My usual plodding effort. I stopped on dlvl 32 to breed some black oozes long enough to get a couple of Intellect and Brawn to kick those stats over 18 before continuing to descend. Took a lot longer that I expected, but in the process I turned up a Robe of Elvenkind (nether), which I expect I'll be wearing for the rest of the game. At this point I've found enough +Int items that I can successfully cast Haste Self often enough that I've switched out the dual rings of escaping. This allows me to use that sweet Long Bow a lot more effectively. Still a long way to go, and a lot of stuff to find down deeper, but looking pretty good for the moment.

Cruising along pretty nicely right now. Found some nice equipment upgrades. Found enough +Int equipment, and stat potions, to reach zero-fail (although, still no stun or confusion protection). With the regen amulet I can afford to run with temp Resistance and Haste Self both on all the time, and the ESP hat is always a plus. Only 200HP so I'm not rushing the descent. "It breaths, you die" is still a real possibility if I don't remain paranoid and continuously do detections. But I'm liking my chances at the moment.

Continuing to plod forward. I need to drop to level 70 to look for an amulet of trickery, and my Con is still too low. I'm just avoiding and/or Teleporting Away a goodly number of monsters. And I'll need to pick up the pack if I hope to finish in time. Complain complain complain. But really, things are still moving along reasonably well.

Well. I've never died *that* way before. There was a nice looking Greater Vault. Not too many Uniques, but a *lot* of nasty regular monsters (Chaos Hounds and etc.). So I read a Mass Banishment scroll to clear out the riff-raff .. and went from full health to dead.

From full health seems unlikely. Mass banishment is 1d4 damage per banished monster, so that'd be roughly 175 +- 43 monsters at 97% confidence (stdev 3).* That's a whole lot of monsters, even for a GV. Very bad luck, I guess.

It *was* a lot of monsters, and it *was* bad luck, but that's sorta the whole thing about Angband. The game is long enough that if you do things with a 1% chance of failure too often, you wind up dead. I tend to slow play, which means that (for the most part) I have to always have an escape plan, and not allow bad situations to arise. Which means that usually my characters die when the escape plan goes bad (i.e. the scroll of teleport puts me next to some even worse monster). The alternate view is to dive like crazy, which shortens the game and greatly reduces the number of times your character finds itself in a do-or-die situation.

I guess my point is that, for my play style, I shouldn't have read the scroll. Yes, I got unlucky and this was a 1 or 2 percent event, but that's exactly the sort of thing I shouldn't be doing.
