I'm not dead yet, but death is most likely imminent for my Troll Fighter of Jiyva, who, after becoming the champion of Jiyva on D:7 (found an altar on D:2, which is super super super rare for Jiyva, who most often isn't found until lower lair.) stumbled upon a bit of a bug on D:8.
See, Jiyva rearranges her followers stats. Well, apparently she thought my Troll didn't need intelligence. So I'm fighting the elf twins and then suddenly feel a bit stronger and a bit less... in possession of a brain. ##crawl of course has already had me post a bug report, as lowering int to 0 is definitely something jiyva shouldn't do. So at least I will save others in the future from having yet another literally stupid death.
Of course the fun part is that brainless isn't instant-death in Crawl, it gives you a few dozen turns before it kills you. Using those turns I quaffed some random potions and discovered I am in possession of a stack of 6 potions of brilliance. Which if used with proper timing gives me ~600 turns before death. I'm going to wait a day to see what happens on the bugtracker before I continue though. So I'm not actually dead... yet. Its just very, very unlikely that I'll be able to survive.
