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.

I think i'm in a maze. Doesn't look like the "secret town to the southwest" to me...

Wasn't that pointless?

He looks to be getting along fine with these fine gentlemen, don't know what i'm supposed to do. The stage music is nice, i guess i'll hang out here a bit.

Flameborn swallows its target!
Eternal bone giant rises from the dead!

Well... this is awkward...

[rage]Is waaaaaaay OP! Firstly, since his fragments can move through stone, there is really no way of stopping him from surrounding you. Two, those fragments seem to individually be as hard to kill as the other three bosses of that story "tier!" They hurt a lot, too. So far in this play, my Barbarian's lost one life to the sand worm queen, and six, yes, that's right, SIX (I counted!) lives to this punk.[/rage]

Who knew sling stones hurt air elementals.

Nope, i just pressed PageDown on my laptop keyboard, silly me.

My second thought: where did the talent sreen dissapear to?

My first thought: this game needs DCSS autoexplore.
