    Default Ultra run saved! Advice?

    I trying to get closer to a chaotic alignment by doing something in dwarftown, and I think I was actually so tired I can't recall exactly what I was trying to do. In any case it ended with waldy coming at me with coins ready to flick, but the game crashed after I escaped into the ogre cave and I was sent back in time to right my wrongs. So I really want to see if I can get this guy through to the end, here's what I got :

    I have a really bad ultra ending attempt going, my drakeling duellist character is just completely underpowered and is still using big punch at 22nd level. I've had to use way too much corruption removal already due to carelessness with tough corruption creatures. But I have the boar head, a wand of monster creation, a pocc, and 6 fodder artifacts for the ratling. All I need is a scroll of danger to move on with my life. (I also have perm invis, death ray resistance, and unfortunately I'm 61 years old due to aging so I can't keep drinking pools for a wish for the scroll of danger)

    I still need stealth for the library and climbing for the rift, but what I reeeeeaaaalllllly need is the casino to finally get caught up on stuff I need to make the character work. Unfortunately I'm not sure he can take on Toef right now because he doesn't have a good way to kill ACW besides, "throw potion, hit him and don't die", and probably doesn't have enough healing for the persistent damage although that's solved by herbs. He has red dragon scale mail for general damage in the tower.

    I really want to get crowned before toef for a good weapon, but I just have nothing else to do before toef besides the rest of the puppy cave and looking for all the other random dungeons on the map (I cleared putrid and moldy).

    R66 btw.

    Assuming reasonable stats, I don't think this character should have much issue with ToEF. If you can farm herbs, that's enough to deal with the periodic damage. Alternately, a few blessed potions of extra healing and/or prayers can also get you through. Killing the ACW in melee shouldn't be an issue given the drakeling speed boost and duelist bonuses.

    You don't need to rush to get the scroll of danger. You can always have a look at the Casino. I'd just do the ToEF first.

    Alternately, you could do the Frost Giant Caves. If you avoid killing as much as possible with your invis in the IQD, you should be able to get to the Queen with minimal trouble. You don't lose much speed until the weather gets bad (as a result of excess kills).

    The scroll of familiar summoning from Thrundarr works wonders against the ACW in a pinch. There's about a 50% chance you'll get a monster that can kill him in 1 or 2 hits.
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

    I used the scroll on snake from beyond because I was too weak to kill it myself, which is partially why I'm worried about this whole thing.

    I did the frost giant caves without too much trouble and found a fire vault, but a fire elemental crit me for over 100 dmg so I think I have to come back later.

    You're a duelist. Killing stuff in melee by hitting it until it dies is a workable strategy.
    You're a drakeling duelist. Killing ACW with 300 speed is as easy as it gets. Provided of course you don't have overly low Wi.
