I have been pidling with rouge for a few monthes now, and it seems that umberhulks are rather mean creatures. I have killed them off use the scroll of geenocide before, but this has been my only success at getting past the buggers. Usually i enter a room, get confused and i then die quickly...usually by running in to the beast itself while i try to run away. How long does this confusion last? How do I get to a point where i can shoot something at it from a distance? How far does this gaze of confusion go? Please respond to the net. Andy ihuxo!schnable

If you do, you will certainly move off the scroll instead of hitting the U.
