[Z] Nice find at 300'
Eric Bock
The RNG knows it can kill me at any time, and it's TAUNTING me.
[1] It should be noted that this is a modified version of Zangband where
monsters can appear this far out of depth, though rarely.

After teleporting away from Brand, using my only teleport scroll to do so,
I quietly - but quickly - made my way toward a stair OFF of this cursed
level. Coming around a corner, a bright blue 'D' stepped into the doorway
next to me, and I was presented with four messages, all the same:
"The Great Crystal Drake claws you."
I considered my options. I could attempt to heal myself, phase door, read
a WoR, or boldly (but stupidly) try to kill a dragon while at 17 hp.
I chose the phase door.
It took me three scrolls to get out of the room, at which point I read my
recall scroll. Unfortunately I hadn't quite made it out of the dragon's
sight (though I couldn't tell), and it breathed shards. One golem found
itself suddenly occupying a very large area of the dungeon floor.
I'm of the opinion that the RNG has had a special disliking for me ever
since I presented a patch for it - and this is the most blatant evidence
I've seen.

Wow, cool! Id... that IS from DooM, right? Can you post the patch, this
sounds so cool! :)
