I’m loving it so far though! I haven to made it very deep yet but love the bat room and dwarf island.

It should automatically come up on the world map without needing to deliver the scroll. It will be set on a snow tile near to Attnam. If the continent is too small then it will appear on another continent. The picture resembles a small gray brick. Let me know if you find it
Ok found this post and just bringing this up again. It's kind of a bummer if it appears on another continent.
No way to really get there for 90% of games, as most players will not be ready to face Huang Ming Pong this early, or find any other method of levitation or swimming. There are more options these days but since it's not a guarantee, I wonder if this should be changed.
One thing I thought of too late was eating a bunch of giant mushroom corpses and waiting for levitation, but I'm also not sure if it would have lasted long enough to take me across the sea.

I've taken to carrying around all my extra (intact) bottles, even if I don't know Mellis. I fill them at every fountain, mostly for this exact purpose. They also come in handy if I need to cover ground quickly, as I can run and not worry about exhaustion as much.
So you can extinguish flames with water?

I added a couple fire system bugs to GitHub. Another one I noticed was that shopkeepers will still pay for completely unreadable burnt scrolls.
I'm going to have to get used to not just kicking down doors anymore. I've lost way too many scrolls to booby-trapped doors.

Ok I guess it wasn't a mistake after all. I just wished for a wand of polymorph again and was given a ring. Are wands of polymorph not wishable?

I posted this in the shoutbox but this one is worth remembering:
I found TWO lamps in UT1 and UT2. Both had genies and both granted me wishes. (If it were later in the game I would've waited for safety in Attnam but this early I just risk it)
The second one I wished for a wand of polymorph, piled up some items, and prepared to zap... but the game mocked me for having nothing to zap with.
So I scrolled through my message history and saw that I had accidentally wished for a RING of polymorph not a wand. Facepalm. He died pretty quickly in UT3

Wouldn't human readable saves also be human writeable, aka easy to manipulate and cheat?
