Psh... A walkthrough for how to understand this one... 1. What medallion glows when you die? 2. What medallion is Dudley wearing? 3. What happens when you die, first thing?

"Ego-saving" would've been better, I think.

'an uncursed -2 leather sword'? (Sounds like something you'd get in Grunthack).

Leather sword does sound GruntHackish, especially since it has glass pick-axes.=/

Note for future: absurdity != comedy But this does remind me of the "killed by trickery" which I saw in the deaths at the recent devnull tournament. Anyone know how that was accomplished?

Isn't that when a "bag of"Now, this third handkerchief," Mein Herr proceeded, "has also four edges, which you can trace continuously round and round: all you need do is to join its four edges to the four edges of the opening. The Purse is then complete, and its outer surface--" "I see!" Lady Muriel eagerly interrupted. "Its outer surface will be continuous with its inner surface! But it will take time. I'll sew it up after tea." She laid aside the bag, and resumed her cup of tea. "But why do you call it Fortunatus's Purse, Mein Herr?" The dear old man beamed upon her, with a jolly smile, looking more exactly like the Professor than ever. "Don't you see, my child--I should say Miladi? Whatever is inside that Purse, is outside it; and whatever is outside it, is inside it. So you have all the wealth of the world in that leetle Purse!"

This may mean that somebody outside the game has been tampering with the files, but could also mean that there has been some problem with saving the level data when the playerThese 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.

Well, nobody got it, but rest assured that it involved Nameless, and the word "sike" (spelling incorrect) within the panel itself - thus rendering it invisible to the archive search feature.

Eh, "sike" is how we spelled it back in grade school when we actually said it. To me, psyche means personality.

I would have thought that "sike" would actually be spelt "psych"; psyche is pronounced sigh-key and is a different word which is used in referring to the Greek mythological character and the mind... Or maybe it should be "psike"? That way everybody's (un)happy!
