Lines: 24 *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** An easy way to kill shopkeepers? If you have a wand of polymorph, write Elbereth (though this doesn't seem to be too effective) and polymorph the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper will usually turn into something worse, but if you polymorph him a couple (2 or 3 worked for me) of times, he becomes something good like a G or i and then you can beat the **** out of him. When you've slayed him, you get the gold from the (whatever) monster and you have a wide open shop and lotsa goodies. tp { seismo!topaz!brisco topaz!brisco@rutgers }
