[net.games.hack] Most annoying piece of magic of the month.

I was playing the tourist a few moments ago, and was doing great!
I was on level 2 and had just managed to squeeze my strength to 18/96
with a few tins,found a plate mail and a good mace.
I had also found half a dozen of rings, so I ate a Leprechaun just in
case one of them was a ring teleport control.

That's when it happened; "You float gently off the ground ..."
'Great! It's a ring of levitation and I don't need to identify it!'
BUT THE DAMNED THING WAS CURSED!!!
I tried reading every scroll I had, but of course I didn't have a
scroll of remove curse. I couldn't pick up any of the goodies I
found , but what was worse; "You're floating high above the stairs."
The only way to break the deadlock would've been to attack a Nymph,
but they are not too common on that level.

---more---You starve to death. (snif)
