Alright, I'm ripping my hair out on this one (not literally, but...). I decided to start playing ADoM again several weeks ago and go for an ultra ending this time. Well, right now, I have a level 49 (almost 50) High Elven Archer, a Champion of Law, who is on his way to slay a certain lightning-fast foe in a very deep dungeon. However, it is past the 90-day limit, my character is currently circa level 110, and the lightning-fast foe is circa level 215. I just realized I have only 2 blessed SoCR, and about 16 corruptions. This is an awesome character (I have plenty of arrows, running out is not a problem), but I'm greatly fearing my inevitable doom of changing into a WMoPC. The rate of corruption gains have been making me more than a little nervous. My question is, should I keep going and hope I get lucky (seeing as the deeper you go the luckier you get, I think?), or turn back while I still have a shade of a chance of surviving? Survival otherwise is not a problem. Also of note, I have learned a number of spells, including Teleportation and Magic Map. However, casting Magic Map doesn't seem to reveal much, and rarely does it show me where the down staircase is. I think if I had a reliable way of finding where the down staircase is and teleporting to it each level, I might be able to make it to the lightning-fast foe and take him out, and still make it back to the surface. The foe won't be a problem, either. 56 unerring arrows have his name written all over them. So, what do you people think? (Btw, I'm being cryptic so I don't cause any spoilers. Just so you don't think I'm weird or something. Oh, wait... ha ha...) Molach: "I like to have 200+ hp and over 5 good healin potions when I do [the fire] temple.

incorrect 1st kill = no ultra ending strictly imho, u won't make it, better go out, scum for black unicorns or wishes, cure the god-damn corruption, close the gate and then venture into ID as deep as possible=) All roads lead to chaos, in the end. |

Yeah, that's probably what I'll have to end up doing. Oh well. Normal ending (if I can even make it) is better than no ending. And maybe I'll still grab the TotRR before leaving the chain... If I can make it back to the surface... Molach: "I like to have 200+ hp and over 5 good healin potions when I do [the fire] temple.

You've definitely gotten all the guaranteed SoCRs already? What about writing sets? If you have pickpocketing then you may survive the deep plunge by nabbing enough SoCRs and PoCCs, but I think you'll find that going that deep is very bad for your health in many other ways.

Let's see... I got six scrolls from saving the guy, I got five scrolls from delivering the weird tome, and three more scrolls from a wish. So now I'm down to two left. I can't enter the bug temple because I foolishly started a new character without the requisite number of deaths. Unless I find a wand of wishing with several charges, I probably wouldn't survive making it down to level 215. I also forgot to mention that I rather foolishly let Guth'Alak die... so no greater white unicorn quest. Nor PoCC for slain guardians. An Ultra Ending for this character I guess is now rather out of the question, unless I want to spend an eternity in levels 8 and 9 (staying out of background corruption's influence) until I find enough wishes to stock up on tons of SoCR to survive a trip that deep...
