Can anyone explain what happened?  I was on level 16, minding my own business,
when "something" hit me.  Naturally, I figure this is a phantom, so I prepare
for a tough fight.  The next thing I know, my Hp is 1(62), so I think this
would be a good time to drop my scare monster scroll, which I do.  So, I
type "fk", and it says "I see no monster there".  OK, can't see phantoms,
fine.  Then I type 'k', and it says "you barely miss something."  Then I
type 'k' again, but this time I actually move up on the screen, and the
phantom finished me off.  Do phantoms, or other monsters, move away from
scare monster scrolls?  I'm very certain this is the way it happened, I
have 'tee' output which verifies it.
