YAVP: koar; 21st consecutive win
I suppose I should write a little story about this character. I was a little worried about how fragile a kobold artificer would be early on, but it was about the most decent choice I had left. I found snakebite on d:4, and shortly after I found trog, which made this character really promising. There was one risk of losing the streak when I went downstairs to d:8 and found myself facing an awake Erolcha. With my low mhp, she could have oneshot me with like any of her spellsets, so i used blinking to go around a corner and went downstairs. d:9 had a lair entry vault called 'erik lair island', which has a moat full of eels around lair with a troll or snorg nearby. Mine had snorg on d:9, which I found ridiculous, so I escaped and went to d:10. I cleared most of d:10 but had some trouble with a merfolk from a vault that had picked up a great mace. And that was pretty much the last time I was at low hp in this game.
I got around snorg into lair, where I found devastator at some point. By the time I did vaults I had 20/40/20 defenses and was just blowing everything up with devastator. Zot was a little harder than usual because I was using a quick blade with very little might available, but I pulled through by being patient. Link below:
