Forum:What's your unluckiest death?
Just had an elven lvl 15 Priest AC -25. Didn't have reflection when I got to Medusa so I wrapped a towel around my head and stormed in. She soon fled down the stairs and Perseus kindly provided a SoR, so I removed the towel. As soon as I went down after her a succubus jumps me and forces me to remove nothing but my new shield. The rest goes without saying.

- One time I actually got a gnome with a wand of death on level 1. I couldn't stop laughing. Most of my other deaths have been at least as much stupidity as bad luck. Brunhilde (talk) 04:57, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- The worst has to be having unexpectedly angered a shop keeper, I polymorphed him (surely he'll turn to an orc, gnome, acid blob, etc.) ... into a Titan. Dead in one turn. Then that bones file turned up weeks later, I recognized the level, but not the events. Sure enough, I round the corner and there he is barreling down on my level 4 character. And dead in a turn. The next worst has to be when I spent a couple hours in shops on levels 2,3, and 4 to painstakingly identify nearly everything in the game. Walked out of the shop on level 4, unlocked a door and got blasted by [something] with a wand of lightening. Needless to say, I spend much less time Id-ing everything in a shop until I've reached the oracle level and I'm heading to or have already been to minetown.Aheneve (talk) 05:50, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
"Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 zorkmids."
Playing a knight, I got on my horse, fell off, got back on, fell off and died.
Remember, even those who have spent their ENTIRE FREAKING LIVES TRAINING TO RETRIEVE A MAGIC AMULET FROM A PLACE CALLED "THE MAZES OF MENACE" can meet their dooms falling off a horse.
Oh, and to the fellow who got the death gnome, holy crap. User:anonymous 22:05, 26 December 2013 (EST)
Not my death, but it's possible to die before you have a turn. Start with autopickup enabled, start on a cross-aligned artifact, get killed by artifact blast. See http://tasvideos.org/3080S.html Kufat (talk) 13:05, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
