Really stressful run. I was very close to losing (had to drink all my potions and start converting off pretty much all my gear just to avoid starvation). I had to take a lot of piety loss from both TT and Mystera because I couldn't pick which monsters to kill (as in, I didn't really see any monsters for the first couple of dozen tiles, and then I had to take whomever I saw). Really nasty layout.
Spoilers:
Goat-interactions 101:
1) if you explore a tile you consume 1 food, if you don't have any food you lose 1 tile's worth of health (=level) & 1 mana. Losing all your mana won't kill you, but losing all your health will.
2) LEMMISI works straightforwardly: you cast it, and then get 3 tiles' worth of exploration. Whether you have food determines whether each of these explored tiles regenerate (or drain) your health & mana.
3) BLUDTUPOWA has a bit of a specific interaction! If you have food when you cast it, it costs you 1 food, and for that you "explore" 3 tiles without further cost (losing health & gaining mana). If you don't have any food when you cast it, you need to "pay" for the explored tiles as if you explored them normally. So you will lose a *lot* of health and gain no mana. Be careful!
"Thinker", just without the "ache".
