I've recently started playing Nethack and Slashem again lately. I prefer nethack over slashem, but sometimes I'll load up slashem to try out the different classes and stuff. I haven't played CotW in several years, same with rogue.
Does anyone have any interesting/funny stories about their heroes?
"A Samurai descends deep into the dungeon, prepared to traverse the dark hallways until he has recovered the amulet of Yendor. Hachi, his faithful canine companion, follows him into the mouth of impending doom...or glory and riches. Immediatly upon entering the dungeon, the Samurai notices a fountain. Deciding that it would be a good idea to quench his thirst, as he may not find another source of water for many hours, he reaches his cupped hands into the fountain. Upon touching the surface of the water, a water demon erupts out of the water and kills the Samurai. And his dog."
and just now: "Well on her way to the amulet, the Ranger checks her supplies. Only a single ration left, and she's had it since she began her quest. It is surely spoiled, but it will have to do. After a couple more hours of dungeon crawling and creature slaying, she's out of food and near fainting. She's heard the sound of someone counting money, and is hopeful to find a shop nearby. Finally, she comes to the end of a long hallway with a door at the end. She tries the door, but it seems stuck. Using her last bit of strength, she kicks the door down. Standing in shock on the other side is the shop-keep, who quickly vanquishes her with his wand before she gets a chance to react. She falls dead on the ground. Her purse falls, and out falls all 1200 of her goldpieces, not 6 feet from a box of rations."
