// The stats are amazingly low. I didn't actually think I was going to make
it. The wish for 'speed' just before entering was vital.


Anyway, this char received Nature's Companion as a precrowning gift.
It kicked his success spree off. Uncontrolled teleportitis was a bane, but
it didn't stop him. When I noticed an AoLS in his backpack, I decided that
this is going to end in an ultra ending, but not in a UCG. The ULE seemed
harder because of the difficulty of changing alignment at high levels, so
I decided to go for one.

The major difficulties were getting teleport control from the DFG pools,
Keriax and, surprisingly, the blue dragon caves. Food was also a constant
problem. Keriax was disposed of with Wyrmlance, which the character found
from Darkforge (plus a potion of blindness). The fight wasn't really too
hard, but the adrenaline rush was massive - with a DV/PV of 9/25, Keriax
would've only needed two turns of vision to kill off the character easily.

I also tried to rock on through the blue dragon caves with Wyrmlance, but
it didn't work for whatever reason. Finally, one of the dragons dropped
a spellbook of Frost Bolt, which was immediately perused and proved to be
a real lifesaver: dualwielding shields in Coward mode and casting FB
brought dragons to their knees much more comfortably than bashing them with
Wyrmlance. Barney was slain with Wyrmlance, however, after effectively
clearing the region of other dragons.

The big fights, the EM and Andy, were a sort of an anti-climax: the EM fell
to the RCT fairly easily after receiving a potion of blindness in his face,
and even though the character's stats were only in the 40's while fighting
Andy, the wish-boosted speed made for a relatively easy fight: only a few
healing potions had to be used.

In between the two big fights, the character also retrieved the final orb.
Yes, that's right, retrieved: Nuurag-Vaarn was no threat this time. I even
made a demo out of killing him, because the TotRR made it SO EASY!

Well, I guess it's time for me to plan a major attack against MKS's
UCG record... watch out, here I come ;)

YOUR HISTORY:
        Your parents belong to the lower class. They were honest
 hard-working people, who did everything to enable you to live a
 comfortable and fine life. They were not very successful.
        During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
 about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
 the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of
 all the exciting stories you knew.
        As a kid you often watched the adult adventurers preparing for new
 exciting journeys. They sparked your imagination.
        Your young adulthood was characterized by hard and long work. You
 had decided to study under a renowned master. To your great disappointment
 you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
 embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
        You decided to become a Healer.

                              His further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
pillars of Order appear before you. All the forces of Order seem to be
united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order and
the tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia.

Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers and
priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to be
revered as a minor power of Order. After a few millennia have passed you are
raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia from the
forces of Chaos and Balance forever.


Under your guidance Ancardia becomes an orderly and organized world without
striking changes. Peaceful order (and boredom?) spreads and the world enters
an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it.

// MINOR power? DEMI-god? Gimme a break! ;P
