I was banished to the abyss by Erolcha, I managed to survive a fair bit due to xom's summons but eventually I died. On later dungeon levels do you commonly get banished to the abyss or is it just my luck? :cry: This is my best character so far and he was doing SO WELL, any tips to avoid getting screwed?

Re: YASD - TrCK banished to the abyss

Banishment is uncommon but that doesn't mean that being banished (or survival rate in the Abyss) is mostly up to luck. You can examine monsters (press x, then v on monster) to see if they have banishment (Erolcha, deep elf mages, deep elf sorcerors, deep elf demonologists, draconian shifters, Louise, wizards, I'm probably forgetting a few). If your MR is low (+++/++++ is good MR), run away. Monsters can't cast banishment unless they have a direct line of fire, so summoning spells and items (like elemental evokers or scrolls of summoning) are effective against banishers. Normal escape strategies like haste, blinking or scrolls of fog improve your chance of success as well. Often, you can use walls to your advantage while running away to minimise the number of turns a monster has direct line of fire to you. Swap in MR items you have. Invoke Trog's Hand if you are following Trog. Potions of resistance do not help.

Inside the Abyss, you can join Lugonu if you find an altar to her, and can then exit the Abyss instantly. Depending on how strong you are, and how bad your current god's wrath is, it might be a good idea to do this. In this case, your character wasn't strong enough for the Abyss and Xom wrath isn't that bad, so it would have been a good idea if you had found an altar.

Erolcha is a very dangerous unique and banishment isn't even the worst thing she can do (she can also cast very high-damage conjurations or paralyse you, which can both mean a higher chance of death). Most characters should run away upon first meeting her.

We can also mention some Ogre-mages (look at their possible spellsets, iirc, if they Haste their foes, they can't banish you for example)

Another way of being banished is distortion weapons, you can consider Sonja (and sometimes Psyche iirc) as potential melee banishers

Re: YASD - TrCK banished to the abyss

Also, if you get forced into the abyss, run away from everything (avoid fighting) that isn't faster than you, because fighting leads to more fighting and you can't easily replace the hp loss from that.
Also, be aware of what starcursed masses do - they split if they linger in your LoS, merge if you deal damage to them, and the more of them are in LoS the more 'psychic' damage they do per turn (with a chance of paralyze if there's, like, 6 or more). They're speed 10, so figure out if you can run from them, and if they need to die, make sure they die fast.
