----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well well well.
This is not my first ultra, but the first I sent in to HOF.
My other ones are lost after I upgraded to winXP.

Early life:
I have no idea how that name came into being. Horrible.
I think I started this to prove that Dwarven mindcrafters were a good choice.
For talents, I took long stride and hardy-PV line early, foregoing treasure hunter.
Started by initializing SMC, then went to Outlaws and killed a bandit, then did
ID until level 6. Safe, very safe start.
Then I went right through the UD with this char, came out with good PV
and decent stuff, money and some herbs. Sadly I did not find harvestable bushes,
so I did not get 25 dx, wi, to there. But I did get some use from them.
Quite a few brushes with death early, but he lived on.
Luckily no rivers in UD or he would surely have drowned.
When I came out I went to CoC, down to arena for food.
Only THEN did I go back and complete village dungeon (IDIOT POINTS: 1)

I saved the puppy corpse, but laid it to rest in foodshop for now.
I also did not kill crime lord, because I thought I might need the lawful boost for later.
(I didn't)

A bit routine now, went as far as dwarftown. Had found an altar on D:8 or so, and I proceeded
to have me 2 precrownings. Skullcrusher assured me an easy game, while executor was going to be
fed to ratling. (No bad luck for me, thanks). Pacified herb room with 8 squares or so.
Cleared out graveyard easy with skullcrusher.

I decided to go for Ultra game, meaning I had to get a wish, and also meaning I could get mean.
Then I went to the dark side for the first time in this game, got pickpocketing, then did 
gremlin trick on DH:1. Found a wand of wishing with 0 charges, plus other goodies.

Saved Kelly, got water orb. Then to my surprise I noticed I had no fireproof blankets for the ToEF.
Got RoHK, pleased the ratling artificially. Completed Crone quests easy except for PoCC.
This I had to get from bringing in the water snake corpse (I went N on an altar in VD just before).
Snake corpse was cooked with fireball wand and periodically dipped in holy water,

I nearly had to end the game at this point. I had picked up teleport wand from thief cave.
I teleported into the secret room, not noticing that I used up the last charge!
So I stayed inside 10 game days, waiting for the teleportitis corruption.
THEN I realized that I could make a teleport trap, and so got out. (IDIOT PONTS: 2)

I was a bit trapped now, I knew I was so weak that I had to bring everything to the ToEF, but without
blankets I did not dare do that yet. Level was 22 or so, meaning I could not get the best powers yet.
Solution: I went and did the minotaur maze. I had precicely 1 scroll of magic mapping too :)
(Some Crystals of knowledge were also taken along).

I got 3 exp-levels, corruption was a bit worse than the PoCCs I found, but a PoStrenght was good payback.
It was also fun to do it, as I never usually do it.
Finding bottom level was a pain, but clearing it was veeeery easy. Minotaurs were confused easy, 
and died to mind waves and blasts and skullcrushin'. Carried axe around but never ever used it.

I did fire temple now, everything easy except for the Wyrm.
I had to drink 8 good healing pots after energy beam hits.
Then I decided to confuse him. That helped (IDIOT POINTS: 3)
He fell confused to dragon slaying ammo.

Rest was plank-driving (old Norwegian expression)
I got myself crowned (I turned L+ in minotaur maze)
I did the rift, but did not get weird tome (probably did not spend enough time, as I couldn't read books)
I got Iceball and Strength of atlas tomes, and later I got spell knowledge from a wand of wonder, so I
could cast them. Save me a lot of burdened bother.

Casino decided to load with Preserver and Soaker, so I had to win 1400000. Did this while having a nice snack
with something heavy on the enter key.
Did Air, Earth and Mana temple, and killed the purple W. (Found wyrmlance in some minor vault)
I was getting quite corrupted now, and I had to use up some SoCC to remove those
that hindered my progress (unholy aura before casino, then Stiffness 2 times)
I had also found 2 Scrolls of Education, got athletics and food preservation (not too bad...)
Athletics had no way of being trained higher than 46 since I was close to lvl 50, so not too useful.

