YAAP: javelin Mon-Hum-Mal-Cha lvl 15, foodless, weaponless
Alan Schwartz
Used a monk, to make intrinsics easier, and to go for weaponless at
the same time. The RNG was friendly and a found a /oW around dungeon
level 5, which went for a ring of slow digestion, speed boots, the Eye
of the Aethiopica, and GoP. A polymorph trap in the mines turned my pet
into a troll, which worked out very well through the early-middle game.
Lost the troll before Medusa, but the Castle /oW went toward a pet Archon,
who stayed with me until the astral plane (where he nobly sacrificed
himself guarding my rear flank from Death), and, at the very end, a helm
of opposite alignment. I had never had a pet Archon in any of
my past ascensions, and it's quite different playing with one
(maybe I should try a pacifist next?)
Had a few touch and go moments in the Plane of Air (went through
4 !oFH and 1 "oLS, thanks to those elementals) and on the
Astral when Death cut my max hp from 185 to 95.
