[You have been granted the privilege of genocide.] I would like a little help explaining the effects of certain scrolls and potions: Potion: "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes." Scroll: "You hear maniacal laughter in the distance." Scroll: "You feel a pull downward." Scroll: "You hear a high pitched humming noise." And a scroll that just vanishes... Doing nothing as far as I can tell. Anyone know what these are or do? Carl Greenberg

> Potion: "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes." This is detection of some sort (probably magic, but it could be monster detection). > Scroll: "You hear maniacal laughter in the distance." This is a scare monster scroll. You shouldn't read these. Just drop them and stand on them. Monsters won't hit you. > Scroll: "You feel a pull downward." This is a gold detection scroll. There isn't any gold on the level, so you feel the pull downward. > Scroll: "You hear a high pitched humming noise." This is an aggrevate monster scroll. Any sleeping monsters on the level are now awake. -- -- - Jim ihnp4!uwmcsd1!james or uwmcsd1!james@wisc-rsch.arpa

Boy would I LOVE sources to Rogue 5.5. Are they Public Domain?

"You hear a high-pitched humming noise." This is an "aggravate monster" scroll, which will wake up any monster in the room you are in (some say anywhere on the level). Very useful if you are standing on a scare monster scroll, otherwise a pain in the ass. Dave Wagner
