Just to hammer this home, if she hits you with pain, she can do anywhere between 0 and 7 damage, depending on your AC and her damage roll.  That's most of your health, right there.

The thing is, she can hit you with pain while you're running away.  So most of the time it's better to close the gap and hope for the best if meleeing.

I actually really like early gnoll fortresses... lots of xp, and if you inhabit one of the chokepoints around it it usually possible to kill them all slowly.  Although if Sigmund bum rushes you... ouch.

There are some times when all you can do is stand and applaud.  Well done!

Two funnily named randarts I've got recently: The +8, +4 Giant Spiked Club of Reason (well, it made enemies see my side of the argument pretty quickly) and the -3 Robe of Nihilism ("What's the point?  These monsters will kill me whatever robe I wear").

She's on my short list next run though.  I'm having a blast trying to get the latest version to compile at the moment.

:edit: Oh what the hell.  Sigmund, stairs down, Pikel, teleport, Pikel AND Prince Ribbit.

The rng has smiled on me this round.  I'm debating on whether to go with the +1 +1orcish war axe of venom, or the +2 +0 demon trident of chaos.  The axe does rather consistent levels of damage and I know what to expect.  The trident absolutely rapes most of the time, but the random effects worry me.  Of course the random effects also seem to keep Xom entertained, so I'm not really sure.  Any thoughts?  This is by far the furthest I've gotten with a character and I'd prefer he not die a stupid death.

More importantly, why haven't you identified all those scrolls yet?

Edit: fffffff

Found an ice dragon hide on D:3 and was promptly killed by Sigmund.

I've had like 2 id scrolls dropped so far.  I tend to use those on amulets and weapons and unwisely only try scrolls in the heat of combat.

Then just read one of each scroll you have on a clear level. The worst that can happen is a cursed item and remove curse scrolls are, what, the second most common?

I actually have quite a few of them.  I hadn't really thought about identifying them until you brought it up.  I've done it now.  Nothing super exciting, but a blink I can control should come in handy.

:edit: up until now I've been wondering why people kept complaining about centaurs, I guess I know now (I came down at full health, that's 2 volley's worth, should have gone upstairs instead)

If the question is still relevant...

I'm debating on whether to go with the +1 +1orcish war axe of venom, or the +2 +0 demon trident of chaos. 

"You hit the Iron Troll! The Iron Troll goes berserk! You hit the Iron Troll! The Iron Troll is healed!"1

Chaos weapons are the kiss of death. The only reason you should even remotely consider using it is to keep Xom happy. I still wouldn't suggest it. The trident will eventually cause your death if something else doesn't get to you first. You don't want to be sitting next to a berserk Lernaean Hydra.
