CiP: GrFi of Oka. Easily my best character. Any advice?

So... this is by far the best character I've ever had. I usually rarely reach Temple, let alone clearing Ice Caves as my first post-lair branch. Am I doing anything obviously wrong?(Besides my lack of gloves and boots I just noticed while glancing at the chardump) Also, I never knew that gargoyles gained flying powers at any point, let alone perpetual flight.

I really should have realized the implications of playing a polearm user named Flaccidity.

Re: CiP: GrFi of Oka. Easily my best character. Any advice?

You probably should have put on those boots of running, at least.

Wearing plate armour will make spellcasting very difficult right now. If you insist on wearing that armour you will not have spellcasting for some time yet. (Not that you really need it, right now)

Is the flail the best weapon you've gotten so far? I hope you didn't burn enchant scrolls on that, cause eventually you're gonna get an eveningstar or demon whip and you'll want to enchant that instead.

10.6 levels in hexes and Tukima's Dance is uncastable anyway. That could have gone to another 2 levels of armour or something.

Well, that may or may not have been Edmund's+0 +2 Flail of Protection at some point. Least I know what a branding scroll looks like now.
