Long version:
Since ascending Sof I've been trying my first conduct ascension, to ascend a vegan Monk who never hit with a wielded weapon. Taltos was looking pretty handy: he had picked up a few nice bits of clothing (Hawaiian shirt, elven leather helm, low boots), had a couple of BoH and two AoRs (one from Sokoban), a blessed luckstone and had started collecting enough zorkmids to buy some protection (3 points so far, just short of the next chat to a priest).
I have never seen so many temples in one game! Taltos had managed to find one co-aligned altar, on a level with one cross-aligned altar; there were probably another six altars in the game, all of which were cross-aligned with attendant priests. Grrr! And the only shops to be found in Minetown were Izchak's (natch) and a tiny delicatessen.
I managed to learn a fair few spells - protection, healing, sleep and slow monster were all useful. Having completed Minetown and Sokoban, I'd read that the next best thing for a Monk to do is get down to the Castle before doing the Quest.
On my way down there I met a couple of beehives (wish I wasn't vegan so I could eat that royal jelly) and a little leprechaun hall. I was exploring a shop on DL20 when suddenly:
It engulfs you!
You are pummeled with debris! (etc)
Eek! An air elemental! I whacked it with slow monster and sleep a few times, while frantically casting healing on myself. Prayer worked briefly to bring my HP up, but I was pummeled again and that quickly dropped. "Quick, where's the air elemental FAQ?" Found it and managed to hurt it by casting sleep, hit it & cast healing on myself, but that used all my mana. I then managed to kill it ... but was immediately spat out and set upon by a kobold lord and a zruty.
