Come back to crawl after months not playing, decide for my first run I'll do have it randomly pick my character/background.
"Demonspawn Artificer". Welp, that's going to go great.
...Yes, it did. It went great. I found a flail and started worshipping Kiku to become a hybrid warrior/necromancer. Murderized everyone's favorite scythe wielder with a potion of lignification and 11 charges of an attack wand. Judiciously used my wand of enslavement whenever I met something out of depth. Maybe it was just me being unusually careful, but I felt pretty powerful compared to other non-troll characters I've played. I fond a whole stack of scrolls of identify and used them on my other scrolls... to find out one of them was a scroll of acquirement, on like D7. Which gave me a demon whip +1 of electrocution. Then a few levels down autoexplore went past a fancy looking suit of armor which I thought was an artifact. I went back and found out that no, it was not an artifact. It was a fucking
pearl dragon armour.Not long after that I have a brain fart and go one level past lair, only to find it has a temporary portal to an ice cave. I decide not to waste that opportunity and go through. The entrance room is completely open and in sight of 8 ice beasts, but there's an easy exit two tiles away.
Now, unfortunately for me I don't play demonspawn much. So when I see a mutation which says "immunity to clouds of fire", I interpret that to immunity from scrolls of immolation and decide that would be a hilarious way to kill 8 fire-vulnerable creatures with one whack. I miss twice and they encircle me. Then I land a hit. Every single ice beast explodes, and then Kiku taunts me as I die.
