You can see a hill giant.


Dl7 has a tough monster (Prince Ribbit, Gastronok, Hill Giant) by each upstairs (I stupidly tried to berserk against Prince Ribbit). How should I proceed? I have to fight one of them, and my fragile deep elf is too weak to kill any of them in a straight fight? What should I train, weapon to mindelay, defense, or invoc? Which is better, the long sword or the scimitar?

Use scimitar and keep long sword for hydrae and maybe ice beasts.
Get Invo till 4-5 to have 1% fail chance for small demons - they are of great help early-mid game.
Using plate armour with 15 Str is generally bad idea. Try wearing chain mail. Maximizing AC+EV is very decent approach for armour selection.
Prince Ribbit is your choice here. Either try to fight or lure him to D:6 then let him blink off and leave him there.
Using enchant armour scrolls on your auxilary armour pieces is a good strategy especially when you find yourself stuck.
If you spot a grammar mistake in my post I will appreciate if you PM it.

Re: CIP DEFi^Makhleb, stuck

I would probably use a ring mail and train some Dodging. Don't go all the way to min delay, it is almost never a good idea (quickblade might be an exception).
