[net.games.hack] Mysterious Death

ccrjimg@ucdavis.UUCP (Jim Gath) (05/22/85)

I just had an extremely bizarre experience. I had a decent start on
a good game. I had 58 (58) hit points and went down to level 8. I
landed on a stairway stacked with a ghosts goods. I got:
			STRETCHES ghost hits
			$'s ghost hits
			You die...

That was it, nothing else and since I had ac 2 I find it hard to 
believe that two hits from ghosts could do 58 hit points damage. The
game said killed by $'s ghost. Was it a tamed ghost that used to be
a shop keeper or what? I had three other people who saw it so I'm
not on drugs... any clues?
