I beat the old Crawl several times back in my university days, with a
Hill Dwarf Healer, Minotaur Chaos Knight and a Centaur Hunter...
possibly one other combo, I can't remember. This, however, has been my
first win in Stone Soup, and I was using a Mountain Dwarf Fighter. I
very nearly died at the end, as I got a little overconfident on Zot:5
and ended up very low on HP twice - first, fighting a couple of Orb
Guardians that had been berserked by a Moth of Wrath, then by a swarm
of 1's gated in by an ancient lich.

My main reason for posting is to show off the character's equipment.
I've never seen so many great artifact rings in a single game before!
Any one of them would have been a great find in a normal game... as it
was, I did a lot of switching back and forth with them, though for
most of Zot, I kept the combo I was wearing here, which gave me full
fire resistance, double cold, plus all the other critical resists. I
had to sacrifice damage output for that, though... using Traonn and
Zolutwed earlier on, I was really hitting hard.

Never did find a better weapon than my close-to-maximally-enchanted
broad axe of chopping though. It was very late in the game that I got
a decent artifact armor, too... up till then, I'd been wearing a +7
plate mail of magic resistance.

Anyway... glad I won. Would have been very embarrassing to fail to win
with that equipment!
