The number one killer of ADOM characters: overconfidence.
Here's the story:
I'm wandering through DH with an AoLS, hoping to receive my reward from Khelly. *THUMB* Great... I hope I don't meet up with whatever that is... I think the stairs are over there...and a Greater Titan between them and me.
Well, at least he's not hostile. I guess I'll just walk by him. "The greater titan misses you." Just my luck. I can't run for fear of getting blasted into the ground by his quarrels, so I guess I'll just hope I can last longer than he does (note: I'd never met a greater titan this early before). "You hit the greater titan and slightly would it." I get that message 5 times, followed by a single miss from the titan again. I begin to think I might make it out of this. Then this happens: "You critically wound the greater titan. The greater titan starts to panic!"
I just had to throw a rock at him and make him mad, didn't I? "The greater titan critically hits you. You die..."
