At most, you'll have a couple hours before the toxin eventually kills you.

Really? I was expecting it to be several days of adventeruring, and symtoms only begin afetr a while and are delayed. like "Iv ben stung but I feel just fine I guess."

2 days later "Still fine, weather that was it wasnt poisonous" 4 dats layer.

YOu have bbeen struck down.

Of course, there's that scorpion in 40d who got an adventurer's axe stuck in him, wrenched it out, and hacked the adventurer to death. That thread's still around here somewhere.

Basically, don't underestimate anything that can [GRASP].
Oh god. You have no idea how much that hurt.

The paaaaaaain...

That was your adventurer?

I feel for you.

It's a little sad that there is actually nothing dangerous in adventure mode for the moment, including giant scorpians and giant cave spiders. There are things that can't kill you (almost everything) things you (mostly) can't kill but still can't kill you (like BCs) and then rare random things that may be able to kill you dependent on their special power and your luck. At least that's true for a dwarf with metal armour, a few minutes spent gaining pertinent legendary skills and not getting thrown into a wall by a giant.

Yes it was. It hurt, but it was awesome.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.
