+I did it! I ascended! I won! This is probably the best thing that's happened to me all year.
-Kletian is rocking Gehennom right now. He knows a lot of spells (magic mapping!) and can cast most of them at 0% failure, thanks to his +4 fireproof robe. He's also decked out with a +5 SDSM, +4 boots of speed, and +5 helm of brilliance, for a total AC of -31 (and my HP is around 230). I accidentally lost his leather gloves (+0, so no big deal), so I'm thinking of wishing up +2 fireproof gloves of dexterity. I haven't yet fully used the first wand of wishing (wished for MM, boots, and another MM, then recharged the wand), nor have I started on the one from the castle, so I have plenty of unused wishes.

-He has cleared out the Big Room. He didn't do Sokoban (he already has reflection and a BoH), but he did stop by there after ID'ing a cursed scroll of genocide so he could summon nurses. His max HP is now 170, pretty good for a character at XL12. His AC is only at -7; I haven't bought any protection, nor can I afford any at this point. I'm hoping to stumble on Fort Ludios or enchant my armor to the point that it doesn't matter anymore.

-He has identified all of the really useful scrolls (enchant weapon, enchant armor, genocide, and of course identify) and many of the more useful potions. He has about 10 holy waters in his bag of holding to help bless anything he needs; he also has a stash of around seven blank scrolls, but up until now no magic marker.
+My weapons are just as good as my armor. My melee weapon is the +7 rustproof Vorpal Blade, which I got from being crowned while praying to bless water, and I also have the +7 Longbow of Diana with a stash of 81 blessed +7 arrows. Awesome!
-That is, until he ran into a box with an un-ID'd wand on DL14. I engrave tested it and it turned out to be a wand of wishing. Rock on! My first wish was a [[magic marker]]. I'm going to write a ton of scrolls, enchant my helm of brilliance up to +5, and genocide L and h. Then I'll have to decide what to do with the other four or five wishes I get from that wand... plus another five or six from the wand in the castle... I like how this game is going.
+I can feel it -- this is the game I'll finally ascend!

 * Lily, a female human [[Monk]]. I was doing wonderfully. I had a wand of death, great protection, two artifacts, a bag of holding, awesome Luck, and three potions of full healing. I reached DL 20 and saw a giant in the room. I walked toward him to fight when I see a black line and those dreadful words: [[DYWYPI]]? Giant with a death ray. Holy crap.
-* Marion, a female human [[Barbarian]]. I cleared out an [[opulent throne room]] early in the game and got two wishes from sitting on it! I wished for a blessed +2 gray dragon scale mail (got +0) and a blessed fireproof +2 pair of boots of speed. Cleared the Mines and Sokoban, then dove a bit. At level 20, I got shot by a death ray and immediately recognized the [[bones]] level from my last character, Lily (see below). I looted her stuff and got down to -6 AC. I continued my dive but trapdoored through Medusa's level. This was unfortunate because I didn't have a means of levitation. I cleared out the castle, the Valley of the Dead, and the first floor of Gehennom before breaking down and wasting a wish on a ring of levitation. I returned, cleared the Quest, and donated my way to -17 AC. I have now descended into Gehennom, slaying [[Juiblex]], [[Vlad]], and the [[Wizard of Yendor]] and driving off [[Orcus]]. Marion finally died at the Wizard's hands after slaying him eight times. I attribute her death to her lack of [[fire resistance]]: the fire traps in Gehennom lowered her to 136 max HP. YASD. This was my first non-Wizmode game to get past Medusa and by far my best game to date.

 * Lara, a female dwarven [[Archeologist]]. (I swear I play guys sometimes.) A successful protection run had her at -8 AC with pretty lame equips, then later at -12 with +2 GDSM (ditching some bulky equipment in favor of spellcasting). A few polymorphs later, my pet was a fire giant, and I crossed paths with [[Fire Brand]] quite by accident, which was my weapon of choice despite no proficiency. I cleared [[Sokoban]] for an [[amulet of reflection]]. I made it down to the Big Room, which was also my quest level. I didn't know they could be on the same level, but there you have it. A few levels below that, I found a nurse and did the nurse thing for a bit, then ran into a cockatrice. Yep, you guessed it. Forgot to re-equip my weapon. YASD. This one had promise, too.
