YAVP : OpIE^Veh, the octopus KING

This post won't show a great win : that was a farming game and it's not particularly impressive. Its point is elsewhere !

I have been playing a lot of Octopodes, I think it's a really fun race and enjoyed most of my games. I tried to play all backgrounds with a roleplay vision, slashing my way through everything as OpBE, stabbing silently as OpEn, relying on Fire-balls/storms as OpFE... OpIE was the last combo left before :
  Code:
[08:56] <Sequell> mopl is a greatoctopode!


I feel like I couldn't be a real greatoctopode without using the Octopus king set... I knew collecting all items on the set would require a lot of farming, and the easiest way to collect (un)randart is Zig clearing. That's why I started a game in 0.15, before megazigs. Vehumet was not mandatory but helped a lot. As a tribute, I had to get its Invocations title :D I did it without god change, just quaffing XP potions in all zigs...

I really liked the final message :
  Code:
You feel like a king!

Edit : fun fact, its also my #111 win !

Here's the dump :
