YAFVP Gnome Bard ULE
Batman?
spent almost a month or real life time picking pockets in the gremlin
cave trying to get the AOLS for kelly. I think that helped because I
had so many useful items at the end of it. Visited every location in
the game. First Time in the library and quickling tree (and the
scintillating cave and stone circle for that matter)
First place I went after killing a beggar was the SMC "you feel a
surge of power" ironfist guantlets. that was a nice start. Robes of
resistance as a random drop before dwarftown.
andor is Tough! I hit him with a wand of Paral and melee'd him. He
still took like 20+ hits on beserk.

His further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
pillars of Order appear before you. All the forces of Order seem to be
united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order
and
the tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia.
Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers
and
priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to
be
revered as a minor power of Order. After a few millennia have passed
you are
raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia
from the
forces of Chaos and Balance forever.
Under your guidance Ancardia becomes an orderly and organized world
without
striking changes. Peaceful order (and boredom?) spreads and the world
enters
an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it.

Nick Strnad
say congratulations on your victory. I have a UNE Gnomish
Elementalist that I've been meaning to post, but never got around to
it.
Now you know there's at least one person who checks this newsgroup.
Congrats on your win.

Impressive patience! Too much reliance on RNG for key game elements is
one thing I really can't stand in adom. Once I finished Khelavaster
myself out of frustration.
> Inventory

Really you didn't have anything better? Or at least smithed up?
> Ga: uncursed iron gauntlets "Ironfist" (-1, +0) [+1, +3] {St+7} [10s]
> Bo: blessed seven league boots [+1, +0] [30s]
Both useful throughout whole game. Nice.
> Snip. Never got a potion of uselessness :^(
RNG certainly is C- alignment.

20+ hits you say? Okay, Andor is tough indeed.
> Dodge ..................... 20 (mediocre) [+4d4]
No time to train? What a pity but probably wouldn't make difference by
the endgame.
> Summon Monsters : 579, 29pp (Effectivity: +6)
Looks like you found uses for this spell. I'd like some tips on how to
make something good from this spell.
> Scamp, the gnomish bard, transformed into an avatar of Order.
I haven't won yet. Came back to adom after like five years of pause.
Needed time to recover after save scumming ruined the game for me. Best
character to date L40 char who confused elemental anomaly with an
chaotic altar and got sacrificed.
Congratulations!

Jackals, blink dogs ... who cares. A canine is a canine. :-)
> Killed the second one in melee

Now that sounds scary. I wouldn't even dare thinking about that.

IIRC stat increases translate into points so that is certainly worth
more than unused scrolls in backpack.

Congratulations on your win. Maybe I should start playing again to get
my first win as well... So far I had two archers and a wizard dying on
the final level (because of corruption, Fisty and some uber-monster).
But...
> Snip. Never got a potion of uselessness :^(
This is really weird. Maybe it is just me, but I tend to find it in
three out of four games. And almost every time my character reaches
level 40.
> Killed the second one in melee
> 2 greater molochs
Impressive. :)
Again, congratulations!
Best,
Sorrow.

PoCC work wonders on that guy, but yeah, para is awesome.
Indeed, the only monster in the game that can paralyze at
a distance is one's self : )
It is great to see some activity here again!

Wow, I don't think I have ever killed so many quicklings!
If there is one monster in the game that one DOESN'T want
to turn uberish, it's quicklings : )

I thought they only did that in melee.
