Crushed II - a facepalm moment

[lamanor]

Ok so I was quite embarressed with my last stupid death, I put a ring of weakness on and crushed myself to death. So I decided to start another Grey elven weaponsmith coz its probably my favourite race/class combo and I realy wanted complete the game with one.

My new weaponsmith was at level 24. I had complete the ToEF and the water temple. I was set up to win. Had Executor and a bunch of great artifacts. I was determined to let nothing catch me off guard.

At level 28 of the CoC and found a brass ring (great) so I took off my old ring and put this one on. Discovered it was a blessed ring of luck after identifying. I take off the ring of luck and went to put on my ring of slaying....cept my finger slipped and I hit the wrong key.

" Your uncured ring of weakness glows black"
followed by:
" You are crushed to death by the immense load of crap you keep in your pack"

nearly identical circumstances to my last post. I wish I could blame a malevolant RNG but I only have fat fingers to blame.

Are you sure it wasn't a copper ring? Brass rings are always... well, brass rings with no in-game effect, as far as I know.

I take off the ring of luck and went to put on my ring of slaying....cept my finger slipped and I hit the wrong key.

I really hate it when that happens, even if the consequences aren't as disastrous as in your case. It's like when I "don't manage to receive new insights" from a starting spellbook, for some reason it really annoys me.

Might be a good idea in your case just to throw away rings of weakness whenever you find them. Or reduce the size of your inventory that you normally carry. I mean, if you're wearing the fire orb, then equipping a ring of weakness should only reduce your St to 11 or 12, which means that you can carry about 6000 stones worth of gear without dying--more than enough. Even with 2 St, you can carry 4080 stones. This is about the same amount you can carry with 32 St unburdened, so if your base St is below 32, a RoW should never kill you (because you aren't travelling Burdened, are you?)

I'm not too good at the interweb jargon but I'll give it a try Lamanor, ahem...

ROFL... *gasp for breath* ROFL... *wipe tears from eyes*... LOL, ROFL *gag*...

There, that sums up my response to this brilliant YASD. Truly you have brought a ray of sunshine into my life with this post.

I'm looking forward to adding a YASD post of my own in the near future - I know I wont need to wait too long

Sounds like you need to work out those lil sausage fingers of yours.

P.S. I think Jelly might be onto something too.

Trifle, maybe?
