CIP the new Ogre

[syringe]

1st rune is pocketed. I have a +9 giant club, but I'm actually thinking that using the shield I found and buying the +10 demon whip (slash, MR++, rN++) is a better use of XP, especially since I'm casting a lot rather than depending on melee, and it would help me get some defenses. I reckon I should then buy a swamp dragon artefact or two. Or maybe I should buy book of Burglary? It has awesome spells and I could use most of them, if I could memorize them. This is on sale:

  Code:

     i - [Orc:1]  409 gold  an embroidered cloak
     j -  [D:14] 1170 gold  a book of Spatial Translocations (unknown)
     k - [Orc:1] 1276 gold  the +4 moon troll leather armour {Spirit, Regen++ MP+5}
     l -  [D:14] 1350 gold  a book of Burglary (unknown)
     m - [Orc:1] 1473 gold  the +10 demon whip "Hyfuo" {slash, rN++ MR++ Int-3}
     n -  [D:15] 1485 gold  scorched swamp dragon scales
     o - [Orc:1] 1595 gold  transparent swamp dragon scales
     p -  [D:15] 2627 gold  the +18 shield of the Gong {rElec rN+ MR+ EV-5}
     q - [Orc:1] 3315 gold  polished gold dragon scales

[luckless]

1st rune is pocketed. I have a +9 giant club, but I'm actually thinking that using the shield I found and buying the +10 demon whip (slash, MR++, rN++) is a better use of XP, especially since I'm casting a lot rather than depending on melee, and it would help me get some defenses. I reckon I should then buy a swamp dragon artefact or two.

Seems like the right move to me. By the time you have enough skill to get the club to mindelay, you'll also have more than enough money to by whatever you'd have picked instead of the whip, and the whip will help a lot in the meantime. The swamp dragon scales are promising, but less so because you already have rPois on the cloak.

[syringe]

YASD on the first ogre. Here's a new one. I put all enchant weapons into that triple sword (stolen from a glass cage, using passwall) and it felt great to use throughout the early game. I should probably switch to the +10 GSC at some point. An alternative is to buy a book of Ice and become a transmuter.

[syringe]

I should have gone with +10 GSC (of flaming now) but that would have been uninteresting, as I know what that's basically like, and Ash's skill bonus virtually cancels out the nerf to ogre's M&F aptitude. I went the book of Ice route and dipped into depths for fire dragon scales to go along with my staff of ice, ring of ice, and rC++ hat. I already had 8 scrolls of enchant armor. Got banished and had my tele status cancelled by distortion melee, as I was stealing the rune (with passwall tactics no less):

[syringe]

Found Ice Form and Ozu Armor before any good weapons, and cleared lair by becoming a transmuter. At this point I could cast Hydra Form at 12% fail, by memorizing it and equipping a ring of wizardry and the Int+4 spear. But ice form + ozu armor gives 18 AC and seems perfect for Swamp and Snake. I feel I should stick with ice form and just train UC. (I'm skipping Orc:2 thanks to Donald + Rupert camping near all the stairs.) There doesn't seem to be a good reason to learn Blade Hands, even if I happen to find it. And check out that Harm amulet, it has +11 to stats! Hm, should be fun to wear...
