Didn't expected that kind of demise for a newly started character.
Was running a grey elf wizard, was lucky enough to start with - 2 - magic missile book, so after learning tons of stock spells from this i thought i was settled for a while even in the case i was super unlucky and couldn't find more type of bolts (shouldn't ever happen with a wizard class).
So after getting to Terinyo and triggering the lost puppy quest by speaking to the little girl, i went to the related dungeon, as usual.
On the 2nd level of it i ran into an ant hole, you know those that regularly spawn ants until you destroy enough of them to spawn their queen and the hole become blocked after that.
As it was between me and the possible downstair location, i retreated to the stairs and waited ( w - 5 ) , magic bolted every ants coming one by one, w - 5 to get back some mana .
This proved nice additionally to level up my character, even if a couple of time i had to go overboard with losing health to cast the killing spell, the leveling was going nicely.
w - 5 , hmm maybe the ant queen is coming now ? Not sure if i can take it, i'll have to shoot a couple of magic bolt and evaluate if it's enough damage or if i must retreat to stairs and forget the puppy quest.
It's coming ... Oh, that's not an ant queen, it's a writhing mass of primal chaos .
Must be kidding ? maybe i'm reading this wrong we're on the level 2 of the puppy dungeon, let's see ... no no, it's a writhing mass of primal chaos.
Hmm, maybe that's a variation of what i am thinking this is (one of the endgame monster that i had met with my most successful characters in the past), new adom has more monsters than old adom after all, let's go with a magic bolt ! The spell has leveled up several time with my use on ants, so it's good enough i think for that point of the game.
Thing shrug it, oh it moved several tiles on that turn, let's try again , magic bolt !
That damned thing shruh it again, and now it's again moving several tile in a turn, that's way too close, time to run away , i took speed 2 times and long stride too as usual as my first skills taken from the leveling up, so i'm super fast.
Yet the thing do not care and is now next to me and strike.
You feel corrupted!
You lose blood!
You die...
So no, it wasn't a new variant of the monster i was thinking it was, it was actually that end game monster, probably leveled to this kind of dungeon, but still super strong, super shrugging every spell , super resistant and super fast.
Checking around the adom board i noticed that other people got this kind of super early game fate, some people mentionned that what probably happened is a corruption trap was generated somehow in that level and that a monster for some reason repeatedly triggered that trap to accumulate corruption enough to be transformed in that horrible bad thing.
A message about something serious happening probably was displayed at some point, but very likely missed it as after a while you don't even read those message anymore unfortunately.
Looks like my bad luck must have reached a level up for that situation to happen
, i wonder if next time i'm going to run into Andor Drakon in Terinyo
