36,593    950 ft   throne room and want to spice up the story
 36,593    950 ft   or it just hates my guts and i'll get stat-checked when
 36,593    950 ft   i actually face Morgoth
 36,593    950 ft   on average, i'll get +5 slaying bonus and i'll have 3 
 36,593    950 ft   more dexterity from my one !dex
 36,593    950 ft   but rapid attack will tank to-hit 3 points 
 36,593    950 ft   so it looks like i'll be sitting around +37 to-hit 
 36,593    950 ft   Ruin and finesse give me 10 threshold for crits
 36,593    950 ft   +37 to-hit versus +18 evasion is ~2 crits on average
 36,593    950 ft   so i'll be landing 4d16x2s
 36,593    950 ft   Morgoth also has 6d4 protection, so 12 on average
 36,593    950 ft   and he has ~600 hp and rapid regeneration
 36,593    950 ft   d16s are so reliant on rng honestly
 36,593    950 ft   let's say i roll 8s on average...that's (32-12)x2=40 
 36,593    950 ft   40 damage per turn, and i can kill Morgoth in 15 turns
 36,593    950 ft   assuming he doesn't regenerate and i don't waste turns 
 36,593    950 ft   healing his damage
 36,593    950 ft   i hate to say this, but i think this run's success will
 36,593    950 ft   depend a fair bit on luck
 36,593    950 ft   i've done as much as i can to prepare my elf for 
 36,593    950 ft   the dangers that await him
 36,650    950 ft   oh, i neglected to mention i have 71 health without 
 36,650    950 ft   buffs as well
 36,650    950 ft   so it almost feels like i have !con...
 36,650    950 ft   but Morgoth can do 6d10, and there's no guarantee he 
 36,650    950 ft   won't crit me since i don't have 38 evasion
 36,650    950 ft   with only 4-9 protection, he could actually almost 
 36,650    950 ft   kill me from full health
 36,650    950 ft   he can do 7d10 = 70, 70 - 4 protection = 66 damage
 36,650    950 ft   so as long as i'm below 66 health, i can die
 36,650    950 ft   fun facts!
 36,700    950 ft   and we have only a few hundred turns left
 37,344    950 ft   'You are getting hungry.'
 37,344    950 ft   well, we used up almost 1000 turns and only have a 
 37,344    950 ft   !voice to show for it
 37,344    950 ft   such a shame
 37,344    950 ft   but at least i can say i tried my best
 37,395    950 ft   Encountered Vallach, Balrog of Sudden Flame
 37,395    950 ft   WAT
 37,395    950 ft   10000 turns and no uniques show up
 37,395    950 ft   then as soon as i decide to leave, Vallach pays me a 
 37,395    950 ft   visit?
 37,395    950 ft   oh, i just noticed i have (19,2d10) on Belthronding...
 37,395    950 ft   6 dexterity, 1 archery affinity, and +8 bonus from rings 
 37,395    950 ft   of accuracy
 37,395    950 ft   the rest of the bonus is from to-hit bonuses on my 
 37,395    950 ft   various artefacts
 37,395    950 ft   even though i now know where the 19 comes from, it still 
 37,395    950 ft   boggles my mind
 37,419    950 ft   Destroyed Vallach, Balrog of Sudden Flame
 37,422    950 ft   Found The Pair of Greaves of Orodreth
 37,423    950 ft   keeping taur-nu-fuin over orodreth
 37,423    950 ft   i took 42 damage from Vallach, ouch
 37,423    950 ft   but it's rare that i can kill him without buffs besides
 37,423    950 ft   !quickness

This win...felt good. As you can tell by the turn count, this was a bit of an unconventional one. It seemed that RNG was determined to sabotage me, as I did not see a single restoration herb between 650 feet until the last floor before forced descent. Not only that, but it was very sparse on !str, !dex, and !con, to the point where even with pretty close to optimal usage of those consumables (only used in fights that would have been lost without them or to recover stat loss from smithing), I still only had a single !str, a single !dex, and 0 !con for the throne room. I spent almost 10000 turns hoping to find a single !str, !dex, or !con to boost my odds of success in the throne room, but it was in vain. All I had to show for the time was a single !voice.

