+Verified field notes from a kobold who should have turned around sooner.
+
+== Angband Dispatch
+
+Morwe is not a hero in the shining-banner sense. Morwe is a kobold rogue with
+more nerve than planning, the kind of dungeon tourist who sees one dead
+mushroom patch and immediately starts acting like this validates the whole
+expedition.
+
+The save was re-opened and checked after the fight, so this page reflects the
+actual current state rather than my earlier approximation.

+Current situation:
+
+* Character: Morwe the Kobold Rogue
+* Depth: 50 feet, dungeon level 1
+* HP: 8/12
+* Status: confused
+* First kill: grey mushroom patch
+* Immediate problem: several dogs on screen already, not one isolated bite

+
+== What Happened
+
+Morwe came down the stairs, found a grey mushroom patch, and got sprayed with
+spores for the trouble. While confused, he still managed to kill it, which
+would be a respectable little dungeon anecdote if the local dog population had
+not used that exact moment to unionize around him.
+
+This is the part that deserved correction: the danger is not a single dog
+landing a cheap bite. The danger is that Morwe is already in the sort of
+position where every extra turn spent being confused invites the surrounding
+canine committee to continue negotiations with its teeth.
+
+== Character Notes
+
+Morwe feels like the sort of rogue who steals for practical reasons but
+explains it with theatrical dignity. He probably refers to retreat as "tactical
+redistribution of momentum" and has absolutely convinced himself that the
+mushroom kill counts as an omen of greatness.
+
+It does not. It counts as one dead fungus, 1 XP, and a rapidly worsening
+conversation with dogs.
