What kills You? Again.
This is my favorite question in adom because it shows were people find their challenge. I guess it's a fancy version of YASD but I still like to ask it. I like to know what stops you on a sure win.
On your high score list, what are the top five deaths after your wins. Explain why or not. Feel free to brag about your number of wins by starting your numbers after your wins. I've won 4 times in this high score list so I'm starting a 5.
- 5. L50 Dwarven Archer - Transformed into a purple J in the palace of Andy. Didn't have light source, didn't throw !ofCC, got him to critical. Sadness.
- 6. L37 Dwarven Assassin - Killed by Fisty on D50. Multiple criticals took me from 550 to -50 in one turn. Didn't get saved at 1, maybe because I was wielding a certain axe but who knows for sure.
- 7. L32 Ratling Farmer - Killed by Mr. Grumbles my greater Earth elemental pet on D50 when I accidentally shot him using a newly dropped Thunderstroke when it auto aimed at a newly appeared bee that came out of hive behind me. I really think that a message like do you really want to shoot your super experienced friend [Y/N]... Really[Y/N] before it lets it fly. Maybe it's been changed in the newer releases - or maybe they will continue to punish button mashing.
- 8. L23 HE Weaponsmith - Killed by Keriax. I underestimated his regenerative powers and didn't have nearly enough slaying ammo. I just didn't want to miss my darknight window.
- 9. L26 Hurthling Paladin - Killed by the poison of a quickling queen. Dropped all my wands elsewhere and forgot to pick them up on a quick run to get a item.
So lets here them. What kills you.
