An interesting start, this one had. The randart whip was an early find on the altar to Makhleb that I used to convert, and made the normally rather harsh draconian beginning very easy indeed. I trained shields accordingly, but unfortunately never found a more suitable single handed weapon for the midgame and had to switch to this great mace in order to keep my damage output up to par. I even put a few scrolls into it, because I've got a bit of a surplus and if I never do find an eveningstar or demon whip it will serve well enough for an endgame weapon.

The future is undoubtedly going to be rough, hence the creation of this thread as I take a short break. I'm not with Jiyva this time, so I do not get my third rune for free. I can either wrest the Slimy Rune from the Royal Jelly the hard way, venture into the Vaults, or try for something even more dangerous such as the Abyss. There's no easy peasy option, here. Vaults:5 came extremely close to killing my MiMo, and I'd say he was doing better at this point in the game than this character is.

A bit of Elf might be doable without much risk, but trying to clear the vault on the third floor seems equivalent to walking through an Abyssal gate myself with my MR like it is. Even the nagas took advantage of my low MR by zonking me into the vault and repeatedly forcing me to blow scrolls of teleportation and blinking to get out.

If I went down to the Vaults I could check the Hall of Blades for a good one-hander, but offensive power is really not my concern at the moment. The great mace is just fine. What I need are resistances and anything else that would help me survive an encounter with the sort of stuff that will inevitably be showing up past this point.\

EDIT: I just now noticed that I had the Ring of the Mage. That helps my MR problems. Perhaps Elf would be a good idea, then?

Le sigh. Did Elf and all Vaults down to 4, then died in Hall of Blades looking for a one hander. Going kung fu fighting again for a while : P.
