Donating to priests of Moloch?

[Guest]

Well, I've just reached the Valley of the Dead, and for long
my AC was only -9, thanks to my over-eager pets. They
killed the minetown priest and I haven't found any more priests. Now
I'm at the valley and I was just wondering, will I get any negative
effects if I donate to the priest of moloch there? Will my god get angry?
Will Moloch zap me with funny wide-angle disintegration beams?
Will the priest just laugh at me, or will he actually lover my AC? I'd
hate to donate anything to him before I'm sure of the results.

Donating, in general, isn't dependent on the alignment of the priest.
It's perfectly safe.

No. It's exactly as for any other shrine-priest, except
that you shouldn't try to convert the altar.

Best,
Jakob

Alright. Thank you guys, it worked and now my AC is a much more
comfortable -29 instead of mere -20.

Do you actually have *another* use for the money?

See previous discussion about my YASI for a Spa ..... great way to make
characters waste money.
(If you can't tell, I thought that was a really good idea....despite the
silliness).
