  Another winner.  It does seem that Half-Troll Priests are THE thing to play--
they have TONS of HP, and if you are patient, you can get one with 18 Str and
18 Wis to start.  He never found a permanent speed item, or even had his Wis
up to 18/100 naturally (found a nice Amulet, though).  Just laid down a single,
unbroken Glyph (BOY are those handy!) and Orbed the poor B until he croaked.

  Used 2 potions of Restore Mana, and 3 Potions of Cure Light Wounds (Blindness),
as well as 2 potions of Invunerability, and a Staff of Speed was emptied.  Never
used the Drain Life---the Orbs are much more effective and don't give the B
too many HP.
