Oh, for pity’s sake!

I was doing so well. I’d been sensible, I was up to level seven and back in town, selling stuff and buying new supplies. I was doing really well. Then I decided to try my unidentified scrolls in the relative safety of town. One of blessing… good… one of strength…. good… one of summon monster… eek!

It’s name is a LIE. A dirty, filthy LIE. It doesn’t summon monster, it summons monsters. Lots and lots of horrible monsters. Well, at least three. More than I could handle, at any rate. My health diminishing rapidly, I read a phase door scroll and found myself halfway across town.

I tried to run, but I wasn’t fast enough, and so Nigel the Skeleton Chaos Warrior dies, killed by a Culverin in the town.
