Wonderful progress!
I after fountain tricking myself some more holy waters (you can never have enough!) I poly'd up myself a:
-Ring of polymorph control
-Ring of teleport control
-another scroll of genocide!
Given the scroll of genocide, I changed my mind and genocided h. That'll be the last species of things I eliminate. Maybe.
Also, I got a cartoonishly large load of enchant armor scrolls. I'm saving some this time for when I'm able to confuse myself on command, but together with the couple thousand more zorks I poured into priest charity, I'm up to -43 AC. I have WAY too much money though, so I may pour more into priest charity.
Polying into a Vampire Lord is fun. Having -53 AC is great.
I used the spell "detect treasure" to find every vault in the main dungeon. Netted me alot of cash, too much cash, really. I'm disheartened that I didn't find Fort Ludios, I wanted to see what it looked like.
Great news though: I found the bones file of my previous tourist! How crazy is that?! He doesn't have much that I don't have already, but I took everything of value, including the Magicbane! It was cursed, but that's nothing a little holy water never fixed.
At around this time, a co-aligned unicorn started harassing me, I killed it and took the luck penalty. No big deal, right?
Got to the castle, and I found that mastermind is a really hard game to play.
Solution: put on a ring of levitation (in case I revert to a human at the wrong moment) and I float safely along the moat, to the other side of the castle, where the back door is! Haha!
The dragons were pitifully easy to defeat. The black one shot off a ray that disintegrated two of his buddies, and then I killed and ate the others. Disintegration resistance probably won't come in handy, but it's better than not having it.
The guaranteed throne didn't yield anything useful.
Something weird though, fighting through the castle, it seems that most of the castle was deserted. The barracks, the front hall, everything. I thought there was supposed to be tons of soldiers and stuff? Did they all jump to their dooms into the trap doors, or into the moat (I knocked the bridge down)?
Anyway, wand of wishing time! Got it, disappointed to find it only has 2 charges, no biggie though, I can get 3 more with my PYEC, and one last one can be wrested afterwards for 6 wishes in all. blessed greased fixed amulet of unchanging and blessed greased fixed ring of conflict. ID'ing them yielded me the info that they were given to me cursed. Turns out I had negative luck... DAMN YOU UNICORN! Anyway, more holy water fixes the problem. I even used my last holy water to bless the amulet of unchanging, because my survival is reliant on me being able to take it off at a moments notice.
I then poly'd into a Vampire Lord again, with 65 hp this time! The most I've gotten thus far. Amulet of unchanging is now on, and I'm going to go starting digging the path from the upstairs to the downstairs on every level, to prepare for my run towards glory!
