reply to all those "what is this scroll message":

Yes, I agree that "maniacal laughter" is the scare monster.
I'm not to sure, but I, note that I, think that a "strange
sence of loss", at least on SuperRogue, is one of the
"detect" scrolls.  Either that, or "hold monster" as suggested.

To those playing "old" versions and wish for super armor:
For your sake, the chances of finding plate mail is 1 in 100.
The chance of finding armor is 1 in 12 (close).  
Therefore, there is only a 1 in 1200 chance of finding plate
mail (discouraging).  Also, leather is 1 in 20, making it
have a chance of being found 1 in 240.

The chances for super-items are LOW.
For example, genocide has about a 1 in 250 chance of being found.
Others, such as two-handed swords and scare monster scrolls are very low.
Please note, though, that scare monster scrolls will NORMALLY come
in groups of 2-5, although 1 is possible.

Hope this is new stuff, I've been here neting since December!
