A joke character ... Android Sorceror! The -5 Int makes for some lousy spellcasting, but starting with a wizardstaff is a nice early compensation (instant CL8, allowing scumming of 4 random stat boosts: I settled on Int, Con, Con, Con). But at that point, one has 40hp and 30sp and virtually no hope of leveling up any further. You won't be able to kill Smeagol or probably even Wormtongue. Well, maybe if you are patient. But, there is always Farmer Maggot. I was really surprised when Lion Heart dropped a 5d9 weapon of slaying (He only drops good in Hengband). CL12 (Int, Con)! But where is Farmer? Yes, I waited in town 5 game days to make sure he would spawn. Eventually, I tracked him down: Armor of Resistance! (CL24) Wow. I need to put down the 16lb weapon of slaying, though, as it was encumbering 70% of my spell points. Fortunately, I stay on CL22, which should be powerful enough for the likes of: Wormtongue, Robin Hood, Smeagol, DL6 and DL12 quests. That's 5 or 6 more shots at something level boosting!

It's possible to dive incredibly far with a sorceror, because of all your detection spells. I had a vanilla-town android sorceror who was about your level and could stay alive at DL 80. I eventually quit in frustration because I couldn't find anything good, but... if your 5 or 6 chances don't pan out, you can just drop really deep and look for goodies :)

Ah, Djabanete! I actually stole this idea from you :D And I do plan on scumming the Tower, so I should have a *much* easier go than you did!

[CL27:DL12] 00:27
DL6 and 12 quest rewards did not help. I forgot that sorcerers are not comfortable with any weapon other than a wizardstaff, so opportunities for leveling up are few indeed! Fortunately, on my way back to town (I forgot to buy ?Recall) I ran into Robin Hood. He dropped Pauraegan (useless, and not so many construction points anyway) and Perseus. That last is wearable, and puts me all the way up to DL27! This has been a charmed start, and rather than take any risks, I think I'll head over to the Tower now for some scumming :D

Keys for leveling up:
Robe of Permanence
Robe of Twilight (If I get really really lucky!)
Crowns of Might/Telepathy
Boots of Speed.

I should be able to hit mid CL30's scumming the towns, and then we'll see about the Cloning Pits.

[CL37:DL60] 02:09
I had a pretty decent town scumming run ... nothing uber like the coveted robe of twilight, but I did pick up Genji, a couple cloaks of the bat, a ring of speed, telepathy crown and nice dragon boots. All told, I went as high as CL38, but decided to put down Perseus for more spell points. Also, I had to go thru 5 !NewLife to fix an 18/70 base Int, which seems pretty heinous for this build. I ended up trading an 18/110 Con down to 18/90, but I think I can live with that.

Time to kill some dragons. I managed to defeat Ulik the Troll, though he got 1 space away from me. Really, that is unacceptable. Usually, I melee hit to a sorcerer is all it takes, though I have managed to get my AC all the way up to 90. Bloodthirsters are the worse as they pretty much get automatic knock out blows if you AC is too low. So its time to stop letting monsters touch me!

Good book finds so far as well (4th Chaos, Demon, Crusade, Nature and Trump books). Its so nice to be able to use 'em all :D

[CL42:DL60] 02:27
Hmmm ... nice dragon armor has me all the way up to CL42! My spell points are a bit lacking though ...

I think it is time to attempt The Cloning Pits. For offense, I guess it will be the Holy Orb. Vampirism True of course, when it works. But the Its, Bokrugs, Dagons all resist. Hmm, and then there are the Dungeon Cleaners, but I think I have Darkness Storm now. Maybe I'll take a look at the Magic Rocket to see if it is castable yet.

CL45 for the Mana Storm.
CL46 for Divine Intervention.

But I suspect it will now get rather difficult to level up.

[CL39:Old Castle] 03:32
I ran The Cloning Pits quite easily, but the Old Castle was another matter. Too many monsters resisted my powerful spells, and I had to resort to spells like Flame Strike and Meteor Swarm. A pack of Ultra Elite Paladins was particularly annoying (they have all resistances and reflection), but my meteor swarms worked OK (One run thru my sp for each). The Iron Lich took about 10 runs thru my sp ... I really need that Mana Storm :D But I'm going backwards it seems. Down to CL39 ... Probably, I should dive down deep in R'lyeh and try to scum good artifacts. I have Call Sunlight and Word of Destruction, so its not like I have to fight anything if I don't want to.

[CL43:DL90] 04:08
My decision to dive deep into R'lyeh has paid off! A pit of red dragons (10+ Hell Wyrms) has yielded Amber and the Jewel of Judgment so far. Still on my wish list are Fingolfin and that magic mirror. Maybe Crimson as well. I think that could put me to CL50.

Interesting side note: Androids can polymorph into demons! I thought androids couldn't change their race?

[CL50:DL94] 04:48
Whoomp! There it is! For a while, I thought I was going to be stuck on CL44 forever, tantalizingly close to my Mana Storm. But when a Lesser Kraken dropped the Mirror, I skyrocketed up to CL50. There's nothing quite like going from no Mana Storm to a nice sweet 5% fail Mana Storm in under 1s :D

Now, I have the small matter of a few pesky resistances to cover up ...

Well, that was a stupid death. I was chasing down Daoloth, and had him on deaths door. He summoned, but I tried to finish him off when a Cyberdemon cast a rocket. I was stunned, and unsure of my next move. Should I teleport? Heal? Destruct? They were all 15% failure thanks to the stunning. And fleeing was not an option since I was I had used stone to mud a couple turns before to open up line of sight on Daoloth and then forgot to ensure safe escape. I tried healing. It worked, but the Cyberdemon launched another rocket! Damn, they are only +10 speed and don't normally fire rockets back to back like that ... YASD!!!

I was having fun with this Sorcerer ... maybe I'll try another.
