Greed overcame me... and I dropped everything
I was going for my second win with a ME Archer.
Everything was going well, got Thunderstrock as a crown gift and Perion's Plate Mail as postcrown, overall I was very careful and was pumping my TO nicely (although slowly as expected). I killed the Snake from Beyond in two hits, and decided to go raid the darkforge before the ToEF.
The Steel Golems were falling easy, two or three hits to die. I did not have any teleport control and my ST was low so I decided to leave all my inventory upstairs to carry as much as possible back (and avoid having to go up and down several times). Foolishly, I dropped everything... including all my ammo except Thunderstrock.
The first golems were very easy. When walking to the weapons room I hit a teleport trap, got me on top of the crown of science. When leaving the room I shoot my quarrel and it did not return. A golem steps on it, I try to move back so that he follows me allowing me to pick it back up, I hit another teleport trap and I get to the treasure room. The steel zombies fell to my spear but on my way back I got cornered by two golems, no way past them, the spear is not doing anything, they do not hit me often but I have no way of doing any damage. My 3 scrolls of teleportation? upstairs. My construct slaying ammo? upstairs. My wands and brutal axe of devastation? upstairs. I prayed twice to get my health back up but it didn't matter. I got nothing on them and eventually they crit me and I died.
All because I left everything upstairs... to carry more...
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I had a darkness spell... that could have helped... doh!
