Shiren tried the food.
HP went down to 1!
Hunger went down to 0!
Strength was reduced by 1!
Kechi: Hey, do you want a massage?
Kechi the masseur pressed a pressure point!
Kechi: Oops!
Shiren was defeated!

There goes the melding jar.

Anyone who plays these sort of games has had any particularly stupid death?

I was enjoying POWDER and had died quite a few times before I got really far and ended up using some haunted weapon that killed me the second I equipped it. I never picked it up again.

I don't know if it compares to being killed by an incompetent masseur, but I have been known to manage blowing myself up with a thermonuclear bomb in Doom: The Roguelike a couple of times.

(awesome game btw, check it out)

Spelunky:

"Sweet I got to Level 9! New area!"
You whipped the flying saucer.
The flying saucer falls to the ground and explodes, catching you in the explosion.
You died.

I've died in the town shortly after starting a new game in UMoria/Angband. Those dumb Squint-eyed rogues and Mean-looking mercenaries are tough when you're level 1 and you only have your starting gear.

Spelunky! So many stupid deaths. Oh so many. Example:
"Oh hey there's a sealed crate down there! I'll just toss a bomb down from this tree."
*Bomb detonates, exposing crate, but also destroying the tree*
*I fall into the explosion*
"Fuuuuuuuu-"'

I actually beat Spelunky this week though! :o

Just about any death in NetHack is a stupid death. If you aren't completely paranoid about everything you'll die. If you aren't a total metagamer, you'll die. Just by living you have a risk of dying somehow.

Well, the thing with Nethack is that you learn from your mistakes.

Example: Don't eat every egg you see. One of them might be a cockatrice egg.

Considering you'd die just by picking the egg up without gloves...

I'm sure I died once eating one but I had gloves on, so...

Falling down the stairs while wielding a cockatrice corpse as well. So many fun ways to turn to stone.
