A Total Winner on Level 26

Here are the particulars on my first Rogue win in some years. I went through at least six scrolls of Scare Monster, emptied a staff of Cancellation and a staff of Slow Monster, and when I got to level 26 there were three Dragons, two Jabberwocks, and two Griffins between me and the Amulet.

For those of you who may never see one of your own, this is what it looks like when you win:

Just before going up the stairs on Level 1, I took an inventory:
