YASD (Kobold Assassin)
Dirkster
wanted to share. Pretty easy to see why I died...no lightning
resist. I had never been to Zot before, guess I'll have to beef up my
defenses next time. All my resists were pretty weak with this
character actually, he was just so fast at killing things that it
hadn't made that much of a difference. Anyway, here are the basics:

Commiserations. Actually, your resists weren't that bad. The only thing
you were missing apart from Relec is R-ve, and that's easily swapped in
when required with an amulet of warding if a shadow dragon hoves into
view. Importantly, you had lots of RFire, the lack of which is the other
big killer in Zot (those Orbs of Fire can be *nasty*).
Lack of RElec is the big first-time-in-Zot killer: it's not *that*
useful outside Zot, but storm dragons and electric golems can blow your
hp away at an unbelievable rate in Zot without it. Zot is doable without
Relec, but is *much* harder. You'll know for next time :).
