    Hey folks, I need to tell you all a short story.
    I'm trying to beat the caverns of chaos, and I reach stage 6. I face mercenaries, security cameras, and trolls. Okay. I've never beaten trolls... but I have ideas and I can do this. The battle lasts with me killing the mercs, holing up in a corner of the map, purifying the regen off the trolls, and hitting them. My men are being clobbered to death, it looks like my rolls are disappointing as usual, and I manage to kill a troll. I end up with one 5 hp monk-like priest, a 30hp troll, and two security cameras. In the most careful battle I've ever played, I stock up on shields, purifiers, run cards, and hits to methodically protect myself and avoid the cameras while whittling down the troll's hp (At one point, I had nothing but a Jump! card to fend from the trolls wrath).

    With the troll at 6hp and with all but one of its cards exposed, I congratulate myself for my greatest victory and apply a 7 life steal attack with my 5 hp monk. But wait. The hidden card turns. It's thick hide armor. The roll succeeds, and the troll reaches 1 hp. It attacks with a mighty bludgeon. My armor role fails. My monk is killed... I'm in shock right now.

    Almost winning can hurt the worst. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

    letting youself assume you might have won before its actilually done is a dangerous mindset, but didnt sound like you let your guard down. nothing done wrong when you played to the Best of your options.
