-crawl- YASD in Zot

Well, at any rate, I now know it's possible. Things were going almost
too easily until I got to Zot. Between the melee prowess of a Minotaur
and the ability to summon 1's via Makhleb, I just about coasted through
the Lair, the Snake Pit, the Swamp, the Hive, the Orc Mines, and the
Vault. This was my first three rune game. In fact, it was the first
game where I managed to get a rune other than the serpentine. I managed
to survive 3 banishings to the Abyss this game. I even found a
relatively good cloak while I was wandering about.

My gold dragon armor served me well, although in the end, it made me an
easy target for an Electric Golem. I probably should have hung back and
summoned 1's to take care of it, but I decided to try going two rounds
with it in melee. I'm not terribly disappointed, it made for an
enjoyable few hours. Here's the dump.
