So while it's not as easy going as my usual Gargoyle Berseker, playing a Draconian Fighter of Jiyva is surprisingly rewarding. I can't use all this armor anyway, eat up my little friends! And now I breathe fire, drool acid and am covered in golden eyeballs. I love this.
Oh, I didn't. I just beelined straight for Lair8, then backtracked once I used a couple magic mapping scrolls and realized it had actually spawned on 6. Then I went for the orc mines. I sort of had to race the slimes to the gold piles, but the orcs left behind so much useless stuff I easily got to full piety and constantly being engorged.
Before that, the run was still pretty great--early on I got a lightning rod and so many recharge scrolls that it actually ended up my best weapon by far, so I just kept blasting things with electricity and then bonking them on the head if they survived. Then I got a scroll of acquisition, wished for an actually good weapon, and got Snakebite--after which I discovered I was actually a decent fighter when I wasn't using a glorified club.
I'm thinking of switching that out for a Morningstar of Protection (which I can enchant from +4 to +9), because my AC is so piddly compared to all my dead gargoyles.
ever since I installed DCSS on windows 9, the mouse has been acting up. Sometimes it lags, and I end up casting at the spot next to the monster. Sometimes it switches so I can't use the mouse to navigate, only to attack, and screws up a bit of the keyboard commands too.

how frustrating
you should try installing the game on an OS that exists first
Whatever the problem was, a good uninstall fixed it up.
Also, I just finished a run as Troll Monk of Qazlal. I thought being a minotaur berserker was the closest you could get to being an unstoppable monster. I was wrong. And even while being a virtual god of killing, I'm pretty sure I wasn't using Qazlal to the best of his abilities
Also, that ghost is going to be a pain if I ever get back down there. At least I killed off the DD necromancer ghost from earlier.
Hill Orc Fighter of Beogh is the best idea i've ever had.
Though I've learned some important lessons. Firstly, that hordes of minions are useless in the labyrinth, and secondly, that the Orcish Mines won't bend over and worship you en masse if you go in too early, since the better the orcs, the less likely they'll be converted, and the less orcs you convert, the faster your army thins out.
though to be fair, that summoned blue devil did not help things at all
"an ice fiend...with a bolt of cold...in an ice cave...where the temperature was low...things were freezing...possibly should have tipped you off to not bring your red draconian in there...but no...that happened..."
So I've been trying out Vine Stalker Assassins as my next thing, and I died because I got super-poisoned by a swamp dragon and rather than drink one of my many potions of curing, thought "oh, I'll just switch out my current armor for my troll leather armor, I'll be regenerating so hard I'll just push through the poison!"
Finally got another ascension! This time with a MiGl of Ru, aka "counter everything in every way".
I didn't realize until the very end that the exploding leap only costs MP and exhaustion, or I would have been using it the whole time. Instead, I used it to leap out of a nest of orb guardians and finish off a shadow dragon, which was great. Probably should've used Apocalypse at some point, just for the hell of it.
The other fun thing about this run was that early on I got a fantastic unrandart +10 flail...that reduced my intelligence to 1, so I was brainless several times, the best being when I finally found a scroll of acquisition (in the crypt) and it gave me a shield with -2 int.
For my part, the farthest I've ever gotten was dying in the last level of the Vaults, but that was as a Minotaur Fighter of Makhleb, which is like one of the best possible combinations.
I was trying to do Slime Troll again, I found the entrance to the Slime Pits and there was an Oklob Plant instead of an altar
I killed the Oklob OK, but after that I just ran to the next level down of the lair and pretty much just let some monsters eat me, because it was like going on a pilgrimage only to find out there is no god

I'm at the point where I'm regaining 1HP per round.
