Ugh, what a waste of a char. Melee'd one earlier and took him down no problem; next one killed me without taking much at all in the way of damage. Tried to escape, but he had me.

Scrolls of Immolation are GREAT offensive tools. That's 6 kills for one scroll, and a little bit of HP damage on myself.

I've done something like that too. But I was also Invisible and had Repel Missiles on, so when Stone Giants and Centaur Warriors and Dragons started showing up from outside the LOS to investigate, they'd fire at me, miss, and kill their allies. If you think yours felt good, try it with that too. Absolute hysteria.

I was SO thrilled to finally have Ice Storm running at full power, with my XL27 Demonspawn Wizard that was immune to freezing vapors (demonic ancestry trait), so while I was rocking the Ziggaurat I found in Pandemonium with it, I found that yes, I can take on an entire room of Orbs of Fire, and I can take on an entire dungeon filled with Angelic beings of all variety (as a Demonspawn no less!!), but when I Ice Stormed an entire horde of Greater Mummies and Mummy Priests, suddenly I went from max HP to 1/10 of my HP due to their death curses, and even when I managed to heal up with my Wand and Regeneration spells, and get some MP back using Ambrosia, just barely staving off their Smite attacks the whole while, I made the same move again thinking a couple more Ice Storms would finish them off, death curses kicked in again and killed me outright.
This is a moral of the dangers of being too trigger-happy with your new toys. Don't be. x_x I always thought death curses were "annoying", I never imagined they'd be the force of nature they really are. Maybe I would have had better success spamming Orb of Destruction while backing up and taking them out one by one instead of en masse, and it was a sore mistake for me not to have called in Demonic Horde beforehand. Ah well, lessons learned.
It's kinda funny though because most people's first time dealing with nasty Mummies is in Tomb, for me it was a Ziggaurat. Go figure, right?

Ice storm against DD levels is fine though.

Apparently I was supposed to stand next to him and icewand or melee him instead of eating all those hellfires. Damn that thing moved fast. Good bye, kobold assassin, I barely knew ye.
