Go as far away as you can in a straight line. Make sure you count the steps. 2. Wield your bow. 3. Shoot (ie, throw) your magic arrows at the creature. 4. If you haven't done the leprechaun in by the time it will be two spaces from you, drop the bow and pick up your main weapon. 5. Hit the wee beastie when it appears next to you. 6. Generally, collect the gold. Of course, the purpose is to kill the L before it can hit you. You should also have your best armor on. Leprechauns are only on low levels, so that you don't need to worry too much about some baddy sneaking up on you and catching you without a good weapon. However, I don't do this in rust monster territory if I want to preserve my good armor. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
