Actually first time i even tried, so i guess i got damn lucky. I had just finished the game for the first time and decided to check what kind of skillset do dwarven rangers get. The first char i created had nice stats so i thought i'd give him a try. Someone had left a nice crystal shield into the SMC for me to find, and with that and an adamantium spear the beginning was pretty easy. Made the first kill in the outlaw village to keep the options open. Then i reached the dwarftown and fetched Rolf's Companion from the mystic. My first quest was kinda icky, a giant slug. Found one around lvl 30 a lot later. So i did the pyramid and the graveyard, then got the RotHK and visited DF and ToEF. At this point i was thinking i might just be able to shut the gate if everything went smoothly. Then i started descending in the CoC and a pool gave me a wish a little before i met Khel. With that AoLS i finally decided that this character is going for _ULE_. So i went for the Needle (or is it Sting, i dont remember which one). At D:45 there was a huge red dragon vault, where i found a RoDS and a WoWi. At D:46 a lonely ancient black dragon dropped another WoWi. So suddenly i had almost 10 wishes and things started looking really nice. I wasn't quite powerful enough for the dragon caves and had hard time there fearing for my wands and SoCRs which i accidentally had in my bag too. Luckily there was an altar on the second last level near the down staircase and i actually sacrificed some named wyrms there along the dragons. The purple one wouldn't step on the altar though, so i actually had to kill something too. Then i ran back up and paid the assassin prince a visit. Killed him for the dagger and noticed that the Sting & Needle combination really kicks ass. Then i went to ID to see Filk and of course got myself cursed and doomed before i understood i cant even hit him. Luckily i had only killed one beggar so the nearest altar wasn't too far away. So i climb out of ID and get a message saying "Filk the quickling bard wants to join your company." I was more than amazed :) Well, i left him at the minstrels hut, although i really thought i killed him. Back to ID, found the Sceptre, got lots of corruption and lost one AoLS when a GM hit me for 583 points of damage. Back up and to the EM. He was a piece of cake, but then i almost lost another AoLS to a doppleganger king on SC:5. Managed to teleport away at the last second. Having the scroll i went to see Khel in Terinyo. He summoned the TotRR before turning hostile for some reason kinda unclear to me. A cruel incident involving Unholy Aura, Munxip and angry citizens here resulted in almost empty village. None of the farmers survived. I was a little upset after this, and got even more so when i realized there was no farmers in HMV either. I was short of the other stuff needed there too, and had to spend 3 wishes to get the medal as i didn't feel like wandering around looking for scrolls and wands. Talked with the mutated one and learned the way to find the Crown too. I had some 15 days to wait for the darknight, and i spend most of it trying to figure out how to get back to N or L from the C- i had gotten for slaying a couple of white unicorns. And i couldn't. So this is when i decided to go for the UCG-ending. Entered the circle then, and learned that Keriax's breath is something to avoid and that he also drains stats quite a bit. Well, i only got 4 corruptions and having some 6 wishes and some SoCRs and PoCCs it looked good. So i dived down to CoC and got crowned chaotic around D:45... with the silvery arrow "True Aim"! At least my god was smart enough to give me a bow too, but i still never even thought about using it. At D:50 i just slayed everything, and needed only a couple of scrolls and potions to keep me alive. Then i wished for loads of SoCRs, blessed and drank all my potions of boosting and spent the last wish for "speed", giving me a speed score of over 300. This last part was partly easy because i had watched one UCG demo a few weeks ago. Through the gate, switched some gear, read the SoCRs bringing me actually down to ~20% corruption. Then i located Andy, teleported to him and started killing him. Although i lost little stats everything was looking great as i got him down to critical wounds pretty soon. And then i got paralyzed... *argh*. I already gave up all the hope and pressed the enter and teleported little here and there with my astral plane corruption. After a long time i finally died... except that i had an AoLS hanging around my neck and i woke up with full HP and the paralyzation was gone. A brief glimpse on the corruption page revealed all but one corruption. Speak about a last minute save :) Another glimpse reveals Andy standing there beside me and still critically wounded. Two or three strikes with TotRR finished him off at last making me the new Andy :) The flg with some comments follows...

YOUR HISTORY: Your parents belong to the nobility. They are rich, respected, wealthy and own more than they can count. As a young child you were often alone. You did not have any friends. You do not like to remember those times. They were very sad. In your youth you enjoyed competition against others to the fullest. You were a very active kid. 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 Ranger. * Poor childhood gives you great ambition i guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total weight: 7747 stones Carrying capacity: 5550 stones He: blessed mithril cap (+1, +1) [+0, +4] [40s] * Found this in VD and never got anything really better.

Unfortunately * Khel was shopping in Munxip's store and when i entered with my unholy * aura, Munxip started yelling at me of course and summoned the thugs. All * the citizens decided to start attacking Munxip though, and not me * ("Child attacks thug. Thug is killed" :) So i hit Munxip a couple * of times and then he surrendered. The townsfolk didn't stop attacking him * though, and before i managed to do really anything, Munxip had slain * everybody but tiny girl, village druid and Khel. Especially, all the farmers * died.

