This is really the issue, I think -- the rest of the game is closed
off until you manage the tower of eternal flames. I typically don't do
it at level 21, just because I rarely make it that far without being
significantly higher level. You must be playing more efficiently than
I do. It sounds like the big thing you need is more sources of fire
resistance or some source of fire immunity. What items are you wearing
that confer fire resistance? Do you have intrinsic fire resistance
(say, from eating fire lizard or red dragon corpses)? You need four
items that confer fire resistance, or two such items plus intrinsic
fire resistance, in order to avoid all fire damage in the Tower. (This
according to the ADOM guidebook, at least.) There are a few items that
confer fire immunity (I was lucky enough to find the ring of immunity
while digging graves in my current game) though you're much more
likely to find sources of fire resistance. If you're not taking
constant fire damage, you may have better luck against the elementals.
