YAVP! MfIE of Fedhas - 0 points of rF > 3 orbs of fire
http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/thecl ... 043408.txt
Despite the fact that I ran into a 2 separate groups of 3 orbs of fire, once without any rF on, I managed to pull off a victory. I had to swap between my crazy staff and my trident and stair dance a bit, but I managed to separate them and kill them. I had no channeling, so I burned through my pots of magic super-fast; I used 3 on a single orb at one point. I eventually had to leave the dungeon and run back to the Lair to grab some dragon armour, though.
I had 8 Oklobs set up on Zot5 and they destroyed all of them in about 5 turns as I was running away. I also had problems with monsters coming from the left side and running into my oklobs while I was on the right, so I used Rain to turn the choke on the left side of the entry to the vault into deep water.
Highlights:
By the end the only fruit left in the whole dungeon were the 4 strawberries in my inventory. This was the first time I had ever played Fedhas, that should tell you how powerful she is. Mushrooms and oklobs saved my ass so many times. Sunlight is not very good. Reproduction doesn't have enough range to be very useful, I found. Since I was meleeing a lot, the corpses that I wanted to turn into spores were right next to me and I didn't want to chance getting confused. I didn't use Rain much, since I had some food problems, because I didn't find any bee hives until I was like lvl20.
That staff was crazy, if I had found it earlier, I wouldn't have gone with polearms, but would have been more of a caster, instead of a hyrbid. I didn't really have enough killing power without my trident to do much with it.
My conclusion from this game:
WOOD FOR THE WOOD GOD!

Reproduction can be awesome but is harder to utilise than mushrooms and oklobs, at least for me. Good thinking on blocking one lung with water!
