This happened to me once... but it was a bones file. Full of Create Monster'd nasties.

13 gold pieces and an agate stone is nothing to sneeze at

Ah-choo!

Coughs Dudley's going to need a lot of food... coughs

Dudley can probably do fine between corpses, death drops, and timely prayer. It's that pesky Dogley you should be worried about.

Everyone knows that if Dogley's ever in trouble, he fakes his death and quaffs a Semi blessed/semi cursed potion of gain level, which takes him to the Dogley Dimension, where his hunger clock is reset.

Oops, not sure how that got reset. The "semi-cursed potion of gain level" idea is interesting, but why (and how) would Dogley have to fake his death to do that?

Dudley intensely dislikes the Dogley Dimension, ever since Dogley lied to him about it. Dudley still inexplicably possesses the Un-ID'd wand from way back then, though he has died many times since then. He's tested the wand on many different creatures, with horrifying results (coughs Stone Soup's Abominations coughs). Dogley's terrified of it.
