          He's back from Hades and cranky about not managing to get
          Persephone back.  His time in the netherworld has also
          transformed him into something other than human.

          Mine.

Running through the standard early game stuff, getting reacquainted with Heng after a being away for a while. Ah, I love the level-driven stat gain. Without it, the inherently incompatible stat-mods of Bard and Beastman would make him nearly hopeless in melee for a long time. With it (and a couple fortunate early augments) and he had 4 blows/round by level 20 or so.

Didn't think he'd survive the ocean run, so the Arena Acqusition scroll was cashed in at the Mine, producing the handy helm of Beauty. You always want to save the Dark Elven Lord quest for a while, because sometimes the Phial turns up other places (like the Vault, this time). Then you can go get another Acquisition scroll. And that one produced the Glaive of Pain. The Tengu and Death Swords quest gave out the Trump Sword, and he got Ishikawa heading into the Mine, so weapons are nice.

Hm, my default for Heng seems to be Preserve On. I seem to find fewer artifacts early this way, especially with the dynamic level feelings.

The Phial really sucks in Heng... not even the RDark, so any Ego Feanorian Lamp is better.

Yeah, the Phial is indeed a waste. Its scarcely better than a plain old Feanorian Lamp you might get for finishing the Sewer Quest. In fact, the Phial sucking was one of the reasons I went with Preserve: Off. In the mid-game, Bards have fabulous detection through Clairaudience, and the only artifact he really had a good chance of coming across before getting that ability was the Phial.

I was basically hoping that the Phial would spawn somewhere in early Angband, or in the Vault, and I'd miss it, but it would still be gone for tracking purposes, thus providing the scroll of acquisition from the Dark Elven Lords quest. Additionally, after playing with Preserve: Off for a while in Entroband, I've kinda gotten used to it.

Doom Quest 1 provided not 1 but 2 ego Feanorian Lamps (the other was +Infravision, so I sold it) while the Sewer Quest one was a plain one.

Eequor has been a great patron so far. At least 3 and probably 4 augmentations already, plus numerous single stat gains. He's also coughed up a pair of weapons of chaos (which were sold to raise money for the (+9, +9) Ring of Slaying) and those gauntlets of power, which I could see him easily still using in the late game.

His stats are superb all-around, so he'll likely be doing a polymorph fest shortly. If it goes well (c'mon Kutar or Vampire!), I might run him up to Zul to purge mutations until the Chaos Patron is gone.

Oh, overall playtime is off as I've been leaving the computer on while changing diapers, etc, so real play time is probably a little over 3 hours at this point.

(clevel:25, dlevel:38) The polymorph fest went well, though it certainly took a damn long time to get a good race. Was hoping for Kutar, but Vampire will do. Picked up most of the really good mutations, but suffered probably an average of 45 points of permanent stat damage to every stat getting there, so it wasn't without tradeoffs.

Killing fields provided 5 levels worth of XP, and that "attracts demons" mutation proved crucial. Didn't think he'd actually be able to kill the maulotaur while at -2 speed, especially after a Nycademon was "attracted" and it burned up his staff of speed. However, just as he finished clearing the outer part a whole pack of friendly Bykhee were attracted. Orpheus knocked down the wall, and the Bykhee started summoning more friendly demons. A Nycadaemon and a pack of clubber demons beat the Maulotaur down to 1 star, while the bykhee and some gargoyles held off the warriors. Orpheus dismissed them and cleaned up.

Glaurung was tough, requiring a potion of healing and most of a staff of speed to kill, but I got him and he dropped Hammerhand.

Came back to dlevel 44, and saw a Pattern vault that was a special level to boot. Found Balli right away, and got through part of the vault, but the strategy of teleporting stuff away haunted him, as stuff slowly came back to the vault.

(clevel:36, dlevel:44) Failed Cloning Pits, which was kind of embarassing. Managed to kill all of the set monsters, but Borel of Hendrake, of all monsters, managed to thwart Orpheus. Borel's not all that tough, but he summons aid (which means High Priests and Sorcerers at this depth) and he does it a lot.

I was fixated on knocking off the set uniques, so I didn't check both sets of random monsters before getting started. Even when I saw what was going on, I hoped the Queen Ants could hold them off. Borel and Co mopped the floor with the ants. Orpheus knocked off Quachil Uttaus, Dwar, Ashram, and various Dracoliches which had been summoned before finally deciding the fight was lost. Eequor was unhelpful, hitting Orpheus with a Ruination when he leveled while fighting Quachil, and then polymorphing him into a deformed Gnome (effectively slagging his stats a second time).

Grabbed as many things as I could on the way out, including the 4th Bard book (got the 3rd book in that Pattern Vault a while back), Slayer (yet another great weapon), and a few lesser artifacts. Checking the list, Orpheus missed a 'thanc and the Stone of Lore, so no great loss.