I did have above average luck on forges, but the lack of gauntlets of forging until very late and lack of ways to restore stats meant I couldn't make a great speed artefact. This run had a self-imposed limit on stats to 15-0-15-6-6-6-?-6 and skills to only those that had minimal prerequisites and gave unique bonuses to combat (so not pure stats bonuses like parry or concentration, but skills like opportunist, rapid attack, flanking, etc.). The purpose of the limit was to maximize experience for smithing, but it also kept things interesting the entire way. For instance, at the 15 melee/evasion cap, you often find yourself underpowered from 750-950 ft if you can't find artefacts or forges to make up the difference. Plus, you can count on vampires being complete nuisances, consistently draining your stats. Another rule for this run was that I would restart if I missed a single artefact, which I did not.

In many ways, Elfin was a more polished version of Ekkair. I took what I learned from that run and built upon it. Ruin was specially designed for Morgoth-killing. Due to the unfortunate consumables situation, I decided to shift my build to something I haven't done before, a pure offensive build with 2 +4 rings of accuracy to try to burst Morgoth down. Thuringwethil literally fell in 2 turns, one of which was her flittering about randomly and letting me get an opportunist hit in.

Gotta catch a train now so I'll have to fill in the rest of my thoughts later if I have any more.

Compared with my other winners, at 69 turns between encountering Morgoth and slaying him, Elfin is only slower than Echor, who was an archer. This places Elfin at almost exactly 1 standard deviation below the mean turn, excluding Sereneith who was a clear outlier. At 42 turns between finding the crown of Morgoth and slaying him, Elfin is placed 6th, surprisingly (~0.23 standard deviation below the mean turn). He is behind Ivrath (Belegost), Echor (Fala), Mirim (Finarfin), Tauros (Hador), and Perch (Fingolfin). My guess is that's largely due to the awkward timing with which Morgoth showed up this game, because on paper, this character should be stronger than most of those characters. In this run, I was swamped by trolls, orcs, and serpents, and needed to kite Morgoth around so I could both rack up my slaying bonus and avoid giving him flanking bonuses.

Other random thoughts:
1) This run is I believe the first time I defeated Morgoth in a single round of buffs (str/dex/con/gra). Turns out you don't need any more than that, and I think it's even possible to defeat him without any buffs. I was doing 2d13sx2 without crits and without !str. If I took concentration, I could easily replace !dex. Forged artefacts can boost constitution and maintain great speed without reliance on !quickness.
2) I had very good luck with finding !quickness this game.
3) Encountering Delthaur on 550 ft nearly ended this run and forced me to consume 2 !quickness, 2 herbs of healing, 3 !orcish liquors, 1 !healing, 2 !dex, and 1 !con. I underestimated him at first and paid the price, but careful play afterwards let me make a steady recovery.
4) Orcrist was a lucky find. It let me more easily deal with massive amounts of troll guards, avoid false floors, and boost my melee/evasion (much needed since I capped investment to 15 on both).
5) Without Raukobane and concentration, every Rauko unique gave me varying amounts of trouble other than Duruin.
6) I unintentionally identified the Amulet of Tinfang Gelion by inscribing it. Since it didn't ask me if I wanted to inscribe all similar amulets this way, I learned it was an artefact without having to wear it or activate a staff on it.
7) I left behind my only source of rPois to make space for a horn I wanted the ID experience for, but it cost me dearly in consumables as I soon got ambushed by adamant serpents and greater werewolves. That 100 experience was neither worth losing those consumables nor losing the turns spent juggling inventory and backtracking.
8) I didn't find a single unique vault this game, or Orodruth, for which I'm happy about since my smithing is not at a point where I can make the most use out of it yet.
9) Without slaying bonus, I can get up to (19,2d10) with Belthronding with 0 archery investment. With slaying bonus, I have (26,2d10) right now...
