...or whatever it's called.

I know this will be utterly unimpressive to most players, but my rash
impatience had prevented it from happening so far.

I got a pet balrog early on, festively dubbed Baby Jesus, which happily slew
everything in Minetown, so I sat there sacrificing or eating whatever came
along until I had collected quite a set of -banes (I only really needed
Maggie, being a wizard) and got some intrinsics. When my wrist started
hurting, I visited the bottom of the mines just for the hell of it (no pun
inten-- wait, that doesn't work anyway) and found a load of nice gems. Also,
an unexpected wand of wishing got me SDSM and speed boots.

Baby Jesus stopped being tame when I left him in a lower level of Sokoban
for a bit (he kept getting in the way), so after getting the amulet of
reflection (useless at this point) I had to tiptoe past him with a sob and a
goodbye.
