YASD: streak ending OpWz
- OpWz^Zin should net me major points and extend the streak to 7
- Slight hiccup on the stairs to D:4: a large gnoll pack, one with a halberd of venom, others with regular halberds. Immediately went back up
- The next stairs to D:4 landed me on the other side of the same gnoll pack. Even worse, an orc priest was in view too. Even worse, I was instantly netted and hit for half my hp, and poisoned! My only resources were 3 potions of curing and the spell blink at 10% fail. I knew I was about 99% dead. The only thing I could do was blink out of the net, quaff curing, and blink more. Truly miraculously, after several blinks (that all landed me in the middle of the gnoll pack and still in view of the orc priest) and using all 3 cures I somehow made it to the other stairs (the first stairs I'd gone down). I had like 14 hp, with the orc priest and halberd of venom and another gnoll with a halberd all in range of me. I ascended the stairs knowing I had about a 90% chance of dying.
- Unbelievably, I made it up the stairs with 2/37 hp. Aliiive! This might have been the single luckiest escape I've ever had.
- Fast forward to spider. Zin is actually helping out a lot here with vit. I have a trident of venom plus battlesphere and ozo's armour, and a blowgun.
- I clear spider:5 except for that rune vault that's packed solid with hornets, ghost moths, and emperor scorpions.
- I set them loose planning to pick them off one by one
- At some point later I find myself faced with 2 emperor scorpions and a hornet, while I'm at full HP. The hornet is 2 squares away and I have battlesphere up. Foolishly I decide to shoot the hornet with IMB. All I had to do was use vit to protect against the hornet's paralysis, but I didn't.
- Hornet takes a step forward. hits me, that one hit paralyzes me for 4 turns, and I die after 3 turns. Zin saves me from death. I die again, for real.
