Post here details of your character's progress. You may wish to edit into an existing post for a continuous story, or simply post repeated updates - whichever suits you best. Simple rules:

starsign: candle
race: hurthling
class: farmer

Decided to do the carpenter quest despite starsign. Had a couple of tense moments on VD7. First a gibbering mouther caused a lot of trouble, as my dumb farmer really struggled to shake of the confusion. Then a couple of pit vipers struck with their poison. HP was down to two at it's lowest. After that it was a fairly smooth journey to dwarftown, where I sacrificed a lot of cooked corpses and was precrowned with Ironfist.

The fun didn't last much longer, as my farmer meat his demise when a dark elven priestess paralysed him in the big room.

Final score: 33847 points, experience level 15

Started on the server.

Char: DJ Petri, drakish healer. Starsign wand. Pretty decent luck I'd guess. Took the carpenter quest and talked to tiny girl also. Went to holeinthewall and killed a bandit, nothing interesting @ Barnabas's shop. Then generated smc, explored a bit. Found blanket and a Large shield (-2) [5+1].

Then went to ID and got some more levels. A ring mail and a cursed metal cap were found. Also killed a dwarf and some blinkies for alignment drop to N+ and tctrl. Ate 2 ogres for 1 str increase right away and a 2nd one after some turns. Exited id, got trained in pick pockets by Yergius, entered VD 1.

DJ PETRI St:21 Le:15 Wi:16 Dx:13 To:23 Ch:13 Ap: 8 Ma:12 Pe:11 N+
DV/PV: 23/7 H: 110(110) P: 30(30) Exp: 8/9630 VD: 1 Sp: 100


UPDATE:

Saved the carpenter, found a beautiful mithril ring mail and a medium crystal shield [+12,+4]on VD7. Surge of power on PC1, too bad it was the sling. Nothing interesting in the vault. Got trap detection from Yergius and changed back to L by killing hotz and talking to tiny girl and elder about the respective guest. Did a precrowning in VD, got the mighty quarrel. Then ventured through SMC, was easy with a blessed scroll of magic mapping. A couple of vaults in UD, but found nothing special. Char as of now, sitting at the old barbarians:

Satiated

UPDATE 2:

Found some stoma patches before the si level in CoC, so decided to to a 2nd precrown, and got protector. Also found a bookshop. Harvested some morgia and moss, and started to train stats. Thundarr wanted a goblin slavemaster dead which was found fast enough. Then did the pyramid and gy, and other thundarr's quests except the demon one, because I noobed and won the gladius before talking to thundarr, so now I have to find a ratling warlord 1st. The charecter has a ring of weakness so got 4 ST increases during the ogre cave quest. No means of saving Khelavaster yet, but hopefully ToTHK, dragon lair, graves or darkforge will help.

Satiated

UPDATE 3:
Dug all the graves,emptied pools and looted the lair without any nice rings or amulets found.. So I guess it will be gate closing or OCG. I'm a bit concerned about corruption problems though, since it's allready dat 83 or something. Have found 1 random socr, haven't visited the mystic yet.

The char needs to get stealth skill from Yergius and train climbing. Which one of the training options should I take? Haven't done that in a while.

The tower will be next, I have frost bolt, ice ball, slaying ammo and RoI + blanket so everything should go rather smooth.

DJ PETRI St:28 Le:19 Wi:26 Dx:29 To:32 Ch:19 Ap: 1 Ma:14 Pe:13 L
DV/PV: 66/24 H: 291(291) P: 95(95) Exp: 20/696628 M: 67874


UPDATE 4: Killed the wyrm and got some st increases by giants along the way. I had a hard time hitting him with my arrows so the drakeling speed bonus helped alot getting the arrows back and shooting again. No means of acquiring AoLS so the char will now go neutral, visit the mystic, acquire stealth from Yergius and get trained in climing, and then get crowned as L+.

UPDATE 5: LOL, I remembered that there was an additional pool somewhere in UD and decided to check it out before diving, it dried after only 1 sip but that gave the wish! :D So I might go for an ultra after all. Got the wand, but need the scroll..

