I'm confused. So scitalks are only effective for a limited time per monster?
So technically I can only talk to a Mystic Dark Frog X amount of times before he becomes useless, but I can then go and tame another Mystic Dark Frog and get another X amount of beneficial scitalks?

That is correct. That applies to all NPCs and monsters.
I believe this is similar to scroll enchantments... at first you have a high chance of getting the bonus but the more you talk to them, the lower that chance gets, until it's basically 0.

Depends on what you mean, yes you should chat with it until you're certain you've milked it for all it's worth, but for example if you sci-talk a giant dark frog, kill it, and resurrect it again it will not help you anymore (wasted some charges before I figured this one out)

anything relating to ivan you're too lazy to create a new topic for
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
Whoa interesting... not sure, maybe hippies grind up bones and mix them with their drugs? haha

Just checked the script. Orcs have infravision, skeletons do not.
Interestingly both have gas immunity, which I wouldn't have guessed for orcs. Xinroch also has added teleport control.
Even worse, necromancers have intrinsic infravision too. So the only things you're likely to fool with invisibility in GC6 are the zombies and kamikaze dwarves.

yes, but there are so many zombies, it's really useful. Mostly because they're annoying and just get in the way, but I've also contracted leprosy so many times just from crossing from staircase to staircase in GC6

Yes I've always seen a veteran kamikaze dwarf on GC6. Also make sure you have some antidote liquid, in case you pick up leprosy. Wand of invisibility really really helps on this level - zombies and dwarves don't see you (I can't remember if orcs do)

Just based on my own experience, I don't think I would be ready for GC6 or 7 with that armor... I would get everything to at least +5 first. Of course, I don't know what your stats are though

Hmm? Maybe setting mines inside the sumo arena alerts the town... 
There must be a way! *also drops everything to play IVAN*
EDIT: No... Setting traps angers the townsfolk, sadly. HOWEVER you can use teleportation to get outside the arena walls, and vomit everywhere or cover the floor with broken glass. That works just as well. You could also try spilling sulphuric acid everywhere, but breaking any wall results in the town getting pissed off, so that's incredibly difficult if you haven't got a companion to throw things at - and then you might miss and break a wall anyway.
Anyway, if you really wanted to see the spectators blow up you could just script in some big mines in the dungeon.dat file

Hmm... I was able to sneak past him invisible, but something set the villagers off, either using a wand of striking on the wall, or placing two big mines. (Can you not wish for a pick / pickaxe?)

Whaaat I didn't know you could blow up the spectators! This sounds like fun... *drops everything to play IVAN*

I was gonna say a strong trap but I guess if you're trying to skip Jenny you probably wouldn't find a very good one before then
