Here's your shovel And your amulet The kobold in front of you You may want to hit. Your Long Sword 'Anduril', Your brass lantern shine Take your Phial And your Ring of Speed (+9)!
(If you're wondering what brought this up, it's a Spectre Warrior-Mage (Life) stuck at 700' with a quest for 11 Death Drakes...)
Oh, yeah...17 Lesser Titans at 1200' wasn't fun, nor was the 13 Dreadlords at 700'. Fortunately you tend to be ludicrously overleveled for your dungeon depth. Unfortunately it rarely helps. -ChainMaille

Activate Red Dragon Scale Mail... and, well, I didn't realize it was going to do _that_ much damage...
At one point on rec.games.roguelike.angband, someone asked Ben Harrison why secret doors were never locked, to which he replied "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." Something similar probably applies to depth_in_feet.
Okay. Ditto.
My turn: Momar's 3rd *decent* incarcarnation. I've limited myself to 6.5 skills, which should be both sufficient and lead to a good score. Swords, Wrestling, Bows, Burglary, Spell Resistance, Armor Forging, and Magic Devices (capped at 50 due to oath of iron). I wonder if I'll finish in under 3M turns. I doubt it.
