Meh. Just a question: what other ways of curing leprosy are there apart from the priestess in New Attnam? I guess Seges can also cure it, but that's as far as it goes. One of my characters (champion of Mortifer) got leprosy on GC7 twice, and the second time he got so depressed he decided to commit suicide by vomiting himself to death.

I believe antidote fluid has a small chance of curing it.

Antidote of course! you only need half a bottle so split them before you drink unless you have a bunch already. Edit: Atomic beat to the punch by a few seconds. Antidote is 100% effective.

Yep, antidote liquid rocks. Hard to come by though. If I don't have any, I just desperately try to run to the priestess. Every time I lose a limb or two, just drink some healing fluid to get it back

Goblin princes often carry a bottle, don;t forget to loot their corpses. Also mellis kicks ass, pray to him with empty bottles and get lots of antidote, potions, ommel fluids, sulphuric acid (great for dissolving meteoric steel walls or throwing at named baddies).

Or dipping whips and other indestructible weapons in.

As mentioned, seges, antidote liquid, priestess.

Also priest (charges more though) and grey and white unicorn flesh.

Possibly, but I haven't tried it, dying and being lifesaved which resets some states but not others.

That doesn't work. I know from my win; I had leprosy and didn't find out until I was on the over-map and my leg fell off. Thankfully, the AoLS will restore missing limbs; the only reason I made it back to Attnam was because I had two of them.

AoLS restores limbs when it fires. I had to starve to death first in order for it to recover my limbs and allow me to limp a bit further before another leg fell off.
