Let's Play ADOM, Take 1
I'm going to alternate this with Mother 3!
The idea is this:
I am going to do a Let's Play of the roguelike "Ancient Domains of Mystery." I will die many times in it. But, the special thing is...
...you, the viewers, decide how!
Let's begin!
The rules of the game are as follows:
-At certain times over the course of the game, there will be multiple choices as to what to do.
-I'll make one comment to this post myself, starting an epic giant thread.
-At each branch, YOU post which choice you want me to take.
-I will respond with a chain of comments chronicling my further adventures, until we come to the next branch.
-Rinse, lather, repeat.
-If multiple people suggest things, I'll pick one at my whim.
All right, time to build a character!
Month of the Sword! A fantastic birth star for characters of the cutty, stabby persuasion.
And this is where the choiciness begins...

What a moving backstory!

Look at all those traits!
There are far too many of these to ask you guys to pick. So, I'll go with Quick.

And we're off!
Let's take a look at what we've got...

All items in the game can be cursed, uncursed, or blessed. Cursed things are bad and you can't unequip them without decursing them. I'm a priest, so I inherently know the cursed/blessedness of items.
I'm also a troll, so I have fur and a club.

Here's my inventory!
The only spellbook I got was Divine Key, which can magically unlock doors. How shitty.
CHOICE
Now, from here, I have a number of options:
a) Head to Terinyo, the newbie starting town
b) Head to the Outlaw Settlement
c) Head to the Small Cave
d) Head south, to dangerous places
...
WILDERNESS ENCOUNTERS are the Random Encounters of ADOM. They only happen on the world map, where I am now. I seem to have run into some outlaws.
CHOICE
b) Run away
I declare you Urzu3 because I was logged in to this journal.
...
Since I don't have any spells learned yet, and since I'm a troll, the strategy for fighting these guys is pretty simple: Approach outlaw, apply club.
...
Weirdly enough, only four outlaws! Normally bands are larger.
My spoils are one uncursed hat [+0, +0]
DV/PV explanation:
Armor is usually associated with two numbers in square brackets, as shown above. The left number is DV, which reduces your chance to get hit by stuff. The right number is PV, which reduces the damage of attacks that DO hit. Either way, even 0/0 items have their uses, so I equip it. Besides, hat.

Those of you who were in the chat when I test-drove this idea will know of this place: I'm in the Infinite Dungeon. Before going any further, let me tell you some things about this place.
-Only simple, early-game enemies appear in this dungeon.
-The enemies, however, will increase in level as the dungeon goes on.
-There are an infinite number of floors.
-There is nothing down here.
