The Tavern

After recently giving the following advice twice I thought about making a topic. (Please tell me if a similar topic already exists.)

So last words often are

• "I'll save this potion/scroll/charge of..."

http://crawl.develz.org/learndb/index.html#famous_last_words

Hmm amazing, "I'm going to save this consumable" isn't on there.

There are really nice last words in the learndb, thanks!

Edit: What about the following:

• "This looks dangerous, but..."
• "Oh no"

"Fingers crossed this is !Curing."

You are poisoned!
*** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
Quaff which potion?
You gently float away from the floor.
It was a potion of levitation.
You die...

Wow, that was tough. I'll just do one more zig floor.

Love it!

Or... "I can't handle this zig floor, but I can rest at the bottom of the stairs before the next"

"I'm feeling adventurous, I think I'll roll a MuCK..."

"I'll teleport, it can't become worse."

Holy crap I just scared my cat laughing so hard.

Some more last words I didn't find in the learn DB:

• "What is THIS?"
• "I've still got enough HP."
• "Great 15-runer yesterday, now let's go for a streak."
• "Hey cat, go away from the keyboard!"
• "Let's hope it's no mimic."
• "I should have..."
• "I shouldn't have..."

"Just one more hit and I'll kill it..."

"Deteriorating 3, blurry vision 3, teleportitis 3, fast metab 3, slow 3 ... f**k this sh1t."

"Surely that Ogre/Hill Giant/Ettin/Stone Giant can't take me down with one swing ..."

"Hell sentinel? Is this new in 0.11?"

You forgot cyclops, indeed we just had a YASD post with these very words for a cyclops.

"That stone giant will probably run out of rocks soon."

Ouch! That really hurt!
...

"I bet the poisoning will end before I run out of hitpoints."

Those stairs are too far away, I'll just take this here shaft...

"BOOOOORRIIIIIIISSS! THIS IS FOR ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS OF MINE YOU KILLED!"


...seriously, there was a period where Boris was the sole killer of my mid-game characters, even the ones who tried to flee from him. Now I make certain to kill him in every game I meet him, either right away or later when I'm better prepared. And if he respawns? Awesome, more revenge!

"There's no way I will miscast my spell at 8% failure three times in a row!"

This beam is likely to hit you. Continue anyway?

Y

If you're a felid, you just have to see your floating corpse. Devs, work on that.

Also,
"LOOK! It's a second silver rune!!! OMG"

No, I'm not too tired to play.

I'm not in a bad mood and won't just thump tab until I die.

I'll pick up just one more piece of loot, then teleport away.

Although my health is low, if I land one more hit, I'll win this fight.

Ah, so "zc" was blink for my last game.

I know I've got this far through one specific strategy in all my tough fights; maybe I'll try doing something different here.

*hic* Drunk, me? Nooo.

"Uh, which tactics did this character use?" - after coming back to an old save.

"YAWN"

Oh no! Sigmund! I'd better use my wand of polymorph!

Oh you're back from NetHack.

"I've got some free time. I think I'll play a game of Crawl."

"What is this wall made of doors? Must be something good."

You see a shadow dragon, you see a titan, you see an ettin, you see a cyclops, you see a stone giant...

Or

"This door is covered in warnings, open anyway?"

@??Mennas

"hm, maybe if I dive deeper into the abyss I can escape faster"

"Quick Reply ... Submit."

You reach Lv 10.
You find a Book of Dragons/Annihilation.

"Only 35% failure rate for Summon Dragons/Storm/Shatter? Let's try it out!"

BAANNNNNN!!!!!

A remaining question is: what are the last words of the best players of DCSS?

Bart actually is at 2nd place in the all-time highscore list, struggling with jeanjacques and 78291 for the 1st place.

Bart has a win percentage of 18% (!) - what are his last words, should he once fail to win the game? Although his last words were not spoken immediately before he died - did you expect them to be "yes" and "no"?

Proving once again that the appropriate response to an angry, knife-wielding dude is "What are you gonna do? Buy me a beer?"

court papers show my friend denny said 'im gonna kill you' before he was himself killed by the guy he spoke to, and my 3rd cousin twice removed died of an explosion after he said 'hang on im gonna light this match' to papa ray who survived the blast, and a girl around here died after fallong from a callege window tryint to get to the roof tof the story below, she died and fell five storeys to her death but i dont know her last words, also, in scarface, he says 'say hello to his little friend,' he dies but its the same cause he kills everyone else. well thats what i heard

I don't think that's true.

The tags on that story are good.

If you read those tags you don't really even need to read the story. They're a real timesaver.

I also see Chin Peng is back in the news again.

I wonder what did a stabber use to make him (literally)stabable.

Does this qualify as "famous last words".



Man, that Dowan talks fast. He must have been an auctioneer before he took up adventuring.

"Youhavemadeablackmistake!GoingonceGoingtwice!" *CRASH*
