grodog the Persistent I, a level 0 Thief. Descended to level 4 of the dungeon and won 20 GP. Killed by spear trap on level 4! REST IN PEACE.

This may be as deep as I've gotten in the past?:

grodog the Uncapitalized V, a level 0 Dungeon Robber. Descended to level 4 of the dungeon and won 30 GP. Killed by a Werewolf on level 4! REST IN PEACE

Alas Uncapitalized V had a ring of invisibility, so his prospects looked good...

...but apparently his successor was the true heir to the throne:

Congratulations to grodog the Uncapitalized VI! He ventured into the dungeon and returned rich! He is now a tavernkeeper. grodog the Uncapitalized VI played on Advanced difficulty. The story of grodog the Uncapitalized VI shall be recorded on the Adventurer's Monument to inspire further generations.

Trying to get a lvl 4 thief. No luck so far but lots of names for the graveyard

After far to many deaths I managed to retire a lvl 4 thief and now have a rapier and leather armor available at the merchant. Meh, a small help but lvl 5 seems like it will take a huge amount of luck to reach.

Recommend you revert to Dungeon Robber class. Thief dies too easily.

I went back and forth on this. The thief is worthless in combat, but the sneak ability is good (especially if you can get a magic item that boosts it) because it lets you steal treasure. Always try to sneak, and carry lots of oil flasks - if your sneak attempt fails, run away and drop an oil flask to cover your retreat. You'll still get killed frustratingly often by traps and wandering monsters, but I think you're a little better off than a Dungeon Robber.

This is a time hole for sure, but fun anyway. One thing that's been bugging me - how do you eat food?

When you're in a dead-end passage (and possibly a room with no exits?) you're given the option to eat food.
