After this particular run it may be a while before I play this game
again. After losing 5 AC to an oklob plant, being wailed on by a
boulder beetle, then finding myself surrounded by a 5-headed hydra and
an angry yak mob, I teleported to safety and ran up two flights of
stairs with about half my HP left. Thought I was in the clear... and
then this happened.

Also, I encountered an enormous group of orcs on Lair 2 - not sure why
they spawned there - they aren't supposed to, right? It was 2 very
large groups with tons of warriors and grunts, but no priests or
wizards. (Needless to say, they were a pushover.)

Oh, and I got the spit poison mutation (and 2 others) from a mut
potion. Never used it though, I figured TSO wouldn't appreciate me
using poison in any form.

Sorry about your loss. There's a lesson to be learned, though: You
should have rested until full HPs after escaping upstairs the first
time. In Crawl, you should never run around with less than full HPs
unless you're running from a monster on the same level (or sometimes
if you're starving and have no food).

That trap thing can happen to anybody ... once. ;)
But what of the orcs? There really shouldn't have been orcs on L:2.
Any explanation?

You can have infestations of orcs on almost any level, it's a deliberate
feature. (They're being removed in 0.5, which I think is a shame, but not
enough of one that I want to outcry).

I thought crawl´s philosophy included OOD encounters?? I always
thought of it as a good philosophy - life ain´t no pony ranch either.
