-crawl- YASD TrFi no spells, wands, rods, weapons, gods al..

I was so damn sure that I have a winner...

It was just another TrFi of mine, yet with some restrictions, which
included absolutely no use of:
- spells
- wands / rods
- gods
- weapons (actually some of you may not find it troublesome, but
handling hydras clawhanded in the midgame isn't funny at all)

Early-to-midgame went smoothly, yet without any particular findings,
with an exception of two ?ofAcquirement found pretty early (D:, which
were both used on armor. The first gift was useless, but the second was
really great -Swamp Dragon Armor with resist cold and negative energy
and see invisible and +3 damage.I was quite afraid before trying to do
the Lair, mostly because of hydras. Luckily I had 3 potions of speed
and one of might and spend them all on four encounters with green D's.
The entrance to the Snake Pit, which was my primary goal, was on level
7. There I found yet another amazing armor suits, Dragon Armor and Ice
Dragon Armor, the second of which I enchanted and wore in the Hells.
There were also two amazing rings of slaying lying around somewhere in
the Vault. Overall, I've cleared literally every area before the Hells,
with an exception of the Tomb. Got runes from: Snake Pit, Vault, Swamp,
Slime Pit, Dis, Tartarus. And I wanted them all... Died stupidly on the
last level of the Cocytus (opened the main chamber and was welcomed by
4 Ice Fiends *and* the Boss. Killed the Boss only to be tormented to
death by the rest). I should have done it different way: clear my way
through all the levels till the last one and then come back with a
potion of speed and might. That would definitely help a lot.

All in all, it's doable and it's not that challenging at all with a
troll. Maybe I shouldn't have done the Hells - you have to be very
cautious about potions/scrolls in these area. Besides, last levels of
Cocytus and Gehenna seem to be much harder then other 2 areas. I think,
I could have easily managed to clear the Zot and return with the Orb,
if I wasn't that greed...

Don't know why, but all my pure fighters (Oki/Makhleb worshippers) seem
to be doing just fine, while I really can't get by with spellcasters -
they always die the most stupid deaths ever (like my last lvl 20 DeCo
blasted by the book of Annihilations, while failing to memorize few
times in a row the LCS - of course I *did* knew I need some practice in
Earth school, but somehow I didn't realize I hadn't done it yet...)

Anyway, here's the dump.

You are in the Vestibule of Hell.
You are not hungry.

Inventory:
Hand weapons
e - a golden staff
Armour
b - a +6 ice dragon armour (worn)
// The best thing that can happen to your troll is finding a suite of
dragon armor early on. Training dodging is easy, while armor needs
time. Nevertheless, having 10 levels in armor *and* 15 in dodging is
much, much better then 27 in dodging only.

G - the +2 cloak of Wonder (worn)
(You acquired it on level 5 of the Vaults)
It protects you from fire.
It enhances your eyesight.
It lets you turn invisible.
It lets you blink.
It lets you teleport.
// Nice compelled with my armor

W - a +2 cap of see invisible (worn)
Comestibles
d - a bread ration
r - 19 honeycombs
A - 19 royal jellies
D - a banana
Jewellery
a - the ring "Ylujuvucop Xil"
(You found it on level 7 of Dis)
This ring protects its wearer from the loss of their strength,
dexterity
and intelligence.
It greatly protects you from cold.
It insulates you from electricity.
// I was extremely glad, when I found it. No longer to be afraid of
electric golems in the Zot.

q - an amulet of rage
// No way... I forgot, I *do* have it!!!
s - a cursed ring of sustain abilities (right hand)
// Why am I wearing this and not the one above? I can't tell.
t - the ring of Integrity
(You found it on level 7 of the Elven Halls)
This ring allows its wearer to hover above the floor.
It affects your accuracy (+3).
It affects your damage-dealing abilities (+3).
It lets you teleport.
// I always have =ofLevitation with me, even if not in the
Hive/Cocytus, there is usually a place to use it.

y - a ring of life protection // useless
C - a cursed +3,+6 ring of slaying (left hand) // *precious*
H - a ring of teleportation //useless, I had the cloak
J - the ring "Apupufo"
(You found it on level 1 of the Snake Pit)
This ring makes its wearer either more or less capable of avoiding
attacks,
depending on its degree of enchantment.
It affects your evasion (+1).
It protects you from poison.
It prevents most forms of teleportation.
Protection from poison

N - a ring of sustenance
Q - a +0,+6 ring of slaying // another priceless one
T - the cursed ring of Shielding
(You found it on level 8 of the Vaults)
This ring allows its wearer to control the destination of any
teleportation, although without perfect accuracy. Trying to
teleport into
a solid object will result in a random teleportation, at least in
the case
of a normal teleportation. Also be wary that controlled teleports
will
contaminate the subject with residual magical energy.
It protects you from fire.
It has a curse placed upon it.
U - the cursed amulet "Res Lymo" (around neck)
(You found it on level 8 of the Vaults)
This amulet protects its wearer from mutations, although not
infallibly so.
It affects your damage-dealing abilities (+2).
It protects you from fire.
It has a curse placed upon it.
// Absolutely great, especially together with my cloak and armor!

// Overall, jewellery was extremely good this time. With those
=ofSlaying and the amulet I was +14 damage and could take down hydra in
two hits!

Potions
k - 12 potions of decay
Z - a potion of decay
Books
c - a manual of Maces & Flails

// found 4 useless (because of restrictions) manuals
