    Default poison sucks.

    Okay, not sure if this really counts as a "Stupid" death but i've not played for a while so it could do.

    Started off okay. went down into Puppy Cave and got poisoned by a bee on the 2nd floor, eventually wore off. had some serious issues with the ants, there were just so many of them but got through relatively unscathed. I had the longest distance to run through the cavern between the stairways but still no major issues. bottom floor I found an Orc vault and picked up some pretty decent equipment, all equipped but a little sad for finding the puppys corpse but I picked it up and prepared to leave.

    Cavern level on the way back up was where it all went wrong, about 5 steps away from the stairs and I get completely swamped by spiders appearing out of nowhere, I slowly slowly start hacking my way through but coupled with the webs it takes forever, I get poisoned again and have to pray a couple of times to heal, get up to the next floor bringing a load of spiders up with me and accidentally hit the wrong direction key (my numpad isn't working so I'm having to use 1,3,7,9 on the number row currently)...

    RIP.

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents are traveling adventurers. They are doing moderately
     well but are talented enough to survive.
            As a child you lived through happy days. Your parents tried to ease
     your life as much as possible and gave you a lot of comfort.
            During your youth you embarked on many small journeys to nearby
     towns on behalf of your parents. You learned to know lots of people and
     made many friends.
            As a young adult you left your home because of trouble with your
     parents. They opposed your plans for the future without understanding your
     wishes. Thus you decided to live on your own. You wandered through the
     country for many years, growing older and wiser and learning many things.
            You decided to become a Paladin.

    If/when you get a spider corpse, eat it asap even if in midfight (just swap to coward first).
    Resistance will make poisoning go away in notime it also lowers damage of poisoning.

    Any spider corpse, or giant centipede, will do the trick.

    Snakes satiate you but won't provide resistance sadly.

    I'm certain I've eaten some spider corpses that didn't grant the intrinsic, may have been tarantulas or cave fishers, I forget.

    I think that all spider corpses do grant it but it's not 100% guaranteed, just a very high chance.
