Bad pony!

Just a few turns into a game as a Lawful Female Human Knight.

The Escort

This always happens when you attack a floating eye. I had an excuse, though.

8
"Wait! There's something there you can't see!"
8
"You hit it! You can't move!" (It's a floating eye.)
10 turns later, by the counter:
"It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! --more--
It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! It hits! --more--
It hits! It hits! It hits! --more--
You die... --more--"

I had started this with 75 HP.
Ended with 0.

The tombstone...

"Killed by a newt, while helpless"

DAAAAAAAH!


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

While hungry and hallucinating as a Valkyrie who was doing fairly well:

e
"Eat what?"
d
"You wrestle the tin open. It smells like teenage mutant ninja turtles." (Remember that I was hallucinating at the time.) "Eat it? [Y/n}"
y
"You consume pureed cockatrice. --more--
You turn to stone... --more--
You die... --more--"

oops... maybe I should have identified it first...


One-liners
"You zap the wand of death. The dwarf king is killed! --more--- The death ray bounces! You are hit by a death ray! --more--"

"The newt hits! The newt hits! The newt hits! The newt hits! --more-- You die..."


"Killed by the wrath of Odin."

Stoned

I love to go stoneing...
I wield a cockatrice corpse  and stone alot faster than killing... I do this when in  a zoo.  it works great.

I am always burdened.... 

went down a staircase and  fell on the corpse...

and got stoned myself...


It's In The Bag
Submitted by: St. Nimrod of the Shambling Horde
My elven wizard Rodney had managed to go a few levels without too much trouble (although losing my kitten to a boulder trap really sucked). About that time, however, I started to get hungry. I searched and searched for something to eat, but nothing was to be found. In desparation (and Fainting) I applied the Bag of Tricks I'd found a while back, planning to kill and eat whatever showed up. Unfortunately, I fainted just as the monster appeared.

"Here lies Rodney the Conjuruer, killed by a Garter Snake while helpless."

AAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!


Wrong Key
Submitted by: Konso
OK, Erika the dwarven valkyrie was doing *very* well, AC -45, ascension virtually guaranteed (carrying the amulet), she encounters a cockatrice and whacks it. Afterwards she thinks "I better tin its corpse so that I won't turn to stone by mistake". So...

While I was supposed to hit the "a" key, I accidently hit the "e" key...

There is a cockatrice corpse here. Do you want to eat it? (y/n/q) y
You turn to stone...

DAMN IT... it would have been my second ascension ever and second ascension in one month..

A Potion of Urine

Eating WHAT?

"What do you want to eat? [buGS?*]"
The food items in my inventory were labeled b, u, G, and S...


cough.

Down in Dungeon Level Nine (not too deep, but it's actually my best yet), I "came across a hall of leperechauns." I wanted the gold, of course, so I read an unidentified scroll.

"This is a scroll of stinking cloud. Where would you like the center of the cloud to be located?"

Of course I placed it in the middle of the leperachauns.

"The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs."

I moved one step.

"The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun is destroyed! The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. The leperechaun coughs. It coughs. It coughs..."

Etc....

I died on the next level from four goblins.

Reading the "Creatures Defeated" list, I discovered that my cloud had been fairly effective after all:

"...17 leperechauns..."


Let me ring that up. *THUD*

"Thud! You hear the chimes of a cash register."


Bombing Runs

"Crash! A rock falls on your head! It explodes!"


Wrong wand.
"The gnomish wizard zaps an oak wand downwards! A gigantic hole appears at the gnomish wizard's feet! The gnomish wizard falls through!"
