Slow start, but I'm liking the speed and tunneling boost on the Whip of Nogrod.

FYI we changed the savefile to something arguably easier to start (hybrid mode)

Thanks Debo, but I am using the new file with the non-longbeard dwarf and the hybrid dungeon. I like this one better. Soul Siphon is nice. I tried thrall mode with a high elf necromancer and Unlight a dozen times and never could get a character started.

Character progression is slow. Struggling to survive at DL=CL. Using up all my $ to replenish consumables. Found my first stat gain potion, *CON*, on the dungeon floor.

CL20, DL22. Survival is touch and go, with just enough gold each trip to replenish ?WoR, ?PD, ?TP, IDs, and healing potions. Found an amulet the gives +3 speed and activates for restore stats, but at the cost of -1 to all stats. Alternating as needed with the other amulet.

CL23, DL26. Down to 3 HP at one point.

CL25, DL30. Well, I save up some gold, stocked up on healing and escapes, shifted my kit to maximize acid resistance, and went after Mim. I thought a hit-and-run strategy would work, but after a protracted series of encounters I had to flee the level when my consumables ran low. I didn't help when one of his sons walked into the room right behind him. I had Mim down to 5 stars at one point early on, but after that he would heal faster than I could regenerate mana. The real problem is having only 51 SP to work with at CL25. I suppose I could cruise level 29 for kit improvements and gold and try again. Or go play Poschengband for a few days.

Normally I don't try to kill Mim using spells alone. Wands of shrapnel or a nice ranged weapon are good for softening him up or finishing him off.
