YASD:HuAr,random effects are not fun

[WingedEspeon]

Game started out well, I found a Nemlex altar on floor 1 in a diamond vault. Got to enjoy pulling the storm card on a pack of jackals I found Crazy Yiuf on D:3 and killed him at range with evoccables. I picked up his quarterstaff and wield id it a +4. I figured what the hell I'll only use it against things I can kill with evocable s if they go beserk. I got noticed by prince ribbit on D:4 and started madly drawing from my plain deck of war. Managed to draw illusion. My clone didn't have the sense to not hit prince ribbit with the staff of chaos. Prince ribbit went berserk on the first hit. As a last ditch effort I manged to get off three zaps of my wand of enslavement, all of which failed at 43% scusess rate. Sometimes Xom just decides **** that adventurer in particular.
