wumpus? possible spoily... but most likely not.

exception, playing as a monk. I dont have anything special. I'm a
valkyrie with An AC of -3, A very rusty +1 longsword (ran into a rust
monster darn it), and I did have three large pets, a cat and two dogs, a
vamp killed them off though... besides a wealth of spells (found on a
bones level of a wizard i played) Basically I'm just stoked for one
reason... I killed the wumpus (possible misspell?) that is found in a
maze in the lower levels of gnomish mines! This is a first for me...
Not only that but i have lived long enough to make it all the way back
up from Gnomish Mines to the Dungeons of Doom.
My question is however, is there anything cool i could have done with
the wumpus corpse? or is it just an inside joke that only those who have
played hunt the wumpus before would get? I partially ate his corpse, but
it was rather filling... I was having a hard time getting it all down,
and didn't feel like choking to death on my first dead wumpus.... I also
killed my first vampire in this game, as well as my first cockatrice.
Ok, well i'm rambling now... But i needed to vent in order to calm down
to play level headed again.
I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

As far as I know I don't know anything that can be done with a wumpus.
But keep the good game going! :)

on The Dungeons of Doom, level 5. I proceed to notice I have a spell
book I have not yet read... So after selling the rest of my spellbooks
(worthless for my valkyrie, she is not very good at spellcasting, but
you never know when you might need a spell, so i try and read the books
before selling) I attempt reading this one.
What do you want to read? [bn or ?*] so i read 'n' the spellbook

From memory it was 12 monkeys, the one about the guy who gets sent
back and winds up in a mental institute? That was one of the few
movies that I have completely failed to understand...

FWIW, a cockatrice stones you by physical contact, not by looking at you.

They *can* hiss at you and turn you to stone, though.

No. "The cockatrice hisses." is a message to let you know that it
just attemped a stoning attack (which may or may not have affected you
due to magic cancellation, etc). However, when it hisses, it is also
attacking you physically. It cannot hiss from afar, for example.

You're thinking of two movies with Brad Pitt in them: Se7en and 12 Monkeys. =[;-)]

to hiss* lol!

True perhaps of certain kinds of mythical cockatrice, but not of the
Nethack variety.
*wizmode check* "The cockatrice is frightened by its reflection." No other
effect.
(Sheesh, I almost wrote 'affect' there. I feel so dirty.)
