The mana temple without confusion resistence is a very bad idea. So I arrived at the mana temple, pretty strong and had everything I need EXCEPT confusion resistence. I was feeling pretty powerful so thought I'd give it a try anyway. I opened the temple and started clearing out the monsters, until that damn archmage started confusing me and I ended up in the corridor, to the south of the temple entrance, i.e trapped between a rock and a greater chaos servant. Read a scroll of darkness and started killing while being confused every few turns. After around 40 minutes of killing I sort of stopped paying attention to the text and just kept hitting attack until "you are hit by a painful stream of energy, you die"
It was a stupid death because I was down to around 130hp and could have healed/prayed. Well, once again over confidence destroys me...
