(Not the cat…)
I just beat Angband with a warrior. And it’s the first time in years I have accomplished this. The last few hours (thousand or so levels) were a massive chore – rapid descents followed by farming of giant/dragon vaults for artifacts. I got very lucky with some drops though, even if I never saw any decent artifact rings, +speed boots or Ringil.
In the end I swapped out a helm that aggravated enemies but gave me an extra attack for the crown (for the stats mostly). I also lucked out with a Morgoth spawn in a relatively empty part of the dungeon. For all his power, he could barely damage me…
Here’s the character dump in image form (approx 700×3500):

(By the way, if this post means nothing to you don't worry...)
You’ve convinced me to start playing Angband again…
Mission accomplished 🙂
