YAWP: Second winner ever! Emennar the Dwarf Paladin

[tonedeaf]

Firstly thanks so much to the devs, 3.5.0 is the most fun version of Angband I've played (and I started with Moria......). I actually registered for the forum mainly just to say thanks! Things seemed really nicely balanced - I found I was getting useful drops of equipment at the right time, not mega powerful items but just good enough to use for a few levels.

I had a mage winner back in the 3.0.x days, and a save scummed winner even earlier, but I think I enjoyed this one more. No selling made the game much more fun, I used to lug tons of gear around the dungeon and recall back to town continuously to make money - now every time I got bored I took a down staircase.

Randarts were a bit odd, I had a huge amount of +stat options and almost no speed or amazing weapons. For the final fight I ended up using two rings of speed and a scythe of slicing, but had a lazy +11 to dex without really trying.

I made a number of probably big mistakes in the final fight - got down to my last potion of everything, didn't have sustained wisdom, completely forgot I could use Banish Evil to clear out the summons. Clearly I don't react well under pressure. Still, the big fella got taken down which is all that matters.

I'm off to have a celebratory beer. Thanks all for the hours of entertainment.
