    Default Jermina, hurtling bard. RNG strikes again.

    I had a break from adom recently, and the good ole RNG jumped at the occasion to remind me about the good times.
    No dump, since it was all level 1 anyways.

    I started a bard, had obscenely good luck with the random skills: Healing, Concentration, Detect Status, Find Weakness.
    I go the usual route, find meself a nice bear in the woods and tame it.
    Afterwards, I go into straight for the small cave, for the blanket and to locate the stairs down.

    Few steps down the corridor, and I step on a teleport trap, finding myself far away from my companions, in a room full of monsters. Immediately, I switch to coward and get the hell away.
    Suddenly I get:
    "The rat hits you, you feel sick."
    Bringing my Str to a whooping 1, and my HP to 1/9.

    Strangely enough, I managed to cross two rooms and find my companions, only to be critically hit by an orcish knife.

    Of course, I should have prayed, but entirely forgot about that. (-:

    EDIT: The second incarnation of Jermina (though less spectacular skills) died to a crash, again in the Small Cavern, again at level 1.
    Methinks the game's trying to tell me something.

    How the hell did you manage to get 9 HP?
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Sickness reduces toughness by 5, and with a level 1 hurthling bard already low on stats that's going to leave you with a terminal amount of hp.
