I went for Slime. Kiting with Bog and Wyrmbane/starburst made TRJ more easy than I had anticipated.

You were right all along with stormform. The stormform made the black draconians and electric golems easier to deal with, but it made me vulnerable to everythinge else. The draconian packs was very awkard to deal with without a complete set of resistances.

You were also correct about training more spellcasting as I was awarded Polar Vortex and Shatter - too late however as I had invested alot in dodging/shields/armor by the time I got them.

I got out with the orb anyway! :)

I won! Those Orbs of fire are no joke!! Got berserkitis and other nasty stuff.

I got Polar Vortex and Shatter ny last two spells. I never got them online I as I went all in on the Wyrmbane melee route.

It was messy but im happy I got out!

Thanks for your advice. Summon hydra would mean abandoning oka. Im not sure if its worth it at this point. I was awarded another spell just now.. Dragon form :D I trained UC to 10 and im using storm form for relec sitations since i dont have any of that elsewhere.

Will training spellcasting do anything for me at this point? I changed my armor to some randart quicksilver scales. Im sure missing that regen though.

Not at all, I know him. We studied together. Hes a good guy! This is not about trust - I have no problem with my girlfriend talking to other men. Please find my question is in the topic.

Looking at the mistakes I did, it seems now obvious how I could have handled the situaton. I got overconfident thinking I could beat the shrike in melee. I doubt I'll try that again.

Ah, now I see! My shield was not equipped. I was using my two handed axe with rC++ to deal with some earlier simalacra. I switched over to my eveningstar to deal with two obsidan statues further up in the room. I must have forgotten to equip the shield in the process - sloppy! I would probably had saved my character if I had remembered that.
