1) Next weeks winning lotto numbers are sometimes inscribed on walls,
pillars and other varied places. It is strongly suggested that you study all
such areas dilligently.
2) The quality of equipment given you by your employer/sucker is directly
proportional to the haste of which he will resurrect you.
3) IM is not to be feared. It is short for invulnerable magic (shield)* and
directly increases your chances of finding the areas descibed in 1).
However, this only occurs if you can hit a monster while under the influence
of IM.
4) Witches fireballs should be caught at every opportunity. It is bad luck
to let them hit the wall/ disappear. The more fireballs that are in flight,
the more luck that is available, and it is suggested that you stand still,
preferably fighting something like a Aracnid while catching said fireballs.
This indirectly affects point 1)
5) If your employer/sucker equips you with a polearm runeword, it is always
prudent to put the switch in the off position when being resurrected.
6) If there is stygian dolls in your AO, it is suggested to walk 10-20 paces
BEHIND your employer/sucker. This gives said employer/sucker a chance to get
a few hits in before he can hide behind you.
7)  If all else fails, it is possible to get stuck behind a single chest.
This is a good way to emphasize your importance to a employer/sucker as you
will not be available as a shield at that time.
8) The higher your resurrection fee, the more often you need to rest. \
9) Your employer/sucker dieing is not a bad thing. This allows you to rest.
Also, it's not your gold, right?
10) The number of times you die is directly proportional to your chances of
finding the areas described in 1)
