  I like the new hack, version 1.0.2, but i have a couple of questions.
How come sometimes it says "ad ae?ar um" on the floor?  I know I didn't
write it, and i don't think it's always on a ghost level.  Any clues?

  My other problem is I finally had a really burly character on level
20, and the first step into a swamp, he gets killed by a bunch of 
ugly eels.  What do you do in a swamp?  Also, what good is Royal
Jelly besides being yummy?

I think "ad ae?ar um" means that there is a leprechaun's treasure room somewhere 
on that level - one of those hidden rooms with 4 squares.  In the swamp, you need 
to be levitated (by a potion or ring of levitatation) to not drown.  Royal jelly
slowly increases your strength up to a certain level.
