Yay, I finally did it! Take that Xom! I chose to go with a Kobold for my chaos knight since I noticed getting quite a few rods gifted ... Only to not really get any for mid-game. Still decent Evocations certainly didn't hurt!

What really hurt was not getting any Regen items or spells, no clarity and no MR items until I decided to skin a quicksilver dragon in the depths. With that I was constantly low on !curing, frequently in danger of paralyze and company - but I made it, partly luck, partly by playing unusually careful.

Scariest moment was when teleportitis kicked in for a first, unneeded dip into the Elven Halls - and sent me to the Hall of Blades. With Roka and Aizul for company. I really didn't deserve to survive that blunder - I had enough !cure mutation to clear that mutation.

Speaking of teleportation - the random teleport journeys weren't so bad - or I got lucky. Tabbing and finding yourself in a cloud of chaos however ... Or getting berserked with a blowgun equipped. Yeah, funny.

In any case things looked up once I got Hexes (Tukima's Dance is just great!) and later had cBlink working. That cost a huge amount of XP - but I think it was worth it. And of course that sweet, sweet double sword of speed miiight have helped :lol:

Well it was a fun ride.

Re: YAVP: KoCK - Xom finally noticed me!

Thanks! And ... no. But, good to know! Though it seems fairly obvious in hindsight. Do they remove transformation as well? That could have come in handy at times.

Re: YAVP: KoCK - Xom finally noticed me!

It does not remove transformations outright but shorten its duration to 1 turn.
