Just had an interesting (albeit short) game of rogue. I was started
off in the following mess:
------+-----------------
|.!.....?.K...)....!@EH|
+B...=.K......E..KH.!*.|
-----------------+------
Well, I've lived through tough situations before, but this looked pretty
ridiculous. Nevertheless, I began by trashing the eye, then the down-
and-to-the-left hobgoblin, then the rest of the wanderers. The other
eye and the hobgoblin in the corner were sleeping, fortunately for me.
I wound up killing every single monster in the room, all on the first
swing. The total haul was one identify scroll, one ring of +1 add
strength, a crossbow, a potion of poison, a potion of healing, and a
potion of add strength. When I'd killed the last critter, I was level
3 with 30 hits. Woof... now if I'd only lived past level 2 to see how
long my luck (read: the "random" number generator) would have held out...
