There were no monsters in sight!
(Full: http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/morgue/sm ... 115750.txt)

Here goes my 4th 15-rune win. First species I ever played were Felid, Ogre and Octopode (I guess I didn't like the armour/weapon management :) ), so I wanted to try finally win with one of them.
This actually wasn't my first game of OgHu, I failed a few before that, most notably this one:
Lots of bad mutations, teleportisis killed me. I tried to to switch between amulets when I saw someone who can mutate, but they mutated me faster! Really Bad idea!

I began as Hunter for obvious reasons (giant rocks) and also obviously used mostly Maces (clubs, giant clubs! With SPIKES!).
I choose Qazlal as my god, my last character was small and sneaky Kobold, so why not go really big and loud this time. Also he could help me with defences, if I didnt find good items for resistances. Plus the invocations were useful at times.

Maces, Fighting, Invocations for good succes rate and Armour / Dodging after I found armour were no-brainer, but you might ask why I trained Spellcasting? And my answer to that is that I didn't just train Spellcasting, I maxed it first!! I really wanted that awesome title of Ogre Mage! :) Okay I just stopped training other things around 26 and my favorite spell was GIANT CLUB into the face! But got Spellcasting first, I'm Ogre Mage goddamit!
Later I add little bit of magic, classic Charms + Translocations. Controlled blink was especially useful.

Mutation problem, didn't expect it to be such big wall of text! I'll just put it into spoiler.
Spoiler: show
Now big problem during this game were again mutations. I went through whole Dungeon, Lair+branches, Orc+Elves, Vaults1-5+Crypt and Zot1-4 and I haven't found a single Amulet of Resist Mutation.
Trove wanted 6 blink scrolls, which I didn't have, so I tried Slime pits. I went through Slime pits few times encountering just few Shining eyes before. Well not this time, I gained few mutations there and again, no rMut in the treasure!
  Code:
118128 | Slime:3  | Gained mutation: You are dopey. (Int -2) [a shining eye]
118129 | Slime:3  | Gained mutation: You are very dopey. (Int -4) [a shining eye]
118817 | Slime:4  | Gained mutation: Space occasionally distorts in your vicinity. [a shining eye]
121967 | Slime:5  | Gained mutation: You are weak. (Str -2) [a shining eye]
122202 | Slime:6  | Gained mutation: Your body is slowly deteriorating. [a shining eye]
123351 | Slime:5  | Gained mutation: You are agile. (Dex +2) [a shining eye]
123353 | Slime:5  | Gained mutation: You expend magic power (3 MP) to slightly strengthen your wands. [a shining eye]

So I tried Vestibul of Hell, another mutation!
  Code:
124272 | Hell     | Gained mutation: Your magical capacity is low (-10% MP). [a cacodemon]

MIght as well try Abyss and Pandemonium right? Yeah, more mutations. (As you probably guessed I also didnt have any cure mutation potions)
  Code:
128257 | Abyss:3  | Gained mutation: Your spells are a little easier to cast, but a little less powerful. [a neqoxec]
128734 | Abyss:3  | Gained mutation: You expend magic power (6 MP) to strengthen your wands. [a neqoxec]
129030 | Abyss:3  | Gained mutation: Space sometimes distorts in your vicinity. [a neqoxec]
129506 | Abyss:3  | Gained mutation: Your spells are easier to cast, but less powerful. [a cacodemon]
129658 | Abyss:3  | Lost mutation: You are agile. (Dex +2) [a neqoxec]
130823 | Pan      | Gained mutation: You are weak. (Str -2) [a neqoxec]

At this point I had only Demonic rune from Pandemonium, I really thought I will need to end it right there. But then I got a briliant idea, Ziggurat! I've never been in Ziggurat, but I heard you can find really good items there! So I went in and it was really worth it. Found several cure potions and great rMut amulet there ( {rMut rElec MR- Slay+3 Stlth+} ).
  Code:
134100 | Zig:1    | Entered Level 1 of a ziggurat
134455 | Zig:5    | Lost mutation: You are very dopey. (Int -4) [potion of cure mutation]
134455 | Zig:5    | Lost mutation: Your magical capacity is low (-10% MP). [potion of cure mutation]
134455 | Zig:5    | Lost mutation: Space sometimes distorts in your vicinity. [potion of cure mutation]
134455 | Zig:5    | Lost mutation: You expend magic power (6 MP) to strengthen your wands. [potion of cure mutation]
134455 | Zig:5    | Lost mutation: Your spells are easier to cast, but less powerful. [potion of cure mutation]
134907 | Zig:8    | Lost mutation: You are weak. (Str -2) [potion of cure mutation]
134907 | Zig:8    | Lost mutation: You are dopey. (Int -2) [potion of cure mutation]
134907 | Zig:8    | Lost mutation: Your spells are a little easier to cast, but a little less powerful. [potion of cure mutation]
134907 | Zig:8    | Lost mutation: Your body is slowly deteriorating. [potion of cure mutation]
134907 | Zig:8    | Lost mutation: You expend magic power (3 MP) to slightly strengthen your wands. [potion of cure mutation]
134976 | Zig:9    | Identified the amulet "Xob Iskio" {rMut rElec MR- Slay+3 Stlth+} (You found it on level 9 of a ziggurat)
135432 | Zig:11   | Lost mutation: Space occasionally distorts in your vicinity. [potion of cure mutation]


After that I didnt really have much problems, had to teleport once away from Lom Lobon and Asmodeus, but other then that I pretty much killed any other boss in straight man-fight.
And that says something, Giant club is great and so is Golden dragon armour! And of course Giant rocks + Portal Projectile if you really want to kill something behind other monsters.

Don't know what I'll play next, maybe Octopode or Felid? How would I play them for 15-rune win? Probably as conjurers right?
Message above may contain pretty bad english, sorry.
5 Wins (3 rune: MfGl, 15 rune: HEHu, DgEE, KoAs and OgHu)
also DrCj(9 runes, died)
and GhWr (11 runes, dumbest death in extended yet!)

Re: YAVP: OgHu of Qazlal, they don't make shoes of my size :

Ziggurats are indeed lucrative, and it was rather unlucky that you didn't happen upon a rmut amulet all game.
