As melee naga most of your damage comes from Constriction, anyway, but man - whacking orbs of fire for like 50 turns without doing damage feels rather discouraging.
Any reason you went with freezing brand, Graven? You still had the distortion gift, which really shines on a fast weapon like a d-whip (although, of course, I can see why you wouldn't want to blink monsters around without any strong ranged attacks, but I thought constriction prevented that? I dunno). I was surprised to learn that orbs of fire actually resist cold, but it's still handy in Zot for draconians. Good job on the win!
Freezing scales well with high damage and works against more things then Flaming. Its better then vorpal/holy wrath against most foes. Distortion does absurd damage, but the blinking is ungodly annoying.
Ok, this VpEn is doing better than previous attempts. I found a vampiric dagger, which is always nice, and thanks to Gozag I could buy several expensive books in Orc:4. The last time I found Discord on a VpEn I was really impressed with it; and this time I've got Invis and summons to help against high MR foes. Hopefully I don't splat this guy 5 minutes later like the last one. Also, which of the high-level summoning spells do you guys recommend? Greater demon, Malign gateway, or Horrible things? I've got the book with all three, but unfortunately they've removed Aura of Abjuration, so I'm worried about hostile fiends, and the other two spells I've never used.
I must admit, VpEn of Gozag boggled me the first time I saw it. Vampires need corpses for blood. Gozag turns all corpses to gold. Unless this is a challenge run or I'm missing something, this seems like a tactical blunder.
Horrible Things seems like the best all-round summoning spell, with Malign Gateway a close second. Greater Demon sounds super risky to cast.
EDIT:
My HEFE of Vehumet, while not the most exciting or pointy combination, is doing well. My innate Elven frailty got counterbalanced by getting Robust 1 from a potion of benificial mutation and my equipment and resists are good. No rElec though, which almost got me killed by Nikola[I love scrolls of fog so much]. And my spells aren't the greatest, Bolt of Magma and Fireball are my best attack spells right now. Hopefully I'll find an actual Conjurations spellbook at some point, but, barring something really dumb[Merfolk avatars, for example], I'll be fine for the foreseeable future.
