I was playing a gnomish assassin. got farslayer for precrowning and was walking around strained all the time because i had no safe place to stash my junk and St wouldn'tt go past the maximum of 16. I had greased lightning so my speed was 100-102 even while strained. That was fine.
Got a herb level on D:10 and got morgia/moss of marellion pattern going well. On my way to the animated forest i found a cloak of invisibility. Very very handy.
Decided to go for the dwarven halls. On DH: 1 I got tension rooms message. Was careful. Found a black dragon but remained invisible so that was fine. while opening a door... boom...explosive rune and a tension room with a Lich of some kind (dunno wich, just that i got confused from its blast), and a death ooze. Among other nasties.
Got confused and the death ooze was right next to me. Of course, as luck would have it, i charge at the ooze while confused...??'. With two hits it puts me at 1 HP. I pray and try to get away. I manage to survive the confusion period and start running. Those things are fast with 120 speed. I get out of DH but it follows me. I put on a +3 amulet of speed and my dagger of the eagle. I was strained but i was afraid of dropping items and dying from the next blow. So I continue running and now i'm probably real badly poisoned from all the hits. During the runaway the ooze puts me at 1 HP again. In the end I prayed 6 times. Good thing I had good piety.
In the last room before the stairs I manage to get 1 square away from the ooze and close the door on it. I was so happy that I managed to get away from it that I forgot that i was badly poisoned. The next turn I die from poisoning...??' It's just sadistic.
But I should have been more careful and tried Detect traps on every door on DH..=/
It's always some small thing isn't it? It always pisses me off that 95% of the deaths are avoidable through some unthought channel. I guess I could have fought the ooze in the darkness as well now that i think about it.
