Interesting...
If this adventurer dies, may I suggest a barbarian or monk. Always a fun time with those classes.

Heh heh. We should totally make you play with conditions. Like, your archaeologist can only ever wield his starting whip (or a plastic tube, if one becomes availible) as a weapon. He may continue throwing daggers, and he may enchant the whip/tube.

Also, lawful female dwarven valk for the next one, with the condition that she must drop her other weapons in favor of a pick (or dwarven mattock) as soon as one becomes availible.

Picks actually make good weapons in Nethack, incidentally. I watched one guy nearly ascend using nothing but a +7 Mattock once. ;D

Mine out the statues. Large statues sometimes have spellbooks in them. Even if they're small, I think it exercises strength.

Also, only tin corpses if you're satiated or the corpse is poisonous or acidic or something. 94 charges is a lot, but you'll be kicking yourself when you kill dragons or giants and have no charges left on the thing because you just HAD to tin those jackals.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Yeah, you can set conditions. If you want, you can make my conditions under any possible thing (warning: don't make me unable to eat AND unable to prey. I guareentee you I will lose.)

This is for your amusement only, so knock yourself out.

If you find an early wand of wishing, you could wish for the Platinum Yendorian Express Card. Of course, you'de be better off wishing for the Eye of ... whatever the fuck..., the Orb of Fate, 2 scrolls of charging (or 2 magic markers if you've already ID'd charging), a +3 gray dragon scale mail (or silver dragon scale mail), and if you still have charges, +3 speed boots, a +3 helm of brilliance, and a bag of holding. All of those are blessed, fixed, and greased.

Someone should do a Nethack Let's Play with MSPaint Adventures style artwork.

The more I think about it, the more awesome it becomes. ;D

Well, you know how if you take your thumb and forefinger and hold them up to your eye, you can make it look like you're squishing someone's head? It's like that, only for real.
