Well, I'm going for a mace win now. I used to think I was good at this game, but I've learned a lot recently. The perma-ESP and Telecontrol are coming in very handy (I have perma-ESP from eating floating eyes but I'm also wearing the amulet since I didn't find a life-saving one). Also, after a certain point a ring is enough to protect you from fire, and an electricity resistant cloak is way more important. Multiple lyres of charm are very useful for taming tons of giant dark frogs and getting a big Int boost.
A couple questions...
- I won Neerc Se'ulb off of Mortifer and tried cloning it but I guess it can't be cloned. Is it possible to get 2 from Mortifer? I'm still in good standing with him and I have a stash of crystal skulls that should make me his champion again pretty quickly
- Also, slob, how much Int do I need to change stuff into valpurium/golden eagle feather? On the materials page on the wiki it says I need 50 to "harden" but nothing hardens into them.

He died 
155,000 points. Orc generals were starting to spawn with +7 mithril halberds and a zombie picked one up and killed him. Was down to GC8.

This is probably one of my best characters yet. Even if he doesn't win, I've never done this well before.
AStr 42, LStr 30, Dex 25, Agi 22, End 20, Per 48, Int 36, Wis 32, Cha 13
Perma-ESP and Perma-Telecontrol
Killed Ur-Khan easily, Golgor Dhan with many strikes until he was missing one leg and exchanged one of his weapons for a broken long sword.
Also has killed multiple valpurium, ommel, octiron golems.
Right now I'm dual-wielding halberds, one mithril and one ruby. Still no sign of Mjolak
But I did get Ne'erc Se'ulb

Finally a good character.
The enner beast was right near the staircase. I hit him with a wand of striking which went *through* him and into the kamikaze dwarf behind him, causing the dwarf to explode! The combination of strike + explosion destroyed the enner's head and finished him off in one go!
Other highlights so far...
Xinroch didn't stand a chance. My mithril halberd +5 shattered his armor and sword.
Golgor Dhan is lurking around GC5 now... I saw him in GC6, ran upstairs but he followed.
Right now I'm trying to get Ne'erc Seulb just for the heck of it. Cruentus is extremely pleased with me but I haven't found Mortifer's altar (might polymorph one).
I really need to learn a different way to beat this game though... I always use halberds. I haven't found Mjolak or any way to wish for it yet though. I'm going to try to go natural limbs for the first time though.

permanent stats
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
I ate two floating eye corpses + two mirrored floating eye corpses and didn't reach permanent ESP Is it because they were mirrored? Or is 4 not enough?

Just had one who found Turox, Vermis, and a cloak of invisibility (torn and then repaired) all in UT 1-2

P.S. I'm sure the polycontrol thing would've been illegitimate, just thought it'd be a funny way to circumvent the rules

I'll give this another shot but here's my first attempt
Turn:
1316 - Entered UT3
1340 - found an oil lamp and wished for Mjolak
2320 - first giant plant
2751 - killed
1435 turns total
Arm Strength went from 13 to 20 in that time because of Mjolak
Killed:
38 plants
46 greater plants
12 giant plants
96 total
Final score: 1427
I had 2 cans of troll blood but couldn't drink quick enough. The main reason I died though was weak body armor (hardened leather I think)
I also had a couple scrolls of teleportation and some offensive wands. My plan if I became desperate was, I had both a ring of polymorph and polycontrol, so I'd turn into something else. Never got the chance to use any of those though, so I could've easily lasted longer. Also, never returned to UT to rest. Starvation seems very likely if you do this for too long... those kiwis aren't enough to keep you going after a while.
