ANNOYING DEATH IT WAS!!! I was actually doing good. I found some kickass stuff in UT so i felt pretty confident in GC and i also found a nefas altar and book. So i prayed and got me a mistress torturing cheif ;). Anyhoo The Cheif was killing eveything. Killed about 5 werewolves in GC2 and then when i reached GC3 i found a scabies altar. Prayed thinking my alignment was perfect and everything ill manage just fine. Scabies Polymorphed me into a prok golem. Then the goblin patriach came and the mistress was on the other side so she couldn't help. Died and then probably eaten. :@

I was the master. I felled Werewolves and black bears in single strikes with my +5 ommel hair whip and my +5 whip of thievery. My body? Covered in a +7 ommel hair suit. Legs? +5 boots of agility, of course. And the gauntlets...OH THE GAUNTLETS. +6 gauntlets of strength. I had 2 amulets of life saving and used them to survive the dwarven mine field...The Enner beast's screams didn't even damage me. I charge down the hall and take a slight 2 HP damage hit from a black bear. No biggie, I thought. 2 steps later, I stepped on a big mine. He was my 3rd highest scoring character ever. ;_; He was my 2nd most powerful ever, but he lost to the one above him on my score list by 20 points.

Whoa! Awsome stories! You oughta make some more! Register too, but thats just me.

At the time I posted those stories I was already registered, but I forgot to log in properly. My most recent death is hardly gruesome, but somewhat funny: The banana grower had gotten himself into trouble - his limbs were torn off in a recent fight. So he prayed to Silva hoping to get one of her 'gadgets' as a replacement. But the goddess was angered by this and turned him into a rat. Unable to move to a hiding place under the heavy load he had, he waited for the effect to wear off. He didn't wait long. In five turns a cat came to eat him. Now the tombstone of my highest scoring character reads: "...killed by a large cat while polymorphed into a large rat in Gloomy Cave level 3". Made me laugh out loud.

Whoa! I've started paying again a few days ago to celebrate the 'one year since the last update' day ;) and I just had this game. Everything went pretty well in UT, I chose to go for short sword/long sword/medium armor combo. I got some good equipement pretty early and got 2 bone files on the plant level (ie, got killed by my ghost on an early game that became a bone file too). On GC1 I got 2 lamp one next to the other. I go back to the town and apply both and, belive it or not, both granted me wishes. I wished for an AoLS and a rign of infravision. I went to tame an elit guard and got all his good stuff. Until the enner beast level everything was a breese, I got a wand of cloning, 2 scrools of wishing, 4 scrools of charging and a crap load of other wands. I get to the Enner beast level; detect, haste, run, zap twice and bam! he's dead. At that point of the story I will have to say that I got only twice to the enner beast and that I never defeated him before (aside from wizard mode) and that my hearth is filled with happiness and joy. Let me say that life is pretty easy when you are invisible and that you got a big fat guard that runs around to kill everything for you to loot. Eventually I get to a fountain.... I look at it for a while before going for it... I got a few stats boost and polymorphitis... bha, it's not problem, I got a ring of poly and another one of poly control. I eventually get a cool mistress form and slice my way to GC7. I lost my guard some place around GC6. At GC7 I fight both an orc and some golem when I change back to my suckish human form (wich was almost dead allready) so I use a wand of tele on myself to find a place to heal and I get to the secret room with the chest. Sleep a little then use a wand of door creation to get out. I get charged by some orc, he hack my arm away (needless to say that it was the arm with the invis ring and the good weapon) I get imediatly ganked by everything that was around, I self tele again and found myself in an empty room. I reast a little and I get killed by some dark frog spell (I had allready used up my AoLS at some point) So that was my best run, and it was worth 18288 points, compared to my second run that was only worth 3992. and I got 3 pages of high score. So yeah, I suck. And the worst thing is that I did not got a moral out of this.... ;)

My unluckiest character so far. In UT1 has trouble killing an unarmed zombie with a longsword, barely escapes death. Five minutes after, falls into a fountain and ends up in UT2. Drinks from the fountain there and gets two conical momo slimes for a present. Unable to move - legs stuck to icky green stuff. Loses an arm in the struggle. Panics. Starts running, all covered in slimy goo. Gets head partially dissolved by acidic slime. Tries to leave the room. Yanks on the door - locked. Kicks the door - boobytrapped. Gets hit by an explosion. Finds himself missing another arm and a leg. Begins hopping down the corridor. Spots a jackal. Starts hopping back. Has groin dissolved by acidic slime. Dies. I hope that jackal choked on his meal.

