YOUR HISTORY:
Your mother is a mighty enchantress. She is unmarried. Your father
is living in the vicinity of your mother's tower. He is a humble shepherd.
As a child your parents cared a lot for you. Despite all
circumstances you enjoyed a happy and fine childhood.
In your youth you became seriously ill and suffered for many years.
When your disease finally was cured you were left weakened, both
physically and spiritually, and bereft of the joys of youth.
As a young adult you spent a lot of time searching for a deeper
meaning and purpose in your life. You pondered and pondered but nothing

You decided to become a Bard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
scales
of Balance appear before you. All the forces of Balance seem to be united
behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Balance 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 Balance. After a few millennia have passed you
are raised to the position of a demi-god to guard Ancardia from the forces
of Chaos and Order forever.

Under your guidance Ancardia becomes a balanced and happy world, enjoying
its own freedom to be never again threatened by the unbalancing powers of
the universe.

- Misused the piety bug and got pre crowned with Bracers of war, Crown of
leadership,
Ironfist and Ring of Immunity :D :D
- The hardest part was getting the Scroll of danger. Got one wish in the
entire game
(RoDS) and used it for the scroll. Unfortunately I was allready LvL50
and getting back
to neutral was Terrible. Converted 6 different neutral altars to chaotic
while trying,
including the one in dwarftown. Finally one I found on the allmost
bottom level of emperor molochs lair got me N again.
- Bugville was ridicilously easy with a high level bard with spear and
shield and musical
instuments. I just went coward and played my glockenspiel untill the
bugs killed each other
:D :D
- Greater titans cant see in the dark :D
- Tried to kill Andy with Arrows of Humanoid slaying but didn't manage to
do enough damage.
I ended blasting him to moderately injured with acid ball and Beating
him to death with
TotRR

I'm not sure if I really even want to know but what is this piety bug I keep
hearing about from time to time (and if you misused a bug, doesn't that
diminish the joy of the victory?)

Not a one bit :D It just made it easyer, But on the other hand I had
allmost full artifact gear for most of the game (+ invisibility) and didnt
get crowned untill near the end (emperor molochs lair).The food consuption
rate was insane I got from saatiated to starving ones or twice per
dungeaon level.
