The most foolish endings.

[yisk]

Today my hobbit thief was killed by a cute dog enraged by a door trap. :D

[Macros]

Few years ago, my lvl 30 dwarven barbarian encountered in deep CoC greater vault of giants. He already founded ring of weakness, so I've decided to increase St with it and giant corpses. Unfortunately, I forgot to drop most on my stuff on ground. Crushed by a tons of luggage...

I think that it's most stupid from deaths of my characters in Adom.

Edit: I even managed to find .flg file of that char.

[Laukku]

Abbrevations used to somewhat protect the unspoiled.

Zargrath, the dark elven priest, had found an 'oLS, a =oIce, a =oElemental Mastery, two pairs of 7LB and two =oDS early in the game. She foolishly thought she was strong enough to go to the ToEF. Her plan was to quickly kill the ACW and run away. But there were more monsters in the temple than she remembered, and got surrounded. Praying healed her byt also cursed her equipment (bug?), so most stuff became unusable. Casting darkness was her last resort, but the demons eventually killed her...

She should have wished for ice spells beforehand. Stupid elf.

[Grey]

I once got crushed by tonnes of luggage when wearing a girdle of greed and giving millions of gold to Garth. Truly 'twas greed that killed me...

[Travis Prue]

My most foolish had to be when I got sacrificed by a wererat <_<

[theotherhiveking]

Got killed by a shop keeper when i tried to get outside the shop..

[Dougy]

Gorgon corpse + playing a little bit too quickly.

[Laukku]

I have had some other classical YASDs besides Zargrath:

Once I was trapped between nasty monsters. So, I teleported away :). I couldn't control it, though, and found myself next to a master mimic. :P
Last year I got into the air temple for the first time. Aaros the human wizard was powerful. So powerful that he accidentally killed himself with a magic missile. Nowadays I try to be more careful in narrow corridors...

[Macros]

ToEF reminds me another funny of death. My character(it was priest I think, maybe I'll be able to find .flg) lacked fire immunity(or even fire resistance at reasonable level), so I thought that it will be good idea to wear crown of science in tower. Probably it would, but I forgot to remove it before fighting with ACW.:) And I was wondering why my my freezing furies(ice ball) wasn't really working.

[ZeroTheBird]

Stumbling into a Vault of Greater liches while having 18 in willpower.
also drowning in front of the oracle.

[Sradac]

being confused by getting the healing skill from the doctor after killing the healer, stumbled outside of the bandit town, stumbled around the wilderness for a bit and managed to stumbled into the river next to town, at level 5 and no swimming lets just say I drowned quickly lol.

[Siriah]

- Fighting Nuurag-Vaarn the Archmage with no light source and no death ray resistance.
- Extended-dropping all my junk on the wrong altar, then getting my ass handed to me by summons.
- Falling in water in a dark room, then going into the room AGAIN to see what just happened.

But the worst has to be when I reached the mana temple for the first time and got cornered by a Kirin while digging my tunnel. I was invisible, I could've just ignored it, or dug around it and lured it off the level, or cast some spells from health, or even thrown a potion of exchange at it. Instead, I thought I could take it on in melee. Well, I couldn't.

[ZeroTheBird]

Trying to swim over the lake of piranhas when i was the for the first time.

[Laukku]

Oooh, I remembered another one! :)

I think his name was TsikTsak, but anyway he went to the UD. There was a lesser vault, nothing difficult. A black tome was left by a monster, and I took it with me because he was a wizard. I had been trying to avoid spoilers, so I didn't know why I was getting corruptions extremely fast. Then I noticed that the book was something like "black tome of Alsophocus" and decided to check its powers in the GB. I threw it away, but it was too late: I had an unholy aura surrounding me. The shopkeeper in HMV killed him.

[Baranor]

It may not be the stupidest death, but it's one of my most fun ones because it's never happened again to me. Since I started playing this game, I have seen the message about being in the darkness and wandering in the slavering jaws of a grue. Generally I don't like the cursed or doomed intrisics so I don't hang around with them, but in this case i was just walking around in a room and bam! Slavering jaws. O_o

Also not a truly stupid death, but one that showed me the power of an amulet of death ray resistance, was when I decided to challenge myself going down the infinite dungeon. On about level 40, I opened a door to a lovely emperor Lich casting death ray. Went through me like buddah. Doh.

