Yendor really helps with food, and today was much tighter than yesterday... Labyrinth is pretty bad for goat exploration because you really want to be able to reveal nothing but empty squares that might contain monsters when you're low on food, and there's walls everywhere (often you're spending 3 food for 1 chance at a monster). Also helping for food today was Earthmother and TT, both providing extra XP for popcorn, so there was more than enough bonus for even us non-power players to level way up without stretching for big kills (IMAWAL is a bit of a trap as you don't need here it for XP or for piety with Earthmother... using it on food could starve you, and using it on plants could trap you). So not to different than yesterday with the balanced dagger.
Still it wasn't a bad run again... I would have gotten Hoarder again if I hadn't converted the Sigil (so I managed both bosses without a goat fill-up... but I would have had to use at least one if I had bothered to clean up the rest, which I did do yesterday). Poor Tomithy... never got to hit me (thanks TT for the 2 sets of potions before I leveled back into Earthmother), unlike Rex that got to do that once (before he became unreasonable).
