< Guest8222> Elf-lord zapped a wand of digging and made a hole in my altar.  Is it gone for good?
< Andrio> It would be, yeah. Forgot that was still possible in this version..
< Guest8222> :(
< Andrio> 😢
< Guest8222> It's a bug fixed in 3.7.0?
< Andrio> Not really a bug. More like altars got buffed.
< Andrio> They can't be destroyed by digging or earthquakes any more.
< Guest8222> Good choice, but too late for mine, alas.
< Umbire> You have others I hope
< ChrisE> The altar puts on a ring of slow dig.

<cbus> the funeral shroud was a invis cloak
<aosdict> ... so that when you have the funeral, everyone goes "hey wait where's the dead guy"?
<hackemslashem> Or if displacement, hey there's the dead guy, no wait, over there!
<aosdict> funeral MR shroud: I hate this dead guy! why are my magic missiles bouncing off him?!

<Rodney> LucaMitC (Ran Elf Mal Cha), 84 points, T:418, choked on a lichen corpse
<bladh> greedy for those lichen intrinsics are we

<FUZxxl> there should be a bottle deposit system
<FUZxxl> where you can return bottles for gold
<FUZxxl> if you don't the keystone kops fine you for littering
<aosdict> and a recycling program for empty tins

<qt> I think this would be a good seasonal nethack monster, he appears only from December 25 to January 6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallikantzaros
<Muad> [T]hey are small, black creatures, humanoid apart from their long black tails, and said to resemble little black devils. They are also mostly blind, speak with a lisp and love to eat frogs, worms, and other small creatures.
<Muad> doesn't sound too scary!
<qt> "In other areas, people would throw foul-smelling shoes into the fire, as the stench was believed to repel the kallikantzaroi, forcing them to stay away."
<qt> hmmm
<qt> I don't know if the cost/benefit analysis there really works out in the homeowner's favor tbh
<qt> I think the kallikantzaroi had the last laugh there
<qt> "fill your house with a disgusting stench to repel me. also hit yourself on the head with a hammer and chant 'I'm a silly little girl', it terrifies me and I will stay far away"
<qt> the kallikantzaroi probably just sit around thinking up more and more ridiculous things to get villagers to do to "repel them", it's probably their only entertainment

< derekt75__> does anyone know how many items of junk can be on a square before the game has a problem (e.g., out of memory crash or something)? (NAO)
< Ferret92> No idea.   I'm putting everything into an unlocked large box named STUFF 6 containing 2380 items
< ChrisE> That large box must be getting very stuffed.
< cbus> "The large box collapses into a singularity"
< derekt75__> I only have like 500 items on this altar

< Umbire> I'd kill for any form of DSM but I also need to really got a stock of arrows prepped
< Andrio> That is the usual method of getting dragon scales, yeah.
< Andrio> Killing a dragon.
< Umbire> I'm going to attack you.

<crunchbubba> uhoh. I am being slimed and think I have no answer
<crunchbubba> wait, not green slime, ochre jelly? but "You are covered in slime! It burns!"
<aosdict> "you are covered in jelly" doesn't have the same gravitas

* peerjee (~peerjee@87.201.180.221) has joined #nethack
<peerjee> what is this room about?
<qt> nethack?
<Rodney> NetHack is a game, kinda like Diablo, but much better -- the name refers to hacking monsters, not computers. See the join message for more information.
<parted> looks like they left right after finding out its not about hacking the net
<qt> yeah it's just about hacking the newt

<NetSysFire> As you read the scroll, it disappears. Your mithril runed dagger named Sting glows blue for a moment.
<NetSysFire> so scroll of enchant weapon summons orcs for a split second
