Started troll paladin, wat do
I kinda accidentally obtained gills, intrinsic invisibility and a ring of djinni summoning without intending to all at once on a female chaotic troll paladin. Troll paladin was a completely random roll so now I have pretty much every good skill except Alertness and Find Weakness.

I have never beaten the game before or been past the temple of water.

Do I attempt an ultra ending or just trudge on as normal? I've already given the amulet of life saving from the ring of djinni summoning to Khelevaster and am only at 2 corruptions with Perion's and a two handed sword of parrying with the black torc on my neck and working towards Immune to Pain. I also managed to convert the altar in dwarftown and use my speed and a key to lock Ruun in the ogre caves, but beyond Perion's and this two handed sword, I don't have anything remarkable going on here. Troll is still stuck at level 10 and can't do arena.

Non-assassin troll ultras are extremely tedious, as you are required to reach level 45. The ordinary chaos god ending is still a reasonable option, but I wouldn't recommend it for your first win.

I would suggest continuing by clearing some of the easier random dungeons (moldy, shadowy, putrid, sinister) for XP. Once you reach level 13 you can head to the pyramid and kill some mummies for mummy wrappings, which will cancel out invisibility, letting you finish Thrundarr's quests. Big Punch plus whatever shield you've found should be a nice upgrade over the two-hander.

After that you should be fine to proceed to Fungal Caves (coward + wand of fireballs for the boss), Pyramid, and the dwarven graveyard. Then Darkforge, tomb of the High Kings, and Water Temple should get you in okay shape for Tower of Eternal Flames. If you're not crowned yet, consider switching alignment so that you can do the Ice Queen quests.

I have an adamantium medium shield with a +10 DV/+2 PV partially offsetting the issues with Big Punch and it would be a damage upgrade over the two hander, which I was wielding to put out better damage than a plain mithril flail or various daggers (my bloody dagger got destroyed early on or I'd have considered two weapon fighting and dual phase daggers). I also completely forgot that a 31 strength totally invalidates weapon weight concerns and lets me throw heavy things like rocks and anvils as ranged weapons.

This seems like a good plan, the vast majority of my ADOM experience is back in the ASCII days so I forgot about the XP dungeons on the surface. I should go check them out to try to pump up my DV to where aging and corruption are less of a threat. Thanks.
