Got my first DrDK past level 7. Turned gray. Things were going swimmingly until I decided to melee a death yak with a sub 100 speed weapon. BAD IDEA! On a more positive note, Kiku's corpse summoning is all sorts of awesome.

After a few false starts, had a game where I had the luck of running into a goblin with a dagger of venom early on. Now I thought that was good luck, but it's nothing compared to what happened next. I met Pikel and Pikel's staff luckily zerked me. But that's not all. Pikel was carrying a +2 cloak of preservation. The best non art cloak in the game. GODLY LUCK! After that I even found a gourmand amulet, so this means I have two AK items already. At this point I'm mottled (sticky flame is awesome) and just entered the lair.
Lair clear. That was uneventful. Didn't even find a death yak.
After lair comes mines. Very uneventful until level 4. On level four rests Snorg. Thankfully I find him asleep. I go out of vision and memorize agony. Then I engage Snorg. Agony makes short work of him and he doesn't even zerk, but then while I'm fighting snorg, Rupert appears.
I think Rupert will be a pushover, but it turns out berserk Rupert is a force of nature. I eat all my scrolls of blinking and tele, and manage to escape with one health. After I heal up, I run into him again. Agony and a potion of might are able to do the job, thankfully he didn't zerk again.
With the money I got from the mines, I was able to buy a quickblade from a shop. I gave it the pain brand with Kiku's blessing. Now it's time to do the snake pits without PR which is ALWAYS fun ^^.
The number of near misses in snake:4 should have been a hint that doing snake:5 was a BAD idea. It turns out poisoned isn't really even a problem. The problem is hasted greater nagas with high damage weapons. They're like "screw orbs and poison arrows I'll just bash your face in" and so they did, gg.

Man no one ever told me that vampiric draining didn't work on efreets and hell hounds.
