OK somebody mentioned something about killing asps at level 9. That's fine
but you can do so much more than that, if you use your spells and pet
rightly. At level 9 you should be going after yellow cons with your pet and
casting clinging darkness then going in melee till half life, backing out
and casting your lifetap spell until full life then go back in and melee
some more and just keep doing this. Once you hit level 10 though you can go
kill dervs and I would suggest you do that, though take only equal or less
cons. Once you hit 12 though you can handle anything but thugs, by casting
englufing darkness and heat blood and then just letting your pet attack and
at the end of the fight get in one lifedrain. At 13 you can take thugs out
if your careful though by 14 you should be taking all dervs, at least in
North Ro the only derv camp I've hunted at. Anyway just some advice for you,
that I found out the hard way.
