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

[jamm]

why is that RNG always make fun of me? right now i have a mage who found eternium 2h sword of mayhem, while my barbarians tend to found a lot book stores (one had 2 freakin book stores in UD alone...).
plus it HAS to be apish corruption while in the rift so it can destroy ma Le and Wi.

Corrupting explosion from dipping scrolls of literacy check into potions of raw chaos.

I like relevance. It goes best with onion and scones
Bonus point for those who see the reference ^^

My next up:

Doomed troll bard. Level 10, just reached DT. Have good equipment, have spare 7lbs, good PV. I'm perma-invis and have uncontrolled teleportitis. Oh, and I'm currently lawful so blink dogs are always non-hostile (not that I've seen any). Lots of ways for that to go wrong

[garyd]

14th level human bard eaten by a grue in a dark room on level six of the SMC. This has happened exactly once in God only knows how many games.

20th level human bard eaten by killer pirahnna resist confusion failed me...

15th level fighter starved to death in the endless dungeon.

18th level wiz killed by a steel golem.

Teleportation into dwarven mystic room and never come out. Died of starvation.

teleported onto the fireball trap right next to your uber-pet. and then this pet shows you how much it really loves you ;-)

[fazisi]

Randomed a Unicorn born DE archer. Raider lord first kill, milked the rest of the raiders for about 80 1d6 arrows since de quarrels suck balls. Did PC but a homunculus killed the puppy. Generated SMC at level 10. Going to do village elder quest for healing then dive to DT.

How will this one die?

[grobblewobble]

Lose HP from traps, finished by an Invisible Stalker.

[JellySlayer]

Doomedbard is dead. Paralyse death by ghul in the Griffyard... 200 HP, 32 PV, 128 speed and Skullcrusher no match for him. And, of course, teleportitis didn't kick in to save me despite at least 5 pages worth of ghul related hits. For future reference, regardless of what PC I post, the correct answer to "how will the RNG kill my doomed PC" is, almost always, death by paralysis.
