So here I am, trying out Nemelex decks while an elephant is charging towards me. No problem, I'm a Spriggan, I can run away whatever happens. I turn into a bat: this carries -5 Str to it. I collapse (paralysis) because I am at 0 Str. While the elephant is stomping on me. It's a miracle I survived (paralysis = shit EV) given I collapsed a couple more times even after I immediately cancel the transformation. I'm ok now, I can run away again.

Up until this point, the exciting moments were:
- Finding the En starting book so early. I am now a SpEE+En.
- Lair:1 Labyrinth, finding it while trying to not wake things up (i.e. walk around monsters, backtracking if blocked off).

I got trolled by a bazaar. The shop mimic wasn't so bad. The "this is the book you always wanted, oh but it's priced just higher than your current holdings" - when I specifically ran back to read an acquirement scroll (gold) WAS annoying. Oh well, I got the Cj starting book instead, time to play around with blind-stabs. Oh and a huge boost in food stocks. I wasn't concerned about running out of food despite spamming Invis for most hard fights but this has sealed the deal.

Oh and I got the "frost giant is the last boss" Ice Cave. I flew over the river from behind and ninja'd his loot. My stabbing wasn't awesome back then so I just left him asleep after stabbing all his pets that weren't sleeping in his LOS.

YASD by hubris. No, being a Sp with 25 EV doesn't mean you can just sit there, throwing away all your mp at other things, while 2 leaping spiders are attacking you. The sort of death that happens when you have so many options available to you.
