Let's play "How will the RNG kill my character?"

[gut]

gotta be dragon hide then

[JellySlayer]

I will avenge my previous character.
Gnomish assassin starting with 5 PV leather armor and 2 DV 3 PV hooded cloak. Skipping herbalism, candle born. How will this one die? 8 PV!
Oh look. A pool. Dammit. Yes or no?
WTF? 5 PV blue gauntlets.

Critical hit by large gnoll.

Critical hit by large gnoll.

Close enough. Got bored of spending 30minutes in ID without finding blink dog, and decided to try to pass through a river without swimming. I used 2 prayers and passed over. A fire trap destroyed my gauntlets and armor, and then a gnoll critically hit me. Very good prediction.

Friday the 13th seems a good day to be killed.

Also, starting a game of ADOM when you have a hangover seems like a great idea.

My plan is to play a no-herb game, starting by killing the healer and doing UD. How will I* get myself killed?

*:I won't blame it on the poor RNG

[Maul]

Vortex death in UD.

[gut]

barbarian wilderness ambush

[Python]

stone giant lord thrown rock in the HMV

[grobblewobble]

Nope.. I decided on a random whim to attempt the cute dog quest and was done in by some spiders and a large kobold on the way back. Epic.

[fazisi]

My DE archer died to a berserk raged leucrotta.

[jamm]

i wonder how my ravenborn orc barbie will die... he is so lucky and unlycky at the same time... lvl 20 crowned balance with 2h sword of crapness (have nothing better, will prolly use rune cowered trident for ACW), second shot at ToEF. first was aborted when my only fireproof blanket burned, soon after that all the food was gone, so i made a tactical retreat, spent crapload of time in ID looking for another one.
on the other hand he survived meeting with 42 ghost lords (only 8 years added) on 3rd cavernous lvl of tomb. only to find out that his only wand of cold was destroyed somewhere.
