This death was an abrupt surprise. I was fighting a wave of monsters that gushed out of a vault, not taking any significant damage myself. Monsters were getting tormented and poisoned by a cloud. Battle was quite comfortable. Random moth of wrath appeared from behind, I was fine with the chance of getting berserked by it: till this moment I was sure you can't pass out from exhaustion if your last action was an attack (I have no idea why). I did get berserked, killed a lot of stuff with my sceptre of Torment and I did pass out in front of almost dead eight-headed hydra. Bitter defeat.
All this wouldn't happen if I adhered one of main Crawl tactics: splitting monsters out. I my defence I'd like to say that I used aoe items: wand of clouds and sceptre of Torment. (And jeez, always luring monsters away is really tedious thing!)
Well, at least I busted my false belief.