[Shardphoenix]

Char was wearing lessed girdle of carrying. And some stupid hag cursed the girdle.

Crushed!

[Dorten]

Broke his leg on a wall, or something like this. I was searching for a secret door, kicking the walls :). Only after this death Iknew, that kicking walls without PV can damage...

[spectre]

Most of my YASP recently were from underestimating sickness. That kobold shaman corpse yonder looks good, and c'mon I have lotsa health on me. I can take it!
No I couldn't. There's always a convenient Ogre (or any kind of monster that'll drop a few criticals in a row) dropped around to prove me wrong.

[Gnomish Healer]

My 50th level necromancer was mutated into a chaos being after eating the corpse of Nuurag-Vaarn... i wanted that mana boost but i didn't think to be already so corrupted.
It was literally killed by his thirst of power.

[Laukku]

We should make a list of common errors leading to YASDs. Like:
-never rely on a girdle of carrying/greed, as it is likely to get cursed/destroyed
-never become overconfident
-never save emergency tactics as a last resort, use them often. When your character is dead, it's too late.

[spectre]

^too true. Especially about the overconfident bit.

One sound advice is when you start to waltz through encounters thinking you're invincible is to stop playing for the day, cause that's just inviting RNG to pull a dirty on ye.

It also known as the "I can take it" syndrome.

[theotherhiveking]

Broke his leg on a wall, or something like this. I was searching for a secret door, kicking the walls :). Only after this death Iknew, that kicking walls without PV can damage...

That happened to me too!

I was happily looking for "you really hurt your foot on a wall" when "you brooke your leg, you die":(

[unienaule]

As a dwarven assassin, found an artifact dagger in the CoC at character level 8 or 9, and for some reason, I decided to see what would happen if I mixed a couple potions of water together. Boom, dead.

water + water = dead?

impressive, it must be a bug..

[unienaule]

Well, I was using alchemy, and when you mix things that aren't part of a recipie together, they explode, but it also really doesn't make sense for water to explode.

[Grey]

Unless you consider that maybe you're applying some magic into the equation when using alchemy... Of course, I do agree that mixing the likes of water and carrot juice shouldn't result in an explosion - nor should two herbs for that matter. Not only does it make little sense, but it's quite abusable too if you have fire protection.

[rytthigar]

Two words: kicking ladders :D

[Orbic]

Last one for me (yesterday...)
If only I had read all the messages on screen while blasting away a Rust monsters tension room...
My hurtling wizard retreated a few step to improve his rock throwing skills, and gently pushed aside his greater moloch big friend...
Well, he was no more a friend.
"you miss the greater moloch. The greater moloch hits you. You die"
According to the monster description the big friend could deal up to 767HP damage in one blow, enough for the hurtling.

[IronJelly]

Two words: kicking ladders :D

yeah. first time i got the fortune suggesting kicking the stairs, i tried it. I have to wonder if anything in the dungeon can survive that? Would have loves a death message, "You collapsed a dungeon, which actually blocked the Chaos gate. Congratulations, your stupidity saved the day!

[Baranor]

This is not necessarily stupid, but I was just surprised at how good the Cat Lord was. I was on my march to the end and decided to go bait the widdle kitty. Well, the "widdle kiddy" dealt 100 points of damage each attack round and was INVISIBLE! What? I don't think he's invisible normally. It was just super unlucky that he found a potion of invisibility. Ouch.

[Macros]

He can cast spells(just like ogre magus), so he can cast invisibility on himself. If you don't have any other source of see invisible, AMW is very good choice. And yes, Cat Lord is really tough(but with certain tactics, he's relatively easy to defeat).

[Dougy]

If the CoC collapse, it sounds like it would prevent chaos.
If the infinite dungeon collapses... well... it doesn't sound good for humanity (but you should gain quite a few Exp points).
