Run into the worm queen right next to the stairs. I managed to nail her while blinded but got killed in the process. When i respawned i got instakilled. Respawn, instakill again. And again. In a wtf moment i stopped hitting the respawn button - the worms continued to move around while i was dead?!
I waited it out, once they dispersed i managed to somehow get up the stairs. Noticed i had zero (0) health. Rested, got downstairs, killed the rest of the worms, the quitems were gone.
I lost my final two lives buried in crumbling tunnels while searching for the teleport exit.
Adding insult to injury, the wilder summoner istarted died before reaching level 2.

The sandwurm lair
This place isn't horrible once you know the ins and outs of it but it is a bad place for starters.
Some things:
+ The dying and resurrect at 0 or - hp bug should be fixed in the next beta.
+ to survive the tunnels have a teleport rune or phase door rune handy (or spells if you're a mage) and follow the neutral wurms (the ones surrounded by a blue border) as they burrow new halls.
+ you always resurrect on the stairs so if you die in b.18 or earlier make sure to either immediately press the < or > keys or teleport elsewhere without moving. Moving causes the game to realize you should be dead (again) and kills you (I think) alternatively if you have a heal/regen that works too.
+ Going down before level 16 is probably a mistake unless you really know what you are doing. Even then it is an ambitious delve.
