30 adventures to end the war and reach level 13.
Trivial questing...and then the tower:
Tyrannosaurus Tex - 1
Beer Batter - 1
malevolent crop circle - 1
possessed pipe-organ - 3 (pick-pocketed it!)
concert pianist - 2 (lucky 2nd zap)
Enraged Cow - 1
The rest was trivial, using fire-poi, sugar shorts, and sombrero.
Run summary: HCO Disco Bandit, 16 days, 1070 adventures
Now a bit of aftercore and preparation for the contest.
Trivial
Almost good
Luck was on my side today. I have found the holy MacGuffin and the island war is in progress. I managed to do all the side-quests up to the nunnery. That leaves ~30 adventures to end the war. I need 1600 substats to reach level 13 - that is no big problem. I will not need my stock of 16 clovers and 2 dance cards. I seem to be a pack rat.

If I did not made stupid mistakes, I might have finished today.
Plus half a day
Half day. That's the price for going after guy made of bees in birdform.
Currently, I am in the pyramid, looking for the wooden wheel. Concert advertising is done.

Too lame
I have been making stupid mistakes today and let myself beat up 3 times.
I collected all the needed stars, got Staff of Fats and started the island war.

It is a chore
The MacGuffin quest I mean. I am half way there, and expect it is going to take 2 more days, then 3 more days the island war and 1 day the sorceress and hole in the sky. I hope.
My first visit to the daily dungeon - I broke 3 of my 4 keys. And I got Boris's ring.
Llama dropped only 2 gongs.

The long quests
I opened the way to Lord Spookyraven, got access to the Palindome and I am currenlty looking for the worm riding manual. I guess it will take 2 more days to find the holy MacGuffin.
With the missed inhaled yesterday, I am considering skipping the nuns.

My fault
I missed my semi-rare in the castle - most likely while I was swimming in the superfluous fountain.
I have collected bounty in the valley and got 2 31137 scrolls. 18 clovers so far - that seems enough.
I am still missing giant needle.
No daily dungeons keys so far.

Slowdown
Progress was slow today. At lest llama gave me 4 gongs.
I collected immateria and SOCK and also my first filthy lucre. Then I did not go into the castle - I'll wait for my semi-rare window. Instead I collected the antique mirror and said guy made of bees 4 times. And then headed back to the ballroom.

The keys! I skipped them because the NO calendar was not working today.
Is it sleeping?
Baaaad llama. Only 2 gongs, again.
I opened and cleaned the F'c'le, got another 31337 scroll and 2+2 total clovers. Then I went back to ballroom an collected 2 dance cards.
I reached level 10 when I was out of adventures, thanks to BRICKO monsters.
I bought a field and started planting to get some black mushrooms.
I am actually considering going to bathroom and preparing GMoB. The pollen would be handy and it will allow me to do as much quest stuff as soon as possible.

The daily dungeon is overdue. No keys yet.
Lazy llama
I only got 2 gongs from my lazy llama today. Bad llama.
Other than that, I obtained the wand, the swashbuckling outfit, 5 insults and did the L9 quest. I had to use 2 clovers to reach level 9 in time to adventure in the valley in the semi-rare window.
I made a hipposkin poncho using Inigo's today.

I shall start planting mushrooms tomorrow.
Just another day
So, I mined asbestos ore and luckily got semi-rare when opening the goatlet. Then the goats. Llama gave the usual 3 gongs.
The island is finally accessible and I zapped a hippy jeweler and made a Bonerdagon necklace.
While hacking pirates, I got 2 pants and headed into the >. More tomorrow.

I have 11 disassembled clovers. Ouch.
Steady pace
I managed to finish friars and cyrpt today. When I reached level 8, I zapped a miner and mined for a while. Trapper wants asbestos and that I did not found.
I have skipped spleen of steel.
2 more trips to get the price.

Extra long frying
I still have not finished the friar quest - one item is missing. Though I did set the ballroom song and did 2nd shore trip. Lousy progress.

Bad luck is back
I did the second guild challenge, built a meat car and did one shore trip today. Then I obtained the book from tower ruins and built a meat maid.
I have killed the Goblin king and got its cape. I reached level 6 and tried the gate, but after spending over 20 adventures there, I did not found any items. I also visited the library, but no luck encountering noncombat adventures there as well.
I have finished the digital key. I used llama 90% of time, getting 4 gongs. The He-Boulder got me KGE.

More or less OK
I have finished the boss bat (->bling) and zapped a harem girl. Llama was kind of slow today.
I got the key from the cemerety, but then I forgot about it. That is a shame, because a meat maid would be handy - tomorrow then.
I decided not to go to the cola battlefield just yet and maybe never and collected ~20 pixels and opened haunted library.

Starting stupidly
After spending long time in aftercore obtaining VIP key, I finally ascended. Into HCO. As a Disco Bandit - and I forgot my good karma :-(. +1 day for me.
I used my new lama almost the whole day and after spending my 40 adventures I was 5 substats from level 4. So I bought 3 moxie weeds in the mall - I should have joined my guild instead.
I managed to open spookyraven, get encryption key, obtain mosquito, clear the tavern cellar and find 3 sonars. I also got 2 clovers.
I obtained and used 2 feathers and I have 1 spare gong waiting.
