There are no monsters in sight!
Well this has been a funny game so far - I've found a hand axe of distortion early in the game and for a while I did not remove it because of fear of the abyss but at some point I realized I'd have to swap anyway to be able to deal with hydras efficiently + several other disadvantages (exp cost together with yred minions, hand axe as a base weapon type) and of course I ended up in the abyss. After escaping from efreets, liches and several types of unpleasant demons I ended up by Lugonu altar with 12 hp left. Of course I switched to survive, and am still alive and kicking after an almost lethal labyrinth fellow minotaur encounter and leaving gastronok a level below. My dillema now is 2-fold:
1. Which weapon should I currently be using? Is it worth wielding the hand axe of dist again instead of electrocution brand?
2. I started up with polearms as my weapon skills, then of course switched to axes. There's a cheap bardiche of freezing in the shop nearby, should I train polearms and switch to bardiche later?
Any other advice will be appreciated as well.
Sealer
Edit: Should I get a ranged weapon and,
Steam Dragon armour, is it worth it? I'm hoping to branch into some easy spells later on.
