[net.games.rogue] Query-rings of teleportation

dbs (01/04/83)

How does one use a ring of teleportation? What does it do?
I've put them on but get no apparent results.

If you really have one, you bounce around every 5 moves or so, with no control
over where or when.  It makes searching a level or getting to the stairs
very difficult.  Do not put one on.  It is cursed.

Well, I put a ring of teleportation on once, and every couple of steps
I took would end up teleporting instead of going to the
next location.

of course, a ring of teleportation, tho cursed, can save your (excuse the 
slight personification) life. if you're running away from a T or U or X or
some other favourite nemesis, the random teleportation can move you far enough
away (read: close enough to the stairs) so that you can escape. obviously, this
is a last-ditch effort at best. on the other hand, if you have nothing better to do...
