First Ascension!
First Ascension Finally after 30 odd years of playing Nethack I have succeeded in ascending. I had a very lucky run. I found 5 magic lamps, 6 wands of death, and 7 magic markers. I didn't use all wishes, didn't use all WoDeath, and didn't use all the markers.
I had a really easy run up the dungeon. Only got hit by the mysterious force once. Dealt with the Wizard a few times but the WoDeath made short work of him. I encouraged him to leave the dungeon at level 1.
Planes were relatively straight forward though I did forget to put my BoH back into the oilskin sack on the plane of water. That almost did in my various health potions but I realised what had happened and rescued them. This was fortunate as Pestilence was a complete pain when I reached the Astral Plane.
Death was surprising easy, I thought. I just whacked it a couple times and it died. Repeated twice. Same with Famine. I don't recall meeting War but there was a lot going on.
I had to visit all three altars. It's quite a task beating a path between them. Only had one Wand of teleportation so it really was a slog.
But I got there!
