Lines: 28 Summary: >> Lets have some discussion on hack, and if theres enough then we >> can start a new newsgroup. >> >> 1) How many ways are there to steal from shopkeepers? Five more ways in addition to those submitted by Dan ( the Man ) Bidinger (which were: (1) let the dog steal something for you, and (2) polymorph the shopkeeper, then kill the beastie). 3) Use a scroll of teleportation (frequently you can find one in the shop you're robbing ...). 4) Use a wand of digging and make another exit from the shop. 5) Use a wand of sleep on the shopkeeper (or a wand of teleport). 6) Quaff a potion of haste self (or invisibility), then sneak out. 7) Lure the shopkeeper away from the door by throwing something at him, take a risk of being killed, and sneak past him. Do it close to the door - the guy frequently seems to be hastened. The best way, however, is to find a trapdoor in the shop. I had this luck once... -- Krzysztof Kozminski {seismo,allegra,decvax}!rochester!ur-valhalla!kris
