Finally, a real victory!

I guess persistence does pay off. I finally got a win with a "real" character tonight. My totals were 20,459 moves, 317 kills, and 10253 gold. Now if I can figure out how to submit a score ....
In case people are curious, my final loadout looked like this:
-1 AC (enhanced / protected) plate mail
+2/+3 War Hammer of Vampire Slaying (I never used the zap)
Ring of Sustain Stregth
Ring of Slow Digestion
I actually found four rings of slow digestion during the game, as well as numerous cursed rings. I had about five rings still waiting to be ID'd when I finished. Identify scrolls were quite hard to come by in this game for some reason. I have never seen such a lucky game in my life. I was under 5 hit points at least a half dozen times, including on the way back up when I ran into two medussas, a dragon, and a troll all stacked in the doorway to the stairs room. I had no choice but to raid an old corpse as it was lying in the only doorway out of my current room. I had to use a potion of paralyze on him twice while I rested, and I still had only 10 HP left after the battle was over. What a great game. I wish my battery wasn't next to dead or I would start another!
