Trying a variety of builds atm. Archery is the latest one.

Been also trying Naugrim, but haven't been able to pull it off quite yet (I tried starting with 1 dex and pumping strength since axes synergize with strength better and starting with 12-13 smithing total, but I would die to wolves or orcs early on because I would have next to no melee and evasion for 50-100 ft). Going to try it again later, but start off like how I started off on this archer. Sneaking around walls and generally avoiding fights if I can. Maybe spawn the forge on 50 feet by taking the upstairs so I don't want to deal with orc soldiers. Or adding an additional point of dexterity (2 instead of 1).

Anyways, honestly surprised at how great archers are. Think I've had less trouble on this character compared to even my Noldor melee builds. I originally thought I would have needed sprinting, but it doesn't appear to be that way. (Point blank archery) gets the job done just as well if not better. (Flaming arrows) are pretty much equivalent to slay bonuses or weapon brands, although it's still a possibility for me to craft a longbow of nargothrond later on for another added dice against the much loathed raukar uniques. It would require 11 further points in smithing as well as getting enchantment, but it would also mean I could make customized arrows.

Alternatively, I could just keep pumping archery. Or perhaps stealth for vanish, exchange places, and additional dexterity? I don't believe cruel blow works with bows, but if it did, cruel blow + crippling shot could work well together. And lastly, there's the song approach where I get some combination of sharpness, slaying, elbereth, mastery, and trees.

Decisions, decisions.

P.S. Could also swap to shortbows if I get my archery high enough for more crits.

Oh what the hell, you can make artifact arrows? Sharp, cold branded, haunted arrow of fire vulnerability and terror, for 27 difficulty. I wonder if they can break on use...

Ehh, probably not going to go smithing route. 25 difficulty for arrows of piercing, plus it drains 2 STR to make them? That's a bit too hefty of an investment for not much return. Let's go with the song approach then.

Aaaand RIP. I knew I was taking a risk when I walked back into the vault, but I wanted at least to get the identification experience for seeing what was at the center of it other than the scepter. But I vastly underestimated just how many of the whispering shadows there were. And when I realized it, it was too late. I was surrounded on all sides.

Probably should get inner light or song of the trees sooner in the future...or give up on those vaults altogether. Wasn't my first encounter with those things this game though. I was handling them fine with only a light radius of 2. But one bad call was all it took.

Tbf, this run should have ended before this point. I got surrounded on all sides (a train of trolls and orc captain on one side, and easterling warriors on the other) a bit before this, but managed to force my way out with a !constitution, +3 flaming arrows, and a lot of !orcish liquors.
