W-amulet of"The complete Amulet can keep off all the things that make
people unhappy -- jealousy, bad temper, pride, disagreeableness,
greediness, selfishness, laziness. Evil spirits, people called
them when the Amulet was made. Don't you think it would be nice
to have it?"
"Very," said the children, quite without enthusiasm.
"And it can give you strength and courage."
"That's better," said Cyril.
"And virtue."
"I suppose it's nice to have that," said Jane, but not with much
interest.
"And it can give you your heart's desire."
"Now you're talking," said Robert.

life-saving. #dip 5 unlabeled ?s in blessed !s of hallucination, paralysis, sickness, blindness, and polymorph. Drop ?s. Zap / of polymorph. Pickup? - a scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone,
With many a scalding tear and many a groan,
When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand,
Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand.
I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd
Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd--
I caught a finger: but the downward weight
O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate
The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst
The comfortable sun. I was athirst
To search the book, and in the warming air
Parted its dripping leaves with eager care.
Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on
My soul page after page, till well-nigh won
Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied,
I read these words, and read again, and tried
My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

. You found a ?oGenocide! Genocide what? Humans. You die... but wait, your medallion begins to glow!

@"Now who's the wisest in the land?"
OracleDelphi under towering Parnassus, where Apollo's oracle was,
plays an important part in mythology. Castalia was its
sacred spring; Cephissus its river. It was held to be the
center of the world, so many pilgrims came to it, from
foreign countries as well as Greece. No other shrine rivaled
it. The answers to the questions asked by the anxious
seekers for Truth were delivered by a priestess who went into
a trance before she spoke.

Well, you can, just barely, squeeze by a scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone,
With many a scalding tear and many a groan,

Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand.
I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd

of genocide on your own kind (may have been changed since I pulled it off, so your milage may vary) by
1: Don AoL.
2: Polymorph into something else

of Genocide, eliminate your own kind (you feel dead inside....)
4: Unpolymorph
5: Lose AoL (crumbles to dust).
6: Look around - all the @'s are dead.... except you. Of course, every time you unpoly, you need another AoL....

Oh, right my mistake... well, that's not the case on wizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could
find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he
would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with
arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his
wizardly strides. He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring,
as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring
and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

after Genociding humans, would you?... after all, I think she (or is it he?) is a humanThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.
