	: True. But there's not much upside, either; you will occasionally get the benefits of quaffing a full healing potion, but much more often you'll get the scalding water (1d6 hp unless fire resistant) or sewer water (increase hunger).

	::Water elementals too. They are slow enough to run away from, but they do hit a lot harder than a demon. Other than that it's pretty much risk free, but you don't get a whole lot out of it. You might get a few random uncursed potions, and you might get a ring (kicking it is a better way to get the ring). Eventually the sink will break and give you a fountain. It can be used to identify a few random potions if you do it early in the game, but that's about it. Getting more than a few potions is rare, the XP isn't worth it, and uncursed potions don't give great lasting effects - even full healing will only give +4 max HP when uncursed. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 02:27, 19 December 2011 (UTC)		::Water elementals too.
