What started as an ordinary game of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup quickly got ridiculous when I chose to play an Octopode Berseker.
That quickly got awesome when I found The Hammer of Corporal Punishment.

Our tale of legend and legerdemain begins in a small, unassuming room, all thanks to that god among NPCs, Crazy Yiuf. What was once a simple (very simple) octopode berserker finds, delivered into his tentacles by the hands of Trog himself, THE HAMMER OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT! Xavier the Ducker will now forever be known as Socktopus.
At a stunning +6/+9 with extra Freeze damage, Electricity Resistance, and +2 Dexterity, this is easily the most amazing usable randart I have ever found in this game ever.

The first threat worth screencapping – not a threat for mighty Socktopus, of course, but one for all you weak-kneed readers – is an ogre stumbled on while Socktopus is at 2/3 HP. For those not in the know, an Ogre is a huge early-game stumbling block for anyone without much armor. Like, say, an octopode. With literally no armor.
How will Socktopus solve this problem?

The same way he solves every problem: murderous, god-given rage and bloodlust.

One hit?
On an ogre?
Really?
What a waste of screencaps.

Aside from a minor incident with a jelly – which are huge assholes no matter who you are and double so if you're a melee fighter – nothing really noteworthy came up as Socktopus conquered the rest of the floor.
In good news, the jelly lead to the identification of a fireball wand; in bad news, it took three precious charges to kill the damn thing. Socktopus will need to find some rocks to deal with this kind of bullshit next time.
Until then, onward ho!
