No potions of cancellation in inventory? Did you try to teleport away?

Tried to hop away; was a barachi. Turned to stone immediately after. I completely forgot about cancellation, because I am a doofus...

That was a fair death, there is your fault in being too greedy. You should have kept balance between attack and defence.

You die autoexploring to a centaur on D:2. Immediately after you go down the stairs, so you know that this is not a result of you being on the level for too long; a centaur just spawned naturally on D:2 and got the hit on you as soon as it came into view.

Hope your D:1 wasn't too exciting!

You are paralyzed. You survive. But you have been confused while you were paralyzed, so you die one turn after you got out of paralysis because you can't blink away.

Code:: 172570 | Depths:3 | Noticed Liniugad the pandemonium lord 172652 | Depths:3 | Noticed a seraph 172695 | Depths:3 | Noticed Dympalom the pandemonium lord 172765 | Depths:3 | Noticed Poatesai the pandemonium lord 172828 | Depths:3 | Noticed Jenolac the pandemonium lord 172841 | Depths:3 | Noticed Etiatusu the pandemonium lord 172843 | Depths:3 | HP: 3/231 [daeva/divine providence (13)] 172843 | Depths:3 | Annihilated by an Orb Guardian

Ever since the changes to monster generation came through, I have noticed far more out of depth monsters in the very early dungeon. D:2 centaurs (leading to one autoexplore death), D:2 worker ants, D:2 phantoms, D:2 imps, D:3 orc warriors, D:3 hippogriffs, D:4 hornet zombies, killer bees generally; it's not as if you didn't see these things before, but they seem to have become commonplace. It's making things utter hell for my barachi wizard attempts.

Friggin vampire on D:5.

When D:2 decides that it is, in fact, D:6.

EDIT: And the orc warrior had poisoned tomahawks, which two shot me. Because I was XL5, on D:2. I almost made it to the stairs, too.

Five teleports before I land out of my own los @_@

... I'm clearing out the orb chamber and suddenly stumble over Tiamat and her band.

I stumble upon a group of five wizards on D:9 that banish me as their first action.

Then I manage to defeat and escape enemies in Abyss 2 while lvl 11.

Then I find an exit, but get pulled away right as I move next to it.

Then I find ANOTHER exit, but get pulled away right next to it.

After 7 teleports, two near exits, and a number of abyss monsters killed and escaped, I finally died in a swirl of lighting.

I mean, REALLY?!?!?

When a 50% failure spell (due to draining) fails 10 times in a row.

I meet two dex sucking demons in a row and end up with -18 dex.

Code:: 11057 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak ... 11219 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak 11219 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak 11220 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak 11220 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak ... 11309 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak ... 11367 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak 11367 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak 11367 | D:9 | Noticed a death yak

The terrors of a D3 centaur, complete with distortion, and far from any staircase.

Code:: A centaur comes into view. It is wielding a falchion of distortion. The centaur unwields an uncursed falchion of distortion. Its appearance distorts for a moment. The centaur wields a shortbow. The centaur shoots an arrow. You reflect the arrow off an invisible shield around you! The arrow hits the centaur! The centaur dies!

An ice dragon hits my 58 hp DeFE with 59 points of cold damage

Wow ! A bread ration and a plain short sword !! What a great incentive to go into that transporter with an ugly thing and an elf knight on D:7 !

Okay, this is funny and kinda minor but...

"I charged the centaur for 6 spaces without getting shot at! Yay!" (I have 10 stealth btw.)

Switches weapons to melee now.

The centaur still has not even noticed I am standing there next to it, but just now it decides to start wandering and gallops in the general direction of away. "Gawd! What timing."

... I run around with my triple x-bow, kill things and don't realize that that stupid spriggan rider has a buckler of reflection...

Code:: You shoot a bolt! The spriggan rider reflects the bolt off its buckler of reflection!!! The bolt hits you!!!!!!!!!!!! * * * don't die * * * The bolt freezes you!!! rip

... GnNe enchants holy double sword with all available scrolls before entering Pan and first Pan level is the holy one.

Run into a Death Knight, Grum, and a pack of wolves...on D:8.

Code:: You hear a splash. The swamp dragon scales are intact enough to wear.

I got one for Ru Unreasons:

Will it be possible to see what this stuff would have been after the game ends? lol

Maybe this trove should be disabled when sac evo.
We are at master troll level here.

Anyway, after you'll finish (winning or losing), you may check the .lst file in your morgue directory related to this game. It should lists all the items generated in floor, including not seen\unidintefied.

Hm, the list file doesn't seem to include the Trove. Ah well.

Upside is it only cost the also-useless Horn of Geryon. (Upon seeing which my reaction was, "Oh, with a strong Ru character this trove is pretty free...." lol)

Speaking of troll troves, check out this one. (When I saw that, I actually thought the trove was meant to troll the player since Demise was playing a draconian, which is, y'know, draconic.)

