How frustrating, it's not the Oracle level yet. I'm happy that Grunt is able to kill a leocrotta in two hits with a humble rustproofed battle axe.

Out of boredom Grunt exhausted the sink getting the mandatory black pudding, succubus and complimentary ring by kicking the sink. For a minute I was thinking I was playing atheist but turns out that Grunt is a dyed-in-the-wool worshipper of Set. The black pudding's corpses, they divide when struck by metallic weapons, were wasted when they could've been used to convert that altar of Mitra in the upper right hand kinda in the middle room.

Much to my surprise he did have a wand of create monster and one blue jelly corpse later the altar glowed black as the power of Set increased over the puny lawfulness of Mitra. Subsequent sacrifices didn't give him any gifts from Set though the offering of a gray unicorn corpse seemed to prove Grunt is thoroughly on the right path.

One thing that I did learn was that Grunt is really burdened and really can't pick up more crap since letters a-z and A-Z are completely filled with stuff. He has four unicorn horns and only one is necessary.

Beyond that, two scrolls of identify revealed the steel ring from the sink is a ring of fire resistance and he has scrolls of remove curse and a scroll of light.

Tuesday I stumbled across a quiz that translates one's real life attributes into Dungeons and Dragons statistics. I ended up with:

STR: 11
INT: 13
WIS: 12
DEX: 11
CON: 11
CHA: 4

Stats can be as high as 20 with racial modifiers. Normal stats top out at 18.

Another test lets one discern their Dungeons and Dragons alignment which ranges from lawful good to chaotic evil. This time I ended up being true neutral. Previous tests had me as neutral evil or chaotic good. Guess it all depends on the day I'm having in real life.

My stats are pretty average, my intelligence is okay and my charisma is hilariously low but I figure it's pretty close to the mark. If I decided to use these stats to create a character I figure I'd choose to stay human because half-elves suck despite the fact they don't get any modifiers to stats and all the other races lose stuff that I'd consider to be useful in-game.

So at best I'd be a lame neutral mage that everyone hates? Heck, I don't think I'd have a decent enough wisdom to consider becoming a druid.

I went to bed at 5:30 p.m. and didn't wake up until 11:30 when the toilet was gurgling to itself. Upstairs Guy was doing his laundry and the washing machine always makes my toilet raise a ruckus. He keeps weird hours because of his job. Anyway I got up, put some kibble in Spot's bowl and went back to sleep. Woke up around six-ish, as far as I can tell, because I was afraid I didn't set my alarm. It was set and I went back to sleep.

Work sucks. I love Spot. All I can do right now is shout things (Olympics Guy is not at home this week) and do various things to let off steam. Training the skill of strength has been cancelled due to Cassius getting a bug. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself. Only thing that's needs to be done is filling my car's gas tank.
