Half-orcs don't get enough love, and I didn't see a half orc necro doing well, so I thought I'd post mine. Unfortunately, I need some ideas... how am I supposed to take down hardened warriors? They do excellent damage and have too many HP to simply cut down with death claw. Run around and raise magical devices? Scum for better protection? Just wait for about power 50 to go down there? I'm all ears.

All ears? Doesn't sound too good. If you were all muscles... ;>
Seriously, what I'd do would be to dig enough boulders, or buy enough spikes, turn into a bat and throw at them, until they are dead. Phase Door, if they come from two directions at once.
Oh, but you have no Throwing skill (aren't Orcs good at that?) and no missile combat skills. Hmm. Offensive spells? Wands?
BTW. What is your Magical Infusion for?

Hardened warriors? I know they're tough, but I rarely have large issues with them. Of course, my usual recourse is to hide around a corner and melee them, which works pretty well for me.
Have you tried the hinderance spells? Slow and/or confused things are *way* easier than unhindered monsters.
Besides, you have _CMW, whuch should be pretty reliable, no? If you choose your terrain and keep them from coming several at a time at you (you should be able to detect them, I think), I think you'll be fine.
Of course, you can always fail the quest. It's no shame.
If you want to clear it, I'd invest in some wands of something (lightning or cold bolts) and a bunch of recharging, and hit things as they come to you with them. If multiple come, stone to mud into a wall, heal, and melee or wand them.
Magic devices is plenty good to last basically the whole game (except the very beginning).
If you don't mind having badish melee and can isolate them, you can try pillardancing them as a bat (hack - back - back, IIRC).
You can also try to maledict them or horrify them -- that might keep things away from you so you can use wand combat better.

The infusion is for the recharging talent, the intent is to use magical devices as my ranged weapon skill. It's a bit low, as I typically refuse to spend on anything with penalties and I didn't want to waste useful wands and staves. I haven't been able to recharge much, but I appreciate having the option.
I'll load up on supplies and attempt the quest tonight, probably try to get up to 35% for wand of lightning bolts use. I'm trying to clear every quest I get, and take every quest I can, which has made for some interesting fights. I've never gotten to power 100, so I'm not sure when I'm going to run out of skills to boost, but I think dodging and infusion are done...

I hadn't really considered using bat form, but it works great for luring single warriors out to where you can avoid those horrific crossbow bolts. finding a rod of lightning bolts didn't hurt either. Thanks for the advice, hardened warriors killed a couple of other attempts at necros so I was a bit worried. I've now got both a ring of SI and a ring of FA, but I hate to lose my other ones. Res fire, +16 AC, +6 dex, +3 con... ugh, the choices. I'll probably hang around 1000' until my equipment gets better to go farther down, keep investing in the bookstore and the magic shop to see what comes up.

Unless you're playing the version I've changed, there is no absolute cap on experience spent.
As for recharging via the infusion skill, I think it's probably a poor long term solution -- it's more powerful but more costly than scrolls of recharging, as it costs essences rather than money. Of course, you'll only have one use for those essences unless you increase a crafting skill.
Carry a big pile of CCW and ?PD and ?tele, and consider carrying a scroll of teleport level as a guaranteed escape -- you can usually come back to a level unless you leave it for a long time or too many times.

For the record, I consider SI optional until you get to dlevel 40 or so, where not having it becomes way obnoxious. FA, OTOH, I equip as soon as I find it.
Unfortunately, dex +6 doesn't give you extra attacks, so it's useless right now, and the extra hp you get from con+3 is pretty minimal right now. I'd equip FA and either prot or SI.
No firebreather will be a problem at this point, and you can always teleport and leave a level if they are.

Slingers hit hard, as do mountain ogres, but not hard enough to do Big Vis in. Unfortunately, I've run out of room to improve my Jousting skill, but look! Shiny! It and Black Blessing took me through most of the ogres, chugging !CCW and using the staff when not stunned. Still no result out of bookstore investment, but I got that int +3 out of the magic shop. Potion of strength from the Mountain Ogres, the quest reward was a sword of slay animal. Sigh.
Still, it looks like it's going to be a while before my next spellbook, so I'm going to take it slow and keep questing. The cash is useful, and fighting OOD monsters makes for good XP. Is there anything I should be looking out for beyond some resistance armor? I'm just barely in artifact depth now.

A source of basic4 resistances is useful, but you can get by without it until dlevel 40-50 (2000-2500'), if you are careful.
You might consider not taking quests for a bit, and instead diving a bit. Overall drop quality should increase, I expect.
With the wands you have, and some recharging scrollls, you can probably go a fair amount deeper. You're also pretty close to genocide, which you can use to clear Vaults and the like.
Watch out for any source of teleport other, basic resistances, confusion, and blindness. Apart from that, stay alive, and keep your con as high as possible.
Finding a swap for FA and a better ring for Protection would be good.

I've had a lot less time to play, but moving past the black knight quest (and on to manticores, which I expect will be much akin to chimeras and gryphons: Hard to detect, hit hard, but are cake if you have some time to zap them from range) helped. Some scumming around led me to read an unided scroll of acquirement and get a wisdom potion out of it, but the main issue is, atm, gear. Do I wear the ring of nether resistance and use the FA gloves? Or do I use the slaying, ring of FA, and suck up the casting penalties like I've been doing? Still haven't covered the base 4 resists, so I'm starting to seriously consider armor crafting. All I've ever really crafted have been arrows or potions for burglar types, most of which haven't gotten that far. Worth it, and can you ever buy the materials?
Also, just how much do I have to invest to see a freaking dungeon book in the shop? I'm tired of having 5 spells to be learned staring at me in the face, but i'm worried about diving more until I've at least got the basic 4 covered. Rods of frost bolt may be sell fodder because the dazed effect has been way more useful than I expect 1d8 of damage to be.

The bookstore is pretty hard to get dungeon books from. I'm not sure how much you need. I pretty much always get books from the dungeon. check store.c for more info.
1d8 damage? They should do a lot more than that.
Personally, I'd leave the ring of nether resist at home for a long while. Those are some seriously good gloves of power. Hold onto them, but use FA gloves for now, and swap in Nimloth to cover resist cold. Look out for elec resist. The brand on Nimloth should make it comparable to balli stonehand, I expect.
Hold onto the rods. I expect they're actually pretty good, damagewise.

Berserkers were, as assumed, glass cannons. Mental awareness meant only 5 of them ever reached me, and mists of death cleaned up everything else in my way. quest reward was useless, so I may drop the constant questing and drop down to around 2000 for the scrolls of acquirement. I'd like to see how useful *enchant weapon* is before I play around with any crafting, as I kind of regret those 30 skill points of infusion and 20 of stealth looking back.
It's not 1d8 but 1d8 more damage comparing the lightning bolt and the frost bolt rods, or at least it was before I upgraded to the new unofficial bugfix version. Haven't checked snce then, as I haven't used them much except as blind shots down hallways to finish fleeing enemies.
In the long run, I think my compulsive recovery of drained xp and stats has killed a lot of these turns, town-scumming for the right potions and once recently WoR scrolls. No doubt my tunneling for gold and resting a lot messes with it too. Beyond that, I wasted a fair amount of gold in investing in the bookstore with nothing to show for it. the only shops I've really gotten much out of have been the temple and the alchemy shop for statpotions and healing, with a couple of lucky buys from the armor store.
Complaints from the new version: The investment screen doesn't work for imported characters, at least in that I've never seen how much I have invested in a store, and I liked the old boulder look more than the new #. I've gotten used to the new town look, though.
