CIP Ogre Hunter of Ashenzari

[lerugray]

I have a great game going with an Ogre of Ashenzari. right now im in Swamp:4 killing everything with ease. im playing my game on CAO and im not sure if there is a way to upload the information from my current game, but i posted some screen caps in the attachments.

i have a really healthy stash with jewelry for every situation, i just started transferring knowledge from charms to spellcasting so i can spam LRD on enemies from where they cant see me (thanks Ashenzari!)

What should i focus on?

Update: Just got my first rune at the swamp. where should i go for my next one? i was thinking about trolling the elven halls first. or maybe just head into the abyss and look for another rune.

If you're playing .9 and you have snake generated and you have some means of poison resist, it should be a cakewalk for you. In .10 they've added constrict to a bunch of the monsters which I understand makes it much more dangerous.

Elf generally isn't too difficult IMO as long as you have magic resist and abjuration. Without both it can get tough due to Abyssing and/or summoned demon swarm, although I've done it with Trog before, so no abjure. Elf :1-4 shouldn't be too much of a problem with just MR.

In my opinion, you're better off doing vaults 1-7 first but you're not going to be in too much trouble in Elf.

Unfortunately the Snake Pits wasn't generated. i feel like thats the easiest rune.

Ugh I just ran into Mennas in the vaults, was able to speed potion away from him, but im not sure how to proceed...

Bypass him, unless you found him on Vault:7. Go up a level from where he is, take a different set of stairs back down to his level, and find the first stair down to the next level. Once below him, find the other up stairs and use them so that you know where the other ends are. Mennas will wander around looking for you while you're off the level and will eventually fall asleep. Fortunately, Vault levels are big enough that you may never see him again, or at least not until you're in a position to fight him (if that's truly necessary).

By the way, you can get your character dump by pressing # in-game and then going to http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/yourname/yourname.txt
After that, just post it in a [.code][./code] box, removing the .
