 4 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 26 killed the bastard and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

I decided my class with a die roll. Going Marine, the only decision was which order to take Iro/TaN.

The Chained Court is very tough in AoSh with weakened berserk.  I knocked some of the Barons into the lava, but couldn't get the AM into a good position.  I ended up using 2 large medpacks and 3 or 4 small ones. Two berserks were taken at the start (wore off right after killing the AM, at 13% health) and one before the final enemy (a Baron).

I skipped level 10 as it was an Arachnotron Cave, and I didn't feel anything good would come of it (still took a fair bit of damage while running to the exit).  However, it appears that that was the level Hell's Armory was on.  Whoops.  Also, level 9 was my previous best in 0.994, with 11, 12, and 19 in previous versions.

I missed at least one enemy on level 14 with the armed nuke, probably an imp.  that made me feel better about skipping 10.

Hellgate did not go so well either - I had a shockwave pack, and tried to release a Vile but failed.  I ended up moving northwest after the walls came down, past the Vile, into a little alcove where I had some cover.

I had two very close calls: ending up at 1% after a mancubus / vile surprise party; moving onto an invulnerability next to a lava barrel while running from VVRRR and getting the next action to pick it up (I had 150% health and Malek's at that point, so I think I was safe anyway, but it sure made the level easier).  One other Hell level I only cleared half of (a Maze, Hell 7 I think as the Mortuary was there), after dealing with a chest of Barons and some vile packs I thought it was getting out of hand.  judging by the kill count, there can't have been much left so I guess I should have stayed.

a Pain Elemental Cave (Hell 8, I think) was a bit fun - I started in view of 5 or 6 of them, so they were breeding very fast.  I moved onto a supercharge, then accidentally moved off without picking it up - took many turns before I could keep that space free of souls.  Each blast of the double shotgun was clearing 20-30 of them, very satisfying.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go for the full win and risk Shottyman Gold, but finding invulnerability on Hell 9 gave me a safe option, with my homing phase.  with the Marine bonus, that actually lasted as I walked halfway across Phobos Arena to the stairs, and almost to the 'i' in HF, so I wouldn't even have needed the lava element.  JC was being silly, as discussed elsewhere.  Backing away from him to recharge Malek's wasn't that great of an idea, he and the lost souls kept on hitting me and it took a very long time to get him back in view.  I also completely forgot to use my envirosuits.

I had a lot of shell packs (unloaded one and a half), but usually used the shottyman reload instead.  still, no reason not to keep one there for heavy firing - especially with the double, that was very useful in a few places.

I really wanted to make fireproof acid-proof boots :). but no tech mods appeared other than the two for my shotguns.

One really scary moment (in a literal sense, it wasn't actually dangerous in-game): an arch-vile rocketjumping (with Revenant assistance) to appear right next to me.  He died from the blast, but it was really shocking.
