 11869 | Lab      | Mangled by a minotaur


So there I am, wandering around the dungeon, magic darting everything in sight, summoning my imp cohorts, and pumping up spellcasting in an effort to game Sif piety later on. With swiftness, blink, conjure flame and mephitic cloud I figure labs won't be a problem.

I wander my way through labs and all of a sudden I hit 'l' and accidentally hold the button down. As luck should have it, I run straight into a grumpy minotaur wielding a +12,+6 whip {drain} humorously named 'Success'.

Oops.

Re: YAVVSD -- Killed by Success

in labyrinths (and other circumstances, but moreso here) it pays to explore with the shift key on, as it doesn't work when a monster's on sight.
totally unrelated: i lost a VaSu yesterday when a minotaur took me from 45/60 HP to death in one turn. :(

Re: YAVVSD -- Killed by Success

In labs, it pays even more to know where you can expect the minotaur to spawn. Pay attention to the wall around you - they change from rock to stone to metal the closer you are. If you are in a metal-wall area, be careful - the minotaur can be found behind every corner.
... and forgive us our YASDs,
As we forgive our developers,
And lead us not into the Abyss,
But deliver us from Sigmund,
For Thine is the Roguelike,
the Orb and the Victory,
now and forever.

Oh. I was fairly certain that the minotaur was going to be there when I got mangled. When I rounded the corner, the Minotaur was on the absolute edge of my LOS. It was a misstroke and nothing less. :?

Re: YAVVSD -- Killed by Success

Wish there was some kind of toggle setting that lets you move unless there is a monster in sight (1 square at a time) instead of holding shift :(.

I've had the same a few times, it's bad. But i guess also part of the game ><

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
