I knew then that I was in the good graces of the random Rogue bug. What did I find in the next room but the all treasured boon of genocide - away with the Us and I was home free - or so I thought. I was running a little low on food so I was taking my time getting to the lower levels of the dungeon. I merily whacked Xorns and the like. Then I entered a room and beside me was a harmless potion, so being the greedy Rogue player I was at the time, I moved to grab the potion, but I was being held by a Violet Fungi. Try as I would to move in any direction I couldn't, nor could I see my captor. We all know the final result as the Invisible Fungi slowly dwindled my hit points, and my dreams of that Gut- Wrenching-Feeling fell with my hit points. After an experience like that I wonder what new bug is going to show its ugly head on the next adventure. mlf ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
