[Crawl] Steam and other vapours...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

I'm in the Swamp and zapped a wand of flame at some fleeing monsters
(green 'J' and red wasps), and now there's a rosy cloud of flame
above some shallow water, and next to it is a green cloud of poison
gases (not from any monster) also above shallow water. I just
thought this is rather a neat change from all the usual steam, but I
hadn't seen (or noticed) it before...

The question is, why haven't I seen this before, and what actually
causes this instead of common steam. The Swamp itself? (Would be
even neater.)

That would make sense. Igniting marsh gas effects.

You probably mistyped and used that wand of polymorph you mention
in your other port.

That's what I thought, too. When I find another wand of flame I'll
go back there and zap around a bit.
