I thought you had to do lair first, as it was the easiest branch but then within a few turn of entering lair I instantly encountered a hydra and died, there were no doors to close to trap it so I went up a staircase sadly it came up with me. Should I have finished dungeon or do orc first?

Re: YASD- TrMo^Oka killed by a hydra on 1st floor of lair

Doing a couple more dungeon levels can be reasonable if you get D:8 lair. They might have equipped you better for hydra-killing (for which a Tr of Oka would want some fire/cold/draining/lightning wands, or large rocks/javelins). But even if they didn't, you should still go to lair instead of orc or more dungeon. Usually you can run away and go up a staircase to avoid hydras, and you also had teleportation scrolls and a scroll of fear for when that doesn't work.

Orc is riskier than lair, even if you can't kill hydras, and even if you survive orc before lair, you don't gain a lot of exp to improve your chances in Lair.
