CIP HuVM^Hepl --> YASD Halberd of Distortion
This is a continuation of my "Need Help With Humans" DCA thread, in which the consensus was that I ought not be having as much trouble as I've been having lately. I've been taking copious in-game notes, describing my thought process strategically and tactically, to better enable feedback from you all. I've also found that this is making me play more carefully. Please excuse my horrible typing, in general I get it down and then fix typos, but Crawl isn't a word processor.
I think this is going well thus far. Please let me know if I've made any stupid mistakes build-wise or in particular battles

7196 | Temple | Makh: minor demon and dstruction
7196 | Temple | Hepl: an ally
7196 | Temple | Gozag and Usk: lets you do more of the same killdudes
7196 | Temple | So Makh or Hepl or Zin (recite)
7196 | Temple | Hepl and Makh let me pospone Invo training
7196 | Temple | Makh is better long term, Hepl falls off in endgame
7200 | Temple | But HEpl helps me more now
7200 | Temple | So Hepl it is
7210 | Temple | Became a worshipper of Hepliaklqana the Forgotten
7212 | Temple | max HP 60 to 54
7244 | D:5 | Got a shimmering long sword
7245 | D:5 | found a randart long sword. No ?RC, so hold and wait
7293 | D:5 | back to the killer bee pack. I have a corridor with a door, so I'll use Janatris to block and smite PV over it. No ?RC, so won't risk wieldign the trident to lose the sling
7567 | D:5 | found a dire flail! one of the best returns on investment for low-skill fighting and weapons skill. Only lajatang and demon foo are better
7692 | D:5 | Reached XP level 9. HP: 59/59 MP: 4/12
7917 | D:6 | Reached skill level 5 in Fighting
8043 | D:6 | Found a stormy altar of Qazlal.

8085 | D:6 | Found a hide-covered altar of Uskayaw.
8181 | D:6 | Okay Hepl is really nice. the SInv is really handy (sky beast)
8207 | D:6 | Found a sparkling altar of Nemelex Xobeh.
8235 | D:6 | Identified the +10 long sword "Eckoch" {freeze, Fragile +Fly Int+4} (You found it on level 5 of the Dungeon)
8236 | D:6 | found RC. the lond sword is a fragile, so I don't think I'll be using the sling for a while. But I'll not be beholden to this, nor will I train LBl for just this.
8405 | D:6 | the lack of reaching on the long sword means I need to be careful to get into corridors if I want the ally and I to be attacking together.
8405 | D:6 | I'm not a fan of riposte but this sword will help reward my didging investment
8405 | D:6 | Fighting is 5, I'll turn that off and turn Poison back on to get OTR running
8410 | D:6 | Learned a level 4 spell: Olgreb's Toxic Radiance
8417 | D:6 | wearing the buckler puts mephitic at 16%, I should have tried that earlier

8417 | D:6 | no aux armors at all thus far!
8455 | D:6 | Found a shimmering altar of Xom.

9365 | D:7 | Pikel's slave. Hope he has an electrowhip!
9392 | D:7 | Noticed Pikel
9397 | D:7 | flaming, and he quaffed haste. Retreat!
9428 | D:7 | Killed Pikel
9428 | D:7 | Reached skill level 10 in Dodging
9428 | D:7 | Reached XP level 10. HP: 32/66 MP: 13/13
9429 | D:7 | he caught up to me, his haste lasted longer than I thought. I forgot to adjust skills for his XP, so poison is high now. Dodginf is at 10 too.
9429 | D:7 | so for LBl I have this +10 long sword of freezing, and a couple falchions
9429 | D:7 | For M&F I have a flail of venom and a dire flail. SO for now the long sword is best
9429 | D:7 | Dodging at 10, Fighting at 5, I'll train *LBl and Stealth, aiming for 6 in each.
9429 | D:7 | Well first let's see how heavy an armor my magic skills can support. My 2 AC worries me
9683 | D:4 | wait. I also have a quarterstaff. maybe I shoudl train staves? no the lobg sword is still fine. a wight will give me a great sword to growq into soon enough
9695 | D:4 | robe 3/4/12/19 sting/PV/meph/OTR
9707 | D:4 | leather 4/6/16/26
9733 | D:4 | ring 9/12/20/43
9753 | D:4 | robe 2/17/3 ac/EV/SH
9763 | D:4 | leather 3/16/3
9773 | D:4 | ring 5/14/13
9775 | D:4 | these are all the same sum of AC+EV+SH. So I'll stay in robes for the spell success and stealth
9880 | D:7 | ring of stealth!
9944 | D:7 | Found Ejiut's Antique Weapon Boutique.

