A screenshot of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup with my character (a mountain dwarf monk of Nemelex Xobeh) fighting Mennas, a mini-boss of sorts, in the Vaults, a midgame location. Mennas lacks most of his health and is also poisoned and surrounded by my summoned allies. My character is several meters away, idly watching the scene.

Explanation: the leftmost character is mine who, upon seeing Mennas (the angel with a shield), a very dangerous opponent, used a special ability of its god Nemelex (a god specializing in world-bending playing cards) to draw 4 cards of summoning in one turn, bringing all kinds of friends to my side (all sprites in a green bubble are my allies).

The screenshot is a result of a few turns of this skirmish: Mennas is surrounded, poisoned, and heavily wounded. I stay aside, just outside Mennas’ fearsome aura of Silence that prevents casting spells, activating gods’ abilities, and reading scrolls. One of my characters died in this aura in the past so I didn’t hesitate when I saw his name appearing on the screen.
