I started a game again on the university server the other day and I am at the farthest I've ever been, but I can't help but feel like I'm a little screwed:


Yeah, that's two wizards and the high priest right there, duking it out thanks to my ring, but I feel pretty helpless now that the mindflayers sucked away my knowledge of recharge scrolls for my wand of death.

Since this is your first ascension, I'm assuming you're not going for genocideless conduct. Why not genocide h and L?

or rather, why didn't you?

I got L, but in retrospect, I should have taken out h as well. I'm rather casual and inexperienced (I just play a bit inbetween compiles). I think I got too cocky with the fact that I could take them at range with my bow, and next thing you know one of them is sucking on my brainjuice and my magic marker is too dry for genocide.

I probably can escape this situation fairly easily, go back up to lick my wounds and prepare better.

Well, my Ranger ended up dying promptly after the screenshot I posted but I ascended my first character tonight. Chaotic Orcish Barbarian, twoweaponing Frost Brand and a silver saber. Fairly easy run, the most tedious part was the plane of fire with my ring of conflict. I ended up taking it off because the turns were way too long.

Also, it's hard to suck cockatrice blood.

I was just gonna post that one. It's a classic vampire polymorph mistake.
