Hey guys! Im just interested in hearing from the experts what you think killed Womgli in this ironman run!
Strongest poison ever?Interaction with lycanthropy?

Edit: 5 minutes earlier I bring up character sheet and we have full health and stats. So there wasn't any weakening due to lycan going on.

I'm convinced it was a poison that dropped your stats. Any stat that drops to zero kills you instantly in DF. The best candidate there is Personality, so you were literally too unlikable to live.

My current Roguelike character is low on Willpower, so I always have to be cautious around things that can lower it to zero. It'd kill me instantly. I can't make a permadeath character without Immunity to Poison.

Abrupt and absurd like Death!
RIP

It would be cool to have a tombstone like in Nethack, to know what killed us...

I'm not entirely sure what poison it could have been... to kill your character in 2 rounds
Gauges were close to the max, then health dropped to 0 almost instantly on second round (or was it the first?)

Well, if I compute right, and you get a bad roll, several poisons can be very deadly indeed...

Ah! Super interesting Pango! So all those poisons that drain attributes actually kill you if it goes below zero? Didnt know, then I guess immunity to poison is kind of a must have on ironman, since its basically a lottery. Thanks guys!

Well there are potions and spells to raise your poison resistance. If you are unfortunate to get poison it is likely the end of you unless you are quick with your restoration or potions.

It's possible a bug has creeped in. I had this exact same thing happen to me. I got into a fight with an assassin and killed him in three shots but he hit me a couple of times. I went to sleep right after and died in my sleep.

This happens in classic too, I've seen it happen to a streamer playing classic not so long ago.
I'm not saying I like it, but that may not be strictly speaking a reimplementation bug...
