The newest news about the hack files. (3-17,300AM) ruby worth 3500 tourmaline worth 1000 Dave/Phoenix (3-16,3:00PM) Added more comments to the rumors file. 1) Trapdoors (or any other traps) may exist under objects. 2) Monsters of softening penetration are xans. They soften your legs and weaken your carrying ability. 3) A crysknife IS the best weapon vs. small monsters. Against large monsters, the crysknife is the best weapon available if you are wearing a shield and cannot wield a two-handed sword. 4) The dungeon collapses around you when you try to restore a faulty Saved game. Better luck next time! 5) Not only wizards can use magic whistles. My caveman used one all the time to teleport his dog around. 6) Talk of leprecahuns rooms vs. Magic Memory vaults are probably false. Leprechauns tend to keep all the gold that they have stolen on their person. When I kill a leprechaun, I always recovered all of the gold I've lost. 7) Does "Speed kills" warn against quaffing two potions of speed? NO! when you do that, 'your legs agin new energy' Added more observations to the monsters file: Demons only seem to replicate near your character. Chameleons only seem to change form near your character. Do carrots really cure blindness? My carrots had no effect on blindness caused by an yellow light. Are there potions of poison as well as potions of sickness? Someone should check the potions file. YES there are. Anonymous.
