The above happened on 12/11/17 Monday. Never ONCE–in 25 YEARS of playing–did I ever have trouble, hitting a monster, with a cockatrice corpse. Well, this time, I swung back and forth—something like fourteen times–at two different flavours of lich—worrying all the time, they were going to "finger of death" me.
Instead, they decided to disintegrate me' gloves.
What naff.
