A Beautifully Stupid Death

Thought I would share this particular idiocy from my adventures in FoAKing. I've made it to L:5, Ice Cave. I don't have any cold resistance, but I've got lucky and it's the bears, yaks and wolves one. Sadly I'm slightly unlucky in that I still don't have a decent weapon.

Run into an ice statue. Can't banish it: it's magic immune. So I have the bright idea of digging round it. Grab its stash first, then try to continue on. End up with an exit just next to the edge of the exclusion zone.

Then I pull the next group. A few too many come, and by the time I kill them I'm down to about 20 health. I still had banish available. Another yak appears. I figure, "well, let's kill it with some zombies" and cast animate dead. Immediately one of my zombie yaks wanders into the ice statue's field of vision. Gets blasted with a freezing cloud... which overlaps to my square and I get hit for 27 damage and YASD.

Here's the morgue if you want a good laugh: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Phaedo/morgue-Phaedo-20170721-182908.txt
