    I had an insanely lethal troll barbarian with Vanquisher get killed on D:31 (or whatever number it is past casino) by eating a gorgon corpse because I was wearing my amulet of free action instead of amulet of petrification resistance. It was very saddening. Die and learn.
    I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut

    meh, from what I've seen in places where people talk ADOM, people usually learn that gorgon corpses = death when they go for them thinking something like "if I eat a fire-breathing dragon, I get a resistance so surely gorgons do the same" and then get a nasty surprise.

    The instand you see a gorgon = coward mode. Apparently DV helps against the breath.

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    The instant I see a gorgon it's berserk and blast all my ranged items in his face. If that doesn't work, then it's coward mode and cry like a baby and pray my wands kill him before I turn to stone.

    Why not drink a potion of invis? =)

    Actually I always go berserk and melee them, not thinking about consequences

    The other way around makes much, much, much more sense.

    Seriously. What are you saving your wands for?
