Bleeko the Neutral Gnomish Wizard 2022-11-20: Ascended in 55310 turns hardfought.org, November Nethack Tournament version 3.6.6 Took a couple of tries to make it happen, and a bit of start-scummiung for a ring of slow digestion, but I ran this wizard foodless to the quest for an achievement. It was a close thing though, because I had let my hunger advance to Weak and was about to pray. I just wanted to make sure that it was safe, so I sacrificed a little nothing monster. "Thanks Little Mortal Dude! Here's Magicbane!" Oh no! How am I going to reset my timeout before fainting?? I read whatever create monster scrolls I had and started blowing a whistle, but still hadn't gotten there. There was a tengu on the other side of the board that I figured I might be able to chase down, so I started moving towards him, when he warped right to me! Phew! That put me over the top so the foodless run could continue. When I got to the quest, I had poly control, so I tried to leave the nemesis alive. Became a wood nymph, hit one bell, hit two eye, and goodbye! I had so much fun that I did the same with Vlad and the High Priest too. A very fun game. ---Bleeko the Necromancer St:18/50 Dx:23 Co:18 In:19 Wi:18 Ch:16 Neutral S:1363030 Astral Plane $:0 HP:172(204) Pw:160(409) AC:-42 Xp:25 T:55310 You went to your reward with 3060060 points, Magicbane (worth 3500 zorkmids and 8750 points) The Bell of Opening (worth 5000 zorkmids and 12500 points) The Eye of the Aethiopica (worth 4000 zorkmids and 10000 points) The Really Cool Shirt (worth 800 zorkmids and 2000 points) The Book of the Dead (worth 10000 zorkmids and 25000 points) Fire Brand (worth 3000 zorkmids and 7500 points) The Candelabrum of Invocation (worth 5000 zorkmids and 12500 points) and 0 pieces of gold, after 55310 moves.