UPDATE 6: Saved Khelly and proceeded down the CoC. Got a bit lucky as first a chaos servant dropped Far Slayer in the water temple, then pickpocketed a rods from a ghul near casino. Bought a GoGS from casino, nothing else spectacular. Generated cat lord level.. he will be tough as I've killed loads of cats but wand of para should help. Char is now hanging at the old barbarians like he has in all of my updates :)

To do list:
1. Do the demon quest for Thundarr, change alignment to N.
2. Kill dragon momma (could turn out to be my demise but..)
3. Get trained by Yergius and climb trees.
4. Feed ratling and satisfy the crone. Will use the rods for a scroll of danger.
5. Get to N and continue climbing training for a while, visit mystic.
4. Get back to L and get crowned.

DV/PV: 62/31 H: 388(388) P: 100(135) Exp: 23/1586560 CCL LE: 1000
Satiated

Final Update: Char is dead by the momma dragon. Carelessness, there was a small area (2 squares) that were not covered in darkness and I gave her chase there and got blasted for 488 damage in 1 round as you can see :P Another lesson learned..

EDIT: Already dead, died to a berserker on UD:2, didn't reach level 6, didn't do anything. I didn't even register her score out of habit, and she wasn't good enough for my high score (less then 33 000 points).

What, the dwarven wizard born in Raven.

A wizard is cool. But dwarf? Seriously?

Le at 20, Ma at 15... This actually looks promising. Which means I'll die to a trap door on VD:1 after about two and a half steps.

I have Fire Bolt and the mighty spell of Magic Lock.

EDIT: AAARGH I FORGOT I WANTED AN ULTRA AND NOW I KILLED A GIANT RAT

EDIT2: Screw this, I'm going into the UD with zero extra spells found.

EDIT3: Meh. Died because a white worm stunned me with a forceful attack while I was trying to read a spellbook of Invisibility in peace. And I already had found Fireball too. I'm not in my A game right now it seems...

I scored 4167 glorious points and advanced to level 5.

Sword born (long lost brother showed up) Dwarven Elementalist. Named him Firebug : )

Could be worse, it could have been a troll! I felt I had to
take the 'potent aura' talent to have enough PP's to do
anything with. I got a wand of stunning, a wand of acid, and
a scroll of darkness.

Le 13 Wi 11 Dx 10 To 19 Ma 14

At least he has some meat on his bones. BUGWIL, here I come!

Actually, I never made it to BUGWIL. I was trying
to play quickly because I have lots to do. I was
killed by a bandit in Lawenilothehl. I wish there
was an emoticon for embarrased : )As for points, I
have no idea.

Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong!

Time for me to roll:

Salamander-born female troll weaponsmith. Man... Named her Fiera. Initial stats aren't too bad:

St 30, Le 5, Wi 8, Dx 13, To 29, Ch 11, Ap 6, Ma 14

Never played a weaponsmith seriously, and rarely play trolls, so this should be interesting. Lack of literacy is annoying, and healing will have to obtained the chaotic way. At least herbs aren't as important, and the PV 7 is a nice start. 800 xp needed for level 2... Christ... Care to write some more of your troll guide, gut? :P

Update 1 (15/11/08 6:40am):

Level 8. Killed the Healer for healing, searched for Kranach but never found him, secured the puppy level in time but haven't rescued it yet. Explored half of UD and found an altar - converted it to chaos and got myself a tasty gift from Vagrak: Purifier. Most eq is pretty decent, though still unable to use scrolls. 20 PV and 120 HP should keep me pretty safe for a while.

Looking at the Weaponsmith's crowning gifts I'm tempted to go for an early crowning - should probably wait till I have the AMW though. Forge on UD5 should prove handy later.

Further update: Literacy achieved from dark sage in tension room (started at 35!). Also got teleport control, and found a wand shop. Got some stable herbs on UD8, but killed a kitty there too :(

And a further update: Pacified the Big Room and harvested stoma for a second precrown - got IronFist. Very nice. Ate the oracle and have been using herbs to get stats up a bit. Current status:

St 39, Le 18, Wi 24, Dx 19, To 31, Ch 13, Ap 10, Ma 17, Pe 12
DV/PV: 64/27 (on coward), HP: 173, Level 11

Found spellbooks of Cure Light Wounds and Slow Monster - with Concentration they might come in handy. Also found an amulet of life saving, which is good for not having to fiddle with pools to save Khelly. Next stop Dwarftown...

