I am heading for the tower of eternal flames, but don't have an ice ring. Will my Crystal Mail burn away? I want to bring a bow, to kill the Chaos Wyrm... could it hold some time, just to fire my 10 special arrows? Do amulets burn away? I like to keep my AoDefense +5...

crystal will not burn up

most amulets will melt

if you have fireproof blankets you can keep the ammo and bow in your backpack you have a deacent chance for them to last for a few shots.

Bring several bows, since they do burn quickly. Blessing them also helps. Wear the ankh instead of that anulet of defence.

I did it! The wyrm fell to 3(!) arrows of dragonslaying! That was really the easiest time with him ever... if not my fireproof blanket hadn't burnt away in the middle of engaging the fire temple, what made me to run away, teleport out, find a new one in the ID - that took at least 3 hours!
Well, that's the most powerful character I ever had. Really, people here and in the forums often despise trolls. It is a very dumb trollish barbarian who just reached LvL 18. She has really extreme stats, I think:

St:35 Le:31 Wi:25 Dx:27 To:41 Ch:15 Ap:21 Ma:18 Pe:34 (natural stats without equipment)

The only problem with her is the difficulty to get rid of corruptions. The dwarben mystic hasn't helped me here, Khelavaster died. I found a scroll of chaos resistance in the high mounain village, and drank whatever the Terinyo druid would give me.

I would like to give a remark on the "deliver mighty/tremendous blows" ability. I think it is underused - it saved my butt a several times in this game alone, when really nasty monster showed up. For example the darkforge golems where really tough until I remembered to use mighty blows. I also helped me to bash a living wall in the pyramid at Lvl 13. Whenever something comes around that is difficult to damage, it is a nice feature to have.

Well, now I am going on and try to get entry to that minotaur maze.
EDIT: No entry.. now that's a drawback of trolls. The only way possible now, it seems, is descending past the casino and getting more corrupted...
EDIT2: Wrong again. I tried to enter the rift. It worked. I slipped and fell etc, and lost a lot of wands, but everything is fine... oh I am excited, never been here before...
