20 adventures in the ballroom, a new sugar shield and the fight was extremely easy. The Naughty Sorceress only took away 1/3 of my HP and I spent 2/3 of my MP. Block rate was minimal - unlike yesterday.

Kruger, the Misshapen Animal Skeleton with sugar shield
Total length: 9 days; 1351 adventures; I am ashamed, but I should have been able to ascend yesterday. Those 20 extra turns and one sugar shield could were manageable.
This was my first run with Vent Rage Gland and I did not find the right place to use it. The MP cost seems high in the beginning and the damage low in the end. Maybe if I fought the baron...
Anyway, let's do a bounty hunt, then tame some turtles, and finally explore the slime tube for the first time.
While taming sleeping wereturtles, I got lucky and heard the demon name, it is: Gambaal Gazka. He should be helping me with the nun quest from now on.
I am perming Armorcraftiness.
Back to being a Pastamancer, my favorite class. Then, I realized I did not get the reward from mayor Zapruder. 50000 meat lost.
I managed to reaching level 4 in time - I had to eat one boring spaghetti and drink one bottle of cooking sherry, but then the gourd potion and one stat item saved me. I found the Fernwarthy grave and adventures on the battlefield until level 5, then I did a quick trip to the knob goblin kitchen and harem, but the area was a bit tough and I retreated back to the spooky forest, looking for the temple (but found nothing). At least I collected one bottle of used blood and I'll be building Staff of Blood and Pudding tomorrow.

Up and down
Meat sink
Finishing the war took all my initial adventures and all adventures from food.
The gates were troubling, because I needed adder bladder. Nearly 20 adventures lost. I had to gamble with the DoD potions, but luckily I avoided the drunkenness giving one.
The tower:
best-selling novelist - 1 adv
Big Meat Golem - 1 adv
Bowling Cricket - 3 advs
Electron Submarine - 1 adv
the darkness - 1 adv
collapsed mineshaft golem - 1 adv
Lost 3 times to the sorceress and then prepared for the final fight. Well, both my sugar shield and my sugar shorts broke after defeating the first form. So, I had to run away. I only have a single sugar sheet left.
I tried again and lost to the second form (wasting my 2 red pixel potions). Now I am without any HP restorers. I guess, I will not beat her today. And I did not. I tried once more, tt was close, but in the end, she beat me. If she blocked less of my tries, the end could have been different. Tomorrow then.

Preparing for war
Today, I did the holy MacGuffin quest. My luck was average, sometimes thing came slowly, sometimes fast.
Then I started the hippy war and did the arena quest flyering monsters in the hole in the sky, 8-bit realm and pyramid. The fights were hard, but I was losing a lot of HP and meat. Wereseal blood and clocks were frequently needed. I guess, I'll have to perm a healing skill soon.
I also started to adventure in the junkyard and collected one tool.

I guess, I'll be able to ascend tomorrow without big problems:
9 adv - junkyard
17 adv - battlefield
16 adv - orchard
16 adv - battlefield
25 adv - nuns
50 adv - battlefield & end of war
And then the tower...
Good enough
After finishing the level 10 quest and getting the quantum egg, I leveled up and started the holy MacGuffing quest.
I found the black market, did the shore trip and opened manor cellar. Wines came quickly with the friar blessing. I dealt with Lord Spookyraven (and used a potion, but it was no necessary - he fumbled). Then I spent 10 adventures getting a goat milk. Not sure it that was worth it.
After that I found the hidden temple and the city and then I finished collecting insults and adventuring in the bar.
I also managed to collect a bounty in the airship.
Since I only had a single goat milk, I stopped adventuring and saved all the adventures gained from food for tomorrow (with the Got milk effect active).
I zapped dehydrated caviar into a black pepper. I bet it will not be needed this run.

I guess ascending in 2 days is a realistic plan. I would be great if I did it in 1, but I do not believe that will happen. I have 95 saved adventures, but I still need the digital and star keys, and do most of the L11 quest.
Just another day
I made the final vacation and built a boat. Working on the pirate outfit, I got 2 eyepatches and pants, but no parrot. Zapping? To get the wand, I needed money.
So I went after the bonerdagon and then in the dungeon of doom. I got the wand soon, but there are other candidates for the zaps. Like the Hippy outfit...
Getting Hippy outfit was actually super fast - just 2 adventures in the Hippy camp with Smooth movements and I got the 2 pieces from 2 noncombat adventures. Still, I rather zapped the Jarlsberg earring from yesterday (-> Boris key) and continued adventuring in the cove.
Then I did the LOL quest, spending my semi-rare and started collecting insults.
Reaching level 10, I planted the bean and adventures in the airship and in the castle, using twinkly wads, hair sprays and ben-gal balms. I managed to collect a bounty there.
2nd trip to daily dungeon and I got the Sneaky Pete key.

I still need a couple of adventures to turn the wheel 2 times, find the hidden temple and then it is leveling up and doing macguffin.
I wonder whether I manage to finish in 3 days.
Louvre visit
I have opened the gallery yesterday, but I only managed to adventure there today. And the stats were not bad. I have collected yesterday's bounty there and then I moved on. It was pretty costly - I had to use wereseal blood to survive there.
Other accomplished tasks include discovery of the Dungeons of Doom, slaying of the goblin king, mining and goat cheese collecting (only a single glass of goat milk :-() and doing 4 shore vacations.

My biggest problem is meat, I do not have enough for the cloak and hence the wand. Blood of wereseal is pretty costly and I had to fund the vacations, my painted shield and hermit permits. Hopefully, the situation improves tomorrow.
This run, the Smooth movements skill scores some good points. I use it relatively often.
Slow muscle day
At least I got the steel margarita and opened the gallery.

Not as good as expected
Well, I thought, I'll be able to get liver of steel this day, but I did not. The fights were too tough for me.
At least I got meat from beefy bodyguards and found the dusty book. I had terrible luck in the kitchens. 1 mushroom after 20+ adventures.
Final stats:

It will be tough tomorrow to catch up.
It was close
Finishing the orchard did not take long. Back to the battlefield reaching the nuns. But what now? The pyramid, waiting for another inhaler. And then the digital key, because more waiting is needed.
I got into a tower with very few adventures left.
The tower:
Fickle Finger of F8 - 2 adventures (used scrap of paper)
giant fried egg (am I really cursed?) - 2 adventures (used scrap of paper and clover)
Electron Submarine - 1 adventure
Big Meat Golem - 1 adventure
best-selling novelist - 1 adventure
collapsed mineshaft golem - 1 adventure
3 adventures and 3 drunkenness left, there is still hope. I had a little trouble with the shadow, because I did not have any red pixel potions and the poultices were not strong enough. The NS fell after 3 tries (I let her beat me to lower the block rate). The last try was a bit lucky - my sugar shield broke down after the 2nd form was down.
