On the 12th day before Christmas, I decided to make a serious push for a win in Sil 1.1.1 before Christmas. Xmas-13-010 was the 25th attempt. Earlier chars were named 'Advent' but changed names after Advent-012 perished.

Earlier builds ( Fingolfin ) often took Flanking and dodging as soon as enough experience but inevitably they tended to die after being sandwiched in a corridor before sufficient armour/good weapon had been found. A couple of attempts took Blocking and Hvy Armour Use which had some success. Also, found that chars tended to do better when they lucked onto a good weapon on 50-150ft. So began starting with Feanor for the free smithing slot.

For Xmas-13-010, I elected to build up melee and evasion ( inspired by clouded's Hador vids ) and wait and see what gear was dropped aside from smithing one and half weapons at the first forge. Even though Xmas-13-010 lucked onto Glamdring very early on, there was still a couple of hairy moments around 500ft-550ft. The slaying of Ulfang ( the bane of previous characters ) with an axe after chasing him around the level was the defining moment for this character.

Like in previous runs, had trouble with worms (shadow and nether) breeding explosively on some levels which were not fully explored so don't know if good items/artefacts were lost.
Again, confused about how visibility works but for this run, managed to not get into too much trouble over it.

One memorable incident at 650ft, came across a deathblade and started a fight with it and then realised, both Xmas-13-010 and the deathblade could not hurt one another and sort of wondered if would have to explore the rest of the map with a deathblade futilely hitting her. By luck, discovered death blades were territorial.

There was close shave post-Dagorhir with his retinue of Troll Guards and Greater Werewolves after being caught in a corridor. Probably the one time during the descent that I prayed that the RNG would be kind and there really were only 2 Greater Werewolves in the way of an open room.

After losing a Staff of Revelations to a fire drake and with Xmas-13-010 shaping up quite nicely, I thought perhaps killing Morgoth was on the cards and so decided to let the time counter run down while scumming 900ft-950ft for consumables. A good decision as it turned out after accumulating over nearly 30 healing consumables. Also picked up Dramborleg and it became quite straightforward picking off the uniques ( Str 6 helps ). Also found Feanorian lamps of true sight and brightness and also the common garden variety.

The throne-room battle with Morgoth didn't go to plan. Morgoth seemed to Earthquake every other round throwing up walls and rubble, negating my pick of Whirlwind Attack; don't think that ever kicked in. Between the quakes, managed to knock the crown down and started Silmaril plucking. After Morgoth had effectively blocked his route to Xmas-13-010 with more earthquaking, I thought I could extract 3 silmarils before perhaps trying to take Morgoth mano-v-femo. It was not to be, Dramborleg shattered upon the 2nd Silmaril and thus Xmas-13-010 fled the throne-room and began the ascent I dreaded - mindful of Lirdh-002.
( In retrospect, should have attempted to a fight with Morgoth with a Doriath bastard sword? )

The ascent was frustrating. Definitely the worst part of the run trying to find stairs manually with a rampaging god behind. Rapidly went through the healing herbs and potions whenever Morgoth laid a bead on Xmas-13-010. At 650ft, really thought Xmas-13-010 was a goner after wandering into a one-way vault with Morgoth behind, werewolves and vampires around. Luckily, Morgoth earthquaked the vault open, so a combo of dodging and tunnelling with Belegost ( awesome artefact, great as a weapon too ).

At the Gates of Angband, spent too much time attempting to kill Carcharoth ( even taking Opportunist to try to get the killing blow in ) without realising the exit was only several steps away.

Thus, endeth the tale of my first Sil winner.
