That'd be crazy. Food hoarding would be a vital part of the game if they did.

Sokoban is officially the bane of my existance. I messed up one block, and it takes 4 charges from a wand of striking, an an earth scroll, and a lot of swearing to get through that level.
I beat Sokoban and all I got was this lousy bag, also remember not to use too many earth scrolls in sokoban, its bad luck.

Today is a valkyrie.

Which would be an awesome name for a nordic metal song.
Damn, if I ever join some sort of metal band, I swear that I will make this song.

 I know it's bad luck, so is breaking all those blocks with the wand of striking. I have the luckstone though, so it's kinda alright

I hate how being satiated abuses dexterity, it's crap that I can't eat all I want.

There's ways to reduce your satiation though, aren't there?  Eat icky things?  Or was that just in ADOM...

That bag was a bag of holding.  No ordinary sack, I daresay!  It is indeed very special to be a Sokoban reward.

*checks wiki*

Okay, I was wrong.  There isn't anything like that, no potions of salt water, nothing.  Oh well...

Personaly I prefer the amulet of reflection, its a much more usefull item. A BOH is ok, but more often then not I tend to find it just laying around.

I'm gonna have to start picking locks more and manage my eating better so my dexterity will stop dropping.

And yeah, a bag of holding is a great item. I'm about to get my first one. The wiki says that it decreases weight by 1/3 or something IIRC, and even more if it's blessed.

If you pushed a boulder into another, you can squeeze into the gap and push them apart. But you will need to drop almost all your worn and inventory items to do that.

Also, any violation of the rules (teleport/break boulder, squeeze into gap, scroll of earth) will give you bad luck. With bad luck you can't pray, among many other things.

There's green slime... which with a mere touch can slowly turn other creatures into green slime. The victim's skin will slowly turn into slimy green slime, and to cure the sliming you'll have to burn it off.

That's icky enough for me...
