I tried the Spriggan Berserker thing. Took 4 tries before I broke that initial luck hurdle and got a good start rolling. Got a +8/+8 quick blade as my first gift on D:5. Made my way down to about D:15 or so, got a few nice things along the way including a +6/+5 artifact demon blade with vampirism among other bonuses, etc, etc. Cleared the Hive, Orc Mines, and Lair (minus advanced branches) and was going through the Vault. I was downright plowing through everything, ogres and orc hordes begged for mercy as my little Spriggan sent ichor flying and licked it off his blade. Ettins, 2 Headed Ogres, Giants, Cyclops, Trolls, Centaur Warriors, you name it, I was diving into them without even having to rely on berserk unless there were 4+ and no corridor to use. On about Vault:3, I came across some Slimes. Now I had already cleared an 8x8 Jiyva vault with various ooze, amoeba, and other forms of snot and mucous, so I didn't feel some slimes would be any trouble. I started to Kleenex them one by one when they started merging. I had fought them merged up to stage 4 no problem, but these guys merged to stage 5. I didn't consider it an issue; I had 98 HP, some AC bonuses, an +2 robe, and crazy dodge. So I'm hacking at it for a few rounds and get it down to about half it's life. Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, BOOM! You Died...

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!! WTF just happened!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
My obit said I died with 0/98 HP, meaning he decided to hit me from full life to zero with no overkill. For all the giants and such that I slaughtered indiscriminately, it was a freaking snotball that did me in!?
