Fairly new to the game, i tried for my 5th char a Deep Dwarf Berserker. A former attempt at Berserker with a Human had taught me to use wisely Berserk, for all the food heavy toll. So i mainly played shooting stones at monsters and finishing them off with my dwarven Hand Axe, occasionnaly using Trog's Hand when low on HP and berserking when i had spare chunks to eat.
This Deep Dwarf went smoothly despite the absence of healing. Slayed Eustachio on D:4, visited an Ossuary on D:5. Ijyb went down on D:5 too.
DL6 was a little tricky: Prince Ribbit, Menkaure, Sigmund AND Blork the Orc were on the way. I somehow managed to survive, but it took me a day long, stopping to ponder critical moves 3 or 4 times (i even wrote down the tiles on a paper to think about it at work
)
DL8 i cornered Pikel apart from its slaves and chopped him down. Found the Entrance to Orcish Mines.
First Time i went down there. I was at first overwhelmed by the orc packs, but after a while got used to it and began making carefully my way downstairs. My food supplies beginning to shrink, i tried not to use too much Trog's Hand, Berserk and Brothers in Arms.
I popped in Orc:3, and spotted after a few steps one pack ahead led by two warriors and an Orc High Priest (never fought an High Priest before).
I made my mistake there. I decided (being in the center of a great room) to go fight back to a wall 3 tiles away. Next thing i knew, the High Priest had begun to summon demons everywhere. By the time i reached the wall i was totally surrounded by demons, zombies, orc warriors (the 2 initially spotted) and my orc High Priest.
I bravely tried to stand and kill the High Priest. But Hungered, Poisoned, with a demon Gnawing away my INT, i finally died, having to use combat turns to recharge my Wand of healing in order to barely survive another round of Fight.
All in all i was pretty surprised by the smooth cruise of this Berserker compared to my previous Human Berserker (with healing i Mean) wich died crapfully at its first encounter with an ogre.
