Tormodpwns, you should had flee after the first hit. In crawl it's never good to be below 50% HP, and if you need *luck* to win a battle, consider this battle already lost.

There's a couple of nastier ones out there. One with an Ice Dragon at the end and, even worse, one with an Ice Fiend.
Wereox wrote:I always thought the whole "convert to Lugonu to get out of the Abyss" thing was a cool idea but never actually a good one, because nearly every god has wrath that's at least as dangerous as being in the Abyss and it's enormously unlikely that you end up Abyssed before you have a god. I finally found a time when it does pay off - I got Abyssed on D2 of an orb run, ran into an altar almost immediately, and devoutly followed Lugonu for about 100 turns of GTFO before Nemelex had time to whip out the Deck of Punishments. It was kinda cool to see the deal with the devil actually happen.

Frost Giants throw Bolts of Cold. Continuing to fight was my best bet. Lesson learned: just because you can win easily with weaker characters, doesn't mean that you will win with a stronger character.

Even easier if you manage to teleport at the end and do it "backward", this way the corners are with you, not against you (or you may skip these statues...).
Anyway I avoid the Ice cave now, because I found it to be too dangerous.

If you see a large rectangular room with a door in the Lair, don't open it if you're not ready for mass bees/J's (jellies, brown oozes, even azure jellies).

Summon Ugly Thing has a chance of producing very ugly things based on spellpower, so it's possible. It's the main reason why I like to continue to push Summ after it's got a 1% fail rate.

When you play as a human, you really need to be ready to use everything. Even those puny wands of magic darts and slowing you were always throwing away.
Even if you are a wizard.
