I had a terrifying experience playing hack last night. I found a ring
from a previous character's ghost. I had forgotten that it might be
cursed, so I put it on. It was cursed, and it was a ring of
levitation, which meant I could no longer reach the ground (and any
food, treasures, etc.). Of course, I couldn't take it off. At first,
I didn't know what to do, but finally it dawned on me to attack a
Nymph stripped of everything except the ring. The problem was finding
one. I had to go up several levels (down was out of the question)
before I found one. It worked, but only because I did not posess
anything except for the ring. The Nymph stole it, and I am now back
on the ground.
Needless to say, I almost destroyed the terminal I was playing on when I
found I couldn't take the ring off. Calmer heads prevailed, and the
terminal still functions.
