Revision as of 09:07, 21 September 2015
Long-time player here. I've ascended in the following roles:
Currently working on:
- Rogue
- I'm shooting to get a highly charismatic orc to demigoddess.
- Completed the quest, only to be zapped by a wand of death by a random troll on the quest level. So it goes.
I play the nethack-qt version on Ubuntu Linux with graphical tiles.
I've not tried most of the variants. I played SLASH'EM for a while, but it crashed hard on me in the middle of a big game, so I gave up on it. Still holding out hope that the DevTeam will deliver an update in my lifetime.
Will try to contribute back in the unlikely event I discover something that's not already explained here :-).

The adventures of Queen Shel, orcish rogue and warrior
Preamble
Shel was the queen of a proud tribe of orcs in the southern mountains of G'hel. At her birth, the tribe shaman predicted she would one day bring glory to Kos. She was respected as a warrior and as a leader. She and her husband Kh'unar had raided many human camps and brought wealth and fortune to her clan. One night, everything changed. She woke up to screams and battle calls. Her tribe was under attack by a party of human knights.
Almost the entire tribe, including her mate, were killed that night. Shel fought bravely, but realized that escape was her only hope. Along with the few other survivors, she ran into the nearby forest. An arrow got stuck in her leather armor, but didn't injure her -- thanks to the enchantment the tribe's shaman had cast upon it. Her trusty war dog, Anog, escaped by her side.
Weeks later, Shel found herself in the streets of Brun, the nearest city, barely making a living as a cutpurse. She had no qualms about stealing from humans and elves, who were no better than pigs (and just as delicious). Eventually she came to the attention of the local guild of thieves, who recruited her and trained her in the art of stealth.
Members of the guild met almost every night at a local tavern, and soon she began hearing the stories: of the vast underground dungeon that extended deep into the surface, where the Master of Thieves resided with an army of trained thugs. And of the amulet.
She knew that she needed to succeed where so many others had died and failed. She was a queen, destined to become a demigoddess.
