YAFAP Trogdrix-Val-Hum-Fem-Neu
Magnus Nilsson
Thank you everyone for funny, interesting and instructive postings!
I would also like to thank my chaotic wizard Trogdor, who repeatedly
gets himself killed around Sokoban. This time, when I gave up
spellcasting and started hitting monsters over the head again for a
change, I had grown cautious enough to stop and think before rushing
into YASD.
Early game was fairly standard. Got the bag in Sokoban, then did the
mines. Killed Medusa (only the third time ever I've gotten that far),
but the statues didn't hold anything exciting.
Did the quest, and made a stash in an altar room above Medusa.
Things got exciting a few levels further down, where I got polytrapped
into a rothe. 14 lousy hp! I tried to get back to the stairs but was
quickly surrounded. Ok, stop and think. The orb from the quest should
let me level teleport - I (a)pplied it, which left me at 9 hp and
confused. Ok, what if I #invoke it...? Yes! - teleported up to to a
cleared level, where I could hide and wait for the poly to wear off.
Not long after, I found a =oPC. I never took it off.
Cannibalised on a nurse by mistake, but by now I felt I could live with
that.
The castle wand gave me good armor and magic markers. Goodbye L, ; and
h! After meeting a couple of black dragons, I decided I had seen enough
D:s too.
I moved most of my stash to the altar room in the Valley of the Dead.
Vlad and the named demons didn't give me much trouble. Then I got my
gear enchanted and blessed, dug paths down to the vibrating square on
lvl 50 and went for Rodney. I didn't like countless possible YASD:s
involving c corpses, so I wielded Frost Brand and brought holy water.
Got the book, slashed my way through Molochs Sanctum, and got the
amulet. Back to my stash in the valley. Went through it (quaffing
blessed !oFH for hp, and donating all my gold for AC) and left for the
planes.
No close calls before Astral, thanks to =oConflict (though air
elementals sure pack a punch). I had brought lots of food, so Famine was
a natural choice - he obviously thought so too, since he came out to
greet me. Wacked him, and pressed on towards the altar behind him. When
I finally arrived (get out of the doorway, stupid peaceful priestess!),
I had to go : several times before believing my luck - Odin's altar!
No special conducts or anything though, not even drinks for the bar...
Perhaps someone needs a little notepaper, though? (I went crazy with a
/oCancellation)

For future reference, if you're reduced to 0 hp when polymorphed, you
revert to normal form, as long as you're not wearing an amulet of
unchanging.
