My third NetHack ascension happened on . I was playing as a chaotic male human barbarian (started female). It was my first wishless ascension. I was playing NetHack 3.6.0. It was on a different computer than my prior two ascensions, which accounts for the different high score list.
You made the top ten list! No Points Name Hp [max] 1 2329658 david-Bar-Hum-Mal-Cha ascended to demigod-hood. 221 [286]
About to escape the dungeon. Most of my armor was well enchanted because of an abundance of blank scrolls and magic markers, but I was hurting for magic cancellation. I had had to fight the wizard twice and he killed me once with a touch of death, using up my fifth and last amulet of life saving. I had a wand of wishing, but I hadn't used it yet and I thought I'd go for wishless.
Got through earth. I used up a lot of turns because the portal was hidden in a tiny chamber without monsters.
On air, again I had to go over the whole level twice because the portal was hidden in the corner. I picked up a set of gray dragon scales, with an eye towards converting them into mail on the next level, even though it would mean giving up the +5 enchantment on my blue dragon scale mail.
On the plane of fire, I managed to find some downtime and make my gray dragon scale mail. The portal was easy to find because a fire elemental stumbled into it. I had to defeat a spawned archon, and caught a lucky break when a fire vortex decided to drop me on land instead of into a pool of lava.
No problem on the Plane of Water. A bubble floated me to the portal pretty quickly. I tried to take advantage of the respite to enchant my armor more, but my magic marker was too dried out.
Contents of the bag of holding:
Amulet of ESP showed me Pestilence to the left; decided to go to the right. Fought my way to the door on the right and sensed Death behind it. Opened the door and Death engaged, using a touch of death attack (which failed) and an attack that lowered my max HP. Began retreating from Death, back towards the center. Used a leather drum and a scroll of stinking cloud behind me to sow disarray and weaken Death. Rapidly draining HP caused me to swap a ring of protection for a ring of regeneration.
When Death got near, a wand of probing showed that it had 16/40 health. Zapped wands of magic missile and striking at it as it approached. When it was adjacent, one strike from Stormbringer was enough to bring it down.
Stepped over the corpse of Death and dashed back to the open door. Considered replacing my speed boots with boots of jumping for more mobility, but decided not to take the turns. The angels summoned a bunch of insects and acid blobs, which was good because it limited the stronger monsters' mobility. Cut a path to the next door; however forgot to close and lock it behind me. Death had resurrected.
Near the temple, ESP showed me that an archon lay in wait inside. Tried to kite the priests and angels so they wouldn't be blocking the door and I could sidestep them through it. The archon blinded and stunned me as soon as it came into view. Decided to go back and close the door behind me, fearing Death's approach from the rear. This had the lucky side effect of drawing out the archon, leaving the doorway into the temple clear. Made a beeline back to the door, the archon dazzled me again twice, I put on a towel, cured my staggered condition, and continued inside.
Closing and locking the temple door behind me, stepped past the high priest, who was attacking me because of my ring of conflict. Still blind, approached the altar. "There is a high altar to Set (chaotic) here." #chat with the high priest to earn a quick 2 zorkmids, #offer the amulet...
You offer the Amulet of Yendor to Set... An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance... The voice of Set thunders: "Congratulations, mortal!" "In return for thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!" You ascend to the status of Demigod...
