After going back down from dropping said karmic lizard off then second lizard then cat all the way up on the first level, one after the other from the same cavernous level, and then going down below the cavernous level, clearing the rest of the cave and coming back up into the level, i get stuck in a long corridor between a 3rd karmic lizard (in the last 5min) and 2 cats the side i just came.
Either way it was get cursed or piss that stupid cat lord off or whatever, took one look at the situation and decided im done. Halfheartedly tried to fight my way out by trying to take out the cats even though that wasn't the exit way, figured run the karmic round a level below then go back up but more enemies just filled the corridor either way anyway from the high spawn rate. Let me guess, like the soultion to most other problems i either should have completely left the dungeon or not gone down that far, in fact maybe you should skip more of the game than you end up playing, you know, just to be safe, now that's skill right there. Knowing when to run (any time stupid RnG becomes stupid or anything gets remotely hard) and is a very rewarding solution to you being challenged.
You cleared the entire lesser vault and didn't find a single bow + arrow or rock to kill the karmic lizards with? And you didn't grab any rocks from the ant level for extra missiles? Never found a spear trap for a few thrown spears? Missiles are very, very important in ADOM. Regardless of what kind of character you are playing, you need to be at least minimally proficient in some missiles. There are many monsters that are too dangerous/annoying to fight in melee range. For the cats, you can just kill them. The cat lord is an optional endgame quest. No need to worry about it at this point.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
