them for two wishes (+2 SDSM and the PYEC).
He cleared out the Big Room. He didn't do Sokoban (he already had
reflection and a BoH), but he did stop by there after ID'ing a cursed
scroll of genocide so he could summon nurses. His max HP rose to 170,
pretty good for a character at XL12. His AC was only at -7; I hadn't
bought any protection, nor could I afford any at this point. I hoped to
stumble on Fort Ludios or enchant my armor to the point that it doesn't
matter anymore.
He identified all of the really useful scrolls (enchant weapon, enchant
armor, genocide, and of course identify) and many of the more useful
potions. He had about 10 holy waters in his bag of holding to help
bless anything he needed; he also had a stash of around seven blank
scrolls, but up until now no magic marker.
That is, until he ran into a box with an un-ID'd wand on DL14. I
engrave tested it and it turned out to be a wand of wishing. Rock on!
My first wish was a magic marker. I used the marker to write a lot of
enchant armor scrolls, recharging it with the PYEC. I still had four
wishes left on this wand... plus another five or six from the wand in
the castle... I liked how this game was going.
I got Giantslayer (a longsword) from sacrificing, so my longsword skill
was unrestricted and I had a decent melee weapon at last. My dagger and
bow skills were both at Expert and the five enchant weapon scrolls in
my bag of holding would go nicely on the Longbow of Diana and whatever
longsword I chose for my primary weapon (probably Frost Brand or Fire
Brand). I had a ring of teleportation AND a ring of teleport control,
but right now I was only wearing my ring of slow digestion.
I wished up +2 fireproof boots of speed and enchanted all my armor
until I was in the mid-20's. I descended to Medusa's level (Titan) but
I had no way of crossing at this point. I played with succubi until I
got to level 14, then wiped out the quest. It was cake.
Still no way to cross, I cleared the first three Sokoban levels but got
no =oL. I went back to Minetown and uncursed some boots I left there.
Score! They were -1, but with my AC I didn't care. I descended to
Medusa, killed her before she got a chance to gaze, then cleared out
the castle.
Kletian rocked Gehennom. He learned a lot of spells (magic mapping!)
and could cast most of them at 0% failure, thanks to his +4 fireproof
robe. He was also decked out with a +5 SDSM, +4 boots of speed, and +5
helm of brilliance, for a total AC of -31 (and my HP was around 230). I
accidentally lost his leather gloves (+0, so no big deal -- but lesson
learned: make sure your old spells Confuse and not just Stun before
reading that ?oDA), so I wished up +2 fireproof gloves of dexterity. I
enchanted them and the T-shirt I found until my AC dropped to -40,
where it stayed for the rest of the game. Now I felt confident that I
could do my ascension run.
My weapons were just as good as my armor. My melee weapon was the +7
rustproof Vorpal Blade, which I got from being crowned while praying to
bless water, and I also had the +7 Longbow of Diana with a stash of 81
blessed +7 arrows (which I never ended up using). Awesome! The Vorpal
Blade dropped to +6 when I accidentally meleed a disenchanter, but I
was in the Wizard's Tower at that point and wasn't about to turn back.
I killed Rodney in honorable melee combat, then froze the water he was
standing on to recover the Book of the Dead. I read a ?oT, hoping I
could get back outside, but it was cursed and sent me to level 27!
(Yeah, I know -- the level was no-tele anyway.) I slipped on my =oTC
and read one of my stashed C?OT to send me back to the Valley of the
Dead, then another to get me near the VS level. Rodney reappeared to
challenge me in Moloch's Sanctum, but the hard part was really just
working my way there. I quaffed a cursed !oGL on accident during the
fight and had to start over.
Killed Rodney and the High Priest, then grabbed the Amulet and made a
mad dash for the surface. Rodney didn't bother showing up until the
Plane of Earth, bless him. I dispatched him with a /oD this time -- no
fooling around -- and made my way up to Astral.
Here was my next big lucky break (the other one being finding all those
wishes): I got the altar right on the first try. I Zapped detect
monsters and went in the middle with Famine. He was a pushover, but the
mobs were rough. I quaffed a !oFH when my HP got down to 85, but other
than that the only trouble was shoving my way through. I was greeted by
the High Priest of Venus. I could hardly believe it -- after more than
ten years of NetHack, I was going to ascend!

And well done, too. Looks like you played very considerately. You even
resisted the temptation of using up all your early wishes in one go.

You might find that the =oSD isn't really much help, so free action should
be your default ring. There's more than enough food available.

Seriously, congrats! One day, ascension will be mine!
Also, how do dwarves and hobbits end up getting genocided? They don't
seem like one of my problems (but I rarely get past the Oracle, so I'm
speaking from relative ignorance)

Blessed scroll to genocide all 'h', in order to get both MFs and MMFs. The
poor little buggers are collateral damage.

Ah, I geddit. Thanks.
It does seem like an interesting side-effect of the scroll, but I'm
not sure that I like it overall. That presumably means that it's
significantly easy to accidentally genocide your own race?
Hmmm. Apart from the MF / dwarf equivalence, are there any other
equivalences that I should be aware of? I guess I should go study
which character maps to which species more carefully before I ever use
a scroll of genocide.
Alright, thanks!
