Whew, glad it's over! And glad that I did not try to be brave and skip the preps that would give Yendor. Today's daily is really that hard, I would seriously respect anyone who can do it Purist!
http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.c ... D3C8C8D56/A little bit (3XP) off Vemb's top XP score, did manage to get top piety though. It's quite a weird combination today, using Balanced Dagger and Imawal to slowly level up. The end was quite "scary", one miscalculation would have ended my run. And I got lucky too with the Last Chance (at 13 piety) with JJ, allowed me to finish 1 last L8 mob.
[Anyway, about fall_ark's approach of prepping Binlor, I did think of it but decided against it. Binlor is normally good for Gorgon but not that useful in this map, lack of walls, too many plants. Well, Imawal allows making of walls from plants but I wouldn't have known beforehand. Also, you start in Binlor, you won't be able to benefit much, even if you manage to get some boons, it will be hard to get enough piety to avoid his punishment when you level up and also to convert out of him. Overall, very risky playing Binlor especially when you are that weak and wouldn't want to lose your physical resists from getting punished by him]
