Muhahaha's Ogres In Progress
Anyway, about the character. Although they ain't the best race around, Ogres are by far my favorite. This one makes great use of his race's two greatest tools; oversize blunt objects for smacking people with, and oversize blunt objects for throwing. At this point in the game his squishyness is generally offset by his massive HP pool, but I know that can't last forever, and his lack of resistances will likely come into play rather soon. I'm hoping I can find some sort of dragon armor soonish, and might turn on my armor skill preemptively in the near future. I've found a shield, so I could go that route if I want to stick with a one handed blunt. I guess dodging is also an option.
As for my God, I took Trog for the ammo delivery, chance of branded giant spiked clubs, and good panic buttons. If I last long enough I will likely change to TSO, I have a invocations manual stashed away should I live long enough to need it. With the WIki down I can't be quite sure what Trog's punishments are, and what if anything I will need to survive them. If I try this build again I might go Oka; I haven't had to use Trog's panic buttons all that often, and the ability to get usable armor may offset the need to blow Exp on Invocations.
I'm in the Spider Nest for the first time with any character ever, but the path is blocked by every bodies favorite spell-casting statue. I'm torn between trying to pelt her to death, running up and 'zerking, and just going to the store in Orc to buy a wand of digging and skip her. I guess Trog Summons might help. I'm not exactly sure what the bottom of this branch contains, do you think my character is ready to shoot for the Rune here? Or should I just clear 1-4 and get the hell out of dodge? Is anything in this branch weak to silver? If so I should grab some special javalins I have stashed away.
Thanks in advance of the help!
