Dwarf Crusader in Shifting Passages
Got lazy with wall control, Evolvia teleported behind a level 9 Goo Blob. I had converted WEYTWUT for inventory space. Damn I'm losing a lot lately, but I only have myself to blame for this one

Well, Shifting Passages was as painful as always. Only got through thanks to WIZARD.EXE with LEMMISI - would have died to wall-in and not had enough money for the final hour Agnostic's Collar into 100% Last Chance

Halfling Berserker, Western Jungle

So, you have an 50% magic resistant class on a map with a guaranteed magic-user boss, and you have several choices already at prep screen to guarantee hitting the cap on MR... A welcome respite from the last week's toughies.

Spoilers:

I went Binlor -> TT. Dodging plants gives a bit of TT XP, too bad Berserker is, like, the anti-PISORF class (ok Monk is even worse ). There were only a handful of magic-user monsters, so expect to have to do some non-magic user leveling kills (there are more ways to gain physical resistances today, I got a bunch of stoneskins by using Binlor's ENDISWAL, but I guess the preparation Witchalok Pendant or the Stone Skin boon could also help).

I think I appreciate Halflings even less than before; I actually would've preferred to play a Gnome today. Or, honestly, any other race... There's supposed to be a lot of synergy between Halfling and Berserker, but I ended up drinking all my Mana Potions (even buying and finding one extra each), and carried out all my basic Health Potions. Didn't even bother to convert stuff to get more.

I'm a day late, but my run in Shifting Passages yesterday was one of my cruelest dailies yet!

I really hate Shifting Passages anyway, since I'm careless far too often and have a terrible tendency to get myself trapped. So I started out pretty lacking in confidence for the run and actually had multiple close calls in the early going that I was really lucky to escape. (Like trapping myself in with a high level monster right at the start and just being lucky that the black space in the corner led to freedom.) Somehow I managed to work my way to the endgame, but quite a few of the tougher monsters were still standing when I realised I needed to get onto the bosses. i then had a big battle with Frank that used far more of my resources than I had hoped, but finally managed to defeat him.

My resources were low enough that I couldn't really afford to fight the remaining monsters and thus had to move right onto Evolva. At this point I didn't really see any hope beyond switching to Earthmother from JJ and clearing plants to get some mana. My luck held out as I got into my final attacks and had Evolva two hits from victory. I could only take one hit, but had just enough piety for one more slow from the Earthmother, so had my fingers crossed that the plants wouldn't appear anywhere inconvenient. So I hit Evolva and suddenly got confused as to why I couldn't return to the altar. After a little while blankly staring at the screen it turned out that Evolva blinked to one of only two squares on the board where she'd block me from even reaching the altar and so cost me my one hope at victory!

Story would be better if it was still yesterday and I remembered it better, but just had to spend my second post complaining a bit. And had a cathartic bit of revenge today with my angry halfling!

I got the top XP currently. I did Binlor -> TT, since I explored almost whole map at 1st level and prepped Elven boots my Mana got high enough that I wasn't really hindered by Berserker's flaw since I depended on leveling to fill my mana.
