So, I had a high elf priest, lvl ~25. I don't have the exact specs because this happened some time ago.
I was happily walking through the woods, when encountered a dreadful Dorn beast. Then I thought that the character is powerful enough to take it down with a single blow after shooting it a little. The bastard didn't go down, but got me paralyzed. Well tough luck, but it couldn't hit hard enough to kill, regeneration was fast enough to counter its attacks. The paralyzation lasted and lasted... Then teleportitis kicks in, and possessing teleport control I teleported to the farthest corner away from the beast. It didn't find me after that at all. But still, the paralyzation persisted, on and on... Long enough to starve the sorry elf, who wasn't even hungry before the incident. Oh well.
I had some artifacts to speed up food consumption: the elemental gauntlets, water orb and the ankh. Also cursed, doesn't affect consumption but maybe the paralyzation time?
Of course it was idiotic to attack the beast in melee, but I never expected such a ridiculously long paralyzation time...
