Just ran into a red D, and when i examined it it was a WYVERN!
ON DUNGEON LEVEL 9!

I am a demon spawn who's completely covered with white scales (AC+5),
Can breathe fire, and who is agile (Dex+1). I have:
77 HP
11 MP
AC: 13
EC: 14
STR: 13
INT: 13
DEX: 17
LVL 10/6471 (379)
Level *9* of the main dungeon (Also a food shop on this level, i have
8 gold, though. 🙁 )
Am sitting on a rock staircase downwards. After reading a scroll of
noise.
o.0

=I have two wands of lightning, both empty, with no recharge scolls to
refill them. 3 UnID'd wands, and a wand of digging (4).
=I am wearing:
+0 Gloves
+2 Elven Robe
+2 Dwarven cloak
+0 Horned Helmet
=I have (Armors not worn):
+0 Dwarven Helm, chain, cloak
+2 Banded Mail
+2 Scale Mail fire res (Have a feeling i'll need this)
=Scrolls:
1 Teleport, 1 Blinking
3 Fear
=Jewellery:
"o Warding, =o Life Prot.(worn), "o Clairity(worn), =o Sus.
Abilities(worn), and a " o rage.
=Potions:
1 Lev. !
1 healing/heal wounds !
UnID'd !
Books:
Minor magic, changes, conjurations, and hinderance. Could
hinderance be usefull? I also have a staff of energy.

+Fighting 6
+Dodge 8
+Stealth 4
+Stabbing 2
+Traps/Doors 1
+Unarmed 10
+Spellcasting 1

I think i'll turn off unarmed and work on my staves skill now, and
become a spellcasing Monk. Is this a good plan? I have 4392 Exp
points until i gain the next level.

I have gone downstairs to discover a possibly even NASTIER enemy, a
hill giant.


Now...
To which shall I kill first?

Wyverns aren't that nasty. Hit it with a fire breath or two (hit it
once, run away (letting it follow you) until you;'ve got your breath
back, then hit it again). Berserk up and you should be able to take it
down easily. If the berserk wears off, read the teleport scroll .

Ditto for the hill giant.

It would be a waste of time working on spellcasting with this character:
his INT is too low to ever get good at it.