11895 | D:8 | You fall through a shaft for 2 floors!
11895 | D:10 | Entered Level 10 of the Dungeon
11899 | D:10 | fell through a shaft. killed a sleeping orc wizard right next to me, then magic map. It's a whole-floor vault. I am in a wide open area with a yak pack and an orc warrior in view
11899 | D:10 | there are tons of open areas. an orc priest is in view too, and a bullfrog.
11899 | D:10 | The closest area with chokepoints is through the orcs.
11899 | D:10 | teleport is likely to put me in another wide open area
11899 | D:10 | I have haste. I'll quaff haste and run past the orcs to the corridor
11949 | D:10 | success, but I'm at half health and the yaks heard the mephitic I used to kill the orc warrior. One yak in view. Run first and see what's ahead
11961 | D:10 | got around a corner, try to rest
11966 | D:10 | the yak found me. no idea how many others are following it
11966 | D:10 | PV
11967 | D:10 | poisoned it now kite it, but I'm potentially pillar dancing around a pillar when I don't know what's on the other side
11975 | D:10 | no yaks followed that one. I can pillar dance it until my ally regenerates
11996 | D:10 | it lost me with my stealth
11996 | D:10 | now it's far from me, and my ally is back, and I don't think anyone else can hear us. PV and tomahawks, then ally kills it. I won't risk melee myself since I'm still at half health
12137 | D:10 | done and I'm back to full health
12137 | D:10 | all the upstairs are in a single room in the middle of the wide open area. Neat vault
12137 | D:10 | these are nearby, I'll try to go back upstairs
12329 | D:9 | done. I had to lead the yak pack back into the pillar dancing area and OTR'd it
12531 | D:9 | boots finally!
12591 | D:9 | Reached ** piety under Hepliaklqana
12592 | D:9 | time to specialize my ally
12592 | D:9 | I choose Hexer, because I need this guy vs hydras and I don't want it getting stuck with a bladed weapon
12592 | D:9 | Remembered your ancestor Janatris as a hexer
12670 | D:9 | Noticed a two-headed ogre
12687 | D:9 | Killed a two-headed ogre
12875 | D:8 | Bought a scroll of enchant armour for 112 gold pieces
12875 | D:8 | Bought a scroll of enchant armour for 112 gold pieces
12877 | D:8 | stealth is 6.7. I'll train shields instead. I have the long sword for a while, and this will give me both SH and spell success, which latter will let me upgrade my armour
12877 | D:8 | Also LBl is 8.6, unfocus it and turn on fighting also. so 33% Fgt/LBl/Shd
13066 | D:9 | Reached skill level 1 in Shields
13126 | D:9 | Found an ancient bone altar of Kikubaaqudgha.
13803 | D:10 | this vault has fruit hiding under plants! neat flavor
13919 | D:10 | a hog! Kirke? early if so, and I've no MR devices!
14126 | D:10 | electric eels in the river/lake. PV a few times to poison them well, then go out of LOS and see if they die. IF not, rinse/repeat. If more than one eel at same time, retreat immediately
14302 | D:10 | killer bee in a wide open area, with water I've not ensured is clear of eels. OTR is great against bees, but let's clear out the eels first, and try to come at them from a better direction that might have a corridor for me to get into
14978 | D:10 | wow that wyvern hit me much harder than other ones had! run to heal
15149 | D:10 | found book of sky. lightning spire is GREAT for me. Air already helps with my two most used spells, and I have the levels for it now.
15154 | D:10 | Learned a level 4 spell: Summon Lightning Spire
15154 | D:10 | LBl is 9.3, Shields 3.4. Get these to 10/4, then all-in on spire. Turn off fighting to get to these goals faster
15366 | D:10 | Reached XP level 12. HP: 75/80 MP: 15/15
15408 | D:10 | coming at the bee pack from behind, I have little huts I can put my ally in the doorway of. So OTR and PV while it tanks for me
15683 | D:10 | Noticed a two-headed ogre
15699 | D:10 | Killed a two-headed ogre
15699 | D:10 | Reached skill level 1 in Summonings
15805 | D:10 | Found an opulent altar of Gozag.
16002 | D:10 | Reached skill level 10 in Long Blades
16405 | D:10 | armor upgrade time. AC/EV/SH=sum, OTR success. Sting I don't care about, PV and Meph will take care of themselves as I get spire online.
16405 | D:10 | robe 5/18/5 = 28 12%
16415 | D:10 | TLA 7/17/5 = 28, 14%
16425 | D:10 | ring 8/16/5 = 29, 26%
16617 | D:7 | +2 ring rF+ 10/16/5 = 31, 26%
16617 | D:7 | I'll go with the ring mail, and train poison too along with air and summoning
16617 | D:7 | wait what abnout stealth?
16617 | D:7 | and maybe +Regen is better than rF+ at this stage of game
16617 | D:7 | ring: stealth ++++
16627 | D:7 | TLA stealth ++++. a wash
16638 | D:7 | robe: stealth ++++
16638 | D:7 | sos talth isn't an issue, but regen vs. fire I don't need is. I'll still carry the ring mail in case a volcano spawns, but swith to TLA. plus I can then turn off poison and get spire online earlier
16828 | D:10 | Noticed a two-headed ogre
16876 | D:10 | Killed a two-headed ogre
16876 | D:10 | Reached skill level 5 in Air Magic
16986 | D:10 | Book of Frost!!! after amensia'ing Sting, I need just one more level for Ozo's. Also, ice beasts!
17292 | D:10 | spire is at 24%. I can turn off air, keep summoning on, and start Spc for levels for the book of Frost. I have so many varied spells now Spc begins to give better returns for spellpower, too
17363 | D:11 | Reached skill level 5 in Summonings
17496 | D:10 | I have three spell levels now (4 if I get rid of Sting) and Ozo's and Ice Beast are both at 46% or so. I think I'll do Ice Beasts first, since I need to train just Ice to get it up to speed and both Ice and Charms for Ozo's
17502 | D:10 | Learned a level 4 spell: Summon Ice Beast
17502 | D:10 | training Spc and Ice now

