Well, crap. Not only is there a unique right near my entrance to the floor, it's a magic-using one. And not only is it a magic-using unique, it's on a big room floor where all the stairs are clustered together so I'm a big obvious target with nowhere to run and no alternate route to avoid fighting. Looks like it's curare time again! Already!

Oh, good! Not only did the poison work, but the needle survived too. Time to stack some more poison on that sucker.
Less good is the presence of the mite, but that's not much of an issue at this level.

Ow! Son of a bitch, this is why you can't asphyxiate magic-users fast enough. And now the mite's noticed me too because of this asshole's stupid chanting.

And a frog zombie on top of everything, too. I could run at this point and old slowed-and-choking over there wouldn't be able to catch up, but like I said, there's no other way down. Besides, I think I can finish the orc off and then deal with the others.
Time to get my melee on!

The confluence of monsters is proving... Unfortunate. I expected Blork to go down a lot faster, heavily poisoned as he is. I also expected the frog to take longer to notice me, but man I am just not great at this whole stealth thing!

Augh, crap crap crap, it is definitely time to run now. Thankfully, zombies are slower than their living counterparts; frustratingly, frogs are already significantly faster than you.

Fuck, just what I need. Something else to wail on me while I try to run in circles and get some HP back. Or step on a teleportation trap. Or something.

Fuck fuck fuck, more obstacles and more murderbugs! This... this is pretty much the end of this run, isn't it?

Oh, that's just what I need: the magic asshole to go invisible on top of it all. At least that means he spent a turn falling behind, I guess. Not much of a consolation when he has ranged spells though.

Also good is the minotaur's I-think-new autoretaliate mutation. Even if it's just a small attack every so often, it got some dudes off my back.

Boy, this... this is just not a great position at all. Can't go forward without running into imps and zombies, can't go backward without running into walls, can't go up without taking enough hits to die on the way. Still, getting some HP back circling.

I think at this point, it's time for a desperate last stand. If I can kill off the frog, I should be able to survive ascending so I can rest and regain enough HP to take out everything else down here.

Double damn! Teleportation would have been the second scroll I'd tried if I'd gone for the desperate "see if I've got any backup magic" route, and blinking the third. Should have rolled scrolls instead of trying to finish off a monster whose HP I couldn't see. Friggin zombies.
Oh well, there have been worse runs.
Next up, either a Centar Warper or a Centaur Arcane Marksman. Probably the former, since the latter sounds dangerously close to a sensible-if-risky build. Keep suggestions coming!
