I don't have a screenshot but my character died a long drawn out but inevitable death...
The day starts well - Ring of Kings on floor 2! No problems with food (wand of cornucopia). Then up pops a potion of Raise Level (to Spartan).
The big problem is I have a pack full of rusted AC 2 armour. I keep holding out for something decent to wear, with 3 scrolls of teleport as a backup. Slowly but gradually, as more trolls turn up, the stash of scrolls starts to wear thin...
The RNG blesses and curses equally to all.

Hit harder IMO
It's quite hard to take care of trolls if you haven't found a magic weapon by the time you reach them...

Re: ever have one of those days.....
Yep, I've had one of those days today....... Level 16, +3+2 mace of phantom slaying, +3 elfin mail. Was doing great until my master rogue got nailed twice by those level-sucking wraiths, then accidently drank a potion of blindness but had a potion of see invisible to counteract it. Made it to level 17, encountered an ur-vile and was holding my own until I got boxed in by a phantom and couldn't escape the other monster to kill it first........had the perfect weapon for it, too <_<
Re: ever have one of those days.....
This one time, at Rogue camp, I picked up a +2/+2 shocking two-handed sword on level one, AND had two rings of slow digestion....
And bit it on level 19 thanks to 1) crappy armor (+1 Protected Splint Mail), 2) 1 potion of gain strength TOTAL, 3) 1 scroll of enchant armor TOTAL, 4) no good defensive wands (teleportation, polymorph -- all I had was direct damage ones, which is no good with crappy armor), and 5) extremely untimely RNG damage rolls.
Who am I kidding, forget the first four... when in doubt, it's ALWAYS the RNG's fault.

Re: ever have one of those days.....
My second run on the new update started out promising......even found a set of +2+2 freezing daggers. Then I got sandbagged by multiple cursed equipment pickups.......even though I had a couple of remove curse scrolls Got rid of the curses on the armor and ring I had on, took the ring off and tried another one.......also cursed, dammit Used the second scroll, picked up a third ring down around level 10, tried it on and, damn it, it was cursed too....... Found another set of armor, same thing happened*cursing loudly by this point*, then got nailed by a frakking aquator and killed by a troll a short time later*sigh*
At least the following run went a bit better......made it down to phantom territory before dying that time LOL

Re: ever have one of those days.....
sooo I decided to make a normy
Bob was doing good, elfin mail floor 2, war hammer level 5, super charged lighting staff on 11
I hit 15 and decide to start reading my un-id'd scrolls, first one vorporalize, then 4 enchant weapon, a couple enchant armor and random others
Next mob I kill drops a +2,+2 freezing 2 hander...grrrrr
Drop down another level, more great magic! so I'm hunting and mr wraith decides to drop me 3 levels before finding the +5 str ring
Made it a couple more levels before a griff just wtf pwned me out of nowhere.

Re: ever have one of those days.....
Ouch..........I've suffered death by stupidity twice today already. Saw my skeleton, decided to explore some more and dropped into a pit trap and proceeded to get killed by an endlessly repilicationg slime while trying to find a hidden door in a doorless room. Next run I found a party room on the fourth floor and got too far away from the door and got by hobgoblins and an orc. The other day I got cornered in a hallway by my very persistant corpse

Having an insane run, with my +7,+6 freezing 2 handed sword of AQUATOR slaying, and I'm hacking away at a jaber and a second one comes up behind me, so I figure I'll find another doorway and paralyze...works great until you step on a sleep trap and get raped gang bang style
LF ring of resist

Re: ever have one of those days.....
I'm so annoyed right now. I'm on level 182, and there is a monster blocking the only entrance to the stair room, and he WON'T FOLLOW ME. He only comes out 2-3 spaces from the door (in a hallway) and then turns around and goes back to guarding the door. I can't actually hit him, and I don't have any way to move him, so I can't get in. Used all 6 of my scrolls of teleportation hoping it would put me in the room. I'm just at a stalemate until I run out of my 64 rations of food...
