Well, I found a few more cryptic messages after a few games with a new 1200BPS modem (rogue is next to impossible at 300BPS..). Just now, the thing tells me "Warning, connectivity problem on this level." Huh? What's that? And of course, a few random special effects: Potion: "This potion tastes extremely dull." Scroll: "This scroll seems to be blank." And do sleep scrolls have any significance at all? I'll post all findings to the net after I get responses to this one. Carl Greenberg

Dull potions and blank scrolls do absolutely nothing. They are good, however, if you like to carry all that you can so that you can use a scare monster scroll more than once. -=:| Alan Taylor |:=- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...harpo!inmet!apt ...hplabs!sri-unix!cca!ima!inmet!apt ...yale-comix!ima!inmet!apt

If your pack is full, then you can move onto it. You won't be able to pick it up, but it will still function. But the point is moot, since all you have to do is use the "m" key, which will move you onto a space without picking up whatever is there. Therefore, you don't need a full pack. -- Reality is for those who have no imagination. . . b janz watmath!watarts!bjanz OR watmath!watdcs!bbjanz

this may be a little too simple but remember that if you enchant a scroll of scare monster then when you pick it up it becomes normal. So, if you can cast a spell of enchant, or happen to come upon a game in which there is a great abundance of scrolls of enchantment, one scroll of scare monster can last you a long time. bye bye
