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... ) pZ -- -- Laying here, Lyin' in bed.
