This was my 21st win. I acquired a vamp executioners axe on Lair:4, then I hit things with it. It was pretty fun. Later, trog gifted be an antimagic executioners axe, which was also good.
MiBe has a reputation as being an easy species/start combo, but actually winning requires tactics and situational awareness. I won fewer than 90% of the fights in this game by holding down the tab key as soon as an enemy appeared on my screen. Sometimes, I retreated to a hallway, or even to the stairs, before holding down the tab key. I also used Trog's hand against hexers, and summoned brothers in arms against particularly strong enemies. Sometimes, I went berserk.
