Second slashem ascension, and second in a row, too. If I don't count
the two characters lost by crashing games that means 2 ascensions in 14
games.
This was Brenda, my valkyrie no. 8; the one for whom Boudewijn had
called on bets how she would die, and for whom Irina Rempt suggested
jokingly that she would die from a collapsing drawbridge, just as my
preceding valkyrie had. Essentially, this was a game with no *major*
mistakes (comparing to my ascended monk Luther who had committed three
major blunders).
Since I did not get much feedback on my last three ascension posts (one
person each time answered to two of them and nobody to the remaining
one), I will not write a long ascension story (no good ratio of effort
to results
). I'll just paste my logfile, from which you can gather
the story yourself. After that, I'll paste part of the game messages on
ascension.

frozen food store - two floating eye corpses in there!
also some nymphs and a pixie
vault on level
artifacts gained: Mjollnir, Deluder (cloak of displacement),
Vorpal Blade, Ogresmasher (in ice box)
stash: ice box near altar

Dlvl 12: downstairs to Grund
Dlvl 13: stash, money
amulet of drain resistance
portal to Ludios
Dlvl 15: magic transporter to quest
Quest home: amulet in chest of Norn is reflection!
Dlvl 16: magic portal to Vecna's level (chaotic quest)
One of the shopkeepers in the mines mall is angry with me, because I
killed a gas spore next to him! Need scroll of taming!
Was almost killed by statue of winged gargoyle, that turned alive,
on first attempt to raid Grund's stronghold -> retreated,
bought three more points of protection in mine town,
but angered shop keeper
done Grund's stronghold: reflection was essential, because two wands
of lightning were used
being a lich was useful, but not necessarily
essential - no wand of draining appeared
Dlvl 15: left a few food rations next to upstairs
Dlvl 18: magic portal to lawful quest
spellbook of cure sickness in large box
Dlvl 19: magic portal to neutral quest, done
note for future: neutral quest requires source of light!
Dlvl 20: two altars of Odin on level!
staircase to Wyrm Caves
Dlvl 21: staircase to Lost Tomb
Dlvl 22: swamps, no good means to kill sea creatures
used submachine gun later
leprechaun hall
Dlvl 23: above One-Eyed Sam
closet
Plans: use monster-free swamp on 22 to make water

single wish should go to deep dragon scale mail
a second wish might be ring of teleport control
get some rocks to kill eels in second swamp
do Wyrm Caves with care, to get blue dragon meat and
black dragon meat
Dlvl 27: closet
Dlvl 20: did Wyrm Caves, got blue dragon meat, ate it to get shock
resistance
got rocks but did not get wishes :-(
Sam's market has two magic lamps
TODO: put on ring of TC, eat leprechauns, eat tins of tengu meat
fireproof boots and cloak of magic resistance
make holy water, enchant cloak and gauntlets
bless magic lamps, try to get a wish -> deep dragon scale
mail
keep second lamp as light source, if first gives wish
genocide master lichs, demilichs and mind flayers (?)
(don't genocide L, before you are sure you'll never want to
polymorph in one, if you got deep dragon mail that may be
the case, then genocide them, but be careful)
go back to Sam, get potions, alchemize extra healing to get
more Hp
(and possibly a wish)
potions of invulnerability and of full healing?
get Nighthorn, bless and enchant it, get amulet of flying
(need light source)
do quest (need fireproof boots)

3 potions of restore ability, camera (T=50150)
main stash, with a lot of stuff, unholy water etc.
gray dragon scale mail, oil lamp (after wish for deep dragon
scale mail)
Lawful quest done! Nightmare tougher than expected - is shock resistant,
+7 Mjollnir did not do much damage, used submachine gun in the
end.
horn is not really useful as replacement for ordinary unicorn
horn, as it blasts you if you are not lawful
-> ended up enchanting ordinary unicorn horn and putting
Nighthorn in stash on Dlvl 19
genocided master mind flayers, when Mel C. came too close
and my +0 bullets missed her several times
Quest done, found wand of wishing! -> Hawaiian shirt, unfortunately
only +0, killed lord Surtur easily
Now weight management important, Orb of Fate weighs 150 units!
Wand of wishing was +3, second wish is fireproof oilskin sack
Lost tomb: contains some useful spellbooks, potions and scrolls
Genocided all L now (lichs, demilichs, master lichs)
Did chaotic quest: Note: it is no good doing this with uncursed
scroll of earth, if you have teleportitis
already
second note: always teleport to distance of
two squares of Vecna, otherwise he might
be blocked by other monsters
third note: take along more than 40 +4 bullets!
needed exactly 33 this time
he regenerates, so must be killed fast
or he will go back to his old Hp
Dlvl 28: to spider caves
Dlvl 30: to sunless sea, done, afterwards used wish of blessed
magic lamp I had already for magic candle, to reduce weight
(have now uncursed magic lamp from sea)
two closets
Dlvl 31: disgruntled adventurers, done (before sunless sea)
genocided mind flayers
Dlvl 32: two closets
to giants, done - largest giant not at home,
possibly stepped on level teleport trap
met black dragon there, made tin
got some strength from tinned giants, but still far from
18/**
Dlvl 33: to temple of Moloch (ring of conflict? yes, effective)
done
toilet on level
Dlvl 40: Medusa, island type of level, no Titan
Dlvl 39: ready for Medusa, AC is -53
combination ideal: speed boots, amulet of flying,
deep dragon scale mail, shield of reflection
cloak of magic resistance
Dlvl 41: water maze
Dlvl 42: lava maze
Dlvl 43: castle
armory contains two-handed sword named Deathsword!
plus axe named Giantkiller -> seven artifacts in game!
Dlvl 44: Valley of the Dead
Dlvl 45: not Demogorgon! a level, where teleportation is possible
a lot of water
Dlvl 44: a box contains another ring of teleport control
found uncursed scroll of genocide -> vampire mages gone
killed Juiblex in the Valley of the Dead!
he did not engulf me
Dlvl 46: Juiblex level, Juiblex not home
Dlvl 47: Orcus, deceased without teleporting to stairs
Dlvl 48: Yeenoghu, deceased, teleported to stairs once
Dlvl 49: Demogorgon, deceased, teleported away, but stairs blocked by
boulders
Dlvl 50: top Wizard
up to Vlad
Dlvl 51: up to Frankenstein
both Doctor Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster deceased
used a wish for a blessed figurine of a Solar
Dlvl 53: Dispater (peaceful), deceased by help from Solar
Dlvl 54: fake wizard with portal
Dlvl 55: Asmodeus (invisible peaceful), deceased
Dlvl 56: Geryon (peaceful), deceased, just hit him with Mjollnir,
he never teleported away
horned devil yanks Mjollnir from my hand with bullwhip
retreated, let Sunny deal with him, who killed him without
problem
Dlvl 57: Baalzebub (invisible peaceful), deceased, could not teleport,
because he was hit by 10 bullets before
Dlvl 58: fake wizard without portal
Dlvl 59: vibrating square
back to Dlvl 20 for last preparations
genocided disenchanters
Ascended on We, 23 March 2005.
Spells were only used for self-confusion.
Note: With a Solar as a pet, it is quite unnecessary to take along 150
+6 bullets. 50 or 60 would have been sufficient.
Another game with the "never been ill" conduct.

Ascended on We, 23 March 2005.
Spells were only used for self-confusion.
Note: With a Solar as a pet, it is quite unnecessary to take along 150
+6 bullets. 50 or 60 would have been sufficient.
Another game with the "never been ill" conduct.
