    Aside from being cursed/doomed, I've also wondered if the RNG has any means of deciding how frequent wilderness encounters are, or if it's purely the RNG itself at work. I've never had them as...

    You have a good point. That would have been the best move to make, regardless of spell power. I assumed my spells would bounce like a little kid in a moonwalk ride. Still should have tried, though.....

    Well I did say I was hoping I could bolt him, but I never actually did. I knew any spell I had at level 1 wouldn't do crap, so my instinct was to try and get away, or at least make some distance to...

    That PC's decision to become an adventurer was indeed a regrettable one.

    Congrats on that win. I've never savescummed. It's been really tempting, but I want to win a game the first time without dying. Obviously, with my play style, It will probably take me another 10...

    True.
    Level 12 is not too rare for me, but I still have yet to actually finish a game after playing ADOM for 7 years (safe to say I suck).
    I was a bit happy about this PC though, because I had...

    No artifact for you!

    Just started a gray elf wizard. Read the spell books and took the quests in Terinyo. Went to DD right away to get Keethrax generated.

    Awesome! While I've never suffered a game crash in ADOM, it's always nice to see it get some attention/tweaks. I personally can't stand tablet PCs, so I eagerly await the Linux/Windows port!

    What I was hoping would turn into an action movie-worthy escape attempt, ended up being a foolish (yet amusing) death. I think being on the "Coward" tactic upon death was more than...

    So, I died for pretty much the same reason as every other person does: overconfidence.
