I had a few really stupid deaths first. In one game I got a D2 Jiyva which made the early-mid game even easier than normal, but also led to one of my most stupid deaths ever. Getting annoyed with lag and autoexplore in Slime Pits, I started spamming directions and ended up killing a lone jelly. I've learnt that penance in Slime 4 is not a good thing. I had to take a break for a couple days after that one.
Also, like my mibe, I seemed to kill every character that got good loot (quick blade + pain is amazingly nice, until you get hellfired). I didn't get much loot on this one, I ended up having to use two rings of fire + rf+ robe in Zot 5, which hurts when a white draconian breathes you. I even found a trove which had exactly 0 useful things.
I found spen a bit harder than mibe mostly due to HP management, but still overall pretty easy. After getting killed by a 50 damage large rock and couple of hell fires, I started learning when to run. Apart from that, it was quite easy. I think the only thing that ever gave me trouble were shadow dragons in mid game.
I also learned that Shadow Creatures is amazingly good. I couldn't find much use for Agony though - I could easily kill everything living w/ a pain-branded dagger.
Here's the dump:
