*** REMOVE THIS LINE WITH YOUR SLIPPERY HANDS *** I suppose you all know that in hack 1.0.2, when you're in a shop, you can <m>ove onto a piece of food and <e>at it, without the shopkeeper noticing it. Well, I just moved onto a pile of two tins. I ate the first, which contained salmon, and then tried to eat the second. To my amazement, the tin fell out of my hands, and the shopkeeper PAID ME FOR IT!!! In fact he kept paying me until my hands stopped being slippery. (If it's of any significance, I was playing as a wizard, and my hands were -alas- empty). I didn't get exactly rich out of the situation, but I must have got at least 100 $ this way. If only one could recognise tins before eating them... -- Kriton (princeton!tilt!kyrimis) ------ "I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow..." ------

Also if you move onto a tin and start eating it, but was interrupted by
a monster, the tin will not be marked unpaid. It seems that whenever you
stand on something and eat it (in a shop) the item will be added to your
pack without you having to pay for it.

Does a wand of cancellation keep demons from reproducing? How about some other strategies for the buggers? If you're whacking on a monster and you teleport, can you drag the monster with you? I think I've noticed this a few times. Pup too. You read a unidentified scroll and get absolutely no response. Is the scroll of taming the only one that does this? I met my ghost and and former pup, which had been polymorphed into a P. So I went under Elbereth and waited for my present little dog to get some purple worm juice on his jaws. No dice. He took out everything else, eventually turning into a large dog. Still no purple puddle. Will he never attack a P? Or did this have something to do with the fact that I was only on level 4? (Talk about inappropriate levels - my former self had starved because my P had killed and chowed on everything it had come across.) Does eating a Quasit give you regeneration powers? I'm pretty sure this is true, but maybe one of you source readers can confirm it. Dave Fox ..!ptsfa!df "Blue steel!"

Eating a Quasit has no extra effect.
If there is any way to regenerate more quickly other than a ring of
regeneration, I've yet to come across it.
All of this is true of hack version 1.0.2.

Could someone enlighten me as to the significance of purple worm juice, etc.? Thanks, Steve Herring ...!tektronix!tekig4!stevenh