When my Demonspawn develops the mana shield. I seriously hate that thing, especially when I needed to use mana-based god-abilities and magic.

Probably we need a new tutorial character - DsCj with magic shield, it will teach players that having zero MP and high HP is a player mistake and should be avoided. Either retreat earlier (if you are a pure mage and cannot attack at zero MP) or hit with non-magical attacks earlier (if you are a hybrid, you need to keep enough MP in case situation changes (for escape or just using AoE spells if some other dangerous monster comes into view)).

I descend to Snake 4. I see a sleeping electric snake. "Cool", I think. "I will get one step closer and iron shoot him." I take aforementioned step and suddenly two more electric snakes show up, previously hidden by pillars. They are awake and start shooting me. I have no rElec.

I went back upstairs and survived, though, so that was nice.

I finish Orc with only around 900 gold and one of the Orc:2 shops turns out to be a mimic !

Buying a wand of paralysis and wasting all of its 8 charges on Edmund (46% resist). As it turns out, he was using a runed chain mail... of fire resistance. Also a flail of protection.

EDIT: After the fight I meet a sky beast. I try to use enslavement on her, and it fails the first three times.

D:14 shapeshifter starts as a shadow dragon...

Then it changes,

and decides to be a gold dragon instead!

My DrTm finds the unhand longbow Zephyr on Snake:4. The catch ? DrTm^Ru !!

Code:: You can't wield that without your missing limb.

Unhand longbow, mistype or stroke of genius?

Troll Earth Elementalist, but currently playing as unarmed/throwing specialist. Saved 3 Scrolls of Acquirement from early in the game.

Orc shops were nothing particularly awesome, so tried them for 2 jewelry and one armor. What do I get? :evil:

The Amulet of Voiq { Faith rC+ Int+4 Dex+4 Slay-5 }

The Ring of Neurosis { rN+ Str+4 Int+3 Dex+7 Slay-6 }

+3 Robe of Jylux { rC+ Int+8 }

The robe just might conceivably find a use if don't find any sources of rC before ice cave... Generally silly though.

I quaffed a mutation potion (trying to get rid of blurry vision):

Code:: Your vision sharpens. You regain control of your magic. Your vision blurs. You feel less in control of your magic.

What the f.

The robe might be very good if you decide to go for statue form

I rolled a DgWn that started with the poison book. He died on D:3. Guess whose ghost shows up on in a later DEFE run? Yep. OTR, Sting and Vapors. I was dead within 5 turns after entering LOS, even with a curing potion.

I don't like it when a ghost craP appears in shoals.
And after you have paralyzed it a thorn hunter appears.
And after you have started berserk vs thorn hunter the ghost craP comes back.

RIP DsTm

A WizLab with just body armour ...for my DrIE. :roll:

Feels like I've been XOMed! :evil:

On a FoAK at ~50% HP with just a few more weaklings left after killing almost a dozen,
I wanted to Conjure Flame using the keys: zc
but instead pressed: ac
that triggers Corruption in a 2-wide long hallway.
Didn't even have time to shaft myself. RIP FoAK#93

Lesson learned: reassign Corruption to key: C

Lesson learned: reassign Corruption to key: C

Code:: confirm_action += Corrupt confirm_action += Death's confirm_action += .*Revivification

Code:: confirm_action += Corrupt

The way it is implemented is way too annoying.
Every time I press 'a' for the list of abilities, before letting me see the list it blocks at:

Code:: "Really use Corrupt?"

forcing me to press N ...when all I wanted to do was Dig another killhole.

So I've resorted to my original plan to reassign Corruption to C key.

This is weird. Before (a couple of years ago when I implemented it) it was giving the prompt upon activating the ability only. It looks like someone broke the functionality

I usually use uppercase characters for spells/abilities which don't require a target, and lowercase characters for those that do. It makes typos a lot less common.

I hope you use spell_slot option for that, it is great when you have Blink assigned to B in every game, for example.

There is an open door here.
You fall through a shaft for 2 floors!
The shaft crumbles and collapses.
Beware, you cannot shaft yourself on this level.
Xom thinks this is hilarious!
A komodo dragon, a black mamba, 3 elephants, a polar bear and 4 dream sheep come into view.
The komodo dragon hisses angrily. The elephant trumpets! x2; The black mamba hisses angrily. The dream sheep bleats! x3
The polar bear growls angrily. The jumping spider hisses angrily. You hear an angry hiss.
The jumping spider leaps!
Found a scroll of teleportation. Found an escape hatch in the ceiling.
Really read D - 3 scrolls of magic mapping {!r}?
As you read the scroll of magic mapping {!r}, it crumbles to dust.
You feel aware of your surroundings.
A dream sheep comes into view.
A crocodile and a rime drake come into view.
The rime drake hisses angrily.
The jumping spider leaps!
The rime drake breathes ice at you.
The flash freeze hits you! You partially resist.
You are encased in ice.
Snorg the Insatiable comes into view.

Making ghosts optional was perfect, now I need optional shafting as Fo
