( last time, as in about 10 hours ago from this posting, i was killed having about 55 hit points, a +3,0 two handed sword, +7 enchanted armour, and strength of 20. i didn't have any scrolls, or potions that would help, but when i ran into it, i had a wand and a staff that i as yet hadn't identified. this applies to version 5.2 of rogue ----- and suggestions and hints would be very much appreciated. ... jim
