YAWP: V 3.0.9b Dwarf Priest
dripton
back in 2.8.x, with Globe of Invulnerability.) The notable thing
about this one is that he found speed boots at 1000' and wore them for
basically the whole game. Never found any artifact boots.
Since the last time I'd seriously played Angband, the max blows / turn
for priests seems to have decreased from 5 to 4. That made things a
bit harder but didn't really change the way I played.
I used anti-summoning corridors freely. Abused Orb of Draining splash
damage mercilessly to kill immobile stuff like drujs. Teleported away
what I had to. Killed every single unique. Took a whole lot of turns
to win. (I don't play very often so I need to be extra careful to
avoid dying.)
Ended with every resistance but Shards. Had them all for a while but
thought it was worth giving up R. Shards to get more immunities. Had
Narya, Nenya, Vilya, Taratol, and Thorin for all 4 basic immunities,
but ended up not using Taratol much (too lame a weapon other than the
immunity to lightning) and decided to wear Vilya instead of Nenya and
lose cold immunity. Which meant losing a bunch of potions, but there
are always more.
Spent a lot of time hunting for *Identify* scrolls. Wish they were
more common. When you find a GCV and find several artifacts and
possibly-good armors at once, that just means a long boring hunt for
*Identify* scrolls is coming up.
Never saw Himring before. Nice set of resistances. Wore it for a
long time.
Sauron was annoying; teleported himself away several times before I
managed to off him. Went down the stairs and headed for the outer
permanent wall so I couldn't be totally surrounded by summoned
creatures. Morgoth tunnelled after me and summoned elder vampires and
various dragons. I basically ignored the summoned creatures and just
alternated hitting Morgoth with drinking *Healing* and Life potions.
He mana stormed me down to under 200 hp a couple of times, so maybe I
was at risk of dying if the summoned beasties had hit hard at exactly
the same time, but it worked out okay.

> I think this is my second winner ever.
Congrats. Few observations:
I would have used combination of Gondor (For speed and WIS, Nenya (for
Telepathy), Celeborn (for Activation and res_disen) instead of Vilya,
Caspanion and Dor-Lomin.
That Crown of Gondor is absolutely best helmet game has for Priests, if
you can have telepathy from other sources.
I also prefer IMM_COLD over IMM_ELEC, for potion protection.
You had pretty overkill stats. Max stat effect comes at 18/220 at all
stats. You do have pretty max effect from DEX at 18/150.

There may have been another risk: a Morgoth double move between haste
wearing off and haste being re-applied. I see only +27 to speed in your
equipment.
Timo Pietilä
That's tiny chance. Energy difference between +27 and +30 is only two
points (36/38), and chance that M uses both of his turns manastorming is
about 1/30, so it would have to be extremely bad luck that he gets a
double move _and_ uses both of them manastorming.
More likely would have been double-move with M hitting and earthquake
crush both turns. And if there were any summons that could make big
damage that could have killed him.
Anyway, chance of dying for double-move for being one turn at +27 is
worth taking. I have once played priest that didn't notice haste wearing
off with only +20 permanent speed. Played like 10-15 turns without haste
before noticing (just wondered why M suddenly hits so hard). Survived.
With 4GAI that would have been suicide.

In 3.1 there are no more *Identify scrolls as regular identify does the job.

1. how many turns you had
2. how many !*heal* & !Life you had
3. why you left some healing stuff at home. I would have taken the whole
pile of !heals/*heal*/Life with me.
