With those armor & weapon artefacts, you may not need Oka, and with the +Berserk of the armor and the Speed of the weapon, Trog seems unnecessary too.
I wouldn't say that TSO is a bad choise because it the maxed rN, as many of his bonuses will still help you (the shield and halo are always good, especially since you already have some invo & shield skill), even though you won't be able to bless your (artefact) weapon.
Ashenzari is always good :)

@tompliss:
I would avoid the Abyss for a while if I were you - its pretty hardcore these days (well actually I hate it with a passion, and never voluntarily go there, but that's an over reaction for sure). I certainly wouldn't recommend Abyss as your second rune - fourth might be more reasonable.

Also, I wouldn't recommend firestorm for someone wanting to play a melee hybrid - it will always (like 99.99% of the time, even against Orbs of Fire) be the best damage option you have, so when are you swinging your Axe? You are a whole lot of XP away from being able to cast it anyway: 14% for fireball is almost useless, unless you only plan to use it in emergencies with a potion of brilliance, or not in emergencies when it doesn't matter if you get a horrible miscast, in which case why not swing your Axe?

You want 1 awesome attack, 1 back-up plan, 1 or 2 escape plans, and a cheap way to kill popcorn. You don't need 2 awesome attacks.

edit: Also, Vehumet is awesome in the endgame - don't underestimate his MP for kills, or his extended range.

/disclaimer: I never ascended an all-runer :(

edit edit: Also, awesome.

I did a nice run in the Abyss with my main tournament character (Gargoyle Glad) but I was XL:24 by the time I went for the rune...
So I won't go for it right now :/

Vehumet
My DECj is at XL 19 now, but I can say something about Vehumet. He is quite handy because of his Gain power from killing. It is based on monster HD, so you may rely on this during the whole game. Compared to Sif channeling it is much more preferable in tough combat since you shouldn't spend turns to use the ability (and train invocations).

The first small thing that made me feel awesome was my indoor waterfall. A few minutes later though, it started flooding my fort so I felt less awesome.

@skyspire:
Even minotaurs wearing crystal plate can cast haste with enough charms. I would get fighting and polearms to ~20 and armour at least 15 before starting to train for haste, though. Those wizardry rings will help you get haste online sooner so that's good too.

If you're going to switch gods and stick with that gear, you could go for Ash. She could reskill those (for this gear) useless shield and M&F skills to something else, like charms.

I think it's the same key as in normal version.
After that, you have to find the file, and that is harder :D
In the Lantea server (the one for this character, as I was told it has a better ping for Europe), they're here :http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/morgue/
For the more classic ones (CDO, CSZO, ...), you can get your URL by going in the IRC channel and saying a command (don't remember which one... but there are people willing to help over there ^^ ).

You should put it in a "code" block, so it is more readable :

If you ever exceed the allowed post size (40,000 letters, I think), the first thing you want to cut is that vanquished list. OODs and uniques still show up in the notes section so only thing that gets cut is all those orcs and jackals.


Just cleared a jolly roger shaped Crypt5. Nice 8)

So, some progress in my game : I remebered I had a book of earth waiting for me, and switched to TSO, as I'll have the spells I want, went for the Orc mines, clearing the first levels easily. I am now on O:3, found a bailey (with nearly no loot) and a volcano (orc-themed, and with an axe-wielders room <3 ). This improved my weapon stock nicely (even if I'm hesitating between a +1/+4 orcish flaming war-axe, and a +2/+2 broad axe).

And I found a "giant" vault.
I killed an hill giant pack and a cyclop without loosing that much HP, but I am now against 2 cyclops and an Stone giant.
I saved my game, and it's then end of my lunch-break :D
And now, I don't know whether I'll survive :/

Gaa, my DsIE has just cleared V4. Cleared D, Forest, swamp and spider. I have a few uniques I am not touching, and now I have to wonder if I can take on V5. Ice storm would be at 4% if I learn it now. If I quaff a potion of brilliance, it should be nice and castable. So I could Ozzo, swift, haste and brilliance myself up, go downstairs, read a scroll of blinking, cause massive amounts of cold carnage, wake up everything on the level, run around the outside corridors, and hope to be alive and kicking, like a pro. Or I can stair dance like a nOOb, hoping I can soak up the damage, and just freezing cloud / bolt of cold the welcoming committee slowly and painfully.

Decisions decisions :) Need to stop by my stashes first and stock up on some key consumables, but I am kind of tempted to go for the brilliant-storm approach - would be my first time casting ice storm ever.


tompliss: I think you should bail - blink out of range of the stone giant's rocks, heal up, then try again if you want. Those rocks can hurt.

@vogonpoet:
Since it's not my character, go pro! But if I were in your situation (and I am), I'd rather do slime first. My XL24 DsIE is doing slime3 currently. Of course V5 just happens to be one of those places that I have an unreasonable phobia of and I've cleared most everything else.
With the right resists and ranged attacks slime is pretty tame. Dare I tempt fate and even say it's free xp. Only acid blobs do any damage and they're easy to kill quickly.

disclaimer: Dissolution and Royal Jelly may in fact kick your ass

@tompliss: That's definitely a blink away situation. You have way too low HP to withstand that kind of ranged attacks.

Well, I never actually tried to clear Slime... I do seem to be wearing mostly artifact gear right now though, so perhaps its not unpossible. What resists do I need? I have my conservation cloak, and have clarity and res mut amulets - which should I use? My trusty falchion of the Viper allows incredibly resistant MR. I have my pip of rC. Is there anything else I need?

If I could get my Icestorm down to 1 or 2% before V5, and maybe some more dodging, I would be a bit happier, but I have Slime-a-phobia.

What is needed :
    Corrosion resistance
    Cold resistance for azure jellies
    Clarity for golden eyes
    Mutat resistance for Shining eyes
    An amulet of stasis or high magic resistance for giant eyeballs and great orbs of eyes
You should keep both amulets in your inventory, switching from one to the other depending on the ennemies spotted, but without rCorr, I find it really hard to wander in this branch ... The only time I did it was with a Dig-casting gargoyle, to enlarge the tunnels :D

Clarity for golden eyes.
rMut for shining eyes.
rCorr/all armour slots filled for acid damage (acid blobs, mostly). Wear either artifact, +5 enchanted or throwaway gear as anything else will get horribly -enchanted.
rC helps against azure jellies.
rPoison will enable you to eat chunks, though only few enemy types leave corpses.

You'll be doing some gear swapping depending on what kind of eyes you're facing. I'm pretty sure that shining eyes don't smite target, so you can stop their malmutations with butterflies or whathaveyou and still wear clarity if need be.
Remember that walls damage you if you're next to them. Dig/large hp helps to clear those few 1-2 tile wide corridors but neither is absolutely necessary.

Slime differs quite a bit from regular D, but powerful ranged attacks and abovementioend resists take a lot of edge out of it. My first downstaircase to S2 or 3 was surrounded by a dozen eyes of varying types, some slimes and an acid blob so buff up and stay on your toes.
