Apparently, the spike pit in Thantoph can be pretty rough. :(


>go pile
[SMR result: 134 (Open d100: 49)]
As you inch your way across a strange pile, you suddenly lose your footing and fall through!
You are impaled on a series of sharp wooden spikes!
... 25 points of damage!
Shot knocks your head back by pushing on the inside of the skull!
You notice your blood flow go back to normal.
You lose your extra internal fortitude.
The dull golden nimbus fades from around you.
A dark shadow seems to detach itself from your body, swiftly dissipating into the air.
Your body pulses momentarily into semi transparency and then returns to normal.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
The air calms down around you.
The powerful look leaves you.
Your SIGN OF STAUNCHING is no longer effective.
Your SIGN OF DEFENDING is no longer effective.
Your SIGN OF WARDING is no longer effective.
You exhale the last of a virulent green mist.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You realize that you have no outstanding favors which Lorminstra owes you, and without having accomplished a deed for Her, your soul is in danger of vanishing from the land forever!
...departing in 10 mins...
[Thanatoph, Spiked Pit]
The walls of this pit reach nearly twenty feet straight above you. Strewn about at odd angles are sharpened tree limbs for impaling anything that has had the misfortune to fall in.
Obvious paths: none

RIP Sutudo.

Yes, it can.
That, Boil Earth--and its later, more annoying, incarnation: Earthen Fury--and some of the silly troll & giant tricks, were what convinced me to start running Tonis/1035 essentially non-stop from about level 55 onwards. I can honestly say that I haven't really regretted it....

Well, I was planning on avoiding creatures that cast earthen fury (and clouds, and basically anything).

As plans go, that's a pretty good one. :)

On the other hand, going up in levels it gets tougher and tougher to find non-CMan non-spellcasting critters. :(
