Yeah, I've been spending forever on each level, staying there until the spawn rate is essentially zero. Now I'm kind of afraid I'll run into Izzy though.

Ah, I get it now. I thought there was probably a connection between it being on the same floor as the octiron trap room.

Banana growers won't help much. The best way to boost your Int & Wis at an early stage is simply, reading scrolls, books, and praying and offering. This will usually get you to about 20 for each. Only then is it worth science talking. Once you get to 20 Int/10 Wis, talk to the librarian. You'll see the boost immediately.

I think there was. But eddys can't set traps can they? I wouldn't be surprised if one just showed up, but this one was set.

Yes, obviously. I was up to about 38 in AStr and 20 in LStr and decided to just go artificial.

Edit:
Actually I remember exactly what happened now. My Int was 38 and I wanted to raise it to 40 so that I could turn my equipment into spider silk. I Socm'd all of my equipment into parchment, which was risky. It raised my Int up to 39. Now I just needed one more boost, so I decided to risk socm'ing my limbs into parchment as well. Luckily that brought me to 40 so that I could then harden everything to spider silk.

I didn't do nothing. The reason it wasn't working was you had an apostrophe in the URL.

Almost forgot

Bringing my final score to 21.

Aha, aha! Slob is wrong! I found an octiron trap lying around randomly. (See the bottom message line). However, it was on the same level of the octiron trap room, which provided 2 more. Making a grand total of 6 octiron traps now in my possession

I just kicked Sherry's ass. After some failed attempts to trap her, I finally decided to harden my trap into octiron and clone it. Then I set all 3 on the same spot (as well as a meteoric steel & mithril) and she got trapped. As she was trapped in all 3 octiron (she broke out of the other two pretty quickly), I walked up, and knocked off her limbs one by one. Her life saving gave her one last shot but at that point she wasn't able to teleport away and with another hit I slew her. Who's the queen of IVAN now, bitch?

Screenshots of my victory and equipment & inventory

Now I'm going to focus on boosting my stats. Wis needs to go way up, I'll try to get some angels for that. End needs to go up too. Also plan to get Permahaste, permainvisibility, permaESP, permainfravision if possible before I go for Elpuri. Then he should be a piece of cake and I'll proceed to Oree.