I went down into UT1 to find a fountain just beside me."hmm" I thought, "nothing bad can happen this early, can it?". drank from the fountain 2 times, and each time, the fountain spat out friendly giant spiders. Beanbrain the human, starved to death while trapped in spider web.

on about my tenth time through the game, I was doing pretty good. I forget what stuff I had, but I had a bunch of Gods, and a mistress. I had made it to GC2, which was pretty good for me back then (the farthest I had gone was GC3). so everything is buzzing along great, and then I open a door, and lose an arm to the werewolf on the other side (it was the room in GC2 filled with wolves, which I didn't know even existed at the time). I try to fight him, but he severs my leg. so at this point I panic (not in the game) and try to run away, but the werewolf cuts off my other leg. I try to valiently fight on, but next goes my last appendage. meanwhile, my mistress is happily eating the remains of some other monster about 5 spaces away (at the limits of my vision). I prayed to seges, no help there, just some eerily altered stomach contence because she's being pissy. I then pray to locratas, who gives me a leg (of what I forget). I hop 1 space on that and it gets cut off again. and the mistress was still feasting happily while my head is bitten off. I stopped playing IVAN for about a week.

Great sig. If I can get myself to understand the AI code (which I won't be able to) I might edit that some, so that your pet would help you in that situation...

Hahah, better her then you, eh?

"...killed by a large cat while polymorphed into a large rat in Gloomy Cave level 3". That EXCACT same thing happened to me just a few short minuets ago... It isn't cool...

Turox is awesome. Polypiling is dangerous. This death isn't particularly gruesome, other than in the bits of enemy that I was spraying all over the place. And the death actually has little or nothing to do with Turox itself. UT1 gave me an iron mace +1, so I decided to persue Neerc se'Ulb. Smashing along, eventually get to where I can use a shield with my mace. Go Ebony! Back to beating things to pulps. My gear gets pretty good, I find Turox in the meteoric steel box in the GC (I melted the walls, but realized I didn't need to; my mithril pick-axe could cut it... I also had a mithril shield +2 by now, just a side note). From there it becomes a mess. Monsters are exploding left and right, and the smoke is starting to get a bit annoying. More meat than I can possibly eat. I find a wand of poly and a scroll of charging, and go on a poly-piling spree. My stats go up quite a bit between all the carrots, ommel juices, and books. Mortifer likes me; I get him up to extremely pleased at one point, but can't manage to get the champion that I need for a prayer and Neerc. I've got 5 SoEW sitting in my box with my wands, waiting for a wand of cloneing/mirroring. I decide to check out the mine room. After running about the whole place quickly and spotting the mines, I start gathering loot... That's when Guuzgamesh decides to spawn in the room, run up on me (took him two turns to cross my entire very expansive line of sight-- I had 19 Per), and kill me in two rounds. *sob*

Apologies for the double post but it's been 7 hours and this just happened. Somagu set the conditions for the game: blunt weapons only. Over the course of the game I used a steel mace from UT1, a mithril mace +3 from Cruentus and an oak shield, and Neerc se'Ulb, which I enchanted up to +9. I <3 that weapon. I probably would have gotten a lot further and scored a lot higher, except upon entering GC5, I found the Enner Beast. Adjacent to the stairs. Instant death. Even less of a chance for reaction as with my previous death. How the crap are you supposed to survive something like that, is my question.

Most Favoritest Death: In UT1, very close to the beginning, I've fought my way past a zombie and a mushroom or two, but still haven't found a weapon. Puppy ate the zombie, so I told him to stop following me (one too many times catching Leperousy from him) and I am thus on my own. Ahead, I see: A hedgehog. Hmm... I can take him. So, I attack, miss. Attack, miss. He bites off my leg. I panic. Ok... maybe I can't take him. Let's see if we can hop our way free... I start hopping frantically back towards the enterance, with vague hopes of winning free, or running into the Puppy for a distraction. I make it about halfway to the stairs when... the hedgehog bites off my other leg. :cry: Alright, I'm not encumbered or anything, so I start rolling, frantically, towards the stairs (and salvation.) Make it a few squares when he takes an arm. Next attack he starts on my head, but rather than severing it easily and quickly like the other limbs, this one takes about three bites, as he gnaws his way through my jugular. Bloody Hedgehogs.

Lmao, Very nice. Hedgehogs taste nicely, btw. :) Welcome to the forums, by the way. Have a good stay. Rent is $560245.22 a night, and your room is the tiny one in the corner by the laundry room. No, I'm kidding. It's next to the highway. :P
