I had never before been able to ascend with a knight—and it wasn't fer' lack a' tryin'. :p ;)
I don't know what it is—everything just seems to go wrong for a knight. This one was no exception.
A gelatinous cube ate a wraith corpse here—I couldn't get a tinning kit (This "guy" got to 18/** strength,
without one. (!)) (or a spellbook of identify, for that matter) there. . . . A marilith dissolved my
fireproof boots of speed; I had to wish for another.
And what is this deal with drawbridges—this was the second of three knights to be "killed" by a drawbridge.
(! (!)) The first one, a giant threw a boulder, and I was crushed by a big piece a' metal. This guy, was
blown apart by shrapnel (somebody zapped a wand of striking. . . .).
FORTUNATELY, my guy was wearing an amulet of life saving. This was SUCH a SD [silly death]—that I didn't
even think much of it, and kept going. Seriously, these drawbridges are SOO dangerous—just zap a wand of striking,
then read a scroll of earth, and push boulders into the moat. It's not worth the risk/work a' dealin' with.
(. . . .)
This one was/is new:
You are caught in the death field!
I got my tinning kit, mixed up with a wand of death. Quickly, I typed "y" (confirm) and . . . BOOM! –All hail
magic resistance, eh?
:) ;)
Questions I know the answer to I don't need to ask, right? After talking to King Arthur, he
started moving around. I sacked the chest for a potion of gain level (level 30 :) !:)! ), and then sat on
his throne. . . .
I honestly didn't know what would happen, if I did that.
:) ;)
This one was also new: On the way up, some demon summoned yeenoghu. I don't know why he's still hangin'
around—his worshiping race (gnomes) is extinct, 'n stuff. (I guess you don't have to worry about this—when you're
a god, or something. . . .)
He kept doing the "hit and move [teleport]" bit on a level where I couldn't (baalzebub's fortress).
So, I–for the very first time–dropped the Amulet of Yendor—so I could teleport up one level, then bash 'im from
the up staircase (nowhere for him to run). As I said, this was the very first time, I ever voluntarily relinquished
the amulet. ;)
This was also the first time I was ever able to walk over the elemental planes. (I first located the
[magic] portal—by reading a scroll of gold detection, whilst confused. . . .) With levitation (NOT water walking
boots (!!)), this is a piece of cake. :) :) The elemental plane of water can be (read: IS :) ;) ) very annoying
without doing this.
:) ;)
Let's see . . . what other "firsts" did I have. . . .
-First use "merger"—#adjust an item to itself, merges ALL like objects to that slot. Nifty. :) :)
-First made multiple holy waters, by dipping multiple uncursed waters into a holy water. One can make
~infinite holy waters, this way, BTW. . . .
-Took out Death in ONE SHOT—blessed +7 Frost Brand, expert long sword [ability], 18/** strength, and
a +4 ring of increase damage. Yeah! –Take that! –That's what I'm talkin' about.
:) ;)
