was doing extremely well, with an amulet of faith and an early quick blade gift from trog.
then i stumble upon a door mimic, which contricted me. and i thought, "oh cool i guess i can kill it quick enough before i get killed right?"
nope, my berserk was a little too late to save my halfling. any other things i could have done to save my character instead of berserking?

Re: [YASD] door mimic contriction, died a quick death

Generally speaking, you should identify wands as soon as you find them - against a wall, or a very weak monster. That wand of draining could almost certainly save your life. Teleportation is a good way to escape from constriction, because, like any other form of translocation, always breaks it. Anyway, as there are some turns of delay, you had to read one of those scrolls early.
Oh, BIA is always a good solution, if plan B is dying :lol:

Last advice: there's no point to wear a -2 pair of boots, they're only good to lower your ac.
screw it I hate this character I'm gonna go melee Gastronok

Re: [YASD] door mimic contriction, died a quick death

Mimics completely resist draining. That case aside, identifying your wands early is good advice.

Whops, I never had to use draining against to mimic, and neither I have bother to check if they're rn+++ :oops: Well, Identify wand anyway, usually they *can* be lifesaver :D
