Then I made the bad desition to recover the puppy corpse before heading out in the "big" world.

He scored 17484 points and advanced to level 10. He survived for 0 years, 24 days, 5 hours, 16 minutes and 29 seconds (8570 turns). Goble visited 13 places. His strength score was modified by +6 during his career. Started out realy weak, even with a girdle of carrying I was burdened after offloading most non essential equipment in the outlaw shop. All the logging around did wonders for my strenght thoug, also got 1 pont for an ogre I ate. He ended his adventuring life on level 2 of a dangerous cave at the Drakalor Pass. 214 monsters perished before him. He possessed the following intrinsics: He was poison resistant. He was petrification resistant. He was able to control teleportation. He was stun resistant (gained through an item). He was able to see invisible things. Found a black pool next to the ant hole... He was not particularly religious. He asked for 2 divine interventions. He was neutrally aligned. The following monsters were vanquished: 9 giant ant warriors 4 giant ant workers These are pretty though early on, especialy for a whimpy mindcrafter, guess I schould have stayed far away from that cave for a while yet...