By the way, stiffness should increase CHARISMA, just think how the ladies will appreciate it...

I Went up to surface, and cleared corruption after one use of mana orb.
Then talked to/killed the assassin prince and used the daggers for some time onwards.
I had to dive to ID:36 to find filk. (I had gotten courage, you see).
After he lay dead, I decided to keep in style, which was to kill all the big brutes in the world.
I had already gone out of my way to kill the Ancient minotaur, now MaLaKaI was gonna bite it.
I happily went down, finding good exp on the way (I was already 50, but score is good).
Emperor lich fell easy enough to GTB, and Greater titans were easy to confuse. One greater moloch
gave me quite some trouble but died too.
On the trip I found a SoCC, paying for my extra time, and 2 PoGA, some Stat-potions and a few good healing pots.
Malak was good and tough, I had to use some healing there.
Got the funny message when I left level, as I never even saw the sceptre.

Talked to Blup, talked to Bard, then scintillating cave.
Emperor moloch gave me a bit of trouble, I though rune-covered trident should hurt him but it didnt.
Neither my well-trained skullcrusher. I did not have enough humanoid/demon slaying ammo.
After taking some big hits, I decided to use confusion, which helped (IDIOT POINTS: 4)
But he had too much PV for my weak character to hurt.
I decided to remove some useless rings I was wearing, and wear 2 rings of slaying (IDIOT POINTS: 5)
That helped, but not enough to hurt him much. And he was still occationally landing a hit on me.
I was also using my precious good healing pots fast. I decided to pray instead (IDIOT POINTS: 6)
But how could I ever hurt him before my god ran out of patience with me?
Well, I AM a genius, so I simply (F**king finally) equipped my adamantium broadsword of penetrating.
That really helped, especially as I also put the fire orb in tool slot. (IDIOT POINTS: 7)

I resisted the urge to bring along hulking armor (would have made me burdened even with Str. of Atlas)
Back to Khelly, then get the Crown of Chaos (turned in corpse for PoCC), get medal, then dive the CoC.

Useless gift was useless - purifier.
On D:50 I picked up teleportitis again, and then teleported past the long corridor into the Ghost-Lord
and Chaos warrior room. I book-cast ice ball to kill them all (I had gone to great book caster as final
talents). Then I teleported onto the portal. Did I wish to enter...no wait I have to wear some stuff first.
Also I started drinking all my stat-bootsers.
Then I found myself unable to enter the portal again, seems like I had to enter it again. Teleport off then back -
nothing. Damn. Time for some more exp - I prayed for mana, then cast Ice ball 15 times more to kill all balors.
My precious stat-bootsing had dropped some, sadly. NOW I was able to enter chaos.

Andor teleported next to me, then next round summoned jellies.
I had one spare square to summon ONE greater earth elemental, never had room for more.
I whacked Andor with trident, and that was that. Never used a single healing potion.
Just before finishing him I cleared corruption too (Didn't realize I didn't have to).

Wham Bam thank you mam. Dwarven mindcrafters are good enough.
Gemology + mining = Unlimited CoK to bring learning up high.
Also smithed some good stuff high enough to be quite the tank-character.

Some more idiotic behaviour:
I forgot to turn in 2 greater chaos creatures to druid. (IDIOT POINTS: 8)
You will notice them in inventory, and remember that I turned in the Chaos Dragon long after these.

Talked to ghost librarian too soon (IDIOT POINTS: 9)

Never used my 4 magical writing sets. More SoE, anyone? (IDIOT POINTS: 10)

Managed to fall from cat grace, but killing a wild cat (after avoiding 50+ others) (IDIOT POINTS: 11)

Got the splendid talent "Good learner" because I though it was prereq for Book casting. (IDIOT POINTS: 12)

Spent some days pickpocketing for a wish, but never drank from a single pool (IDIOT POINTS: 13)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              His further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
pillars of Order appear before you. All the forces of Order seem to be
united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order and
the tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia.

Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers and
priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to be
revered as a minor power of Order. After a few millennia have passed you are
raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia from the

an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it.
