So I guess illness from Juiblex doesn't just wear off on its own over time. Just assumed it would like everything else, so didn't bother to check the wiki. YASD.
Best game I've ever had. Previously made it to the castle only once, died a crazy death in the valley of the dead. Died on Medusa's level countless times before. This time I was four levels deep in Gehennom! Very exciting. Then there was this Master Lich that kept summoning nasties and I thought I was dead, but no - had a ring of teleport control and about a bazillion teleport scrolls. Used these to camp out on the up stairs, which just happened to be conveniently located at the end of a dead end hallway in the maze. Let the monsters come to me one by one and was making excellent progress until I stepped off the stairs to see what items had piled up.
Mr. Lich went up the stairs, cast a bazillion nasties up there -- in a big room, so no convenient hallway for safety. But I was going back and forth, up and down, again making good progress clearing things out, though I couldn't kill the damn Lich - he kept resisting my death wand and my polymorph wands, the jerk. Finally got ingested by Juiblex, so I rushed down the stairs to recover. Was follwed down by a few things, so I killed them off...
and then stupidly mashed on the . key expecting to just ... well, recover from my illness. YASD.
Now I know, next time, apply one of my 5 stupid unihorns... bah. How disappointing. I almost cried.