Had i been able to cast this at Darknight. Forgot to try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effects of Corruption ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your skin is covered by tough scales (PV: +8, Dx: -6, Ap: -4). You are surrounded by an unholy aura (Ch: -10, DV: +6). You have become extremely thin and nimble (1/2 weight, DV: +6). Your corrupted tissue seems to heal much faster. Poison drips from your hands. You have become very light (1/10 weight, St: -6, Dx: +4, To: -6, Ap: -6, +20 speed). Your muscles have stiffened slowing you down (base action cost: 1500 energy points; PV: +4, St: +2). You exhale sulphur (Ch: -4). You have grown thorns (3d3 melee damage, Dx: -2, Ap: -3). You look somewhat apish (St: +3, Le: -1, Wi: -1, Ch: -2, Ap: -3). You have grown a total of 12 eyes (Ap: -6, Pe: +6). You have grown horns (+3 melee damage, Ap: -4). You are a living mana battery. Your antennae explore the details of your environment (Ap: -4). You have grown a bulging cranium (Le: +6, Wi: +4, Ap: -6, PV: -4, To: -3). You rage (DV: -9, +6 melee damage)! Your feet have been transformed into hooves (+8 kicking damage, Dx: -6). Your close attunement to corrupted astral space allows teleportation. * Not even close to transforming into chaos goo ;) (For those of you who dont * like counting, one more and Glod would never had held a trident again) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- His further existence: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After slaying Andor Drakon and absorbing his powers you quickly grow accustomed to your new might. You enjoy yourself slaughtering your opposition for a couple of moments and then prepare for a greater goal... the conquest of your former home world. You collect your legions of Chaos and easily open a gate to Ancardia. The unprepared inhabitants of Ancardia are completely surprised at the force of your horrific onslaught. Your legions pour into Ancardia and your vile energies start to transform reality itself! After weeks of slaughtering and defeating some last brave and reckless stands of the forces of Balance and Order (fools!) you face total victory. Nothing remains of your former home world except an everchanging graveyard of transformed horrors! You revel in your glory and then proceed to conquer the rest of the universe wondering whether you just didn't lose something very valuable... ...home... * So this is where the hard childhood gets you. You'll do anything to * get people notice you :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- His achievements during his adventures: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glod, the dwarven ranger, managed to become the ultimate ChAoS gOd. He scored 27733511 points and advanced to level 50. He survived for 0 years, 121 days, 18 hours, 36 minutes and 16 seconds (122171 turns). Glod visited 120 places.

He made a little water dragon very happy. He defeated the arch enemy of a mighty karmic wyrm. He saved Khelavaster from certain death. He ended his adventuring life in the palace of Andor Drakon. 7212 monsters perished before him. The following 30 artifacts were generated during his adventure: the si * I actually managed to lost this somewhere pretty soon. No idea where. the dwarven rune axe "Rolf's Companion" the scythe of corruption "Moon Sickle" the golden gladius "Death's Sting" the dwarven shield "Rolf's Saviour" the Chaos Orb of Elemental Water the Chaos Orb of Elemental Air the Chaos Orb of Elemental Fire the Chaos Orb of Elemental Earth the silvery arrow "True Aim" * Crowning...

A little too late to get such a nice weapon. the robes of resistance the rune-covered heavy mace "Purifier" * This is the only one i missed. It was probably in the blue dragon caves. the emerald dagger the Trident of the Red Rooster He possessed the following intrinsics: He was fire resistant (enhanced through an item). He was cold resistant. He was acid resistant (enhanced through an item). He was lucky. Fate smiled upon him. He was able to control teleportation. He was resistant to death rays (gained through an item). He was shock resistant (enhanced through an item). He was able to see invisible things (gained through an item). He was immune to shock attacks (enhanced through an item). He was immune to fire attacks (gained through an item). He was immune to acidic attacks (enhanced through an item). He was immune to ice attacks (enhanced through an item). He was able to breathe water (gained through an item). He was able to resist confusion attacks (gained through an item). * Note that i had no paralyzation resistance at the end. He cheated Death twice. * Once in ID when i decided to give the greater moloch a little ride and * once in the end when i got paralyzed. He was a messiah of Abbad-Undar. * Before diving for the gate i was extremely close to Morodwyn, although i was * very much C-. He even removed my curse intrinsic at that point. He asked for 16 divine interventions. * At one point i accidentally got extremely close to Morodwyn when i wasnt * trying to get crowned. So i stabbed a blink dog and prayed _several_ times * to get down to very close before my alignment reaches L+ again. He was a holy champion of Chaos. He was severely tainted by Chaos. * No shit. Kinda miracle he wasnt turned into quivering blob of primal chaos :) The following monsters were vanquished: 4 ancient black dragons * One of these had WoWi 28 ancient blue dragons 1 ancient blue wyrm 1 Ancient Chaos Wyrm 25 ancient red dragons 1 Ancient Stone Beast 15 ancient white dragons 1 assassin prince 9 balors 1 banshee 19 battle bunnies * As someone said...
