This is going far better than any run I've had before. I've got to Lair a few times before; but none of them this powerful [Or a Lair this deep]
I've cleared out down to D:9 yet to find the Orc Mines, which I want to go to.
I got a very good Quick-Blade Artifact from a Scroll of Acquirement, so I'm leveling my Short Blades for it. +3 Elec is a good quickblade in my books, and there's an artifact ring in the D:6 store with a decent Slaying bonus [And RElec and a few other things I think]

Also something which makes this run quite good is that I've found a fair few spellbooks. The Book of Party tricks should let me take down Ogres and Giants with relative ease [Although I've only found 1 Ogre...]. I found the Young Poisoner's Handbook and Book of the Warp on D:9; giving me Meph Cloud and access to pretty much every high-level translocation. Not sure how much I should invest into Translocations.

Hopefully should get some Conjurations from Sif Muna soon, which should allow me to go into Fire Magic.

Where should I look to go from here? What spells should I look out for? How far in Translocations should I go? What sort of skill level should I get Short Blades to? [I know it hits min delay at Lv8 but Lv8 isn't the best to-hit or damage bonus]. Should I look for Orc or explore the Lair more?

Hoping to actually find boots/cloak/hat sooner rather than later. Not found any. I'd like to get a sheild at some point too seeing as I have an Artifact Quick Blade.

I'm currently just getting Air/Venom magic to lv 2; which should get cloud to a very reliable point.

Also corrupted Temple spawned for the first time I've seen it [As in; got to Temple and looked in it since I've not already found my God]. Was it a sign?

Re: DrCj of Sif Muna - Good progress

i notice a distinct lack of BATTLESPHERE in your spells, you should probably fix that because it is very good

get sbl to level 8, damage increase is percentile so you won't get much out of a base damage 5 weapon and sbl have ridiculous to-hit anyway

also this is around the point on a character i would start getting dodging/fighting but you worship sif so idk

Welp, I died.

Turned a corner; Bee swarm. Tried to C-Tele out; but an Orc Wizard decided to show up and confuse me. At which point I got stung to death horribly.

Re: DrCj of Sif Muna - Good progress

Out of curiosity, why did you skip Searing Ray? That tends to be my main damage dealer for the early game. Even when you can't lure enemies into corridors (and you pretty often can), the stacking damage as the ray charges is pretty powerful for a level 2 spell.

Re: DrCj of Sif Muna - Good progress

Have some critiques. First is that you had two identify scrolls, and had unidentified potions/scrolls. Typically most players read scrolls to id them and use identify scrolls on unknown potions. Regardless should use identify scrolls on consumables as soon as able. Also don't know what the situation with the bees was but you had a potion of lignification which gives rpois, good early ac and lots of hp. Good for dealing with bees early on, though should still try to fight in a hallway. Invis potion may have helped too. Newer players tend to forget consumables. Also would have trained less spellcasting, probably no invocations yet either. You asked about training tloc, after getting blink online wouldn't have worried about it for awhile as you had other priorities (fighting/dodging, more conjurations/charms for battlesphere and Sif, short blades to 8). Phase shift is really good though so at some point getting that castable is a good idea on a character with access to it.
