I found this lawful male human Knight at the start of the mines (DL4).
No item discoveries, or much else of significance. I fell through a
trapdoor on level 4, and worked my way back up, so mostly I just
explored a few levels. I left off standing on the downstairs of DL6.

Some warnings to note:

- I ran away from a mob of hill orcs on DL5. I slayed a couple, but the
others are just a little ways around the corner.

- There's a gnome lord packing a wand of magic missile on DL4. I
engraved a warning on the upstairs below for the whoever gets past the
orcish mob.

- I broke the lance and exhausted the supply of darts. We've just the
long sword.

Special thanks to 'goliath' who was watching my play for helpfully
reminding me that Knights can #jump.

I just picked up that game. Went down to Minetown and cleaned out the
general store by credit cloning while my Horse With No Name relieved a
few dwarves of their lives, as well as their armor. Bought protection
and got four points with one donation--woo hoo! AC now at -8.

Minetown altar is neutral.

I'd suggest *not* killing the general store proprietor. He'll only be
useful for price ID'ing; he has no money left, and SquareRobin has more
than enough credit to buy whatever is left in the store, although he's
already burdened when dismounted. Making a stash would be a good idea,
although I haven't found a container to put stuff in.

Up to turn 6001. Back in main dungeon. Someone found speed boots (woo
hoo!) so AC back down to -6, but Very Fast. Credit cloned out large
general store on dlvl 3; money is in sack. Almost enough to donate
again; not quite. Standing on upstairs of dlvl 4; I can see there's
another store there, but haven't explored it. Also identified wands of
teleport and cancellation.

Left a small stash in Minetown, in a room 29 spaces directly east of the
upstairs. This guy's doing pretty well. I'd suggest going down to
Sokoban now. Need to get some holy water. Scrolls of ID already
identified; need to use these or have a price-id expert work out what
some of the scrolls and potions are.

Found the character to be a Valkyrie at T:1000. Found a general store
on Dlvl 2, cleaned it out of everything useful, netting a horn of
plenty. Advanced to EXP 5, tried to dip for excal and failed twice
(eep). Trying to read an uncursed spellbook blinded me outside a
general store on Dlvl 3. The magic whistle should make it a snap for
anyone to clean out the store properly.
