A win, but have questions:

Given the gear shown, what should I do different? Does the scarf of repulsion stack with the +5 amulet of reflection. (Will admit Shoals was fun with all the dam range fighters dieing before I got there.)

Suggest for next combination to try? or should I try and do better than a 3 rune win?

The mutations are from neqoxecs, OoFs and a cacodemon. They tend to give bad mutations mostly. Where are your potions of mutation? They would have helped.

Repulsion gives Rmsl, which makes you avoid some missiles. Reflection can reflect those missiles you didn't avoid (by Rmsl or EV). So they do work together.

Imo you should have trained more Evo and should have used wands and misc evokables, they are great.

Try something completely different next, like a MfIE, DrSu, SpEn...

Which species, which background, which god, how many runes -
you'll have the most fun (and very likely do your best) when you pick what you like most!
