So I had recently swapped skills around on my L41 HC monk (who replaced the fallen L43 monk). The changes worked well I hit 42 and was well on my way to 43. I was working my way through the 2nd chamber (Storm Halls) to use Kulle's Blood. I had run into some Demented Fallen earlier in the level and noticed that explosion took about 15% of my life (because I let one blow up on me). I was generally pretty aggressive when I saw them and at one point did get hit by enough that I ended up below 50% but I felt safe.
Then I saw a champion pack of them, they were molten as well. I have never run from and rerolled a map in this game and I gave it a lot of thought here, but didn't. I thought I could string them out enough so I activated them and started running. Noticed I had one mostly by itself near a door and managed to kill it. I moved back through the door to see if I could get another one to string off, when the next thing I know I'm zipping over to them. I had let go of the movement key and thundering strike had ported me. Before I had a chance the screen went dark and the message came up. I was dead.
I still don't know what the second mod on them was. I may have lived had I popped serenity as soon as I saw what was going on.
I still like having the attacks on the mouse and utility on asdf but I do think if I see champion molten exploding mobs I'll just leave the game. Looking at my death screen shot, it looks like all 3 of the remaining ones exploded as soon as I got over to them. Ah well.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
