First time i got eaten by a grue. The interesting thing was that i got doomed for being a fallen champion. I was a crowned champion of balance with a dwarven thief (very lucky one might i add) and i attacked momma dragon and got to CN immediately, i wasn't expecting such a drop in alignment but it was fine, it's not like I was giving thanks for getting the silver key for a crowning present...??.

I was happilly looting in the dark when a grue ate me... too bad, i was looking foward to playing the rebellious thief.

I realized one of the reasons I always used to lose so early in the game. The reason is that I got doomed so often (don't ask me how, I don't know.) I think dooming, and even cursing, truly affects the game in a big way, I always meet out of depth monsters. This is a stupid death.

You're probably trying to attack karmic lizards, (baby/ancient) karmic dragons, eating things like imps and lesser/least demons, IIRC. Unsure about the eaten ones, certain about the karmic-attacking. Try saccing lots of gold, until you're very close to your deity. Then you'll 'feel a terrible gloom being lifted from you'. Or read a scroll of luck so as to: 1. remove doom 2.remove curse 3.become lucky 4. have Fate Smile upon you in that order.

You can't remove doom with a scroll of luck. You can do everything else though.
