Holy cow! Since behiker57w posted a 9142-turn game, and only beat my
speed game by 90 or so turns, I was casually trying to post a better

turns. OMG!

Minetown bones file had an ascention kit. :)

OK, I have finally picked my jaw back up again after seeing that
number of turns for an ascenesion.

Now I want to know: what the heck was in Minetown that was able to
kill off at least one well-equiped adventurer and two others?

My guess: a chameleon posing as a Minotaur. That's what ended one game
of mine. (And nearly a second when it left a bones file.)

(A second guess is the imfamous gnome with a death wand, but I would
have expected a well-equiped adventurer to have reflection or magic
resistance.)
