New memorable randarts

[MITZE]

FAA randart; actually kind of hard to fit in because speed is hard to accumulate, but maybe with two good rings?

Didn't find this, but might be the most amazing artifact armor I have seen.

Worst level ever

Got 'something worthwhile' feeling on DL18. Good! Early artifact!
Turned out to be this:

Cloack 'Eluil' [1, -14] <-4> {cursed}:
Found on the floor at 900 feet.

It makes you vulnerable to fire but resistant to cold
It paralyses you every now and then.
-4 Intelligence
Feather falling

Activates for 6d8 frost bolt

Later, found a chest. Hopefully there is at least something useful inside.
A ring! Nice!... Or not:

Band of Vathimbar [-22] {cursed}

It periodically turns your skin to stone
It paralyses you every now and then.

Sustains strength, constitution.
Aggravates creatures nearby.

I dunno. I still think Beruthiel and Mormegil are worse. It'd be very hard to top -10 speed.

Weapons with -3EA.

Yeah, some individual artifacts are worse but it was kind of 'funny' finding 2 dismal things in a row. Besides, unless you uncurse it, that ring is rather complete: It paralyses you, invites everyone to come and hit you and with -22 AC makes sure nobody misses you. And if you wear that cloak, you might be just stupid enough to put it on.

Anyway, bit later RNG gods turned friendlier:

I present this lovely suit of armor for consideration in the truly awful category.

n) the Hard Leather Armour of Unulos (-1) [16,-16] <-5> {cursed}
     Dropped by Golfimbul, the Hill Orc Chief at 900 feet (level 18)
     
     It makes you vulnerable to fire attacks, but resistant to cold.
     It occasionally makes a loud noise.
     -5 searching skill.
     Provides protection from fear.
     Cannot be harmed by Acid, Fire.
     Prevents paralysis.  Prevents teleportation.  Drains experience.

And this amazing, ridiculous shovel...

 the Shovel 'Manfaere' (1d2) (+15,+15) [+19] <+3, +4, +2, +1>
     Dropped by Bullroarer the Hobbit at 450 feet (level 9)
     
     +3 stealth.
     +4 tunneling.
     +2 speed.
     +1 attack speed.

     evil creatures.
     Branded with weak lightning.
     Provides resistance to Acid, Lightning, Shards, Nether.

One of the standard challenge games is killing Morgoth with a shovel. You are well on your way....
