Greetings all.  I am fairly new to moria . . . or at least doing this well
on the game :)

Well, it looks like I have a character that has a chance of taking on the
Big B, but frankly I don't know what I should be working on in terms of
things to be looking for.  I have succesfully made trips to about 1300' or
so before using Word of Recall back to the top.  

A couple things about this guy:  
   #1)  I know he is missing a book, I am still trying to find a replacement
   #2)  I know some stats are lower.  I am trying to fix those too
   #3)  I know the armour is damaged to negative 1, I am working on it

The biggest problem I have is strength.  8 is really bad but I didn't want
to pass up the INT and DEX scores so I need to get it raised.  What is the
bet way to do this?  With weapons or are there potions available?  I did
manage to find that amulet of the Magi at about 500' or so, and from what
everyone has been saying about it, I figure I should hang on to it :).

In any case, here is my character.  Suggestions would be most welcome.
Oh, I am running Umoria 5.4 on my PC at home using Linux, in case that is
important.
