	*Do Zot:1-5 exempting the Orb vault. You want mutation resistance, poison resistance and insulation in your active gear, or pain (and death) will ensue. By this time Draconians and Dragons should have nothing on you, kill them quietly. Orb of Fires always are trouble, but Dragon Form+Haste+Repel Missiles (again) will do the job against a single one or two. If you cannot reach the Orb of Fire or if several show up, hide and/or make a run for the stairs. In general explore very carefully here, retreat ''(behind a corner)'' when you find enemies and kill them one by one. Do not enter the vault chambers until you have drawn most of the resistance out and killed it.		*Do Zot:1-5 exempting the Orb vault.

	*''No HP from potions or wands''; kind of bad, but usually you should avoid situations where you have to rely on these anyway.

Keep one or more on your person if possible.		*''No HP from potions or wands''; kind of bad, but usually you should avoid situations where you have to rely on these anyway.

			==History==
			In 0.15 Item destruction is gone and autoidentification has been added for all items, thus greatly reducing the charm of "Identify foo" as scrolls of Identify are more than common after the early game.
			In 0.13 Traps was removed as a skill. Now only Ash offers significant boni for not running into traps.
			In 0.9 The XP-system was changed, severly weakening Ash's Transfer Knowledge skill.
