	OH YEAH ! You should at least try. Think of all the prestige of a
HALFLING actually killing THE BALROG ! You'll be able to take half the
kingdom, HALF the princess, HALF the treasure, HALF the ... sorry just a
HALF-hearted attempt at getting a few HALF-priced laughs out of your post.
	Anyway, seriously, after looking at your character sheet, you should
try and find some speed items, and a general resistance item, denoted (R) in
its description. These would be very useful. Other good things include wall
builders, and teleport items. Anything else depends on your approach. I like
nuclear bombardment from orbit, afterall, it's the only way to be sure.

	YES ! But don't worry, your nearly 36th level already. And just
remember, Ancient Multi-Hued Dragons are worth LOTS of experience points.
How do I know, well prepare to swoon, but I have actualy managed to kill
THREE of the suckers ! Once with a ranger, once with a mage, and once with
a ROGUE. Sorry, only two times, I was joking about the mage (chuckle, chuckle
try and guess which one hasn't killed an AMHD, it should be easy!).
	And just remember that peasants in the town often hide some of the most
unusual creatures. You have to find out what by POLYMORPHING them to find out
what, but one of the little runts actually had an AMHD, which managed to roast
me nicely, thank-you so very much you Squinty Eyed Rogue !

	BTW Do have an item that lets you see invisible ? This is an absolute
must when hunting the Blarog as he has many friends which like being invisible.
