That dreadful quest ... [S, comp]

[Magnate]

Well, here is the wild 'n' wacky spiral vault which put paid to my very promising competition character. As you can see, I cleared the whole thing - but I hadn't finished the quest. The last four haunted helmets were all in a single room down in the SW corner of the level. I killed two, but when I went back to do the last two something paralysed me (I think some of the lower wraiths can paralyse in S) - I'd forgotten to swap back in my FA ring after testing out all sorts of new unIDd rings dropped in the vault. Dammit.

My next attempt at the comp is doing ok but is much further behind - not sure how far I'll get in time ....

That's why I always test the stuff in the town or after making sure there's nothing around.
Of course I play a mage, so it's easy to just cast detect monsters..
