CiP: NaWn of Oka, Hydrae are my Kryptonite

Trying the NaWn craziness, I started this one with Young Poisoner's Handbook plus Swiftness. Spamming Poisonous Vapours, plus Spit Poison, plus dagger of venom for a finisher made for a good start. Then I found the +6 scimitar of Honesty {speed, *Drain rElec MP+9 Dex+3} on D6 so I'm training Long Blades to min delay now.

I've learned Olgreb and Mephitic for Orc, and have the above +6 Scimitar of Speed for rPois monsters, but that leaves me fearing hydrae, from which I probably can't run away even with Swiftness. I have a scimitar of flaming off Erica and I'm prepared to pay the *Drain cost to do all of Lair/Swamp with it, but I figure I'm going to need better ways of doing damage or I'm doomed. Recommendations for how to proceed?

Edit: Found a Book of Beasts, so could do Call Dog -> Summon Ice Beast. Could also add Ignite Poison to Meph Cloud vs. Hydrae.

Re: CiP: NaWn of Oka, Hydrae are my Kryptonite

Heroism plus your javelins/tomahawks should be enough to kill them. Identify that iceblast wand to ensure you don't miss with the last hit if it is next to you.
If you spot a grammar mistake in my post I will appreciate if you PM it.

Oh ok! I've never been much of a Thrower except for Heavy Rock characters. Adding some Throwing skill. (7 plus Heroism would be min delay for the Tomahawks.)
