My king was a brave warrior and a brilliant strategist. A veteran of a dozen wars, his whole life had been spent on campaign. At the age of 39, he could reasonably expect that to continue for many years more, ending with a glorious death in battle.

Instead, he died of syphilis that year.

Drove that very rare find - my car - into a wall, was unable to get it back out. Left said vehicle, ran for my life from the zombies, but they caught up and gangmobbed me to death.

Circled around a forsworn archer and blasted them off their perch as they where focused shooting at my undead thralls. Go over to the edge and look down to confirm the kill, and get an arrow straight through my jaw sending my corpse flying into the air for my troubles.

I was traveling to a quest when I came upon a cyclops. It was a very narrow area, being a cliffside road.
My allies and I go to start dispatching the thing. It had a helmet, so I did what I usually do, which was climb up onto its head to make it get its helmet off. I'm not paying attention to my three allies as I'm doing so, completely focused on my stamina and myself.
Rather than sweeping its helmet off, it flails it arms, getting me at I was repositioning. I flew off the cliff...

I didn't die, however. I noticed my allies dying at the bottom of the cliff. I brought them back and went back up, saving my game along the way.
Again, we battle the cyclops. I pull a risky move by moving up to slice its legs with my daggers. Bad choice. It got a solid hit on me with its club, sending me flying right off the cliff to my doom. My wizard layed dead next to me as well. It was a good thing I saved before fighting it that second time.

Pendrake got trolled. Hard.

Basically, I was trying to scrounge up a wish for a dragon egg. I had used up the wand, so I quaffed the smoky potion I had. I get polymorphed into a silver dragon, which would be fantuckingfastic if I had gone ahead and chosen a female knight at character creation. Instead, attempts to #sit state "male dragons can't lay eggs!" So close, yet so far.

So I go ahead and explore the next floor as a silver dragon. Things are going good, I kill a rabid rat and keep moving. Then I find a troll. My lack of AC and speedy gear let the troll score tons of hits on me, but I kill him...then he rises from the dead a few turns later and traps me in a corner. He kills me, and I revert back to human form, wearing only the dragon scale mail and facing an almost full heath troll in a corner.

I zap a wand of sleep, and kill the troll while he's asleep, losing some honor but at the plus of still being alive. I suit up and keep exploring, and walk right into, oh look, another opulent effing throne room. I make a hasty retreat after trying to hold out in the doorway due to some monsters getting lucky hits and actually costing me my amulet of life saving. Yep, otherwise I woulda died there.

Going back up a floor, I sit in the corner and wait for my health to recharge, Pendrake shakily wondering how things went to hell so fast. In retrospect I really should have engraved Elbereth on the floor. After killing a squad of gnomes no problem another troll wanders into the room and lumbers toward little ol' me, with less than half my health regained.

I throw darts at the troll like he's a poorly painted wall in the back of the bar and I'm the drunk who chugged 3 pan-galactic gargle blasters. After nailing some "hits!" the troll makes a beeline for a spare unicorn horn lying around in the room. I, fearing that the troll will zap himself with it and heal, dumbly move in to engage.

Code: [Select]
The troll wields a unicorn horn!
The troll hits!
You die...

A troll finished me off with the unicorn horn...the same unicorn that I had previously attempted to saddle and tame and ultimately killed because the thing got pissed at me for throwing carrots at it. If I had avoided it, maybe the troll wouldn't have killed me...with the unicorn horn of all things. FUUUUUUUUUUU-

Is that on that mountain cliff place with all the female thieves?
I hated that place.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.
