	Well, tims@mako, here we go:

> Is there anything in particular one needs to know to beat a medusa or
> jabberwocky?

	Beat the hell out of them.

	But seriously, folks, a medusa has a finite chance of "confusing"
you on first contact and then proceeding to whomp on you...I recommend
the Staff/Wand of Cancellation -- or some other magic (scroll of confuse
monster, staff/wand of fire/cold/lightning) to kill them Asap.  Jabberwocks
are just plain nasty.

> Are Gnomes special in any way?

	Our version of 5.3 has griffins. Dunno 'bout gnomes.

> How long does a potion of see invisible last?

	Can't remember offhand...seems to me that it was > potion of
haste self, but < potion of blindness.  Anybody else?

> Do all rings cause fast digestion? (Besides the ring of slow digestion)

	Think so...

> Does ring of slow digestion cancel the fast digestion caused by another ring?

	Partially.

> Does a ring of slow digestion cause slower than normal digestion when no
> other ring is worn?

	Yes, that's why it's a ring of slow digestion.  (Sorry...:-)) 

	I think the ring of slow digestion gives you a 1dX chance of regen'ing
a snippet of food on each turn; I seem to recall X was about 3 or 4.  Experts?

> Do any rings wear out and lose their effect?

	No.

> What is the effect of the wand of drain life?

	It removes X hp from every creature in the room.  Including you.
X is a random number.

> What does the wand of 'teleport to' do? (This is not the 'teleport away' used
> for relocating monsters, unless it's called 'teleport to' when terse output
> is on)

	These are two different wands; teleport to drags you over to whatever
monster you pointed it at....Y'know it's just occurred to me, that I
oughta try "teleport to" to zip over to the stairs to avoid being clobbered...
hmm...
