So I was working on some more Monk speedrun attempts (trying for a sub-13 and not having much luck) when the game gave me a 1-1 Jeweled Dagger! A 5-damage weapon right at the beginning of the run was a bit too tempting to pass up... though the lack of range was a bit worrisome, of course. ^^ But as it turns out, it wasn't the dagger's lack of range that ended the speedrun... it was the game deciding to send me a Green Bat. ^^;
Anyway, this green bat's RNG was being fairly uncooperative... and eventually, I decided to try a grenade instead. ^_^
So after defeating the green bat, I switched from a speedrun to a normal run... and the rest of the run went relatively well... at least until 4-3. ^^;
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The Green Bat was encountered (Zone 1, Level 3) at around: 1:53
The Green Bat was defeated (grenade!) at around: 2:59
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:05 1-1
0:13 Jeweled Dagger! Normally, I like to have a bit of range with Monk, but a 5-damage weapon could definitely help out a speedrun. ^^
0:40 Bright Torch
0:46 Mb: Direbat
1:01 Grenade Charm
1:05 1-2
1:17 Chainmail
1:22 Mb: Gray Minotaur
1:22 1-3
1:25 Ow. Paying too much attention to the minotaur and not enough to the bat. =p
1:33 Whoops, did I just block the path to the shop? =/
1:38 Hmm, I could dig up on the right side, but that'll take a while. I do have three grenades, though, so maybe I'll just use one extra... =p
1:45 Hmm, nothing I want enough to use my last grenade. ^^;;
1:53 Wait, did that bat just move diagonally...? Oh, it did! Green Bat! ^_^ Oh wait, better take care of these ghosts first... ^^
2:26 Okay, that takes care of the last of the other enemies... now where did that Green Bat go? ^.^
2:44 Well, this is taking a while... =p Actually, I have one grenade left... hmm, I wonder if I can do this right...
2:59 Heh, first time ever defeating a Green Bat with a grenade! ^_^

6:13 Ow. =p Started paying too much attention to the red bat, instead of staying focused on the mushroom and clone. =p
6:27 Cookies! =9
6:45 2-2
7:40 Cursed Heart Container. The map was really tempting as well... but with a short-range weapon, I thought the extra health might be more useful for survivability purposes, especially given that I'd already taken some careless damage in this run. ^^;;
7:53 Mb: Gray Minotaur
8:59 2-3
9:25 Mb: Red Dragon
10:00 Shield Spell
10:10 Potion!
10:45 Oh wait, I have the grenade charm... do I remember how to do this with grenades? Ummm, maybe I should just grab the heart containers rather than risk doing this wrong. ^^;;
10:49 Empty Double Heart Container
11:11 Z2B: Deep Blues 2
11:38 Ow, and ow again. =p

14:20 Mb: Gray Minotaur
15:03 Monocle

18:09 Magic Apple! =9
18:26 Mb: Green Banshee
18:31 Glass Slippers shattered! Was going to attack the ghast, then suddenly wasn't absolutely positive that the ghast would step onto the tile with the banshee's gold... so rather than risk stepping onto gold, I decided to retreat to the left instead... but unfortunately hesitated a bit too long. =p
18:50 Ow. What? ...oh, rotating bounce trap. =p
19:08 Z3B: Coral Riff 3
19:24 Flawless! Reward: Ham! =9

24:33 "You died! Press up + down to continue." Ack. =p Was planning to move towards the blademaster, then suddenly realized my timing was off by one, so instead of advancing, I sidestepped, and... ah well. ^^;
