Bwahaha, victory at last!  I had to settle for a normal Chaos God ending instead
of an ultra because of a little accident when I was around level 28.  I was in a
tight spot and prayed for healing, but was instead crowned chaotic!  Was silly
really, there were other ways out of the situation, and I should have been more
careful about being C- and having too high a piety.  Ah well, I'm pleased with
this victory anyway, since it is my first.


I started off going to DD and found an altar on the second floor.  Killed weak
monsters till I was level 8 and sacced till I got a pre-crowning - was very very
pleased to get Preserver.  Cleared the dungeon, the puppy cave and UD without
much bother, but I was always careful to not go out of my depth and level up as
much as possible.  Found a RoDS in UD so I used it for eternium spears.

Did pyramid next and then some dwarven quests, and built some stats up with
herbs.  Did some digging in the dwarven graveyard, but without finding anything
too exciting.  Fed the ratling and did Gaab'Baay's quests.  Also did the High
Kings dungeon and the Rift without any great bother.  After getting a ring of
ice and construct-slaying ammo I went and cleared DarkForge.  Found a very nice
suit of eternium plate mail of resilience which I used to the end of the game.
Another item I found here and ended up using for the rest of the game was
Purifier.  I was lucky to pick it up actually - it was an unidentified "heavy
mace", and it's only because I happened to pick up every weapon in DarkForge and
id them all that I realised I had it.  I continuied to use it with great glee
for a long time.

Scummed the pools to get a wish for an amulet of life saving.  Saved Khelly and
made good use of the Teleportation spellbook for the rest of the game - meant my
Mana got trained a *lot*.  Reason it never got to 99 was that I ended up using
writing sets a lot, mostly on scrolls of education (wrote about 10 I think).
Cleared the fire and water temples with great ease, and gained a fair number of
levels in the process.

Dove down through the CoC, picking up the kitty ring and a few trinkets from the
casino shop (no artifacts unfortunately).  On a cavernous level I encountered a
threat room of very experienced minotaur mazelords.  I rashly tried meleeing
them, but got pummelled badly, and that's when I made the mistake of praying.
Alas I was crowned chaotic with Cat's Claw (never bothered using that).  I
nearly quit the game right then in digust, but then I remembered that I could
still go for a regular Chaos God ending...

I continued diving, and passed by a greater vault - something I had never
encountered before.  It was practically filled with master liches and lich
kings, but a wand of item detection also told me it contained a book and bracers
- I knew which artifacts those must be.  But right then even the lure of the
mighty bracers of war was not enough to tempt me to take on the vault.  I dived
further.  I cleared the earth and air temples, and killed the grues on D48 for
the xp.  By this stage my stats were starting to go through the roof.  I was
finding loads of PoGA and stat-potions, and making more whenever I found the
right ingredients (PoCC + PoUH = PoGA - an expensive recipe, but worth it).

Eventually I came back to the vault, and after a lot of effort I cleared it.  I
was kinda low on undead slaying ammo, so had to make hefty use of Purifier,
which meant getting a lot of stats drained.  Emperor lich went down easily
enough, but the fifty or so master liches took some getting through.  By the
end my To was somewhat ruined, but a lot of undead corpses mixed with sickness
and toughness-reducing corruptions meant I was able to bring it back to great
heights again quickly enough.

Unfortunately during all the vault-clearing I accidentally killed a kitty, and
so lost my precious ring  :(  But still, I now had the bracers of war, which
coupled with preserver, my bard's naturally high regen, and the fast-healing
corruption meant I was never ever short on HP.  I went on to clear the Mana
temple.  Found Wyrmlance at some point and put it to very good use in the blue
dragon caves (where I found a wand of wishing and two RoDSes - were used on PoGA
recipes and SoCR).  Got a lot of experience and treasures from there - came out
level 46.

Then I did the Filk quest whilst diving for the Sceptre.  Went and killed the
emperor moloch for the hell of it - he brought me to level 50.  Brought the
crumpled scroll to Khelevaster, but when I tried to give it to him he just
looked at me with sadness.  So I burned him.  And the town.  Slew everyone
there, then everyone in the bandit town, murdered the water dragon, then razed
HMV and dwarftown.  Slaughtered a shopkeeper in UD that was holding back a RoDS
from me.  Killed the white unicorn (she was hostile anyway - couldn't get either
of the damned unicorn quests).  Went homicidal on Kherab after he gave me the
shield and amulet of raw steel (which I only realised I could get after I talked
to him and he instantly gave them to me).  Cleared the casino of its denizens,
and dove down to kill the AKW.

With no one left alive I was feeling a bit better about life in general, and
went off to do some smithing (which is something I've never done before in ADOM
- was amazed at the results I got) and wrote some more scrolls of education.
Once it got to the next Dark Night I killed Keriax and got the final part of the
trinity.  Ate his corpse (I ate a few of the chaos corpses actually - they were
no good to me once I was crowned chaotic, since the druid wouldn't give me any
PoCC).  I now readied myself for the final assault.

