So, Dominga the Elven Wizard has been going disturbingly well. I've
been cautious, suffering a recent string of promising wizard YASDs, so
food has been a problem. Already got Int up to 23, by chugging blessed
!oEnlightenment's and finding (in a dlvl 2 armor shop, no less) a Helm
of Brilliance, which I enchanted up to +3. Dlvl 5 had a hardware store
with a blessed magic lamp, Dlvl 4 had an altar I converted, from where
I got the holy water to bless my enlightenment potions. All in all,
suspiciously nice behavior from the RNG..
I start to get hungry and look for food. a couple newt corpses and eggs
later, I'm starting to become weak, and I pray to Anhur for sustenance.
Anhur is displeased?!? I coulda sworn it'd been at least 1000 turns
since my last prayer.. damn. Now I'm fainting and really screwed. Read
a scroll of teleportation in hopes it'll land me next to some food..
no.. how could such a promising wizard die like this? Wait, I still
have my blessed magic lamp! I rub it and out comes the djinni.
Now I sat there wondering why I didn't just use this to wish for a =oSD
earlier. At least I'll get a useful intrinsic from this, I thought, and
wished for a blessed black dragon corpse. Never thought I'd ever use a
valuable early wish on mere food... gotta love NetHack.
One minor question.. while #dipping a smoky potion into a b!oW, I got a
message long the lines of "Boom! The mixture explodes." Is this because
the Smoky Potion is Acid in my game? In which case, shouldn't the
explosion only result from #dipping the water into the acid?
