Decided on making an attempt at VGT with platemail+RBS+patches vampire today given the large amount of free time I found myself with. Was doing pretty well in managing curses and popcorn, and got to the 8th floor relatively hassle free. Had 8 levels of sanguine thanks to an early sensation stone and bridge troll find, and felt confident about getting to Horatio. Though my bloodcows were low levelled, it was easy to get life off of them, and I was prepared to have my first successful run.
Then RNG rolled the bloodless floor.
By this point, spiking down 5 vicious lvl 10s was impossible, as I now one-shotted my blood cows and had relatively few bloodpools due to a large undead population on the tower floor.
Sad, sad moment.
