With the aid of some substantial hardware, I was able to win at 7.0.
	+3 Padded Armor: (non-rusting class-6) ( I enchanted it to class 2)
     +2,+2 Two-Handed Sword
	 6 Scare Monster scrolls
	+3 Ring of protection
	   Ring of sustain ability

Given an effective armor class of -1, and the other stuff I found, I
still needed a certain amount of dumb luck to win.

Some of the deeper-level monsters are fairly nasty, bone devils in
particular.  "Sting has no effect" is a very comforting message; I
suspect that the ring of sustain ability was significantly more
useful than the  ring of fire protection I had, even though green
dragons are no wimps.  Titanotheres (sp?) can do a lot of damage,
but they tended to leave me alone.

Some documentation would have been nice;  it's kind of boring
fighting a lower-case letter when you don't have a feel for what it
is.  Green dragons are understandable, and imps and bone devils
rapidly tell you something about themselves, but "lichterlon" and
"xonoclon" are names that don't tell me anything.  Is there some
reason that Red dragons always carry things, but green dragons and
pseudo-dragons don't?

The Amulet didn't show up until level 31, even though I searched
most of the levels from 23 on completely.  Having found it, and
escaped, I guess it's time to retire to hacking.
