{{encyclopedia|… during the early 1800s, the character was considered the 27th letter of the alphabet. For students reciting their ABCs, it would have been confusing to say “X, Y, Z, and,” so they inserted per se (meaning “by itself”) into the sequence, transforming the end of the recitation into “X, Y, Z, and per se and.” Over time, “and per se and” morphed into the word we use today: ampersand.

{{encyclopedia|With regards to the way of death, if you are prepared to die at any time, you will be able to meet your release from life with equanimity. As calamities are usually not as bad as anticipated beforehand, it is foolhardy to feel anxiety about tribulations not yet endured. Just accept that the worst possible fate for a man in service is to become a rōnin, or death by seppuku. Then nothing will faze you.

Nicked from the mages of VoR's Hallucinatory Bestiary, we bring you some Nethack Stuff.

Agony Ant

The Agony Ant has a weak bite, but an annoying stun. Its final act is a rumour of some description.

Resistances poison

It is not our business to teach persons how to evade the laws. We could imagine circumstances where we might, in confidence, impart the coveted knowledge, but we would rather not be asked.

Bobby On The Beat

Bobbies on the Beat are a rare type of Kop that randomly spawn in pairs. They have a Watchman-like function. If they witness the player character commit any infraction, they will call the Kops. Infractions include any act of Dungeon destruction, or the Bobby being attacked, or actually any fighting ("disorderly conduct"). Bobbies on the Beat on a level can be heard to make such remarks as 

"'Allo 'allo 'allo, what 'ave we 'ere then?"
"You can't park here, Sir / Madam."

Como banana, biscoito e engulo caroço até me engasgar.

Ae, ae!

Is this quest bugged? I talked to the orc, conviced him of showing me where the grave is. He starts running, then sits down, and tells me its right in fron of his feet, but there is no grave there. Is the quest bugged or something?

Phone zombies are both blind and invisible. Interestingly, their invisibility is mediated by a rare spell called "it believes it is invisible". Phone zombies carry a special type of mirror. Bumping into a phone zombie will anger it. Any nymph that is killed with a mirror in its inventory has a 2% chance to rise as a phone zombie. Any h, k, n, o, C, G, H, K, N, O, Q, T, or @ that is killed on a level where there has been a phone zombie has a 50% chance to spawn a phone zombie from its corpse after 1d12 turns.

It’s time to take matters into our own hands to shock these public nuisances out of their reverie and back into the real world.
