That was a bit scary! Early game went well due to the large damage reduction with both shields, but I really had some problems juggling all my items and chose not to pick up BLUDTOPOWA, so I had to expend more food. Had to make due with WEYTWUT as my only combat glyph for a long time, and things started to get ugly around level 4 or so, where I was out of food. I even went to 4 HP two times just from exploring, and converted BTP and LEMMISI right off the ground to keep going, as well as my Soul Orb. Used 2 potions to discover and finally kill a lvl 5 goat in my weakened state. Right after leveling up from that, I found some popcorn again and then HALPMEH, so things were looking up a bit. Still very little inventory room though. I was in Taurog and killed some stronger dragons, so no net piety loss. At level 8, I started fighting Evlvia, and had to convert HALPMEH directly after the first hit because of 80% physres and no room for Fireball. Still, it went well, with the mysterious potion, one health potion and the use of 1 Clearance and entanglement. After that, I used a refill on Aequitas and bought Mage Plate and Schadenfreude with 3 Mana Potions left, so he went down very easily. Didn't even need to use another Clearance or Plantation with 20+ pools on the map. All in all, Elven Boots and JJ's mana increase made this map very possible.
