The long version:

Leela couldn't help but feel some trepidation as she walked gingerly towards the cavern entrance. After all, she was the hundredth of her line to brave the Dungeons of Doom, and legends told of the whole tribe that had been lost in the Dungeons before the great devastation, known as the Reinstallation, that had wiped out all records of them, leaving only hazy memories.

Taking a deep breath, Leela turned from the tribe and made her way inside.

Blinking to adjust to the dim corridors, she and her faithful dog Fang began to make their way through the rooms and corridors that faced them. Steadily Leela moved forwards, and soon she was heading downwards into further and further caverns.

A few friendly shopkeepers offered Leela some provisions to help her along her way, but she didn't have the zorkmids to pay for them.

Luckily with her trusty hound by her side, the shopkeepers found they would soon have to restock ...

Having descended to the fifth level, Leela found herself face to face with the renowned Oracle of Delphi. But this Oracle had clearly been quaffing one or two potions of hallucination, and made no sense to Leela, and so she continued downwards.

Leela found another upwards staircase, which led to some puzzling areas. A shiny amulet waited for her at the top, and she wore it with pride for the rest of her adventure.

Feeling a little thirsty, Leela quaffed a smoky potion, and promptly fell asleep! In her dream, she dreamt of a King called Arthur, and his fabled blade, and heard the voice of a man called Patch telling her that this was her destiny also. On waking, Leela returned to the Oracle - by now alone, for Fang had bitten off more than he could chew - and waved her long sword at the fountains. To her surprise, a hand emerged from the fountain and blessed the sword!

Leela returned upwards to a second staircase she'd seen earlier, and soon found herself in the Gnome King's wine cellar, to which she helped herself, along with a few baubles she found buried in the rock. Returning upwards, a friendly priest in amongst some shops suggested she should dip it into a certain potion of water, and she felt very lucky afterwards. Feeling generous, she gave some money for the temple roofing fund, and felt much better in herself for doing so!

Leela resumed her downward journey, but it seemed that Tyr had other things to do, for he had only provided one altar. Leela sacrificed many things on this altar, until finally Tyr paid attention and gave her a shiny war hammer called Mjollnir.

Feeling hungry, Leela ate a tengu, and wore a special kind of ring so that she didn't get too misplaced.

Soon Leela tripped over a stone and found herself in a different world. A nice person called the Norn told her about the evil Lord Surtur, and Leela, being a helpful soul, went to fetch the crystal ball which he had stolen. Leela noticed that he kept hitting her then disappearing, so she hurried over to the place Lord Surtur seemed to prefer, and it wasn't long before she was returning the crystal ball to the Norn, who told her she could keep it after all!

Leela carried on downwards, swiftly dealing with the evil Medusa, and soon finding herself at a large Castle. Some special boots she'd found helped her round to the back door of the castle, and she soon dealt with the dragons, soldiers and other general nasties in the area. A wand she found locked in a box gave her some wishes! Having been granted a grey dragon scale mail from sitting in a comfy chair earlier on, she suddenly now had a helpful pair of gauntlets, a magic bag for all the nice things she'd been trying to carry around with her, and some magic markers helped her to feel better about her wardrobe.

By now Leela was feeling jumpy, wide awake, healthy, amplified, very fast and very firm (not to mention very full). She'd earlier prayed to Tyr for some holy water, and Tyr was so pleased with her that she was now known as the Hand of Elbereth - whatever that was. Unimpressed, Leela decided that if Tyr was going to ignore her, she was going to ignore Tyr.

Now Leela, with some trepidation, fell through a trap door to find herself in a spooky landscape. This was the gate to Gehennom. She felt the need for some light down there - she already had a lamp which seemed never to go out, although it didn't always light first time - so she went all the way back to the town where she'd seen Izchak's little lighting shop.

Shock! Horror! Izchak only had two candles on sale! Oh well, she'd found one earlier, surely candles must be laying around all over the place.

