I 95% blame the polymorph trap for that one, 5% blame myself for not running the fuck away from the troll after I turned into a rock piercer and had to drop everything

I would've prayed to get out of that one but I'd donated to a temple of Loki to buy protection and Tyr was still a little miffed

ironically, I was looking for strong enough monsters to sacrifice and convert the altar to Tyr and the troll would have done nicely

Nice HP (tm), being incapacitated in three different ways at once, and of course it's in the mines

maybe someday I'll play a different class but I figure if I can't ascend a valkyrie I have no business wading into the deep end

"oh I hear some noises. oh something killed this gnome. gosh whatever could it be."

@songofkeys

Sun, Sep 8, 2019 6:17 PM

what I'm saying is "you hear some noises" is a hilariously overly-ambiguous message for "your pet is doing a fight"
