Cain #1 attempted a quick dive to get the ring from the boss yeek: slow, summon, summon ... dead. This is the story of Cain #2, who faired rather better. Early game was uneventful, although the early quests / uniques dropped nothing useful. However, found a latern of darkness on Boldor's level - opening the way to use Sting without giving up superstealth. Debated ignoring the DE lords quest in the hope of finding the phial in the dungeon - I was holding on to the arena ?aquirement for a trip to Ryleh; 2 ?aquirements would make it much esier to justify the risk. Decided to do the quest mainly for the experience, and the possibility of a stat potion. Very glad I did, as one of the lords dropped Cambeleg!! Another dropped a staff of destruction!!! Time to get Sting. The vault proved easy, although only got sting at the last attempt - in a room filled with inertia hounds. Fortunately, a teleport landed me next to the prize ... grab, teleport, recall. Whew. Decided I wasn't up to the lvl24 quest (disadvantage of the competition is that other peoples dumps let you know in advance who the quest monster is, and I knew I would struggle to handle Gachapin). Explored a bit between Angband 22 & 23, and then got lucky - first, found the cloak of Mook lying on the dungeon floor (RChaos), and then a young bronze dragon dropped Faramir. Decided I had everything I needed to risk Ryleh. ?aquirement yielded nothing of interest. Scummed for a while, managing to cherry pick a few unknown items out of small vaults, but got nothing useful apart from a potion of *healing*. Up/down/up/down ... whoa ... found myself standing next to the entrance of a *huge* vault (looked it up - "subdivisions"). I had to go for it. Destructed my way in, and detected objects. Two items drew my attention: an unknown ring, near the centre of the vault - guessed it was probably a speed ring - and a metal cap in one of the premium locations in the centre. Could it be Diatribe? I had to find out. Much to my surprise, it was only guarded by an orc, but I had to tip-toe past the (sleeping) Tarrasque and Godzilla to grab it. So it was at clvl 28 I became the proud owner of one of the apex artifacts in the game. Went back to grab the ring - teleporting its guardian away without a problem - and found myself the proud owner of Narya!!. Decided I'd pushed my luck far enough in Ryleh, so headed back to Angband. Dived, completing the Lvl 24, 38 and 44 quests without a problem. Then I did the cloning pits, which proved trivial. Only useful item obtained through all of this were Shivas boots, although one of the "Its" did drop Slayer, the apex weapon in the game for pretty much everyone except a ninja. Returned to Angband, diving through the lvl 50, 56, 62 and 76 quests. No problem. Foraged a while around lvls 80 to 87, mainly to get an idea who the lvl88 quest monster might be. No sign of Gothmog, so decided it had to be him - an easy kill for a ninja with fire immunity. WRONG! It was Sauron. The fight was very tough, (used about half of my healing resources, ~10 healing and 7 *healing*, but ninjas are so good at finding resources that I wasn't too worried by this). The fight won, I dived down to lvl 99 for some endgame foraging. Found a scroll of artifact creation, which was read on the falcon sword. The result was very nice, and it immediately displaced Sting. Then I found Quickthorn, and realised that all I need to go for the win was its partner (an a bit more experience). A win in well under 1 000 000 moves seemed in sight. Started to focus on killing uniques, especially those I wouldn't want summoned by the Serpent, both for the drop, and the experience. Oh look, there's Caine - not only is he a wanted monster, but there 's only room for one Cain in this dungeon! Easy kill ... you are paralysed ... cyberdemons ... splat.

Comments on Entro. Some will find the concept of amberite instadeath (or random speed instadeath from the like of Nodens) unacceptable. Normally, this dosn't bother me - I have at least 10 Entro and Heng winners - so I find it easy to be philosophical about the occasional "unjust" death. But, I must admit I was a bit irritated that this happened in a competition. Interested in others thoughts on this. With regard to ninjas, which are a very fun class, I suggest bringing back some of the ninja-friendly artifacts from Heng. With regard to other classes, I think all the fighter and half caster classes are very well balanced, and fun to play (although I think the ranger is too strong, and should lose the second majic realm). Mages, whether vanilla, high or blue, and mirror masters, and especially sorcerors need reworking - I find then exceptionally laborious to play - and not much fun. It might just be my play style, but the very low presence of these classes on the ladder probably supports my position. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the long writeup! The curse of topi ylinen can be nasty, and you were hit with the worst possible variant, fall-through para-through-FA plus cyberdemons. As you know, that rarely happens. Sorry :( I wonder if you had shard resistance, maybe you would have survived the rocket. What was your HP before killing Caine?

Good point about the ninja artifacts, I did remove some of them. Nice job finding Diatribe and Maelstrom. I hope you give the comp another shot!

I was at full HP. I try to ensure I'm always at full HP when aministering the killing blow to an amberite. However four cyberdemons between them can be expected to fire about 1 rocket per round, so you could say I was lucky to survive as long as I did - 2 rockets would have killed me even with shard resist.

It's earlier in the message list. *If* an amberite curses you, it happens before s/he dies, and paralysis is one of the first TY effects, then the (multiple) stat drains, followed by other possible effects such as teleport and/or disintegration which didn't happen here. Then you (might) get surrounded, with cyberdemons generally the worst result. The amberite only dies after this has all happened.

PS: you might also note "...You were killed by a Cyberdemon while helpless on level 96 of Angband." in the character description.