Final Update: Crashed when dropping ingots I'd just smelted. Was only doing it to train the Smithing skill a little for the long-run. First time I've had this bug happen to me... I seem to have bad luck with ADOM crashing on promising trolls! Bah... Best of luck to those still going!

A little late to the party, just randomly generated the character, which is, of course, a Troll:

Sybilla, the Trollish Bard, born 18/Cup

Starting talents: Alertness, Long Stride, Long-lived

S23, L10, W10, D12, T25, Ch12, Ma8, Pe11

Randomly-Generated Starting skills: Detect Item Status, Detect Traps, Gardening, Stealth, Swimming.

DI Status and swimming could be useful, otherwise it's a crappy skill set...

I will proceed directly to SMC, set tactics to coward and let my cave bear do the talking, and hopefully pick up blanket and shield...will report later.

Dead. Went to Pc6 but was about 12hours in game late. Lost robe to fireball trap (last point of PV), found mixed vault and got away from it.

back to herb harvesting. had endevour with some spiders survived due to thrown rocks, but were on long hit points and poisoned. Was dishing that out twith first aid and cursed pepper, than door was opened. Orc was not problem but karmic lizrd finished me.

He was killed by a karmic lizard on level four of a dangerous cave of the Drakolor Pass.

I am probably loosing my skill. Elf had greased lightning (although satiated) if i have droped to coward for energy discount i could probably drag lizard down to PC5 and circle run around leaving him.

Ironbutt, dwarven paladin (born Falcon)

Took hardy and "tough" as starting talents

(EDIT)

Starting out lawful, I lead Sheriff to bandit town, for a free amulet of order. I slay bandit for first kill.
Go to druid dungeon. No luck, a river runs through first level. Gain level 2, head towards SMC. On the way have to kill barbarians. Level 4 now,
SMC bypassed, did not collect blanket due to trap on the way.
UD:1 had herbs, no ID them yet. Found amulet of prot +2. +15PV now.
UD:2 find cloak of prot. +18PV, level 6 char. Nice. Also scroll shop, no money but I ID a lot.
Dive fast, as I'm heavy burdened and have little food. HAve to use two prayers for food.
UD:7 has another shop, but it is crazy...can't find it. Go from 15->13 toughness after meleeing a room of wights. Not one corpse dropped, but I did get mithril skin first.
HMV: HAve to run around and leave a regular stone giant NE of the village. Enter, shop food. Leave, just before a stone giant LORD catches up with me. (I have no weapon to hurt these guys now)
Weapons went from starting warhammer to a spear of thunder to my current mithril long sword (+6)
Enter CoC.
Find L altar, but not in saccable position. Go to arena. Get some food and cash. Save for tonight.
Level 9 now. Stats worse than starting. Somehow lost 1 St and 2 To. But this will work out later.

Reload a bit later.
With my food, I decide to do UD again. Go back to HMV...and forget about stone giant lord. I'm trapped. 1hp, I drink the potion I know is ultra healing. Ok, live. Zap my only wand on lord. He is not hurt, but rumbling sound. Zap it east, and make my escape. Head back into UD.
I need to get powerful before I can go back. I get precrowned by converting neutral altar and live-saccing. Long sting. Darn. Also buy fireball wand. Kill lord with that.
Do druid dungeon. Manage to bring out corpse, with no cooking, food pres. or holy water dipping. Dunno how. Get herbalism. Got to level 13 now, so...
Do pyramid, no problem. Get pickaxe, got 65 mining so it will hold a lot.
Back to CoC. Travel to dwarftown. Found herbs above big room with 2*stable stomofillia patches. In big room 2*morgia/petal. Nothing else. Get first dwarven quest, dark sage. Kill one in big room. Hang around killing while harvesting morgia. Save.
Level is 14.

*REALOAD*
Here follows some boring safety-playing. I sac some creatures for a while, chopping walls on that level. Three times I fix pickaxe. Harvest herbs, so To and Wi are through the roof. Got my St up to 22, and Le up to 18 after bribing the dwarven trainer. Also slowly gained level 17. And I found a mithril scimitar of devastation, almost end-game weapon.

