YASD: TeVM - Sif Muna's Orc Party
Oh, I had forgotten I made this thread.
I survived the wrath quite easily actually, I didn't have to stop casting spells at all. Losing all of my magic / getting a temporary 5 reduction to Int occasionally while in the middle of resting was more of a minor inconvenience than anything scary.
I found a bailey on D:13, and it took me a long time to get there because Crawl decided that the event of discovering a bailey would probably be the best time to send multiple hydrae, hill giants, and rock worm zombies at me simultaneously. After a lot of pillar dancing and meph clouds, I finally managed to worm my way in before the portal closed. I got a bit into the bailey, then at some point I found myself standing right next to an orc knight who was wielding a great mace. I only had 50% of my HP left with no method of immediate escape (only teleport scrolls), so I threw a meph cloud and hoped for the best. Meph cloud failed, the orc knight laughed at my insolence, and my skull was swiftly bludgeoned into a pulp.
I'm still surprised by the huge quantities of orcs I had to fight so early in the dungeon. It was pretty unusual.

I've cleared my way down to D:11, and I'm getting ready to enter the lair. Unfortunately, there's hardly been any scrolls, and most of my potions are still unidentified. Crawl has been throwing huge quantities of orcs at me, and if I wasn't playing as a Venom Mage I probably would have died by now. I'm consistently turning corners to find bands of 14+ orcs waiting on the other side, but thanks to mephetic cloud and olgreb's toxic radiation, they haven't been much of a problem. I found a book of Geomancy on D:4, which I used to learn Stone Arrow to deal with enemies my poison can't handle (i.e. Imps, Wights, Zombies etc.).
I found a spell book near the Lair, and when I picked it up I discovered that it was only a copy of my starter spell book. Since the Lair was conveniently surrounded by lava, I decided to throw it in and forget about it.
...
Whoops.
I had completely forgotten that Sif Muna hates the destruction of spell books. Now I'm under Sif Muna's wrath, and I haven't even gotten to the midgame yet.
Any advice? Will I be able to survive Sif's wrath this early in the game?
