The way that worked slickest for me was quaffing potions of blindness and speed (after eating an E, of course). The speed makes it easy to get in line with the u; then when she teleports after you throw the gem you can find her again and teleport to her (with the teleport control ring) before the potion of speed wears off. A great way to unload gems, though it uses up food fairly fast if you use ^T. -- Geoff Kuenning {hplabs,ihnp4}!trwrb!desint!geoff
