A collector's item:


The invisible Schroedinger's Cat explodes!
The white unicorn looks confused.
You have a melancholy feeling for a moment, then it passes.
The tip of the white unicorn's horn glows!
The white unicorn seems steadier now.

I f***** up.
I ate a doppelganger corpse. . . .
Aggravate monster—permanent.
Goodbye Cloak.
Goodbye Hawaiian shirt.
. . . .

	Look at this, and be amazed:

(This is the first -50 armor class ever.)

A mysterious force prevents the tengu from teleporting!

	Oh. No account of this character's adventures would be complete without a mention of "Gleepie - Dude."  :) :( 
I picked up this egg.  Well, whad'da'ya' kknow—the egg done hatched.  "Gleep?" (That apparently dragon for "Mommy!")
	So, I had myself a pet baby dragon.  Now, pet baby dragons don't usually do so well—they're high enough level 
(yet low enough armor class)—that they tend to keep attacking things . . . they shouldn't.  :p :(
	Well, I was a priest(-ess).  So, I brushed up on my healing spells.  I worked 
with Gleepie - Dude, and worked with Gleepie - Dude. . . .
	Before too long, I had a SADDLED silver DRAGON—who went about kicking Angel butt (Man! –But if one gets enough 
of those beggars, are they ever ANNOYING.  (!!!!) :p :P ).  I had these visions . . . of FLYING over the elemental 
plane of fire. . . .

	Well, Gleepie - Dude ATE a doppelganger corpse.  –LIZARD. D'OH!

	Still, Gleepie - Dude WAS our pet—so, we took care of him (/her?).  Then, eventually, Gleepie - Dude was 
disintegrated.

	Thus ended Gleepie - Dude's story.

:p :P :( :(

Look on this, with AWE:

	It is the "portal level" to the Wizard's Tower (That rock on the left, covers my stash.  :) ;) ).

     The entire moat—was painstakingly filled in with boulders.  (At one point, I even 'morphed myself into a frost 
giant—to carry three boulders upstairs. . . .)

	At this point, I 'morphed myself into a rust monster—to eat ONE MORE ring of protection.	
	Well, then I figured I'd go down to the next level, with the altar, and eat all that crap, that was left 
behind by all those summoned monsters. . . .  Then, with NO WARNING (!!) I ended u choking to death on metal.  I 
HAD an amulet of life saving on . . . but this STILL SUCKED.

:p :P

	Now, when one has the amulet [of Yendor], one always wants to be sure—to speak one last time, with the 
Quest Level head–dude.  Each one (character class) gets a different message about the Endgame.

	A priest's is perhaps the most explicit of all:

"You have prevailed, ***********!  Amaterasu Omikami is surely with you.  Now,
you must take the amulet, and sacrifice it on Amaterasu Omikami's altar on
the Astral plane.  I suspect that I shall never see you again in this
life, but I hope to at Amaterasu Omikami's feet."

(peaceful Arch Priest)

	Then, I was at the bottom level of Sokoban, my polypiling station.  I was tuning my "ascension kit"—over, 
and over, and over again . . . SOO many gems, that I had trouble getting light enough, to keep going upstairs. . . .  
(It turns out—I had an unknown pick-axe, in my inventory—one has to look out for that.)

	Finally, I said, "Let's just GO."—and did.

:) ;)

	Now HERE is a collector's item: (!!)

What do you want to read? [lDJLQWY or ?*]
As you read the scroll, it disappears.
You have found a scroll of genocide!
What monster do you want to genocide? [type the name] purple worm
Nothing happens.  "Burrrrp!"

	Purple worms were "extinct!!"  –No more could be summoned!!  (The belch just provided a nice aside. . . .)

:p ;)

	I had some REALLY hairy moments with Pestilence. . . .

	I drank potions; I "applied" a unicorn horn. . . .

	Finally, out of potions, stunned (resulting in my having attacked a chaotic high priest. . . .), Pestilence 
on the ground, I just kept applying the unicorn horn.  –Always worked before. . . .

	Finally, after something like 5? 7? tries, it worked.  What a mess.

You offer the amulet to Amaterasu Omikam...--More--
An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance...--More--
The voice of Amaterasu Omikami booms out: "Congratulations, mortal!"--More--
"In return for thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!"--More--
You ascend to the status of Demigoddess...--More--
Do you want your possessions identified? [ynq] (n)
