I hope I pasted this right. Anyway, once I get the serpentine rune, what should I do next? Usually I would go for Elf and get myself killed, but I'm actually hoping to win this game for once. Should I go for Slime since I have rCorr? And for those of you wondering, the fire dragon armor is the best thing I could find at this point. And the current skill training is apt to change if you think it should. I'm turning off spellcasting at 5. Any advice?

Edit: A friend of mine just beat Elf with a lvl 15 GrFi of Qazlal. Please explain.

If I do elf, it's usually after I have both lair runes, have run vaults:1-4, and done depths. Then you can probably do elf and be alright. I'd never get my first rune and then jump into elf, it's far too dangerous of a branch.

That aside, what you actually want to do next is get the snake rune as you mentioned, then do vaults:1-4, then some depths. it's okay to skip the last level of depths if there's a nasty zot vault, but I usually clear it all. after that you choose either vaults:5, elf, crypt, or some other rune, such as slimy/abyssal. I tend to stick with vaults, but there's perfectly good reasons to do slime some games.

As for skills you look pretty good. I'd turn off fighting and armor for now, and spellcasting off at 5 is fine. You want to pump charms until you have haste reliable asap, then you can go back to armor/fighting. Delaying getting haste just to have .5 more levels of fighting (level 20+ of a skill is very expensive) isn't worth it.

Long term skill training after haste is probably more fighting/armor/dodging, although you might want to start looking into a ranged option. Spells or a ranged weapon is fine, although you have shoals, so there's probably large stacks of javelins just laying around, picking up a stack or two (steel, penetration, etc) and training throwing to 10 is pretty cheap.

Edit: A friend of mine just beat Elf with a lvl 15 GrFi of Qazlal. Please explain.

It's absolutely possible to beat difficult areas of the game with surprisingly low leveled characters, but that's different from it being standard, or even a good idea. He probably understands how to separate and pull monsters slowly, and avoided prolonged/long range fighting as much as possible.

Or just study Yermak for underleveled ninjaing! http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/morgue/Ye ... 181253.txt

Alright. Just cleared Snake and vaults 1-4. Nothing new I'm particularly excited about.

So, should I do the Orb run now, or do something else first? I don't have any rMut, and therefore orbs of fire are very scary, so, what to do? And of course, the usual: what to train? I plan on forgetting discord (don't even know why I have it) and flame tongue, so spell suggestions would be nice as well.

Note: The reason I'm in Lair is because I was visiting the stockpile, for those of you whom that may not be obvious for.

[1010011010]

If you want a 3 rune win then you'll be fine, don't worry about mutations from OoF too much since it's the end of the game and you got potions in case your get a really bad one. Killing them quickly and one at a time will reduce mutations, your armour and silver javelins should make the fight relatively easy.

As for spells, you can go with all those charms like ozo armour, or spectral weapon (works well with polearms).

Use your ?EA if you can find some ego gloves Ctrl+f "glove&&ego"
and use (or drop) your !BenMut.

Your invocations look a bit low for an invo dependant god.

[Magipi]

A word before Zot: don't underestimate draconian packs. Those dudes are dangerous, you can think of them as buffed up elves. Always haste yourself, deal with them 1-on-1 (I almost always dig killholes), and if there is also a moth of wrath with them, retreat instead of fighting.

Your character is certainly strong. Just proceed cautiously.

Edit: have you found an amulet of mutation?

[McGeekster]

Well, I'm on Zot:4, about to do the Orb run. Before that, I would like to say a few things. Firstly, I got bored and got the abyssal rune (why not?). I also, in response to "Draconians are basically buffed up Elves", decided to clear elf with my amazing wand of digging, haste, and Mr++++. Loot sucked btw, no amulet of rMut or Fencer's Gloves (I really wanted some). I entered my first zig in this game, just to see how they actually are, and noticed a few things I would like to question; why so many weapons of draining?; how did I get in the zig for free?; and can flayed ghosts kill you from a distance by flaying you? Answers would be appreciated. Well, here we go! Thanks for the assistance!

Edit: I won! Haste is amazing. I'm so happy, I could shit rainbows.
