spoiler time, close your eyes kiddies.

ok, where to start? i took a few of the lawful quests at the start, being a wizard 
i figured i'd have a tough time starting but i got a few decent spells to start so i was ok.
(as long as you don't get ambushed by friggin wolves to start with) anyway, i rolled right 
along until about level 15, nothing much of interest happened. i inadvertently made it into 
they pyramid, (i hadn't found adom's webpage and thus, the spoilers yet ;) ) anyway, i was
TOTALLY outclassed by the 20 or so monsters at the top. nothing that a spell of darkness and a
few good shots in the dark can't cure ;) btw, i scored a sword of sharpness at a wishing pool,
got doomed and invisible as well, i wouldn't really recommend it. 
i made my way west, entered the fire palace and absolutely embarrassed everything in that place 
with a good frost bolt spell ;) except, the wyrm, whoa boy.. had to revert back to the darkness
scheme and give him a good what fer :) this one tower boosted me from level 15 or so to around 
level 25! i was ready to rock so i headed for the library, baaaaaaaaaaaad idea. after i got
my ass kicked around for a little while by every manner of creature in there i got the hell out.
thank god for tactics settings.
i wandered around doing various things, not accomplishing much, dwarf quests, doing chaotic acts
such as killing shopkeepers for experience points, became the champion of my diety (all it takes
is a little cash guys ;) they love the money) and was running out of things to do. i killed
the druid in the first town for the guy at the forge place. he gave me an AWESOME shield. my 
hp matched my pp, a wizard! unfortunately, i had no idea that this corrupted me at an ungodly
rate. 
now i'm at level 35 or so and ready to hit the library again. for some *#$*&#*&#*&$ reason 
the ONLY spellbooks monsters left me were friggin darkness. that's it! so this time i cleaned house
at the ol' library. i brought the librarian 3 books and he didn't do anything for me so i 
blasted him too. (no wish book though :( )
chaos caverns! now that i've got a great boost on spells (badly needed) i make my way down.
once again, the vaults of ancient red dragons are embarrassed, i stand triumphant, no big deal.
... yet! this ONE vault took me from level 35 to level 50!  no kidding.
the casino yielded a djinni ring and a wish spellbook. i thought i was saved until i realized
i had absolutely no idea how to bless items :( and for some reason i couldn't read the wish 
spellbook (if anyone knows how please tell me. the other guy that posted did, i dunno)
now i'm rolling right along and decide to take the karmic wyrm's quest...this was almost as bad
an idea as killing the village druid. now that i'm corrupted over my ears i make my way back out
and do the unicorn quest, ahhh..refreshed. no corruption! ditched the shield too..bad shield, 
bad shield! 
mana temple!!! this place sucks, i had to pray a few times to make it out...now to the bottom.

all i have to say is, balors suck, and their big brother sucks even worse. my bread and butter
spell (acid ball) wasn't very effective to anyone on this level, much less the balors, or the 
big guy. i tossed a few quarrels of demon slaying at him. lol..no effect. TELEPORT TIME :)
persistance allowed me to drop the 2 balors gaurding the switches. i dunno how anyone kills
all of those pricks w/o being corrupted, or dead. lol thank GOD a chaos knight dropped ANOTHER ring
 of djinni summoning for me :) and it finally dawned on me how to 
bless items! (no i'm not gonna tell, you bastards do it for yourself, you probably already know
anyway, i'm the dumb one) so NOW i don't have to fight these idiots and i can just remove my
corruption past the mana absortion (which TRULY sucks) and use the wand of destruction on those
damn switches.
get this, despite all my efforts to keep corruption low, upon my return to the dwarf town after
closing the gate, that damned shopkeeper calls me a thief and sets of the alarm because of my
appearance. lol. ain't life rich, save the *#$&#($& world and that's what i get. blah blah..
game over..

                                    Stuff
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
there's no need to read my inventory. if you want to know what i had just
kill everyone at the casino and loot the place :) i didn't have a lot of great stuff
and the stuff i did have i never used. ie  herbs and crystals or whatever. didn't pay 
them much attention. us wizards just fire,frost, and acid :) although, the potions of extra
healing which i used for the first time at the chaos gate make a GREAT substitute for praying.
cause those damn healing spells don't do *#&$# unless you boost them for days, and whose 
got time for that?

leading a normal life. He always remembers the glorious deeds that took his
life away. His sacrifice is remembered in the stories of his people, but not    BOO HOO! :)

to make things short, i killed 2 balors, i don't know how people kill those bastards. tough!
