: :Scrach Toril, this is now my greatest character ever. Started him out based 
off a character I made for the ADOM Role-Play thread in the Forums, a High Elven
Fighter named Duke Ravage. I half expected him to die fast like all my others.
But he lived... and lived... and kept on living for a looong time, then as I was
going down the CoC I got a surge of power; sure enough, there were the Iron Gauntlets
"Ironfist". That's probably what helped me get as far as I did; that and a wide selection
of other great equiptment, including several crystal medium shields, a crystal scale mail,
and later on Rolf's Companion. Lots of great equiptment overall. Worst (best?) part of it
was when I accidentally got Waldenbrook mad w/o effecting my alignment; free cash + stuff. *g*
: :I played him for 4 days; I had great hopes for him. I spent a lot of time trying
to find an AoLS for Khelevaster; I was thinking about trying for an ultimate ending,
but decided it'd be enough just to get a win as I've never won before. Finally I decided
to go adventuring around below Khelevastar, and so I bought ~30 cooked lizards
expecting to find lots of corpses to eat. Down I went, and when I got the drippy celing
message I thought "Hey, I can do this! Lets kill the Snake from Beyond for the first
time!" Indeed I did, but I shouldn't have. It took too long. I was having serious
food problems on the way back up and didn't think I'd make it, so I started drinking
potions to keep my satiation up. But it wasn't enough. See where I died? I was a *long*
ways from food...
