Surrounded By Evil, Low On Gas

New page

{{diary}}

== History ==

I suck at roguelikes, I finished an ancient version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(video_game) Hack] ONCE when I was a kid, and have spent countless hours frustrating over Hack, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetHack NetHack] and more recently [[Dungeon_Crawl|Linley's Crawl]] ever since. Deaths before Level 5 are almost a certainty for me. I'm happy if I reach Level 8 before dying.

I'll keep this page as a collection of short stories about my more interesting failures. Please let me know what you think on the [[Talk:The_Many_Deaths_of_Jamie|Talk page]].

== Surrounded By Evil, Low On Gas ==

I started off this Stone Soup adventure with my Mountain Dwarf Fighter in what looked to be a fairly standard run - a few magic items, a few decent throwables like Dwarven Daggers and Hammers, I was feeling pretty confident. Decending to L3, I discover this floor actually branches off into three non-connected parts, which meet up again on L4. Very interesting!

So I clear out L1, L2 and all the separate L3 branches, and choose one to continue exploring. I run into a stairway for L5 and have a quick peek down, only to come face to face with my own ghost from a previous game. I quickly scarper back up before former-me kills present-me and continue exploring, heading west.

I run into some Hobgoblins and a Giant Iguana, formidable enough at this level to be taken seriously. Whilst positioning myself to fight them better, a band of Orcs with a Shaman in the northwest spots me and starts closing in. This is getting too much for me, I can see the unknown black to the south joins back up with a known area (and staircase!) so I make a run for it - face first into another band of Orcs, this one with a Wizard. Great.

I change direction and circle back around to get back to the east where I came from, and lo and behold ANOTHER ghost comes from the north and decides to join the foray.

I have no chance now. Well, if they're going to have me, I'm taking some with me. I gallantly plant my Dwarven feet and start swinging my axe. The Orc Wizard falls, and I start hacking into the Iguana as it makes lunch out of my leg. But alas, it's just not enough. AARRGGHH!

<pre>
You miss the giant iguana.
The giant iguana bites you!
You hear a shout!
The orc priest utters an invocation.
Pain shoots through your body!
You die...
