I Was Master Kaen's Bitch
So I get a decent Monk going. Find a pair of magic lamps in the shop level of the mines, and get the Master Key of Thievery and speed boots. Bag of holding in the mines, amulet of reflection in the Sokoban. Lots of good spellbooks, including ID. Protection, sleep, magic missile, the works.
I went down, cleared out the castle. Time for the quest, which I've heard is hard.
So right before I go downstairs to Master Kaen's, cast protection twice. AC -12, 100HP and the Master Key (which cuts damage in half), I ought to be good, right? I figure as insurance that wishing for a wand of death would also be a good idea.
Then I walk downstairs. Take one step towards Kaen and then he hits me a few times, and I'm dead. That's right, I take one step towards him, and I die.
I think I'll leave monks alone for a while, thank you.
