think.  what does petrified tunr you into?  now, what allows you to move through it?

>2) What is the purpose of the ring of sustain health?

should be obvious.  what state are you in when you are not healthy?  think of
synonyms that are used in messages on the screen.

>3) Why is the ring of adornment worth so much? Is it of any use?

what is the meaning of life?  everything has a purpose and a logical place in
the urogue universe (unlike some of the arbitrariness on hack).  if you
know it's worth so much, i assume you've try to sell it.  have you tried
wearing it EVERYWHERE?

try the activate/apply command 'A'.

nothing is nothing.

a weak monster doesn't mean that it's going to run away or stop hitting.
