I tought that dead lizards were supposed to protect you from a cockatrice. Instead, I took 4 rounds to turn to stone. Any explanations? (scroll of remove curse did nothing to stop this, perhaps a potion of healing?) Darin Johnson

Another lizard trivia: If you kill a monster while you are confused (not an easy task) the corpse (if there is one) will turn into a dead lizard. I don't know if this is always true but It has worked 4 times in a row for me. As for your cocatrice problem, try eating an acid blob (preferably fresh). This should negate the stoning effects of the cockatrice. Good Luck...

Acid blobs are *always* fresh. They still disappear after a while though. -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen DARPA: stephen%comp.lancs.ac.uk@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: stephen@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4120 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.
