So I just got further than any of my previous characters, this time with a Fighter. I was really excited because I finished the anti-magic quest and was beginning to get some of those skills, and I just defeated The Master and unlocked Yeeks.. I was level 28 and was starting to feel very confident about things.
Then I found some random crypt, entered, and got my ass handed to me summarily. I wouldn't have been too perturbed by it — these things happen, after all — but there was no entrance to it, so 'resurrecting' just sent me to my death over and over again. If you're going to give the player lives, I say make them mean something. This was pretty frustrating.
Ah, well. *rolls another character* ;)

Congrats on getting that far,
Congrats on getting that far, and I sympathize. The crypt quest is one of the hardest in the game. In fact it is really a death trap unless you have a solid strategy for dealing with casters and even then you need to have the right Wild (cures hex/curse/disease) and a decent sized regen or heal AND an exit strategy (Rune of teleport or controlled phase door). Fighter is particularly hard because the class does not deal with any of these problems innately. Rush is the only real way to deal with Casters, along with Shield pummel and Assault.
My advice is: If you get this quest before you have solved these issues skip it. The reward is trivial and the end result does not make a difference to your character whatsoever.
Blight Resistance
Another hint: Collect items that increase your resistance against blight (Vitalizing amulet, ring of blight, Girdle of the Calm Water,...)
Thanks
Thanks for the tips! Oddly enough, blight was my highest resist at the time (58%) and it still didn't help whatsoever. :P
