If you can keep both Seges and Mellis happy, you can eat the school food Mellis gives you, and pray to Seges to remove the poisoning. But you've already said you want to keep danger level down.

Ah, that's right. SoCM and corpse. Sorry 'bout the confusion.

Was there a corpse on the square/in your inventory? Pretty sure that corpses & repair scrolls is a known bug.

Wasn't there a section on the old forum where people were posting bones files to share with the community? Is it still around somewhere, or could we start it up again?
