YAVP---15 rune win
Dear Crawlers:
After this character, I'm going into pretty much (forced) (at least) semi-retirement---there is just TOO much to do in "meatspace," and so little time. . . .
Whilst I think that this may be my baddest-butt character _EVER_ (But not the highest scoring? --Huh?), I think she may also have been my most PAINFUL character, as well. At one point:
Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations
You cannot wear most types of armour.
You are amphibious.
You can wear up to eight rings at the same time.*
You can use your tentacles to constrict many enemies at once.*
Your skin changes colour to match your surroundings (Stlth).*
Your rubbery body absorbs attacks (AC +1).*
You often lose your temper in combat.
You are clumsy (Dex -2).
Your body is slowly deteriorating.
You are dopey (Int -4).
Your metabolism is lightning-fast.
You are frail (-10% HP).
You occasionally shout uncontrollably.
You are weak (Str -1).
* : Suppressed by some changes of form.
(Second time I got "frail"---I also had "slow healing," at one point. . . . Normally just give up and ascend, after getting that one---this time I _persevered_. . . .)
(The reason I went into those ziggurats, in the first place (CrAzY places, INDEED!)---was to get potions of cure mutation; which, the game, FINALLY delivered. . . .) Also, throughout the entire game, it just WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE ITEMS I NEEDED. I had to batter my way all the way to D 25, to get poison resistance, for Swamp. (A dodgy proposition, for a lower-level character, indeed.) --And the game *NEVER* gave me a ring of regeneration. (!!) (Usually, in the late game, I traipse around with a double bank of regen rings, in lich-form, "spamming" regen all the while. . . . Any fight I can walk away from, and I'm soon ready for the next.
)
You guys with SOO RIGHT about statue form. (!!) Coupled with haste, stoneskin, and four banks of rings of slaying---and this young lady, became a very dangerous squidie, indeed. (!!) I forgot (!!) to put on my shield of rF++---and STILL took down Cerebov (and a simultaneous fiend or two), on the first go. (!!) Without regen, though--and with ALL THAT HELLFIRE--Gehanna was . . . pretty tough. I saved that for the very last---and I remember shattering part of the fortress in the lava, so I couldst controlled blink back and forth across one section, saving me travel time, and thus more damage. . . . I can't remember ever doing something like that before.
--Good crawling, and (at least for now) good-bye, Dudes and Dudettes!!
--TPV
PS I thought one had to _wear_ an "emits mutagenic radiation" item, to get mutated. --Well guess what?? I'm hoping that little observation can help somebody, someday. . . .
