[Crawl] Piety award for non-kill - Bug?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

Just started a random character: a Spriggan Venom Mage. Now on Dlvl 8
and doing very well (didn't expect to get this far!).

Orc warrior was heavily poisoned. I got the message:

The orc warrior is almost dead.
Vehumet accepts your kill.

Cast sting:

You kill the orc warrior!
Vehumet accepts your kill.

Hey, I have no problem receiving double piety, but this would seem to
be a bug...

Ooops! Posted a little too hastily -- it was a orc wizard succumbing to
my poison Sting... Which brings me to a question: why does one get
piety for a Sting spell poison death but not Mephitic Cloud?

Spriggan Venom mages a relative easy to play untill you meet poison
resitant monsters.
