It will also not accept food from you anymore, AND (most importantly) if you should accidently hit it, it will turn on you and attack to the death. This problem seems to be worse when there's a ghost on the level you left the dog at." You can make the dog friendly again by throwing it food. Tripe rations are best, but food rations will work as well. You'll see the message " devours the "; the word "devours" lets you know that Fido wasn't as friendly before but is now. This works for any dog, not just the one you start with. You can befriend a ghost's dog. You can even befriend the Hell Hound, who will then fight for you! "Leprechauns can't teleport until they've robbed you, but thay can run away." When they're running away, they will teleport (randomly) about once in 40 times. "Shopkeepers don't get angry when you rob them, they just follow you around nagging you." This is great when you are wearing a ring of conflict. The shopkeeper will trash pretty much any monster that tries to bother you. If it's a really *big* monster and he trashes the shopkeeper, you can pick up his gold without having lost luck by killing a human yourself. Of course, you then have a *big* monster to deal with. To avoid getting stuck in a dead end with a shopkeeper blocking the way, you should only do this if either you can teleport or you have a pick-axe. "How do you wield a cockatrice without getting turned into stone yourself?" Wear gloves. "How do you get past invisible force fields?" You are only told about invisible force fields when there's a system problem, such as a full disk preventing the creation of a new level file. Check with your system experts. "What do you do when an eel is attacking you from the water (you can't attack back, because the eel might swim away and you'd drown yourself)?" Wear a ring of see invisible and you can see the eel in the pool. You can also attain intrinsic "see invisible" ability by eating a dead invisible stalker while invisible (via the potion). All this is true of hack version 1.0.3. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (tekecs!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]