Down she went, back into Gehennom - but quickly reading a couple of amber scrolls before she did so. Immediately she was faced with a demon called Asmodeus, and shortly after dealing with him she found herself being engulfed by a hideous monster called Juiblex. Well, a quick blast of a wand helped to deal with him, and Leela was on her way.

After only 20 levels of hell, she found herself on a square which vibrated strangely. Back upwards she headed, to the Tower of Vlad the Impaler ... which took her a very long time to find. To her surprise, it was above the strange, deserted town she'd found earlier. Anyway, she had a candelabrum now, but still only three candles to attach to it!

A day later, a passing warg had left her one more candle.

Another day passed. Leela tried blessing and rubbing her lamp, but a djinni emerged, told her "It is about time" and disappeared.

Yet another day passed. Nurses helped Leela to feel better about herself, but she still couldn't find those candles.

Finally, fed up with killing everything in sight in the vain hope that she'd find another candle, she headed up the Wizard's Tower that she'd found earlier, but hadn't dared to explore fully. It seemed that Tyr was watching her after all, as there were six candles laying on the ground...

Having checked that the candles were OK, Leela headed up the Tower to find the Wizard of Yendor, a tall, lanky man who, she thought, looked a bit of a plonker. He kept taunting her, so she zapped him with a wand, and he dropped dead, leaving a spellbook. Leela knew what she had to do now.

Down to the vibrating square she went, and did the necessary. Soon she had the famous Amulet that Tyr had sent her for, and soon after that she was back at the entrance to the Dungeons. About to leave and show off to her tribe, she checked she had everything, and found that the Wizard had stolen her crystal ball way down at the bottom of Gehennom! Oh well, too late to worry about that now, she thought, and headed up the stairs ...

... to find herself transported to the Plane of Earth. She swiftly dealt with that, the portal being just north of where she arrived. Soon enough she was in the Plane of Air, being engulfed by those nasty air elementals. Luckily there were a few other vortices where she could rest, and equally luckily she had a few potions to quaff to bring her back to full strength. She once had to ask Tyr for help when she was down to only 35 hit points, and luckily Tyr was in a good mood, and uncursed some of her possessions. After that, she tried to keep one of those potions with her at all times.

The Plane of Fire took some time to deal with. Rodney showed up, and made a pest of himself, until his pets started disappearing. Leela took back the Amulet from his steaming corpse, and jumped through. Having swum around for what seemed ages, Leela found herself on the Astral Plane. She'd heard whispers from one of her ancestors who'd made it this far once before, but never believed she'd survive to see it. Using her telepathy she first decided to head for the leftmost altar, which was guarded by Death, and the Archon Tyr had deigned to send her helped to clear the way before sadly suffering the same fate as her beloved Fang. It was not in vain, though, as this turned out to be Tyr's altar, and Leela quickly offered the Amulet to Him ...


There is an altar to Tyr (lawful) here.
You offer the Amulet of Yendor to Tyr...
An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance...
The voice of Tyr booms: "Congratulations, mortal!"
"In return for thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!"
You ascend to the status of Demigoddess...

Do you want your possessions identified? [ynq] (y)

The Excalibur patch might be "the way The Dev Team wanted it to work," but it doesn't half make the game easier for a lawful Valkyrie! Dead easy to fight vampires and wraiths, and you get to find traps too!

There were only three altars outside Gehennom - the lawful minetown altar, one lawful altar on level 8 and a neutral temple on level 10.

And yes, it took me three days to find enough candles ...

I got an amulet of life saving from Vlad's Tower, but never wore it. I don't remember ever wearing (or owning) a ring of conflict. I used my last ?oGeno on the Astral Plane, blessing it and genociding a, in the hope that the priests couldn't surround me with anything. Oh well, they summoned snakes instead ...

No screenshot as I play the X11 port. I use the mines patch, but didn't get the new levels this time.
