After diving my way to the end of lair, diving through spider to get my first rune, and diving through vaults for the tier two bonus, I figured I should try to dive for the Zot20 bonus as well.
I made my way through Shoals, and was able to escape with the rune with some help from an invisibility potion. I tried to poke my head into Slime, but without rCorr I didn't stand much chance of getting the Slimy rune.
I was getting closer to reaching the level limit for the Zot 20 bonus, so I figured I should see if I could make my way to the Zot entrance before hitting XL:21. I dove through the depths using my magic mapping, and made it to the entrance to zot with only 25% of a level before hitting XL:21.
I could have switched to Jiyva and grabbed the slimy rune, but then I would have given up on the god bonus point. I could have went back and earned some exp and finished the game with Fedhas.
I decided to go all out and try for the abyss rune. I got lucky and found my way down to Abyss:3 without fighting a single enemy. A random abyss teleport put me outside of a rune vault. The rune vault was guarded by some lava and catoblepas. I was able to make my way through and grab the rune at XL:20 and 90% of the way to the next level.
The rune was behind a door in a single square, so I decided to wait in the vault for a random teleport, but it unfortunately never occurred. Slowly a few monsters started to show up, leaving skeletons in the doorway so I couldn't close it again. I tried to move down the hallway to close the other door, but I was quickly surrounded by a large group of enemies.
I died surrounded by enemies, and out of of healing supplies. At XL:20 and 95%, with 3 runes, and a clear path to Zot if I had escaped the abyss.
