A potion of speed will heal your legs.  Also, eating royal jelly will work too.
When a xan pricks your legs he injures them so you cannot carry all of your
goodies anymore.  You must either quaff a potion of speed, eat royal jelly,
or drop some stuff.  You can avoid these little pricks by reading a scroll
of genocide and trashing them.

You don't need to pick something up to eat it.  Just move on top of it by
typing "m" followed by the direction.  To look at what is under you type ":"
Once you are over the dragon, type "e" and you will be prompted whether you
want to eat the dragon.  Munching mister dragon gives you fire resistance.

No.  Lowest level is 39 which is a maze.

Reading a scroll of teleportation while confused will teleport you to
a different level.  There is more to this, but you will figure it out
if you think about it.

If you read an enchant armor or enchant weapon scroll while confused, you
will "rust-proof" the item it affects.  This is good protection from R's.

			Happy Hacking!
