<=== Fifi hits -more- ===>
Shopkeepers sure aren't your average, run-of-the-mill monster. They
do no scare too easily because I stood bravely on top of my scare
monster scroll and got the snot pounded out of me. Sigh.

My favourite method of cleaning out shopkeepers is to sell them everything I have, take it back , select anything else I desire and then teleport the hell out of there. A particularly effective method for a wizard as you only need to be level 6 for ^T to work. Question - does this affect my luck points ??. -- Regards Derek !seismo!mcvax!ukc!stc!dbmk1 I've heard that re-incarnation is making a come-back.

Wait a moment! Wouldn't killing a shopkeepers also decrease your luck?!

None of this is true. Teleporting out of a shop does not affect the generation of shops or food. And killing any human greatly DECREASES your luck points. This applies to hack versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (tekecs!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!! Kill that shopkeeper, and your luck points go straight to ZERO! Zip! Null! Nothing! Rien! Nada! You'll even lose floating-eye telepathy, if you had it before you killed the shopkeeper (or guard or any @). And if you've already done it, DON'T EAT THE CORPSE!!!! I think it's the same as having eaten your dog... you become a walking ring of aggravate monster, and THAT'S no way to survive to the amulet... -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: G.

Ok. Getting no replies the first & second time, I think its time I ask again.
Does anyone, ANYONE, have the sources/diffs to Hack 1.0.3 that they would be
willing to send me. I'd be willing to pass it on to others who want it.
Boy, is it a bummer running a outdated version...
