Introduction

Sinks are dungeon furniture represented by a #. Sinks will cause anything in the air above them to fall to the floor, be it thrown weapons, or your levitating character. Kicking a sink or quaffing from it has consequences, most of them negative, with a few beneficial ones. Dropping rings into a sink will cause them to be lost down the drain, with a message that enables you to identify the ring.
