Help a newb attain 1st win, DsBe
Howdy. I think this fellow could be my first winner. I've been playing since March and made it to Zot twice, orb once, so it's about time. I could use the help. Hopefully I can win and end my addiction to this game, right? Anyway he's cleared orc and lair except 8. I've got swamps and then spider coming up. I've found no poison resist, so I'm a bit terrified of spider currently. All jewelry is in inventory, all enchant scrolls, not all potions. Have a huge stash of wands and 2 recharge scrolls for my HW wand. I have a good stock of potions except curing. 
Which weapon should I use? So many good choices. Quote a few scrolls to use too. I figure I'll use the venom +6+10 longsword in spider, flaming demon blade on hydras, other than that I don't know. As you can see I've put nothing into shields yet, but I have a +1 RN buckler.
Which armour? Use the ringmail and invest some in stealth since I have nightstalker? Not shown are a +2 chainmail with MR, +0 plate, and a +1 pearl dragon armour available for 1795 gold.
Skills. Stealth? Shield? I figure eventually I'll put at least 5 in evocations but I really want better defenses before spider.

Which weapon should I use? So many good choices. Quote a few scrolls to use too. I figure I'll use the venom +6+10 longsword in spider, flaming demon blade on hydras, other than that I don't know. As you can see I've put nothing into shields yet, but I have a +1 RN buckler.
Which armour? Use the ringmail and invest some in stealth since I have nightstalker? Not shown are a +2 chainmail with MR, +0 plate, and a +1 pearl dragon armour available for 1795 gold.
Skills. Stealth? Shield? I figure eventually I'll put at least 5 in evocations but I really want better defenses before spider.
