CIP SpWr^Zin (take 2)
Why Zin, you may say, the reason is I'd like to get a victory with every god, and Zin is among those left. From a purely flavorful point of view, Zin sounds horrible, as if someone took the worst of every existing religion and crammed them into one. Incredibly hypocritical? Check. Money hungry? Check. Hates all that is cool and different? Check. And that's just scratching the surface.
Still, from a gameplay point of view, Zin has to be done too, sooner or later, and I figured a Spriggan would minimize the annoyance (ban on some corpses) and reap the benefits - that is, reap the poor bastards that caught a recite status effect with my trusty blade.
So far, the game has been quite generous. I found this nifty randart:
A bunch of status effect-inflicting needles:
And some cool bling:
I also have a few rods, but I'm afraid their hunger cost is too high, and so far I've done without.
Early on, I also ran into a beneficial mut potion. Piety be damned, I quaffed it, and got wild magic. Not exactly the best for a warper, but I decided I'd roll with it. In Lair, I found some hexes books, and learned Confuse. I'm hesitant in investing much in hexes when later on they'll become useless, but so far Confuse has done a good job in complementing Recite - even with low skill, the wild magic mut in conjunction with the large int boost from the randart still makes for some decent power.
Interesting to note, in Orc I found a +2 antimagic scimitar, so I stopped training SBl just short of 14 and went training LBl. Also, I got banished in Orc:2, courtesy of a common grunt with a distortion weapon. I was level 14, so I thought I was done for, but on this guy it felt much more manageable. I found at least 7 gateways down before finding the exit (seriously; why is it that when I'm level ~25 and going for the rune it's always the other way around? Does the game do it on purpose, or is it just Murphy's law?) but left the place malmutation-free. I'm starting to like Zin a little bit, actually, being shielded from the most infuriating mechanic of the game certainly provides quite a bit of relief.
So this is the full log, and, as always, any advice is welcome (especially which enemies are going to be the hardest and how best to face them).
