YAVP: 15 rune, SpFi, no pesky magic

[starless]

- Probably the easiest Tomb and Hell runs. The Spriggan's speed allowed me to keep all the tormenting dudes out of LOS, and pelting with bolts everything that comes in sight.
- No rPois in the game until D:27. Had to do Swamp and Snake Pit without it.
- Never got to use a rod
- Took an escape hatch to Z:5 to see what happens and I found myself surrounded by 4-5 Orbs of fire, a few Ancient Liches and half a dozen Guardians.
- Zin + silver bolts make the Orbs of fire fights trivial.

Nice win.

Can you tell me a bit more about your god descisions this game? I see you only donated ~130 gold; did you switch to Zin late? If so, who did you follow before big Z and when/why did you switch?

[starless]

I started with Okawaru and then switched to TSO for Tomb, Hell and Pan. Then changed to Zin for Zot:5 and Abyss, because I wanted rMut without having to remove the amulet of Guardian Spirit.

It would have probably worked as well without switching to Zin (by swapping amulets), but I wanted to try it for this game.
