  • Dress like a wizard.
  • Avoid melee combat.

...yearns for metal crashing on metal.

  • Dress like a fighter.

...thirsts for BLOOD!

• Act like a follower of H'ruth.

Missing: Acting like a follower of Quizar. Does ><0|\/| ever want you to do this? If so, what is the message.

• Quizar's behavior code:
  • Use ranged attacks. (And avoid melee; undocumented, but you do lose favor for melee)
  • Identify things.
  • Dress like a ranger.
  • Kill sleeping monsters.
  • Find secrets (doors, traps).
  • Don't make a lot of noise (equipment choice).

...hides his desires from you.

• Various. Tricky ><0|\/| doesn't want you to know what he wants. But use the pray function (_) often to check what is pleasing/displeasing him. Good advice in general, really.
