YAFAP: Crawl 0.11.0 Dungeon Sprint

[Zeitgeist]

Huzzah!
I've finally beaten the Red Sonja dungeon sprint!

I tried many different combinations, but found that nothing else had the
staying power of Troll Berserkers. It took many, many tries to get
the Orb of Zot, but a lot of the later deaths were learning experiences.

For some reason, most of the weapons that I either found, or Trog gifted
to me, were inferior to just using my claws.

My basic strategy was this:
* Defeat Ijyb, the ogre, Sigmund and the jelly, with healing breaks
between each creature.
* Use Trog's berserking power to defeat the tougher creatures.
* Use doors to block off creatures line of sight.
* Shout at the centaurs, then lock the door, so they don't have a
chance to fill me full of arrows.
* Kill all the creatures to reach the huge row of shops.
* Try to find the following items:
- A wand of digging
- A source of poison resistance
- A source of see invisible
- As much fire resistance as possible
- Two scrolls of blinking
* Approach Sonja from the side, after closing doors behind me, so she
can't blink too far away.
* Use a friend from Trog to help me defeat the demonic crawlers.
* Use the wand of digging to free the Daeva.
* Lure away the fire giants one by one, hide behind a door, then
berserk to kill them. Eat the corpses if available.
* Blink across the gap to reach the Orb.
* Grab the Orb, blink back and get the heck out of there!

Congrats!

Given how quickly I get shredded on this, I'm amazed that it's even
possible...

Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of
this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.
