poisoned on my way to recovery

[elenhil]

My first notable case (apart from the usual magic missile execution and early small cave excursion stupid acts): my wee GE wiz was just looking forward to boost her Toughness by waiting over the sickness when she took one false step - on a level I thought previously clear - into a previously undiscovered pit trap and found herself down to some 10 HPs and surrounded by pit snakes. Got bitten, poisoned, panicked (well, actually I did), so instead of casting Darkness & Fireball to deal with the snakes and THEN using the potion of cure poison used the potion first, got poisoned from a couple of extra bites, obviously wasted the vital potion and some turns later succumbed to the poison.

I did see you do some other fun stuffs the other day on the server as well. I couldn't
tease you proper though, as you doughnut log on to irc. I think this was your guy I
was commenting on.

17:42 <gutt> Ah, I see elinhil's strategy now. Roll a super strong ultimate 100.000 rolls type of super-stat wizard on ancardia, meanwhile playing a similar type wiz that was rolled on ancardius. Chances are, by the time he manages to kill one off, another will be ready to go.

19:45 <gutt> i see a PC named torgongongob on ancardius. the player is looking up spells in the manual.
19:46 <gutt> he is fleeing a dark elf lord, and poisoned horribly. everything was blocking his path in corridors
19:47 <gutt> he is live saccing, so the rng is throwing him clay golems and cats all over the place
19:49 <gutt> a wizard that uses melee is like a thief that uses... well, anything other than door opening/closing
19:50 <gutt> torgongongob is now leading cats through long narrow corridors
19:51 <gutt> the cat is protecting all the other monsters. it bravely steps first on the altar to keep the mimic from having to
19:52 <gutt> hmmm, maybe the messaging system is fixed now? maybe I can send him encouragement? Only one way to know for sure
19:53 <gutt> oops, i better not right now, he is almost dead
19:53 <gutt> 9 HP's is plenty, don't bother praying
19:53 <gutt> and by all means, do not even think of killing that cat

Good way to encourage new people to be active on forums, gut!

The first one was definitely me. I feel a shameless sense of entitlement to super-rolled characters to help me cope with severe scumming withdrawal symptoms
