The sad fact is, eventually I'll win, solo or ganging. There's no shortage of willing people.
And I already know two characters capable of killing them, but one had to abuse an arguably broken and overpowered combo, which you yourself also abused. Chances are no matter how good you thought Firhindil was, a properly prepped permalagging ranger would have killed you easier than Djabree simply by removing your ability to thirst and possibly your ability to use resist. Snare outside Village, wield spear, brandish haste talisman, eat enlarge, bearcharge bearcharge bearcharge. None of which are difficult to obtain, but some extra aura or stoneskin might keep the ranger from getting offed when you slip a DB or two in. If you wield a spear or your hands, you're probably even more fucked. The ranger tanks better than you.
The conjurer is just a matter of being a complete and utter faggot until you get unlucky and 2 rounded, or rotted and pinned in the Village. If the conjurer has perfected scrying you are probably going to eat a hasted nightgaunt while you're scrambling for the CON gear or in the middle of a raid/combat at a slight disadvantage. If the conjurer in question uses a lagging demon, the haste talisman and has a warded familiar, things get even more fun. No guarantees, and still a disadvantage for the conjurer, and a high probability when things go south the sneak will save you.
In the above two scenarios, guess what's going to buy you an out? Oh that's right, deathblow. Not only that but it's extremely fucking lucky, and you have swiftstrike on top of it.
