I've been compulsively playing dark elf merchants lately. I don't know why. It's a sickness.

I got one with 5 talents at the start. I made it through the small cave. I hit a vault of gnolls in UD 1. A vault of orcs in UD 2. I have treasure hunter. I have wands. I have so many things. I have an adamantine shield. An adamantine spear. This is going to be a good run.

I think it's not even UD 5, I'm already level 10, I see an altar of neutrality, start luring things to it. I have a kobold corpse, I should sacrifice it too. I step on the altar.

I die.

Wtf! There's nothing there.

But an invisible stalker. :'(
