Has anyone figured out what the various gods do ? For example, one named Skolcus Skulbones phases after you and fires nasty magic misiles and calls storm giants. And there was a greater god whom I zapped with a disintegrater at least 15 times and hacked on with a good weapon and he still didn't go down. Anyone know any other gods ? Or how to find out what they do ? RAKON THE INQUISITIVE
