Sorry to keep replying to myself, but wow that was lucky. D:13, I find a beehive, decide to kill it for some beeswax and royal gelee. I handled a beehive on about D:4 with no problem, and I'd got poison resistance since then, so I figured I'd be fine. I wasn't. Poison slowly draining my HP, surrounded by bees, they're killing themselves on me and respawning too fast for me to handle. I finally manage to get to the door, but I'm on 4 hp with a bee behind me and badly poisoned. My only hope? Drink an unID'd potion.
Code:
You feel good about your learning level. The giant bee warrior hits you.
You feel poisoned! The giant bee warrior suddenly drops dead! You die... Your
amulet suddenly glows in a silvery light. You have been resurrected! Your
amulet crumbles to dust!
I was wearing my unID'd amulet because my other two were pretty useless. Kinda a stupid way to use an AoLS, but hey, I'm still alive.
EDIT: Scratch that. Next level down, Black Slayer. Faster than me, hitting through 60 DV in coward mode. Prayer makes my God angry at me, which is a stupid story too.
Level 5 of the VD, I found a Neutral altar, and I had a cursed item I really wanted to remove to replace with something good. So I tried saccing some gold and food, but didn't have enough to get my Piety high enough. So I wandered off, and found the Tension room - mostly lizard men with a few wolves. Killed off the wolves and the one unsaccable undead, then lured all the lizard men to the altar and sacced them. Got up to like 5-6k Piety, got the Lucky intrinsic, uncursed my item and went on my merry way.
When I was ready to head over to the CoC, I thought to myself 'I'll go back to that altar and get some more piety. Prayer is helpful.' Got there, sacced the Chaotic monster in the room:
*WELCOME, BELIEVER*
For some seconds the ground rumbles.
I missed the fact that I'd gone up to LN at some point, so I essentially swapped deitys twice and dropped my Piety back to -950 or whatever it resets to. *sigh*
Guess I'll go start again.
EDIT again. Apparently I was on the 'first level of some strange dwarven caves' - the Dwarven Halls I guess. I was planning to go through the Animated Forest, but I thought the path didn't split until D:15. Must've missed the other staircase in my rush to get away from the Bees.
