[net.games.hack] xans question

Well, I finally made it down to Hell and got all set to snatch the
Amulet, when I got pricked by a xan.  I eventually dispatched him (by
dropping my $ I could still fight it) and quaffed my potion of fruit
juice and nothing happend.  I still collapsed under my load.  I fairly
sure that I did not lose strength points while fighting.  Why didn't
that potion work?

(As an aside I did this as a tourist.  On the first level I found a wand
of wishing and got +3 cloak, plate, 3 +3 crysknives, and 3 remove curse.
Looking back, I probably should have gotten gain strength that early on
but... )