17696 | D:11 | found Orc entrance
17753 | D:11 | brown ugly thing!
17753 | D:11 | It's 6 hexes away. Look for a place I can lure it to where a spire can doublezap it while I and the ally beat on it. OTR before luring, to poison it more than once
17783 | D:11 | crap it didn't follow me. now to find a way to get back to it where I won't turn a corner and find it right htere
17803 | D:11 | Found a staircase to the Lair.
17865 | D:11 | two spire miscasts and the thing is still five hexes away. down to 5 MP. Mephitic and see whether my ally can take it out, if not run
17885 | D:11 | ally took it down to 1/3 hp before dying. its confuse wore off about the same time. I threw tomahawks as it approached and then meleed with the sword. ended with 63/80 HP and 3 MP.
18021 | D:11 | wraith close and troll disant. retreat to a room try for a spire again
18027 | D:11 | the wraith is killing my ally. t-f to see if I can draw it back to me.
18028 | D:11 | nope ally is gone.
18044 | D:10 | upstairs to replensih MP and ally. spire got them down to low HP but didn't kill either one.

19128 | Lair:1 | Noticed Fannar
19129 | Lair:1 | fannar, still sleeping. retreat
19134 | Lair:1 | I can get to rC++, make allies, and start with a mephitic. I'll scout around to see who else might be attracted to the noise, then do it.
19143 | Lair:1 | found a teleportt trap nearby
19204 | Lair:1 | no one in earshot. approach from the side with the t-trap
19207 | Lair:1 | use f to judge line of sight, then place a spire on that to block him.
19243 | Lair:1 | Killed Fannar
19243 | Lair:1 | Reached skill level 5 in Ice Magic
19334 | Lair:1 | no damage to me. I engaged one of his ice beasts but not Fannar himself
19345 | Lair:1 | his robe was +2 rC+. This gives me an extra EV over the +0 TLA, and brings spells down to low teens.
19345 | Lair:1 | Now to train fighting and dodging. LBl can wait, my killdudes seem fine right now.
19879 | Lair:1 | Reached **** piety under Hepliaklqana
20359 | Lair:2 | I wonder whether I might want to train Invo for idealize. Wait until Fgt gets to 10 first I think.
