I have been having some success with Hack -- I made it
down to 28, got the amulet, and killed myself on level 3
with a death ray.  I've been reading the news, and I have
a few questions.  For one thing, what is this business
with "Elbereth" and "Orcrist" everyone's talking about?
I tried Engraving things on the ground, but it doesn't
seem to be of any use.  Does anyone know why you would want
to Engrave?

I also was wondering what is special about unicorns.  They
disappear when you hit them, and they don't seem to like
tripe.  And is there a way to turn an ordinary "high" whistle
into a magic "strange" one?  I tried using enchant weapon on
one but all it did was waste my scroll.

My last question is, is there anything interesting about gems?
I've gotten fortunes that said, "Gems are the droppings of other
dungeon dwellers" and "Don't throw gems -- they're so precious.
And besides, you might hit a roommate."  I tried throwing them
at ghosts, but nothing happened.  When I threw some into a roomful
of Orcs, they seemed to be confused, but I couldn't tell.

That wasn't really my last question -- is there any way to 
rustproof your armour besides wearing an elven cloak?  What are the
best monsters to genocide?
