ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

My yeek summoner was going down the long corridor into the acid creature vault, in the infinite dungeon. I summoned a few things in font of me. Suddenly, my character is teleported, or pulled, or something into the middle of the vault and focus fired instantly, 1 round killed. Worm that walks getting melee shots in, Acid Drakes ects all firing simultaneously.

So I scrolled up, and I did not see Bone Grab cast. It should not have worked like that either with my summons blocking the hallway in front of me. Not dark portal, that swaps places and the Worm That Walks was right next to me using melee attack. It was happening from very far away too, there was nothing on my screen, then boom all of a sudden I'm in the middle of the vault. Dead.

WTF happened?

Worms that Walk don't have a pull talent, however if there was an Oozing Horror there, it might have been Tentacle Pull.

Alternatively, it might have been a particularly evil vault trap.

Another Alternative, The Worms That Walks didn't pull you to him - The Worm That Walks pulled him to you.

If you were pulled in through a wall of summons, it sounds more like something with Battle Call.

That's an interesting possibility. But It was just Worm that walks, acid drakes/wyrms, and those wretchlings. Same monsters in each identical acid creature vault. No rares or uniques. Not aware of any of them having Battle Call. And that doesn't have a huge range, does it?

Battle Call has a significant range of 3-7 tiles, but I think I know what vault you are referring too. You are definitely right, none of those enemies have 'pull abilities'. However, that specific vault is pretty deadly so I would suspect that the Worm that Walks just immediately one-shotted with Blindside when it saw you.

I would look in http://tometips.github.io/#talents/corruption/

I can't on my phone atm otherwise I'd hint there myself

I checked it all out, couldn't find anything. There isn't like a teleportation trap in this game? I wish I had been recording so I could show people exactly what happened.

But now I know to just avoid those vaults entirely. At least in infinite mode

You can write special traps into vaults... And yes they do exist.

Oh that's interesting. I don't think I've encountered that anywhere else. That would explain what happened though. Really nasty way to instagib a player. You're getting hit by WtW and several Acid Wyrm breath attacks simultaneously in one turn all of a sudden
