'''Terence the Incautious''' is a weak [[unique]] [[human (monster)|human]] fighter, likely one of the first uniques you will encounter and much less deadly than [[Sigmund]]. He occasionally generates with a good [[wand]], but should not pose much of a threat otherwise. Disable him with your own wands or soften him up with [[throwing]] weapons if you don't want to risk him getting a lucky hit in, but you can probably beat him without getting damaged much regardless.

A violent murderer who kills for both pleasure and profit, Terence has been forced into hiding after a botched job. There's a price on his head, and he can't afford to leave anyone who sees him alive!

“A MAN committed a murder, and was pursued by the relations of the man whom he murdered. On his reaching the river Nile he saw a Lion on its bank and being fearfully afraid, climbed up a tree. He found a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and again being greatly alarmed, he threw himself into the river, where a crocodile caught him and ate him. Thus the earth, the air, and the water alike refused shelter to a murderer.”

History

  • In 0.29, Terence became a much greater threat to new characters, as pillar dancing no longer works.
  • In 0.28, Terence gained a small chance to spawn with Throatcutter.
