Drawing the story to a close
So, long story short, turns out hanging onto all those suits of elven and resistance armor totally paid off because they sold for 20-25k each (no 30k armor shops but multiple 25k ones), including the armor he was wearing of course. Plus sold off almost all the weapons (hung onto Aglarang, the Whip of Dr Jones for the Levitate, and a poison needle). Even Sting got sold, sadly enough, along with the rings of slaying and resistance he'd accumulated (was extremely handy that resist rings sell for a bundle in this version) and even things like identify scrolls. Only things absolutely needed for Serpent were kept (healing potions, mushrooms of restoration, etc), and must haves like rods of detection. He ended up with enough to buy *both* the armor and the scroll! With ~8k left over. So naturally had to make good use of it (plus the Acquirement scroll he had just found in the Giant Hall which preparing to use it was what set this whole process in motion). Bought up some food and a couple ID scrolls and he ran to Olympus, because I figure RNG won't screw me at this point. First try down the stairs and he's got enough clearance to get everything done and skedaddle before those Hounds of Tindalos get him in LoS. Scroll of Acquision kicks out... Numenor! Nice! I know reading the scroll of artifact creation on the PDSM isn't optimal, but he's already got a great weapon and... well, the RNG is clearly demanding that I do this. Scroll read, and... Telepathy! Also +3 INT and rBlindness (which I guess PDSM doesn't normally give), but whatever. Maybe all those resists already being on the armor steered the results toward non-resists? Anyway, pretty frigging amazing.