I dove down with the trinity (teleporting practically all the way).  Uselessness
gift was Far Slayer - would have been nicer if I'd brought more quarrels with
me, but unfortunately I specialised in bows.  Cleared D50 with great ease - ice
ball and magic missile helped a lot, as did Purifier for the balors.  Fisty fell
quickly to the heavy mace.  After that I hung around a bit on D50 till I had the
necessary corruptions.  Had found another RoDS, so used it for more PoCC to mix
me up some PoGA.  After I got to the extremely corrupted stage I downed all my
boosting potions, used my last two RoDSes on wishes for speed, put on the
trinity and stepped through the gate...


"OnE oF Us, oNe Of Us!" the minions chanted as his body slipped through the
warped plane.  He could feel the chaotic powers roaring around him, wild swirls
of energy meshing around his body.  Yes, this was where he belonged, and he
could see the creatures here were ready for change.  They accepted him, and he
would be their master.  But then everything went black, and he felt a new power
approach, one that rejected him even in his might.

A voice redolent in powerful terror spoke out of the blackness.  "I am the Elder
Chaos God, Andor Drakon.  Who art thee mortal, who doth dare invade my realm?!"

But Tarindil laughed in scorn.  "Look carefully, worm, for I bear the correct
insignia!  The trinity has been reformed, and I am here to lay you to waste!  I
bring forth a new dischord, a new tune in the theme of the world.  And I weave
in this music the chords of the true light and the true darkness, and against
its mighty destiny not even you can stand.  The power of chaos shall be mine!"

And at that the Elder Chaos God did chuckle, seeing here a challenge he had not
had the chance to face in many millenia since first he had split the trinity.
But there was a disquiet in him, and the outcome of the battle was hidden from
his eyes.  "Very well.  It sHaLl bE A pLeAsUrE To sHrEd YoU iN mElEe!"

Tarindil felt the ground harden beneath his feet, and lighting a torch he found
himself in an ever-changing cavern.  A balor approached, it's skin warping like
outside of an ant-hive, reflecting the vile hues of the corrupted stone around
then.  The bard brought his heavy mace down upon the demon, smashing through the
creature's chest.  Twice more he smote the balor in quick succession, before the
demon even had a chance to lash its scourge, and the monster crumpled to the
ground in a disintegrating heap of dirt.

He felt then the power of his true rival, and marching forth in proud strenght
he came to face the Elder Chaos God.  He looked now at the abominable creature,
but in envy rather than hatred.  No mortal words were enough to describe this
terrible force of evil, this unequalled concentration of chaotic energy.  Here
was a power Tarindil desired above all else.  The Chaos God's thoughts turned
upon him, and all about him malign and deformed creatures writhed up from the
floor, masses of limbs and teeth flailing desperatly at the grey elf.  Tarindil
took out a crystal of fire, and holding it up he crushed it in his hand and
forced out the flame with his will.  A towering column of fire flew out a
hundred feet, and the pathetic creatures were instantly scorched into the dust.

Magical forces flew out from Andor Drakon - waves of ice and fire, and intense
mental forces looking to destroy the mortal's mind and body.  But they flew off
Tarindil like a light breeze, unfazing him in the fullness of his wrath and
power.  He took out his great crossbow and cocked it with his most powerful
quarrels.  With great force and speed he shot the slaying bolts, and they
seared brightly through the air like a shower of meteors.  The Chaos God tried
with magicks to hold back the deadly force of the quarrels, but a score and
more of them pierced through his defences, sending shockwaves out as they
ripped through his dark form.  A scream of anger and defiance shot up from the
Elder Chaos God, but it was in vain.  Running out of quarrels Tarindil now
switched to his bow, and with great strength he shot a mighty arrow that tore
through the dark god's being, unstringing the forces that held him together.
The chaotic energies were unleashed, and Tarindil raised out his arms in
expectation.  This was the power he had strived for, this was the power he was
fated to achieve.  A new God was born.

*** Gwah, loads of skills...  Most of them were from Scrolls of Educations, and
 a few from the bard level power.  With high Le even the ones I got late in the
 gate got to 100 pretty fast.  Pity I couldn't get Athletics to max though...

                            Effects of Corruption
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your corrupted tissue seems to heal much faster.
You have grown horns (+3 melee damage, Ap: -4).
You have grown a bulging cranium (Le: +6, Wi: +4, Ap: -6, PV: -4, To: -3).

*** Got rid of all my corruptions when I first faced Andy, and stripped more
 off when I got him to critically injured.

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

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.

To your own surprise you have to realize that omnipotence is a stretchable
word and that you no longer are strong enough (maybe due to the heavy
fighting before) to pass the Chaos gate or even send malicious energies
through it to harass Ancardia. Thus you bide your time and enjoy yourself
sending Chaos troops to Ancardia every couple of centuries.

This continues until you are finally strong enough to create a bridge
between the planes of Chaos and Ancardia. Sadly a nasty surprise is waiting
for you: the heroic folks of Ancardia obviously did not forget the last
incursion of Chaos and this time a hero is prepared to challenge you. Bathed
in the radiance of Law and Goodness He enters your home plane and challenges
you to a battle.

To your very surprise your dark magics don't effect him and you are killed
in a long battle. In the last seconds of your life, facing the might of the
hero of light, you wonder if everything could have been different, had you
made some other decisions in your mortal life...
