Random kicking myself that I wanna save for posterity.
Okay. This is more for my benefit than anyone else's. To remind myself forever and ever about... one of the dumbest things I have done in playing this game for a while.
So unless you play Nethack, what's behind the cut is gonna be fairly incomprehensible, so feel free to skip it.
I don't know exactly when I'm going to stop kicking myself over this one. If I ever am.
Okay, so I start up a dwarven valkyrie and from the get-go, I'm finding a bunch of positively enchanted armor and everything. By the time I hit Dlvl 5, I find a /oDeath. At this point, I wonder exactly what terrible embarrassing fate I have in store for me.
I really, really shouldn't have asked.
So my AC's at -7 by the time I hit Sokoban. I'm rather jazzed. I get distracted, so instead of continuing, I stop for a while and then keep going. It's the amulet ending. I figured. (Mostly cuz a BoH woulda been really nice, but, hey, I wasn't gonna complain.)
Fight my way through, pick up the amulet, skedaddle out of there. Go to head back up to the mines. Back on level five, I run into a mountain nymph. Who proceeds to steal my amulet.
I, of course, don't like this too much, so I give chase. Don't wanna get too close to her, so I decide a long range attack would be great!
(Yeah, I know. Ending.. becoming... very.. predictable...)
Oh yeah! I have a wand of death!
Get within range...
The *split second* I hit the letter of the wand in question to be zapped, the ice-cold chill of realizing what the hell I just did happened. I just watch helplessly until the death ray bounces off MY amulet back at me.
Of course I want my possessions identified.
*sigh*
And I don't even have the comfort of blaming the RNG.
Just.. a little more fodder for the nice head-shaped dent on my desk.
But hey, I left bones! (That'll be fun. And I don't envy whoever finds it on hearse.)
