On level 2 I found a scroll --- the scroll of genocide! i kill off all the umber hulks...and hope that a centaur doesnt kill me before i get deadly. I find +2 plate mail, a +something, + a whole lot more, 2 handed sword. (kills centaurs in one blow, yeti in two). By this time i am on level seven and feeling quite happy with myself. I find a wand of drain life, and one of cold, and one of teleport away. (I'm sitting pretty.) Then I find ANOTHER SCROLL OF GENOCIDE!!! At this point I'm confused... killing Xorn seems a pretty good idea, but then those RM are murder on armor...Wraiths can do nasty things...a dragon can kill you easily too...I decide to wait and genocide a monster that is killing me. I also was interested in seeing if i could win the game and take the scroll of genocide out...i wonder what it's worth..in real life a scroll which could kill all criminals, mother-in-lawsdec service repairmen, lousy tape drive manufacturers, IBM Customer Service Representatives (or are they included in criminals??) would be worth a lot of cash. (Doesn't sound too bad?? wait...) I am merrily killing Invisible Stalkers...(my unknown ring was a see invisible) when i fall into a sleeping gas trap and sleep until...WHAM!WHAM!WHAM a Zombie kills me! In anguish, toad terrific, decvax!utzoo!laura (actually it was more like WHAM!miss(oh please let me get up)WHAM!(oplmgu)WHAM! miss(oplmgu)WHAM!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
