YAVP: a MiBe cleaves his way to 15 runes, Trog/TSO

[drag0n]

This was my first win using an axe. My notes:

• Trog makes the early game almost too easy, but his wrath is crazy. I killed all the pan lords and big uniques without much trouble, but Trog's crazy giants took me within an inch of my life. That guy really holds a grudge!
• I found crystal meth armour just laying around. I don't think I've seen it before except as an Okawaru gift.
• Cleave is awesome. It encourages reckless behavior -- why lure these stone giants into a corridor when you can cleave them all at the same time? Great fun.
• After reading one of cerebovssquire's recent posts, I had TSO bless my longbow instead of my axe. It was great, particularly for those horrible fiends, hellions, neqoxecs, and cacodemons. For the big bosses like Antaeus and Asmodeus I used my anti-magic executioner's axe.
• I got the best item ever from a scroll of acquirement: +0 cap "Upothruir" {rF++ rC++ Str+1}
• Oddly, I found two manuals of dodging early in the game.
• There's a new feature in the trunk where you can turn auto-pickup on and off from the "\" screen. This is the greatest thing ever. That and auto-sacrifice.
• I still hate the abyss, but I feel like I'm getting send there (and dying there) less frequently.
