The answer was F) None of above.

So, it was YASD. Here's how it unfolded.

First I emptied all the fountains. No wish.

Then, headed back to Ludious. First thing I encountered was a blue
dragon, who promptly blew up WoDeath, WoDigging, WoTurnUndead, and
WoFire. I for some reason blue dragon used the frost breath :p I did
manage to finish him off though. After those minor setback, I did
finish all the stuff inside Ludios. The throne didn't yield a wish,
but the silver dragon did leave a set of scales, and I decided that was
much better than yellow scale mails, so I made a SDSM. Still no MR,
but at least this will protect me from my wands getting blown up in the
future. Also found a =olevitation so I can now get to the castle and
back. Went through many helmets and boots (I had SDSM, Gaunts of
Power, and Cloak of Protection to round out the my sorry armor
situation) and found +3 high boots and +5 helmet. My AC is now -22.
Pretty good, considering, and I now owned a magic marker when I decide
to really push the AC down.

Quick check of my exps reveals that it's at 70K. 3/4 of way done
through lvl 13. I figure if I go through the castle I'll be ready for
the Quest, so I decided to go down to the Castle and go for WoW there.


I knew there was a MMF at the bottom of the stairs at Medusa's from the
one summon storm the Titan got in first time I was there, so I dropped
down from the level above using WoDigging. If I drop in a bad place,
I'll drop down one more time, but I'd rather not if I couldn't get all
of my pets with me, especially Brrrrp the purple wurm and Cthulu the
MMF (my own pet) didn't come with me. I do like them, especially the
purple wurm.

Luckily, drop set me at the opposite side of the same room from the
titan, and my pets starts to wipe out the floor. Then, the beginning
of the end of my army, and thus the end my rogue began. I hear the
burping sound, and saw the message that 'it becomes a green slime'. I
figured the Brrrrp accidentally ate a green slime and became a green
slime himself. Very bad. Green slime is one of the worst pet one can
have :( With the ring of warning on, I started machinegun the Titan
from far away. Titan decided he *really* loves his WoMM, and I laugh
at him with the silver dragon scale mails. After the titan is dead, I
carefully start to move out into the sea. With the ring of warning and
Cthulu the MMF, who loves the electric eel brains, I manage to wipe out
all the sea creatures, and levitate across the underground sea, and
finish off the Medusa when she run into her own visage on the SDSM I
was wearing.

I left Brrrrp the green slime behind, and went down into the maze with
the MMF and Iron Golem. I like having pets around whenever I play, not
only they contribute and kill monsters, but also the fact that I tend
to them makes me play a little more carefully. I have to watch out for
things like cameleons and such, and I never have to deal with peaceful
monsters. Also it's nice to have them around for extra protection
against the traps. I then start to explore the maze, and felt sad for
a moment. I whisled my pets in and I only see Iron Golem, so Cthulu
must have bit it. I found what appears to be Cthulu's equipment
(longsword, burned mummy wrapping, leather armor, etcs) and a blue
jellies. He must have tried to lick the jellies and frozen to death.
He must not have seen the "Christmas Story" when he was little! Don't
lick the frozen flagpoles when your friends triple-dares you to, kids.


Now, with only Iron Golem as a pet (His name is Iron...how original).
I am quickly losing the patients, especially in the maze. You could
see the Stupid Death coming from miles away. Now I'm wondering around,
pretty much alone, and I see a monster from =oWarning. I take a step
that way, and....I feel the change coming. I rip out of my rotten
cloak of protection (the best cloak I've manage to find this game
:/...very poor armor selection this game). Now I'm a Silver Dragon.
Yay. I decided it'd be fun to claw and bite the Nazgal and started to
thump on him and I see the message 'Good Bye lvl 13'. Hmmmm? I never
realized they level drained...Never had that happen against them. Gah,
I was getting close to lvl 14 and now I have to start over from the
beginning of lvl 13 :|.

Now I'm running around the maze really carelessly.

Then it comes. I am wondering around the maze. Warning shows a '1'
monster. No problem for a Silver dragon. Hah.

I attack...and I realize it's a 'c'

Arrrrrggggghhhhh, I didn't mean to do that. So, in some ways, the lack
of MR did make a difference. The cockatrice wouldn't have killed me if
I hadn't been a dragon :|. In fact, I'd probably have regained the
army of pets by picking up the Green Slime back, and used the poly trap
to get a cool pet or two.

So, do you make a Bone file on the maze below the Medusa and above the
Castle? Watch out for the statue of kremti the Silver Dragon and his
pet Iron, the Iron Golem...
