The samurai that I was talking to Worm about the other night died.

I went to a fountain and took a drink. I enjoyed the water.

I took a second sip. 6 water moccasins came out of it. Har har har, fuck those guys. I tried to run away, but there was a dead end, so I had to fight my way out.

I had one scroll unidentified, and while I *knew* that I should have read it, I didn't. It was a scare monster scroll, which hopefully would have bought me some time. The lack of healing, except for resting, really pisses me off.

Anwyay.

They have to be on one of the 8 squares adjacent to the downstairs.

Does the pet go down stairs? In Nethack. They go down the stairs in real life, in fact, they fling themselves down it.

I'm worried that my pet doesn't come along with me as often as he should and if I should do something there.

Nethack really is the killer app (so far) for this GP2X. It's too bad that it's difficult to say and type that model name, because it's a marvelous little device otherwise.
