So I foolishly ran into the Mana Temple without -DR, and I got death rayed. The message buffer said something like:
>You feel a bolt of energy slicing through you. You are instantly killed.
And then I was at 1hp. I prayed and went to full. Then I equipped my amulet of death ray resistance...
What could this have been? I also had a particularly frightening encounter on UC6 with a doppelganger king where I was reduced to 1hp... twice. I was wearing AoLS at the time, but it didn't trigger.
Anyone know if there's something wonky going on with my game, or what?
