It's been a while since Appelmoes died. The game didn't look like much fun to me anymore. However, seeing some other ppl play, kinda made me curious again. So when I had some time left, I started a new unworldly human mage, Choco.

Wanting to try some new strategies, at first it was really annoying to choose schools rather than to skill sorcery. Basically i got down to two options, one for party play (leech everything this build wouldn't be able to do), and one for solo play. The first one would be mainly optimized for the Netherrealms, while the second would actually be able to beat Morgoth without leeching, or so i thought.

Since a king (or in this case Empress) without a Morgy kill on the uniques list looks bad imo, I decided to do go with the last option. Basically mana, fire, temporal, udun to 50, divination till clearvoyance, earth till stone prison. And of course disarm spell is needed as well. (most of) The rest went into spellpower, at least till level 50.

There's been some talk about it being extremely hard to king mages after lots of things have changed (sorc skill made *expensive*, wraith beeing made nearly useless) and basically all arguments are valid. However. Fighting with wraith only halves damage. So it's similar to 'oldstyle' playing where you have some weak player leech king status. Yes, that did happen before, at least for Appelmoes it did.

I wanted to know if it was possible to kill a boosted Morgoth solo, one time I even tried Morgoth with two people leeching, but with 2 stars left I had to give up as I ran out of manapotions. But in these cases Appelmoes was a fallen king and had skills way beyond a normal level 50 character.

But still, nearly everything else was killable with wraith never turned off. Basically I had no spare key to macro 'stop wraithform' at first, but since I had to give up tons of spells because of skilling schools, some keys became available again. But after killing uniques in the Netherrealms with Appelmoes, playing with wraith in shallow Angband was easy.

Morgoth with wraith still turned on IS possible, however all attempts I made failed. There was a fight where my offense was without wraith, and that fight was a really lucky one. There was no summon. (however, Morgy's ranged attacks nearly did whipe me out) Morgy was defeated, Choco became an empress.

Gaining a few levels here and there, Choco went to the Netherrealms.. Forgetting that Tik is guarding that place, there have been some interesting summons. After killing Tik in Angband, NR became qutie interesting, however still very dangerous.

When more and more levels were gained, skills allowed for more safety. Scumming the NR shop a lot for manapotions nearly made me go insane. It takes sooo much time of being focussed doing nothing, it just hurt my brain. It seems that shop stocks were low compared to what they used to be, however, it must have been some magic bad luck, since the developers didn't change anything.

Having thought about different strategies, I went to -100 NR, together with Emperor Lealin (who is still alive at this moment), to kill the Hellraiser. And I did. Long fight, about 300 mana potions (which I consider very little for such a fight) I have thought of ways to take on the hellraiser solo, but Lealin was kind enough to help me out this time, so I didn't get to try my latest strategies. (but I'm still confident my idea will work!)

After fooling around a lil more, I found Dor at -600 NR today. In fact, he found me. I went down the stairs and there he was. Somehow I got rocketed for only 207 damage and only once (wow i react fast!); since I went > with (relatively) LOW sp, this could have been the end. But it wasn't. In fact, the tiny vault was very nice for killing Dor without him seeing me. I also made a (crappy) movie about this event; it's quite boring, yet maybe interesting to some people, to watch.

Eventually this char got to level 70. Nothing could stop Choco now. And I still say Choco could have easily survived this. But yes, I messed up. I used \e) in my teleport macro, that's what killed me.

But this was a very unlucky set of events anyway. Aether hounds breathing from outside the screen, teleporting into a nether hound pack, teleporting into more madness, teleporting into more madness. Stone prison never got through, *des* never got through. Yep, it's my own fault. A shame things had to end this way.

Of course, killing the Hellraiser and Dor has never been done before with an unworldly character, but unworldly really is just the same as everlasting. There's the same monsters, same uniques, same kind of crappy loot, same skills, same strategies. So everyone claiming unworldly is really hard, well, they can believe what they want..... =P

Empress Choco has been a fun character to play. I'm very busy nowadays, I've only had time to play a lot for about a week. Choco has only lived for about a week. After today I wouldn't really have had time to play anyway, but it would have been nice to have a Dragon Lady around. While playing Choco I did record a few movies, which some people considered to be great. (yay)

The name Choco resembles my chocolate addiction, as well as my interest in Final Fantasy :)
