Hi,
with my renewed interest in ADOM, I created a character and found myself in an interesting situation. Please advise!
I have a dark elven necromancer at level 12 but still no Healing. Right after starting the game I headed to the dangerous cave and made it to the mountain village. Picked up some good spells on the way, so my list looks like this:
I even managed to get teleport control. I thought doing the Village dungeon would be a cakewalk, but then I realized it was pointless, since I'm chaotic and the healer won't teach me anything! The Chaotic way of geting the skill is closed, because I already killed the crime lord. I actually did it in order to move towards N, but it proved to be too little, and the damned amulet of law will rather kill me without healing than help me improve alignement.Astoria St:15 Le:17 Wi:16 Dx:17 To:16 Ch: 2 Ap:11 Ma:20 Pe:18 C

I retrieved the doggie's corpse, spent time with the tiny girl, gave gold to beggars but I'm still at C. The Guidebook does mention that dark elven necromancers are truly devoted chaotics. I got the fast healing talent to help me cope, but still without any reliable ways of restoring HPs further progress is tedious and dangerous.
Any suggestions as to next move? Also, do you have any experience with the Necromancy skill? What corpses make good slaves and are they even worth bothering with? I'm refraining to use it now because it's probably a chaotic act.
