After nearly 30 years I'd like to win once

3. The first Grand Mother Fucking Mystic Death

This is a way better name for these.

[Namdeht]

and about 137 consecutive "the Tarrasque (offscreen) breaths disenchantment" deaths.

Oh good, so there's still something to look forward to then

[Namdeht]

I still give grand master mystics tremendous respect -- that dude gave me scars for life, lemme tell you. Plasma hounds for you will probably be the same.

Hounds in general make me uneasy. Packs of breathers man. They breathe to ruin your day. And they travel in packs. Forget about it.

[Patashu]

Yes, everyone experiences the Litany of Deaths:

1. The first paralyzed death.
2. The first slowly poisoned to death.
2a. The first single-shot poison death.
3. The first Grand Mother Fucking Mystic Death
4. The first pack of plasma hounds death
5. The first I teleported into a shitstorm death
6. The first Dracolisk/Dracolich death
7. The first mana storm death.

And so on. You can even throw in there "The first oops did I just friggin *starve* to death death."

Where's the 'chain confused to death'?

[Mars]

'Maggot's dog death' should also be on that list, I think

[Gwarl]

I waded into a corridor full of plasma hounds, ignored @ getting stunned and heavily stunned, expecting he would weather the storm, then he got knocked out and ripped to pieces by plasma hounds without ever regaining consciousness. After all these years I don't think I knew that @ could get knocked out. Paralysed, sure, faint from hunger, definitely, but knocked out after a succession of stunning attacks? That one I think is new to me. So at least I learned something.

This is what happened to my first @ who got past DL40

[Bostock]

And while we're at it, there's the ever-humiliating squint-eyed rogue death.

[Derakon]

And while we're at it, there's the ever-humiliating squint-eyed rogue death.

And the "held the arrow key down while fighting a pit" death.

[skydyr]

Don't forget the slow/time-breather spiral of doom, and the 'my temp +speed ran out and I got double moved' death.

[kandrc]

And while we're at it, there's the ever-humiliating squint-eyed rogue death.

That's a side effect of trying to chase down street urchins for those 23 coins they stole.

Yes, everyone experiences the Litany of Deaths:

I must not die.
Death is the @-killer.
Death is the little-death that brings total @bliteration.
I will face my death.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its yasd.
Where the death has gone there will be nothing. Only M will remain.

There are times when I wish the forum had voting for posts. This is one of them.

[Namdeht]

Adding to the list when you've just killed a CL35 @ and started over and you die trying to run through a battle-scarred veteran in town.

[Sky]

I think i have the best death.

Set base delay to 10. Set *clear -auto- prompts*

Walk around .. Tombstone.

I touched a Eye that paralized me while a mob mauled me. Was dead before i could blink.

Yes, but those 23 coins are terribly important on principle, dammit,v on principle! That money is MINE! (Never mind that I could make it back in two minutes even with connected stairs off.)
