How to handle the trap in my way?

I have a question regarding the following situation. With my MiFi, I am on the way to my last rune, which is in tomb. On the first level, there is a 1-tile passage to the stairs. Directly in my way, there is first a Zot trap and some tiles after a teleport trap; there is no direct other way to the stairs.

So, what can I do to come to the second floor? My ideas are the following:
- random tele with the hope to somewhen come to the "inner ring", however, this is quite dangerous as there can by some greater mummies.
- control blink with the hope to come somewhen behind both traps; however, as a melee char, I first have to train translocation..
- finish game with 14 runes.. ;)
- other ideas?

Thank you.. ;)

-man mode, walk through the trap. Wear stasis to go through tele trap.

Re: How to handle the trap in my way?

In a one-tile hallway, a regular blink is going to be good enough. There's a limited number of possible tiles you could end up on, and if you go the wrong way you just walk back. If there's a single artefact with +Blink in the entire game, just use that. If not, you can just strip your armor to cast the spell, probably with Brilliance and/or wizardry helping so you don't have to train translocations at all. It's Tomb, so you know there won't be anything particularly unexpected interrupting you.

Translocations is actually a good skill to pick up on a 15-Rune melee type, but if you're already on the last Rune I wouldn't bother now.

I always teleport on Tomb:1 until I land in the inner ring when I have unlimited access of teleport evocation.

You can get past traps by standing next to the trap and doing a random blink. Blink will never move you as little as 1 square if it has the option to do otherwise; if you are standing next to a trap, a random blink will never put you on the trap.

Thank you for your answers!

A control teleport followed by a blink brought me into the right direction (behind the Zot trap), and there was an amulet of stasis in a shop on Snake:3; so let's see if I can get the last rune.. ;)
