HaBe - bizarrely easy
http://pastebin.com/Bb8Xk2wL
My first 'completely clean' win (I've won before on a game for which I made saves but never loaded them) - I think Slime and Abyss at least would have been purely formalities, but I wanted to get it over with. Extremely easy compared to my other games, probably because of all that slaying+antimagic. I wasted 25 levels of XP on slings, which I never needed, but I could still tab ancient lichs and orbs of fire without worrying (assuming I'd gotten them away from the lungs, which were all awake thanks to a Guardian stepping on an alarm trap). I tabbed through Frederick without even noticing until I'd killed him, and I killed Boris with no keys other than tab and no meaningful HP loss. Funnily enough, the only things that ever really worried me in Depths were tengu reavers and titans, because EV doesn't help against freezing clouds or airstrike... Finding a good conservation amulet was a real bonus in terms of headaches saved, because I no longer had to worry so much about 'taurs or draconians. In summary, ev rocks, slaying rocks, and I'm not going back to LOBes for a long time yet.
