jesus hecking christ, this last game.
decided to play as a Felid Berserker because i just wanted different kind of character than i usually play (though meleedudes). did not expect to even make it to Lair.
found early rings of +4 slaying and +4 AC which were amazing, but what really surprised me was just how strong FeBe as a combo was. Felid speed is absolutely insane, meaning you almost never get into a fight you dont want, and when you do get in a shitty situation nobody can ever seem to hit you! that plus high stealth allowing you to often kill a lot of enemies in one hit made for a very easy 2 runes.
the big issues was then what third rune to get. the Vault rune seemed like a bad idea, so i decided to go for the Slime rune, which i had only done once before with Jiyva as my god. i cleared most of Slime but then i saw TRJ and got scared and get the hell out of there
decided to go for the Abyssal rune after that. so i entered the Abyss and...
i accidentally entered Pan! a branch i had never even been in before...
killed the first Panlord by zerking him down, died twice to random stuff in the second Pan floor after which i decided to sneak around the actual Panlord and grab his Demonic rune (solving my third rune problem) and found an easy exit in the third Pan floor.
after that i did Vault5 anyway to avoid going into Zot without any spare lives. it was relatively easy, as was Zot (altho i did get some very useful commentator advice).