Thus, I accomplished the main goal in the game "become powerful". In-game progress was limited to passing dwarven halls (teleport from berserker emperor), locating Khelevaster, clearing ogre cave and defeating arena.
On my way to Griffyard now, darkforge and TothHK should follow, and then probably water temple before trying fire tower. Those goals are well within my capabilities (except fire tower)

*EDIT*
Cleared out the Griffyard. Problem-free, except a lich king drained some stats. Nothing very good found. Cleared out puppy cave, accidently ate puppy corpse, but found an altar and got undoomed. Also hit L+, got crowned. Fire immunity and trusted one.
Went to SMC and picked up the blanket. Low-risk since I had invisibility.
Cleared out darkforge. Very disappointing, no good armors at all, and no weapons I'll use.
Went to rift, and fought my way to, and killed a skeleton king. Used cold wand on chaos fish.
Back to CoC, talked to Khelevaster and watched him die. Went all the way to the wall of flames. Back up, destroying the water temple as I went. One monster dropped an ordinary ring, which was the djinni summoning ring. Not used yet, might spend a wish on find weakness, I think, as I have no slayers yet.

*UPDATE*
Used wish for "find weakness". Entered tower of fire. Managed to level up once before reaching the ACW, putting find weakness at 45 or so. Noticed I only had dragon slaying quarrels, and crossbow skill at 1. Shot some fire mentals and demons with regular quarrels, got skill up to 6. Faced off the wyrm. Brought it to severely wounded with 8 quarrels, sustaining 3 energy rays and spending 2 extra healing potions. Closed in for the kill. Easier in melee. Went to HMV to pick up scroll I had forgotten, then back to CoC for the (final?) dive.
2 corruptions so far, astral and healing. Both very good now. Plundered the CoC graveyard on the way down. 3rd grave yielded an emperor lich, so I beat a hasty retreat. Gained nothing great.

*CONTINUE*
Pass wall of fire, move on. Eternal guardian passed peacefully. Bought some arrows, potions and scrolls at black market. Cat lord killed with mostly wand of fireballs, some missiles of humanoid slaying. Regular vault of red dragons yielded first PoGA and another RoDS. Will probably wish for stat-potion, PoGA or Toughness.

*MORE*
Ended up saving the RoDS, mabye I'll be needing it for SoCC. Did Air temple by dropping all stuff and going in with worn gear only. No problems. Earth temple very easy as well, got some exp there. Around D:44 I found a lair of greater molochs. Easy kills with my adamantium broadsword of penetration, got about 10 levels. Heading down UL now. Found a hostile greater karmic wyrm randomly, had to shoot it with dragon slayers. Broke my pickaxe on first dig. HAd mana battery, and failed to dig in with wands. Had to backtrack to collect a second pickaxe. Battle with Nuurg is not pretty. I get hit by many energy bolts, and drained quite a bit. Use water orb and potions for healing. No real worry, though. Explore D:48, then head up to surface.

*LAST PART*
Get back to Terinyo, get quest from druid. Kill black unicorn, use mana orb till *very* corrupted, then take cleansing. Dive back to Coc. Uselessness gift is ring of immunity, normally nice but will probably stick with other rings. Enter D:50 at exp level 42. Decided to do the level without cheating, i.e. using teleport. Cleared both levers, then handled them and used wand of destruction. Slew quite a few balors on the way to other lever and the exit, but not the greater balor. Also left most of the centre room intact. Performed a fighting retreat, and got out and up to D:48. The gate is destroyed, and the evildoers demoralized and scattered. This game is won, I just need to walk home now.
I walk home. Wish for SoCR, still leave chain with 1 corruption. Poison hands. Well, not every fairytale ends well.

He saved the world with his brave efforts and became a great ruler while saving himself 40 times

(Lot of saves, played this a lot on my way to and fro work. Laptop without numpad)
New personal best for low turns on a win. Still a long way off from a quick game. Did last part fast, but prepared a lot for tower. Smithing and herbing.

So whats next?
