The pre-emptive callout thread

[daniel_charms]

Crawl has been excessively kind to me today and I've got a nice DEFE of Ashenzari currently rolling in trunk that, knowing the way I play, will sooner or later meet a particularly stupid death, so I'm pre-emptively posting it here so that I would think twice before doing anything stupid:

Highlights so far (I've just started the descent into Lair) include:
- the sabre of speed that I'm wielding - found it on D:1
- a vault with a portal mimic pretending to be a labyrinth entrance on D:5 - it crashed the game the first time encountered it, so I had to reload and kill it again. The vault contained three or four books and that ring.
- a lucky scroll of acquirement that gave me those boots.

Sadly, I was right. Killed by a blink frog in Lair 3 - "10 HP left? Hmm, should I use a potion? Naah, I'll take this last frog out and then rest it off..."
