Anyone interested in playing beyond the Portal? I could set up a char that should be capable of a High Priest win and Post a savefile just before he enters the portal, laden with goodies. Then you can see how far you get.

That could be fun. I'd give it a shot.

Course, I fully expect to die horribly within 30 seconds of starting, but it'd be fun.

Damn, I got careless and got killed by an orc. Was up to 41 dex, and 37 Astr but only had 98 HP. It wil probaby be a while before I have time to train another character.

Can I try this or is it only for those who have beaten the game? I have never been further than in GC 7 so I would like to see what it looks like later. I know it would be probably possible with wizardmode, but I think it takes all the fun out of game.

This is open for anyone to try. Hint - if you see an elder dark mage teleport to him instantly and either kill or tame him.

It was fun to try, but I didn't get far:
156790 Petzl, kamikazed by a veteran kamikaze dwarf of scabies in gloomy cave level 12
Description:
Well, first level after portal wasn't that bad, but it was mainly because Petzl had huge stats. I bet it took many hours to make it and I killed the character in less than two hours. Problems started in second level after portal. There was this room full of mages and those damn mystic dark frogs. I teleported in there, but most of the wands broke (was there acid rain wand in other box?). I polymorphed into an orc general and after that most of my stuff teleported away, so I had to go hunt them back. When I finally found Justifier again (one of the zombies had equipped it) I started to kill all the mages and mystic dark frogs. After I had cleaned most of this cave level I had only one wand of teleportation. I had used already two life savings and I polymorphed back into my normal form. I found one scroll of wishing and wished another life saving. After that I moved into a third level after portal and this level started to be too much for me. I died before with some dwarfs and last death was when I teleported into one of the rooms and tried to tame mages. I got only one mage on my side and soon after that my ring of invisibility and and amulet of ESP dissapeared. I equipped another amulet of ESP just to see veteran kamikaze dwarf of Scapies exploding near me...
I hope others will get further, but it was nice to see some new levels.

Well you did pretty well getting to GC 12. just one more level and you would have met Oree the Blood Daemon King
