That's what I get for just C/Ping my post from the old thread.

I am definitely on this team, not entirely sure why there was confusion about this. I've got the team name in my RC file on CBRO anyway! Also, I'd be interested in maybe setting up an optional Discord since it seems pretty easy.

Advice for where to go next with this guy?

6 runes right now, having just conquered the Tomb mostly through being a giant scared baby with massive stealth running away any time more than one enemy was on screen. Taking a break from my preferred Ghoul Punchman of Chei in order to instead repeatedly turn a small purple dragon into a bigger purple dragon. Not really noticing a lot of difference with the new Transmutations spell rules, but maxed Unarmed combat and Cheistats will make up for a lot of ills. Also, Lesser Beckoning is completely insane and I never want to run a melee character without it ever again, holy poo poo.

I've only ever done Extended once (with a Ghoul, so I wasn't terribly worried about contamination at the time...) so I have no idea which of the Hells or Pan would be best, or if I should instead just take the Orb and go home.

I got Ash from a faded altar on an unarmed GhGl one time and all I came away with was a burning need for Ash to be able to curse my hands open. I suppose what I was supposed to do would have been to pick a weapon, but honestly I would have made the decision to give up my crossbow for the ability to get more bound. Maybe I just don't understand how you're supposed to play Ash.

My complete inability to get a rune with a primary caster will surely be an asset to this team!

Is switching to TSO worth it on this guy if I decide I want to go for 15 runes? Or is Qazlal going to be good enough? I've never actually switched gods or won with TSO before, but this would be like the third time I've done extended, and the first without Chei's panic buttons. As an aside, there's a holy trishula somewhere on U:3 from where Mennas rolled up on me, would that be a better option than my current glaives? I'm never entirely sure about how base speed vs. damage works out.

Edit: Never mind, I did not sufficiently appreciate how bad V:5 is when you can't escape.
