WOOOHOOO!!!

I didn't get all the information captured, but I'll include the
highlights.   Other than not getting Greyswandir, I got very very
lucky.  At one point I think I had 6 magic lamps.  I ascended with a
light source and a backup.  I was a knight, two-weaponing Excalibur
and a silver saber, wearing GDSM, a robe, speed boots, helm of
brilliance, gauntlets of dexterity, and an amulet of reflection.  Come
to think of it, I never got a t-shirt.  I meant to.  It wasn't very
eventful except for two incidents:

The first was in the Sanctum, where something gated in Demogorgon.  It
was the first time I'd seen him and that is one nasty dude.  After
spending multiple turns trying to get rid of illness, I realized I had
a rubber chicken and wondered to myself if Demogorgon is stoning
resistant.  Thank Lugh, he isn't stoning resistant!

The second was on the Astral Plane when I ran low on HP mostly because
of Death's HP reducing attacks.  (The right altar was the third, of
course.  I went after Famine and then Pestilence, but ended up stuck
with Death.) I ended up having to pray, but that was enough to get me
through to the altar.  The combination of wands of teleport, wands of
death for Pestilence and Famine, doubled magic missile from Merlin's
Mirror, and a rubber chicken made Astral only moderately painful.

The other planes were actually pretty easy, as on air, fire and water,
something pointed the portal out to me even though I had no ?
oGoldDet.  On Earth the portal was in the first room I looked in.  I
told you I was lucky.

Here are the high points of the stats:

Four genocides:  mind flayer, master mind flayer, master lich, arch-
lich
Two challenges:  No polypiling, and no wishing for artifacts
Notable Kills:  Rodney (x6), each of the riders twice, Demogorgon
Lowest single kill: brown mold
