A good way to find out if the scroll you see is a scare monster or not is NOT to read it or even pick it up right away. Here is a helpful tip i learned when I started playing: 1) spot scroll 2) look for a monster (or if one in room, get him to follow you) 3) move right next to scroll .@H .?. ... 4) move on the diagonal, if the monster moves on top of the scroll, then it is NOT a scare monster scroll, and can be picked up.. .H. @?. ... SCARE MONSTER!!!! ... @H. ... NOT a scare monster 5) if it is a scare monster, after you pick it up (remember, do not] read it!!), do a 'c'all and call it SCARE MONSTER!!
