Like a potion of blindness or poison. I would prefer to find these early in the game and "tag" them. Can't think of anything much worse than going blind in troll, xorn, and umber hulk teritory. I have found that when I quaff the potion of blindness, if I move into a hallway and do an 850(sp), your chances of coming out alive are pretty good. There are only two fronts that critters can attack you on. You have a 50/50 chance of hitting in the right direction the first time. Should someone attack, you do battle, if you survive, I then use 100(sp) over and over until the vail of blindness lifts.. This sometimes leaves you a little short of food, but I think getting rid of the vail is worth it. Phil Gunsul lime!we13!prg
