YAVP - 6-rune (2xPan) VpFE of Ashenzari
VpFE. Another doomed combo, thank you RNG, with Vp's -3 Conjurations and -2 Fire Magic. I killed two in the early dungeon, but then one picked up Ash on D:3 and it seemed like if I could get the Ash skill boost rolling it might be less doomed. I got that around D:8, and then got Sticky Flame, then OTR on Lair:4 - and Sticky Flame and OTR will basically murder everything for a very long time.
I struggled on Swamp:2 - swamp dragons don't care about Meph Cloud or OTR and you can get poisoned horribly in the clouds - until it struck me I could just stay Thirsty and get rPois that way.
After that the next real problem was Lom Lobon, having scooped up the demonic rune without any trouble; I tried to get clever with phantom mirrors and the like but it turned out the actual answer was just to BVC them in place and hammer them with Iron Shot. I worked this out in time but I'd burned a lot of consumables and decided this was probably enough extended runes. I did scoop up the abyssal rune, landing almost directly next to a rune vault on A:3.
The orbrun was pretty routine; one panlord on U:1 who I evaded. I'm sure they used to turn up more often.
In terms of spells, Sticky Flame, OTR, and BVC did the heavy lifting.
