...my first winner after one and a half years of playing.

On sunday 27th of december 1992 it came to happen that Thor, after a long
quest through the deep and dangerous dungeons down in the mines of moria,
met the final enemy, the so called Balrog. Since he never made use of the
powerful --but wimpy-- prayer "bac-kup", he decided not to risk a frontal
attack. He called the god's for a portal away from this evil creature, to
set up a trap and to beat the hell out of this nasty critter. After setting
up lot's of rune's of protection he rested and awaited the battle to come.
After a very short rest the Balrog closed in and in an evil rage tried to
break the runes, breathed fire and trampled like mad, but Thor stayed calm,
quaffed his potions of invulnerability and tried to blast the big B away
with OOD. After restoring his mana twice and using up his last potion of
invulnerability, he threw (just for effect) his one and only mushroom of
unhealth to the evil critter. With an expression of "merry christmas" in his
face, the balrog took his last breath and fell over. 
While searching for treasure after this tiring battle, Thor noticed that
not his trusty defender sword had saved his life but only the mere luck
of carrying a medium leather shield (RF). Thus he decided to retire at once
since one error was enough in his eyes and after all he did not want to
meet one of these nice AMHD's round the next corners.
