From cad800337da4076cd725294f11fcc4cecf787e93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Meyer Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2023 11:19:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add rumors related to sink, hand-washing changes These can hint at some of the changes that make it possible to dip potions in sinks to potentially get a hint to their identity, and wash your hands in sinks, pools, and fountains. I also mentioned rings in the potion/sink rumor since there didn't seem to be a rumor about the sink ring ID mechanic already (though there may be one in coded language that my grepping didn't catch). The false rumor about hand-washing felt to me like a good spot for a Macbeth reference. --- dat/rumors.fal | 1 + dat/rumors.tru | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/dat/rumors.fal b/dat/rumors.fal index 1aad6266b..721e13d8c 100644 --- a/dat/rumors.fal +++ b/dat/rumors.fal @@ -81,6 +81,7 @@ Housecats have nine lives, kittens only one.
