Negligent discharge

Over at Weer'd's:

I mad a bad choice by killing him with a bolt of fire. The bolt bounced and hit me….I survived that. But my potions of Gain Ability, and Potion of Gain Level (seriously! Now that’s just cruel!) boiled and exploded and THAT killed me!

I should have used the wand of sleep to knock him out and kill the bastard while he snored.

Rule Four includes likely ricochets, is all I'm sayin'.  But good backup plan with the wand.  Two is one and one is none, and all that ...
