Welcome to my Let's Play of Nethack. I'm not going to actually win, as you probably know, due to the tremendous difficulty of Nethack, but I will play multiple games with varying degrees of success. As I do so, I will take screenshots and write a story for our unfortunately soon-to-be-dead character.
So, welcome to the dungeon.
You are Escanton, a young Orcish Barbarian in his prime of life. You have spent most of your life feeling as if you had some greater purpose; as if you just weren't doing the right thing. So, you began to ask around about much more interesting things to do than busting up and pillaging villages.
By word-of-mouth, you heard of a mysterious Amulet, within a mysterious dungeon. This amulet is called the Amulet of Yendor, and nearly everything about it is shrouded in mystery. Some say it is a worthless trinket from the olden times; some say it will bestow upon you mighty magics with which you can rule the world; and some say that when it is found, the gods themselves will bow to the one who found it; presenting to them the gift of immortality, riches, and great power.
The only thing that you know is true about it is that it exists, it is at the bottom of a great dungeon, and you want it.
After spending a few days preparing for this great journey, you embarked early one morning, climbing down into the dungeon wherein it allegedly exists. You don't have much food, any great weapons, nor any powerful armor, but you are determined to either get this mysterious artifact, or die trying.

Updates coming soon, and hopefully often. If this character dies, I will, of course, make a new one and start a new story/adventure. I'm still unsure of whether I will be writing this in a first-person 'adventure log' sort of style, in a third-person style, or continuing with the second person that I have going on here. Maybe comment on it some and tell me what you'd like to read most?
