"Smart", as in, like losing a character in Zot specifically due to blurry vision. Sure.
And on topic, go upstairs, clear Crypt:3 (use digging on the grates, one at a time), maybe hope for some better shield, as this one is mediocre. If there's none, dump your 7 ?EA into it. Then return to Zot entrance, use agility, invis (haste no longer contaminates, so it's safe), haste, swiftness and tele, then go down. Use !fog if there's a lot of monsters in LOS.After tele kicks in, maybe use digging if you land in somewhere not-safe. Also these:
- Code:
+2 pair of gloves of Parts Unknown {*Corrode Int+5 Dex+7}
are significantly better than your current gloves. The latter are okay to use through this ambush due to the curse toe, but after that you should switch.
