This is the furthest I've ever got one of my characters.

In the beginning rotated between DD, PC and UD for leveling.
Items of note were 2x fireproof blanket, ring of invisibility. Served me VERY well.
Neutral altar on PC 4, converted and precrowned -> Soaker, bleh.

CoC big room got infested with red worms. In my attempts to pacify it I set up a little enclosure for it, but there were too many. Ended up closing off half the level with my plentiful wands of door creation. Probably spent a little too long though trying to pacify it. (cue foreshadowing)

Pyramid, Dwarven graveyard, Thundarr quests were a pushover. Crowned, got scarf.

Went to scum the ID for some books (don't hate me, i'm just trying to win at least once) - came across a little room of red worms. So i'd been killing them on D:6 no problems, so just run in and chop them up.

Don't know how to get a quote of the 'last messages', but it went like:

You miss the red worm. The red worm critically hits you, the red worm critically hits you, you die. I was on full health at the time. Scary thing is that it appears that it would have only needed a single critical to finish me off.

so. DONT kill 1200+ of a single monster. Lesson Learned. (Also a smaller lesson, leave si's outside the ID)

edit: Just noticed the formatting. How can I correct this?

Oh, and yeah, I learnt that lesson with a level 35 grey elven wizard in the battle bunny level. We all do.
