How can one possibly kill them? Lepies always steal my gold, and i'm lucky if a nymphs doesn't seduce me a steals only one item." When stalking a lep, leave your gold behind. If you're not carrying gold and you're not standing on gold, it won't teleport away from the fight. Nymphs are much harder. A wand of cancellation will remove their ability to seduce you, but they'll still often teleport away from a fight. I use up my wands on these critters, or genocide them. If a nymph takes something you've GOT to have (like your elven cloak), be sure you've eaten a floating eye, then quaff a potion of blindness; this will let you see the nymph wherever it is and you can run it down. Even stripped naked, a strong character can defeat a nymph bare-handed and retrieve the stolen goods; the danger here is from other wandering monsters who catch you with your armor down. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (tekecs!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]
