Yep. But if they have a full set from ST + bots of speed and +20str in reserve and -million svs spell, it won't (mostly) work :) Wand of wither would help, maybe. But only if it would be a normal fight, not flee-return-eyes broken combowombo. Anyways, I've been thinking for a couple of years about it and how to deal with that, maybe I have a solution even with this broken code existing there.

Still, I'd like to offer a sponsorship of some bugfixes, if that is an option. I surely can donate some thousands of $ for a game that I've been playing (and loving/hating) for about 20 years.
