Well, I think I'm fully addicted to NetHack again. Thanks @Arda

Every game in which I live long enough to press S is a success to me.

3 altars on one level? They are usually so scarce!

what would be funny is if none matched your alignment
that's what I expect from nethack

Actually, 2/3rds of them do.

The game I started yesterday, I didn't see an aligned altar until I hit a temple on level 15

This is useful because it gives me a chance to get Magicbane, now that my prayer timeout is 0.
Of course I need to find monsters that drop corpses first.

mmm
yeah, if you're not stocked up on food, waiting for fresh spawns can be a real pain
I was lucky enough to find a ring of slow digestion in the gnomish mines yesterday. I ended up having to take the ring off for a little while just so I wasn't satiated when I found corpses with intrinsics. Best. Ring. Ever.
Do either of you have experience with Fort Ludios? How likely am I to regret going in there if I don't have magic resistance? [†: I have experience, @sjohnston. Magic Resistance isn't the most important thing to have for it, but it helps.]

@Grace Thanks. I'm basically just hanging out at this point, trying to get two levels to start the quest. It would be a lot faster to get them in Ludios, and the pile of gold would let me buy more protection. I just don't want to YASD because I jumped in there unprepared. [†: I'd normally suggest heading in the direction of the Castle, but at that point you're having to deal with the same threats as in Ludios. I hope you have good protection against dragons.]
Also, I have a ring of conflict, so maybe that would make it easier? It made the sokoban zoo pretty hilarious [†: Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't conflict... well... conflict with your intention of actually gaining experience?]
@Grace Define "good protection against dragons" [†: I mean equipment and extrinsics that would be handy dandy to have when facing any sort of dragon. Dragons don't really care about your Magic Resistance, and likewise nor will most of the soldiers at Ludios. This is, assuming of course, that you have fought dragons and thus know what dangers they present.]
@Grace - Ah, true about the ring. I could pick stuff off while they massacre, but that might not be enough.
