I screwed my second precrowning attempt and got crowned neutral instead.
So I was stuck with a boring regular ending. I decided to do some things
I hadn't done before.
The firsts:
1) Doing the minotaur maze. Boring, not worth it.
2) Achieving grand mastery in any category. I did this with the emerald
dagger, which was my precrowning gift.
3) Emptying a greater vault of undead. I acid balled all 22 emperor
liches through the walls of the central chamber in the vault.
Interesting things I didn't know before:
1) When reading a spellbook, the weight of the book is removed from the
weight of the inventory. If the book doesn't disappear, it's weight is
regained. This is easy to notice when you're just in the limit of
becoming burdened, start to read a book, become unburdened, finish
reading and become burdened again.
2) The dexterity lowering corruptions are handy in that you can train
your effective dexterity to 25 with the corruption on. This way your
base value will raise above 25.
I spent about 3 years in the wilderness gaining weapon marks and hoping
for an AoLS for Kelly. Got approximately from level 22 to level 34 in
the meantime. No AoLS though. Extremely snipped .flg follows:

Stats mostly courtesy of being a bard, eating all kinds of things
including Nuurag-Vaarn but excluding bugs (which I never eat) and
casting Strength of Atlas and Farsight from the book. No quickling tree
but a lot of wilderness encounters with quickling raiding partys.
