 [[Mennas]] showed up on Snake:4 and killed all my abominations.  My MiFi (or, to be more precise, his summoned demons) didn't have much problem with the angel (he was on Snake:4 in that game, too), but I don't have an AC of 37 this time.  I had to use a few charges from a [[wand of teleportation]], and more than a few from the [[wand of healing]], to get away; the latter required me to [[Deep_Dwarf#Innate_abilities|lose some max MP]].  While fleeing, I encountered the [[player ghost|ghost]] of the Minotaur Fighter (he had retreated from Snake:5 to Snake:4 hoping in vain to overcome the poison).  I bid him adieu, cast a few [[Dispel Undead]]s, and claimed his place as the most powerful of the Neils.  I left the level with six stars of piety, so went to the Temple to claim my [[Necronomicon]].
-I have no free spell levels for [[Haunt]] (which is at Fair until I can train up), but I do have three [[Scroll of amnesia|scrolls of amnesia]].  [[Deflect Missiles]] is still at Useless, so it might be worth dropping until I can get Charms and Air trained up, but I'm going to need it soon.  [[Mephitic Cloud]] is becoming less useful, and I've more or less switched from [[Pain]] to [[Throw Flame]] as my primary low-mana ranged attack.  It might also be time to switch from [[Twisted Resurrection]] to [[Animate Dead]], though the abominations are still good against things that don't wield Holy Wrath.  Available books are:

 I used up three of my four scrolls of amnesia to swap out some spells:
-* [[Twisted Resurrection]] out, [[Animate Dead]] in.  Though the abominations still work well, it's getting to the point where they don't help much in the fights that actually need them.  And actually assembling one is annoying.  Animate Dead should be somewhat better for spamming meatshields, since you get three times as many.  And I hear that, with powerful enough corpses, the zombies can actually be stronger than the abominations anyway.

 * [[Mephitic Cloud]] out, [[Alistair's Intoxication]] in.  I haven't used meph much in a long time, and have Clarity from the amulet.  The success rate is much lower (Fair only), but I'd like to give it a try.
 * [[Pain]] out, [[Sticky Flame]] in.  Anything that's susceptible to pain is probably going to be my healing potion instead, and having a way to deal with teleporters etc. would be nice.

 I thought I was done for when I got the mutation "You cover ground slowly" at XP level 8, but came across a [[Rod of Demonology]] shortly thereafter.  I skipped the Orcish Mines (D:9) after finding that the only accessible downstairs from Orc:1 led to an upstairs surrounded by a couple of [[orc knight]]s (one ''right next'' to me), some [[orc warrior]]s, and a number of [[orc priest]]s.  I wasn't ready for that, so retreated (fortunately no one woke up) and kept going down in the main dungeon.
