    Default trollish/ironic RNG experiences

    Got The Wall as precrown, then at bottom of frost giant caves a surge of power (reg. frost giant guardian) procured protector. I don't want to bash protector since I have fond memories of finding it decades ago and blocking all of malakai's hits with it, but now it's just an inferior version of The Wall...

    Spending all your Kranach bounty money on a Brutal mithril spear of awesomeness, which then immediately gets destroyed by an acid trap on PC1.
    Reading a blessed scroll of education in Dwarftown, just outside Glod's forge, and get Smithing.

    Once I tried pickpocket demon in dwarftown quest. Just for fun (it is a bad idea naturally).

    Picked 666 gold pieces. Might even have screenshot somewhere/
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    You gotta love this one:

    The ratling warlord misses you. The ratling warlord disarms you. You drop your blessed rustproof dagger of death (+5, 5d5+5). It flies to the north east. Leggot, the trollish shopkeeper, hollers "Thank you!". You block the ratling warlord. Leggot the trollish shopkeeper grunts "Welcome back, Morbius!" A blessed rustproof dagger of death (+5, 5d5+5) (unpaid, 24726 gp) (10s) is lying here.

    So, I was standing outside the store when I got disarmed and my disarmed weapon naturally chose to land in the doorway.

    I don't remember the exact wording but you get the picture:
    You pick up the amulet of free action. Suddenly a mimic hivemind attacks you! Suddenly you can't move. The mimic hivemind proceeds to eviscerate you, one turn short of putting the damn amulet on...
    The banshee seems to scream. You step on a loose tile. You are engulfed by the fire. You resist the searing flames. The wax in your ears melts in the heat. The banshee wails a horrendous soul-rending song...
    And of course the classic: You pick up the potion of water (4s). The ice beneath your feet creaks in a disturbing way. It breaks! You are drowning. Suddenly tiny red fish devour your flesh. You die...

    Always. As far as causes go, auto-pickup probably amounts to about 15% of my stupid deaths over the last 20 years of playing ADOM.
    Yeah I'm a pack rat. I'd rather describe myself as a collector though
