RPM: Role Playing Madness

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man oh man. I got a little too eager to leave the Iselian Forest and I made an even bigger mistake than not killing all the monster rabbits for the extra XP. I didn't kill the Rabbit King to get the Helm of Fortitude. Without the Helm of Fortitude's +20 increase to my resistances to cold and hunger, there is no way I am going to be able to make it through the Purging Wastes to fight Iggryll the Frost Wyrm. The only way I can ever max out my Sword of Unknown Spinesaw is if I kill Iggryll without anybody in my party, which is already nearly impossible to do, but if I can't even make it through the Purging Wastes (and kill all the Blind Sasquatches within) then I guess I should just get rid of the SUS and just play this damn thing like a newb and go find the fucking Hammer of Gold Barb or some shit like that. Hell, I might as well restart as a level 1 ninja.
