Yeah, I wasted a health potion that way yesterday too... scary, because as a transmuter, I knew right from the start that the random boss was SMM. And that's gotten me before in Ick Swamp... although in that case, it was because I found him on the very last piece of ground and didn't have quite enough black space left. Icky Swamp's generally a pretty bad place for regen fighting in general though... it's open, but the plants keep getting in the way of your access. Yesterday, it didn't matter so much in that my shops had the Martyr Wraps. Bosses were close, but on the edges and tricky to position with a level 8 in the way.
Today, the success rate isn't much higher... I guess that's because it's Cursed Oasis.

Chemist probably doesn't help much, with cutting out of usual potions (can't remember the race... Halfling?). But, anyone looking at the high score board first today is going to see that the gods are favourable... most people beating it have high piety (I currently have the top at 597, top XP currently at 275 too, but I left a good amount of XP on the table, including a level 8 shade). Naturally, that means I used all three a good amount.
