Shopping spree on D:6 and D:7!!!
And I've already found a +1 rf+ plate armour. What am I going to do with all this shit?

Okay, Antaeus and I are both at low health, but damage racing him in melee is suicide at this point. I need to cblink away, but my ranged damage is all cold based and won't so much as tickle him so I'm going to be right back where I started, my lamp of fire is recharging, and... wait. Is that a wand of fire in my inventory? How long has that been there? What crazy edge case have I been holding onto this fo--

Oh wait, its this one.

And that's how I killed Antaeus with a wand of fire I didn't even remember I brought. Use your evocables people, it could save your life (and humiliate a Hell Lord)

I've wished for a patched that said "This kills the <dude>." for so long. Maybe I should finally build Crawl myself instead of using the package provided by ArchLinux.

I get a caustic shrike pack from a rod of shadows.
