    |} } } } } }|   eel did quite a bit of damage (in respect to the 
    ----------+--   amount of damage the other monsters did), but I 
                    wasn't worried, so I beat on some of them for a

    ring of conflict and let 'em go to work on each other.  Good situation,
    right?  Uh uh.  I started to fight another one, only to realize that
    there wasn't one there, only water (they're invisible, remember?)!

    You can't swim! --more--
    You die! --more--
