this is the first character that i've got this far - am i ready to go to zot?
i've done most of dungeon; i've not done the hall of blades, the pits
(never found teleport control), and the tomb almost killed me on the
first level. i haven't ventured into hell or pandemonium either; i just
want a victory!
i'm very light on randarts, for some reason.
does anyone have any general tips for handling Zot and getting out again?
