I am so sad! And not because of soccer, but because of this STUPID DEATH!
The story: My very very versatile (but somewhat fragile) paladin for the first time in my adom career brought down that car lord. The last time I met the cat lord, he ripped me to pieces while fighting in blind rage. This time, I gave him a quite long and heroic fight. In that very long passage I webbed him, while retreating. I used up all my humanoid slaying ammo, my wands of magic missile, my sling bullets of cracking... then I put on 2 rings of slaying, archery gloves and gulped down 3 potions of boost dexterity in the process, always shooting him with my best arrows. After about the 15th hit, he still did not fall, but the corridor was nearing to an end. Then, only one square before he could reach me (he surely would have shredded me), I managed to get him to become afraid, run away. So I waited a bit, in order to let him gain some distance, and messed his flight path with webs. Then I gave him the final blow with some dragon slaying ammo. Man, I was celebrating, and I was feeling invincible! and died on the very same level, perhaps 100 turns later, by underestimating the fire giant - instead of praying at around 90 HP, I tried "cure serious wounds". It hit me critically, and that was it.
I had a ring of djinni summoning, only did not use it because it lacked of ideas.
