    How exactly using vampiric weapon affects your alignment? Is it possible to go all the way down to C- with it?

    Here's my situation:

    I ate oracle for learning boost. Went back to the UD remove doom+curse at the N altar I got there. But in the very room with altar 2 wererats spawned and flooded the room with rats. I managed to dispatch bastards, but now got cornered with rats punching through my armour. And then they sicked me.
    Now I have pretty low hp and a bunch of rats around me. I'm still cursed and doomed and was able to survive only thanks to vampiric hatchet the carpeneter gave me. I'm going to keep swinging this devilish axe to still alive and live sac on the altar until I get high enough piety. Though I'm afraid of falling down to CN, that would, lets say, cause more troubles.
    Any advices?

    Weapons of vampirism add a few black stones depending on how much damage you absorb. It's very possible to go all the way down to C- by using one. If you don't want to lose your neutral alignment, stop using your hatchet, or else you'll eventually fall.

    I'd first get rid of sickness as soon as possible. You have two potions of water you can bless on an altar, and two potions of extra healing. The latter will remove sickness 100% of the time when drunk, if blessed. Uncursed will also work, but it's not guaranteed. You might also want to identify your sandy and pink potions, in case one of them is a regular potion of healing - it has the same effect when blessed, and would save your PoEHs, which restore a lot more HP. Sacrificing until you're very close will also remove sickness, but your max HP is very low and it's possible to die from a last fever attack before you make it.

    Thanks for tips, I didn't know about curing sickness with potions. I survived, but it was so close. Just after I posted here a chaos brother, crystal statue and ogre magus dropped in to my rat party. Had to flee to the surface, drinking all these potions in process, unblessed.
