My first action was to decend the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs was an eye (that immediately paralyzed me) and a group of kobolds (who killed me while I was paralyzed).
Thats an infamous occurence that has happened to all of the old-timers. Back then, it didnt take any kobolds to do the killing, too; the eye would do damage on its own and keep you chain-paralyzed till you were dead. This has been changed lately so now it does require a kobold, too.
Having an evil eye right at the stairs is unavoidable, but even if you make it past that point, you can still run into it before you have a chance to see it if you have light radius of only 1 - a torch - and the old saying "buy lantern, kill Morgoth", while omitting a bit inbetween those two steps, was valid advice insofar as it would make sure you had light radius 2 from the start.
Huh, I thought you're supposed to be guaranteed to have the first move on any level. I'm quite certain you do in O. I figured this was why one of the main methods to die this way involves recalling onto one side of a dark room, detecting, and then being breathed on by ten hounds or a drolem or Kavlax or something.
rangers can summon one gravity hound which can breath gravity which can throw you into a room full of plasma hounds.
