[ritual offering]

The 'f' key is a great time saver on easy monsters, but it is
no substitute for skillful melee play, and is exceptionally
dangerous on the first encounter with a new monster, as I
suspect you discovered.  If you want to introduce an element
of finesse into rogue play, start playing more carefully and
quit expecting the machine to play both sides of the game for
you.
