The Tavern

I searched a tiny bit and didn't find a particular thread for reporting shocking shaft outcomes. With imagery if you can, but either way I thought it might be fun to have a collection?

Here's one to start.

Slid down from Orc: 1, obviously. I usually worry more about teleport scrolls landing in this kind of situation, but here we are...

Had no more tele. Got 3 or 4 blinks out before getting smitten. Dang I was headed in a vaguely open direction too.

Fell down 2 floors to D:9 and.... Death yaks.

GrSK:
Fell down 3 floors from 3->6
Made it back to 4
Fell down 3 floors from 4->7
Died to an Ice beast

I once fell next to Rupert.

I played 5 consecutive games the other day. Out of those 5, I was shafted 3 floors, 3 floors, 3 floors, 3 floors and 2 floors.

Getting shafted 3 floors down 4 games in a row is the pits. I almost rage quit the fifth, but made it to V:3.

I should be able to teleport out from here.

My fortunately well-armored Ghoul of Oka just got shafted from Lair 3 all the way down to Lair 6.

There wasn't too much in sight immediately, but soon it was a gauntlet of all the usual suspects: Komodo dragons, wyverns, the occasional hydra, wolf pack, scattered spriggans, vampire mosquitoes, frogs, and some black mamba. Thankfully, didn't see many yaks or elephants yet. But it took a mess of scrolls before I could find a defensible position, and then some close calls before finishing off the onslaught. Stairs took forever to find.

eh, just take the stairs to shoals, I'm sure it'll be fine

Yeah, why waste a perfectly good teleport scroll? :)

That character suffered a YASD on U:1 with 2 runes. I failed to recognize the danger when I saw a great orb of eyes. Instead of invoking Trog's Hand I did something else. Then a rakshasa copied the GOoE and suddenly I was paralysed. Of course at that point a yaktaur joined in and I watched helplessly as my GhBe was shot down. Stupid, stupid me.
