Wrong! I don't know about your version of rogue ("Medusas" don't exist in standard rogue), but in standard 5.3, a move in an illegal direction is completely ignored and does not take up a turn. However, when you are confused, one of the random "directions" you can move is not at all. -Glenn

[Not Wombat, you fool, WRAITH!] Oops. I made two goofs for which I apologize right now. 1. Medusas are in the de-gygaxed 5.3. I thought that didn't come out until 5.4. Silly me. Medusas are fully standard rogue. 2. Apparently in 5.3 it won't let you play on a small screen. I guess Ken put this in because so many were cheating by defining a small screen? -Glenn
