YAXD - same procedure as last year, Xom?

Yet Another Xom Death

Speedrunning is one challenge in crawl, playing a chaos knight (and keeping Xom) is another. Combining both, speedrunning with a CK of Xom, is something I did in some of my games. Of course, it would be more interesting if my boss wouldn't enjoy killing my chars...

The following was the last game in 2016 that I finished Xom finished:

  Code:

52 Turgon the Insei (level 3, -5/29 HPs)
             Began as a Demonspawn Chaos Knight on Dec 24, 2016.
             
             Slain by an iron imp (7 damage)
             ... summoned by Xom
             ... on level 2 of the Dungeon.
             The game lasted 00:09:17 (1042 turns).

I started a new DsCK in December, and after a break I continued today.

The same procedure as last year, Xom? The same procedure as every year, James!

So that's how I finished Xom finished my game today:

  Code:

99472 Turgon the Martial Artist (level 15, -9/124 HPs)
             Began as a Demonspawn Chaos Knight on Dec 24, 2016.
             
             Mangled by a wolf spider (20 damage)
             ... summoned by Xom
             ... on level 2 of the Spider Nest on Feb 18, 2017.
             The game lasted 04:16:49 (12216 turns).

Thank you, boss!

  Code:

 12149 | Spider:2 | XOM: confusion
 12206 | Spider:2 | XOM: summons 4 hostile shadow creatures
 [...]
 12213 | Spider:2 | //Famous last words: "Why did you do this, Xom?"
 12215 | Spider:2 | HP: 4/124 [meliai/divine providence[Xom] (14)]
 12216 | Spider:2 | Mangled by a wolf spider

No speedrunning here, but I think Xom went a little overboard:

  Code:

 Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15.0-8-gb109cf8 (tiles) character file.

465 Ockay the Slasher (level 7, -4/42 HPs)
             Began as a Tengu Chaos Knight on Jan 11, 2015.
             Was a Plaything of Xom.
             Slain by a Brimstone Fiend (9 damage)
             ... created by the severe capriciousness of Xom
             ... on Level 4 of the Dungeon.
             The game lasted 00:32:58 (4847 turns).

Ended a streak as well!

Brimstone Fiend on D:4 with XL 7 character? "Totally avoidable death, get good"

[MainiacJoe]

At least the morgue has the tact to say that the capriciousness of Xom was severe

I don't make a new thread, I just add this game.

My DsCK was fighting an orc wizard on D:6 and found himself in the abyss next turn. What?? Orc wizards can banish? Of course they can't. It was somebody else.

  Code:

  1582 | D:5      | Reached XP level 7. HP: 28/52 MP: 7/7
  1904 | D:6      | XOM: medium Tloc miscast
  1904 | D:6      | Cast into level 1 of the Abyss (the capriciousness of Xom)
  1905 | Abyss:1  | //what, boss?
  1905 | Abyss:1  | //at XL 7?


Well, it ended soon:

  Code:

  1997 | Abyss:1  | Paralysed by accursed screaming for 1 turns
  2001 | Abyss:1  | Paralysed by accursed screaming for 2 turns
  2004 | Abyss:1  | Killed from afar by a starcursed mass


Third game in a row that a DsCK was killed by Xom.
