YAVP: 10th win!
https://crawl.project357.org/morgue/MrD ... 141954.txt
This is my 10th win. I feel like that's some kind of milestone that marks my graduation from a state of noobery to just general incompetence.
Most of my wins have been melee brutes. That doesn't necessarily reflect the mix of characters I play. I just haven't managed to win with anything else very often.
There were a couple of blaster casters (GrEE and DrFE) in the mix though.
This latest game is by far the furthest I've got with a Demonspawn. The demonic mutations were quite fun and quite helpful. It was pretty smooth sailing, except I made a really stupid mistake with my endgame weapon just before starting Zot. I had an antimagic eveningstar and I read what I thought was a scroll of enchant weapon, but turned out to be a scroll of brand weapon, which rebranded my eveningstar to holy wrath and promptly blasted me. I tried to fix it and got venom on the first try, then freezing. I decided to stop there since I only had one more branding scroll and it could've given me something worse, plus freezing is pretty good against cold-blooded draconians.
Lugonu's Corruption ability came in really useful on Zot:5 because there was a zot trap blocking a corridor that I had to go through. Corruption gave me a way to go round it.
