OK, I'm now working with Bard the Barbarian (I'm using Hex counting, his younger brothers will be Bare and Barf). Went down to the mines, and found a magic lamp. Boom, Grey Dragon Scale Mail. Also found speed boots in the mines, and a +3 Dwarvish Helm. So I'm bouncing around with an AC of -8. Then I went through and got the amulet of reflection from the Sokoban. A throne room got a wish which turned into a blessed bag of holding, and a second throne room wish turned into three blessed scrolls of genocide. Good bye R's, h's and ;'s. I next need to find forms of levitation and teleport control. But I'm pretty far from the castle, so there's plenty of time to find stuff.
Well, that Barbarian ended poorly. I was cruising except for one thing, my two-handed sword was extra rusty. I found a new sword, and weilded that. Uh oh, cursed! OK, drop all of my stuff and dip it into a fountain until it is uncursed. Whoops, the fountain overflows, and my big pile of cool stuff disappears. No big problem, I'll just drop a rock in the pool, and in theory I'll dig my stuff out. Problem. I'm wearing two rings, and since I've got cursed two-handed sword, I can't get them off. So I'm burning through food, and my food supply has been disappeared under a pool of water. Start looking for something to kill. Starve to death.
D'oh. :(
