Famous last words ...

[grassy]

"Why the hell won't this Crow die" he asks, beating the Winged Horror.

[buzzkill]

What the hell is that!

Spontaneously uttered after allowing the Balrog of Moria to walk right up to me while casually cleaning up what I thought was an empty vault. Technically, not last words as I survived.

[Therem Harth]

"It breathed for HOW MUCH?"

One-shotted by a frost breath from the Tarrasque, of course. With cold resist. I think that thing has beat me every time I've found it, usually with one or two breaths.

[krugar]

"Going, hun! Give me a moment."

[Timo Pietilä]

"Going, hun! Give me a moment."

So true....

[Timo Pietilä]

"It breathed for HOW MUCH?"

One-shotted by a frost breath from the Tarrasque, of course. With cold resist. I think that thing has beat me every time I've found it, usually with one or two breaths.

Try without cold resist. Happened to me once when I forgot to swap Nenya back after fighting something which didn't require cold resist.

That Nalfeshnee can't hurt me, better kill this ringwraith first

Lesser Balrog breathes fire -more-
You die -more-

[Nomad]

Undead beholder? Never seen one of them before. Still, if it's too dangerous to tackle I can always use my staff of teleportation to get away...

[Therem Harth]

Not quite last words, and it happened a while ago, but...

In ToME, I had just lured Ancalagon out of a nest and into a small anti-summoning corridor. I had him down a few stars, I think. There was one summon, a GWoB or something like that behind him and out of my LoS.

Me: "Haha, you can't summon anything now! Prepare to die! Hey, wait a minute..."

What followed was this:

- Ancalagon breathed disintegration on me.
- The disintegration breath destroyed the walls around me, creating a big empty space and bringing me into LoS of the Balance Wyrm again.
- The Balance Wyrm promptly decided to summon ancient dragons.

I believe I successfully teleported away... Still, it was fairly memorable.

Rock, the Elf Paladin by nullfame:

I just found Rohirrim (in that room) and thought things are looking up now so I'll fight this Dracolich. After all, I'm invincible!

> The Seeker Arrow of Wounding (4d4) (+14,+12) {@f3} pierces the Dracolich.
> The Dracolich grunts with pain.
> You have 8 Seeker Arrows of Wounding (4d4) (+14,+12) {@f3} (w).
> The Seeker Arrow of Wounding breaks.
> The Dracolich breathes frost.
> Low hitpoint warning!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***

"Certainly I can survive one more breath." Famous last words.

> You feel resistant to fire!
> You feel resistant to cold!
> The Seeker Arrow of Wounding (4d4) (+14,+12) {@f3} pierces the Dracolich.
> The Dracolich cries out in pain.
> You have 7 Seeker Arrows of Wounding (4d4) (+14,+12) {@f3} (w).
> The Dracolich breathes nether.
> You feel your life draining away!
> You die.

Ah, memorable things:

In NPP which has "teleport toward" (or something like that) monster spell I got an CGV in 1500'-something depth.

"Wow, CGV!", lets see whats inside.
*poof* Vecna appears close to you. Your hair raises. It moves -more-
You teleport it away -more -
*poof* there it is again. Ok now I'm scared -more-
You teleport yourself away -more-
You move a step. *poof* and here we go again -more-
You teleport away. In the room with stairs, jee! *poof* and here is also Vecna -more-
You teleport it away, you move a step, *poof*, it moves -more-
You teleport it away, *poof*, it moves -more-
You teleport it away, OK my TO wand starts to go low on charges, *poof* -more-
....

I finally managed to get to the stairs and it didn't manastorm me or summon or anything with about 10-15 free turns it got, and I still had two or three charges left in that wand.

[Therem Harth]

Dang, I want to put that spell in TFork now.

[Derakon]

Wait, a monster spell that can be cast when out of LOS which teleports the monster to you? Nasty.

[Therem Harth]

I was thinking in LoS. I hope.

[JohnCW9]

Wait, a monster spell that can be cast when out of LOS which teleports the monster to you? Nasty.

Some monster do that in Sangband like poping into room from outsides.
