"you die. you are no longer poisoned."

[Gauss]

Can't stop laughing every time i read it
" Grima Wormtongue insults your mother"

[Ugramoth]

The nruling lashes at you with a whip of fire.
The Whip burns up!

nruling: Dafug?

[Glorfindel]

You hit the singing, happy drunk.
You have slain the singing, happy drunk.
The scruffy little dog wakes up.
The filthy street urchin wakes up. <2x>
The scrawny cat wakes up.
You no longer feel safe from evil.

It looks like that drunk had some friends.
Incidentally, it wasn't as funny in life as when I looked at the message window, as in between the slaying and all the waking up I took a rest.

Also, I am not a casual murderer of drunkards. It was one of those not-looking-where-I-am-going-so-I-took-a-swing-at-the-guy-with-a-mace-of-disruption kind of things.

I just keep confusing them for Ts & assume the town is being raided by trolls, embarrassing mistake.

The gallant flees in terror. The terrified yeek is no longer afraid.

Testing a staff in town:

The singing, happy drunk falls asleep!

They do that a lot, don't they?

[Grotug]

So I spoke very clearly into my iPad in the google search field: "Roguelike key set Angband" and my iPad returned this:

Rogue like to suck and band

Nice to know the AI apocalypse is not nigh.

Again I speak to it and it returns:

Rogue like you suck in band

and...

Rogue like kiss a ring band

and..

Road like to suck big band

Changing the order doesn't help much: "Angband keyset Roguelike"

Ring band kiss a rogue like

[PowerWyrm]

"You clear the web. You feel that there is naught but cobwebs here."

Evidently...

[gglibertine]

"You clear the web. You feel that there is naught but cobwebs here."

That made me laugh out loud.

I just found a scroll titled "hungrae". Unfortunately it wasn't a scroll of Remove Hunger.

You feel very smart! You see no more Potions of intelligence. You no longer feel heroic.

I killed the Witch King of Angmar in my most recent game and he dropped the Bastard Sword of Éowyn, which really would have confused Tolkien. (In LotR, Éowyn kills the Witch King of Angmar, so it's a little weird that he would have her sword…)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a Belend aggravates creatures nearby.

Minor necromancy.

Yeah this is weird even within game logic. Monsters with floor pickup can't take items with slay, so how can they carry them in the first place?

They can pick it up, but its (sticky) cursed for them, so they decide not to. And in the rare case that they do pick it up, it stays with them for the rest of their ....existence.

I was preparing for the endgame battles and wanted to make absolutely sure I could throw a spear using asym LOS. I tried an experiment in town and laughed out loud at the result, poor guy...

Your Spear "Aiglos" (3d6) (+15,+25) [+5] <+2, +4> freezes the singing, happy drunk (1733). It was a good hit!
