As you read the scroll labeled SKE WAAZXULEUR, it crumbles to dust.
It is a scroll of brand weapon.
Brand which weapon? (? for menu, Esc to quit)
Your +8 double sword thirsts for the lives of mortals!
_b - a +8 vampiric double sword

It's the best brand in the main game, falls off in Zot, completely useless in extended endgame (extra runes).

Shoals by a longshot especially for a new player. Ask if you wanna know more. I would do Vaults over either though.

MR is really important because a lot of stuff abysses (ogre mages, wizards, elfs) and paralyzes (sphinx, liches, ancient liches) and you want all you can get. MR++ is usually enough for the standard Vault stuff but can fail, MR+++ is recommended for Elf, Vaults:5 and Zot, beyond that mostly stops the bullshit.

Also Trog's Bros is a really good ability.

Okay I finished Vaults up to V:4, but got Abyssed in the process (my MR was a bit lacking too :sweatdrop:). However I escaped basically without trouble and actually got a +2 str mut from neqoxec. I'm gonna be super busy today but I can't wait to get home and finish this epic game!!!
