I've finally gotten the hang of getting past that first boss, but I'm having a big problem. All the body armor that's good (Metal stuff) is to heavy for me to use without being burdened.

Also, I found the necromancer in the cathedral's dungeon (Which is also full of alcohol). I was pretty excited and confused when I gave the scroll to the necromancer on accident. Even more when I had found out that I was looking at a different dungeon.

And then I blew it all by kicking a door and making it explode.

I just decided to download and play IVAN knowing only three things about it:
1: It's a rogue-like
2: It's an acronym
3: Bananas?

I began the game, read the tidbits of story (Which confirmed my suspicions regarding the bananas), and entered the tunnel.

Ten turns in a large hedgehog killed me. "Ah well, bad luck I suppose."

Game 2: Killed by a hedgehog. Again.

Game 10: Finally managed to get to the boss, and die from it.

Game 15: After being hopelessly slaughtered several times by a giant plant, I managed to kill it. I proceeded to the nearby town, delivered the message, and entered the cave.

Then I was killed by a zombie tourist with a flaming long sword.

Game ~30: After 10 or so hedgehog related deaths (Stupid hedgehogs), I finally managed to get further in the gloomy cave.

I was then polymorphed into a werewolf, lost all my limbs, and died.

This game is amazing.

So, a few questions:
1: How do I re-attach dismembered limbs?
2: How do I increase my carrying capacity?
3: How do I dip my sword in vodka and light it?
4: Tips on beating that first boss?
5: Tips on not getting massacred by hedgehogs?
