Ok, I need someone to help me make sense of how I just died in Slime:6. I had an HEIE, xlvl 27, ice storm, tornado, haste, 4 runes, nothing out of the ordinary. So there I am, Tornadoing slimes around, running from the Royal Jelly, getting some minor mutations through my amulet, a bit of a glow, because I'm being forced to haste+tornado at the same time, but not even yellow yet. Oh, it's some 0.9 trunk, just for the record.
AND THEN... something, somehow, drains me of THIRTY EIGHT intellect. I am currently at -6, unable to cast, read scrolls... nothing. I rush to slap on a +5 int ring, but I am still at 0, no stat restoration items of any kind (which is, in fact, my own fault, but come on!), however I manage to get up the stairs. Where I meet a single death slime. Which plinks me to death in about 20 turns, because my wand of teleportation runs out and suddenly my HeIe has forgotten how to read scrolls. And naturally the three teleports I do get off land me within a 3-tile radius of the ooze.
Here's the stupid morgue, but it doesn't show anything, what with my spending the last 30 turns getting paper-cut to death.
