-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 33 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 30 of those were killed.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This run was so incredibly vanilla that I was afraid. Afraid I would not have the ubertech needed to plunge all the way into Hell's aorta (not quite the heart, after all) and kill the Cyberdemon. On the plus side, it kept me from getting cocky, thinking I could just mow everything down.

The only thing of note that dropped was armor and large medpacks. In both cases, at one point I found myself laden with 7 or 8 and weeping at having to leave one behind. Hardly any mods, one exotic besides the chainsaw (assault shotgun), no uniques until very late. I had barely enough for my speedloaders.

At the Hellgate, I had four homing phases... and got into a sticky spot with the Bruisers. It took all four to get out of line of sight, and the first three took me towards a wall, then towards the bruisers, then towards the same wall, nowhere near potential safety. The fourth at least dropped me near the exit.

The level before the Hell Staff (aww, not the Heretic weapon?), I think, was an Arachnotron cave. Three in LoS, another approached as I dove for cover, and a friend joined him when I decided one in LoS while searching for a chokepoint was better than three.

What choice did I have? I ran... And of course, by the time I reached the stairs they were all shooting me. "But Ander, however did you survive the flight?" I had entered with a Supercharge. 8)

In the middle of Hell, I almost ran out of ammo - oh, dear. Then a couple of captains spawned and set me up for the rest of the run.

And somehow I made it to Hell B9. A unique had spawned, but I had Gun Kata; I didn't care. I wouldn't have made it without three envirosuits and SoaG3 to blow away Barons; the only safe paths were blocked by lava. And by 'safe path' I mean 'not a huge room with a Mancubus in it'. He was probably camping the unique.

The Cyberdemon was about as easy as you'd expect with four stacks of 10mm and Dodgemaster. I only didn't get his head because DERP DERP I'M STUPID and just wanted to get it over with. I considered taking it to his Boss (I'm pretty sure I know how to get the 'invitation') but I just didn't have the hardware, and the obvious course of action would have left a bitter taste.

I won. By running away a lot, picking my battles, getting damn lucky staring down one of those Revenants, and finding a few well-placed invuls, I made it to the Cyberdemon and filled him with bullets.

Here I stand victorious. A short-time lurker who came back to DoomRL when it updated out of nowhere this winter and resolved not to register and post anything until finally beating the game. I'm glad to meet you all - you seem like quite a nicer community than I'm used to - and look forward to both future DoomRL updates and piling up the mortems in my newly-unlocked Ao100.

Okay, I have to admit, this is the first mortem dump which has emotionally moved me by the end of it. Nice win, and very nice storytelling. :)
