The Tavern

I've been build zig-buster characters lately. The last one died in a way I don't totally understand. Here's what happened:

• It was my second zig, level 27, and it was pan lords
• I thought it would be fine since I tore through the entire zig, including multiple giant mummy levels
• I was paranoid about clouds of chaos, so each turn I made sure I wasn't standing in one
• I was spamming Tornado, Shatter, Fire Storm, and Disc of Storms
• Makhleb was healing me so I was at full health (298 HP)
• My MR was off the charts (MR+++++, i.e. "almost entirely resistant to hostile enchantments")
• Mid-Tornado a Pan Lord named Clint paralyzed me
• The Tornado kept doing damage and Makhleb kept healing me
• But the Tornado ended and I got walloped

So my questions:

• Did Clint cast a spell or use an ability?
• Did it bypass my MR?
• If it didn't bypass my MR, what was the chance of it succeeding?
• Something similar happened to me once with an Eldritch Tentacle; does that bypass MR?

Seems like I need to wear an amulet of stasis if this is remotely possible. Incidentally, I had crazy great mutations, which I picked up very early in the game (i.e. D:2): antennae 1, stinger 2, repulsion field 1, poison breath, clarity, magic resistance 2, electricity resistance

I believe chaos-branded attacks ignore MR when they try to paralyze you. Did he have a chance to hit you in melee?

Hm, maybe that was it. I'll have to review the tape.

Shit, that was it. He definitely hit me.

Welp, if you have to have an unpredictable, semi-unavoidable death, it may as well be a result of Xom's favorite brand.

Never fight someone called Clint.
