[net.games.hack] sleep wand: strange effect

gts@wjh12.UUCP (G. T. Samson) (03/17/85)

In the game mentioned in the preceding (I hope) article (entitled
"Finally I can brag too"), I noticed something strange that happened
when I zapped a wand of sleep (on the way back up) (Boy, I love these
parenthetical phrases, don't I?) at a nymph and a gelatinous cube.
I was hoping to put them to sleep to make them easier to kill; instead,
I got:

	You destroy the gelatinous cube! ---More---
	You destroy the nymph!

Might this have anything to do with my character's level (=18)?  Or the fact
that I had been throwing gems at unicorns?

p.s.	Please excuse any silliness in the preceding article...it's
	5:17AM over here and it's time to go to bed.
