[...] How long will blinding from a cream pie or camera last?
Quite contrary to another posters game where the Random Number GodThe potion of blindness would be perfect for this and lasts for at least
blessed his character in many respects, my current Tourist reached
the quest levels and still lacking elementary items. Just shortly
before opening the door of the Beholder's room I got aware that I
was not only lacking reflection, and also magic resistance, but so
elementary items like a blindfold or towel. Clearly it would not
be a good idea to face that beast unprotected. Then I wanted to get
the cursed -9 gray dragon scales from the Lawful quest to have some
means of MR, even though I was also lacking enchant armor scrolls
to fabricate dragon armor. Moreover, a random golden naga in that
quest magically destroyed my +3 large shield and my cloak before I
even got aware of that attack. But I was still lucky that he hadn't
destroyed my magical armor, Whisperfeet and Gauntlets of Defense.
So I slowed down a bit, managed to cancel the scales, identified a
yet unknown scroll of enchant armor, enchanted my Frostbrand to +4,
and I am ready for the Tourist quest at least (or so do I think).
Note aside: It came to my mind to use a cream pie to blind myself
to face the Beholder. Another option would be to use the camera.
But I was anxious that the effects would wear off before I killed
the critter. - How long will blinding from a cream pie or camera

I looked at the slash'em sources: 1 to 25 turns for all three of

upwards so that it falls back down on self. [...]

The potion of blindness would be perfect for this and lasts for at least
125 turns… Unless you've watered all of them down already, of course.
What I do complain about is games where I don't have a co-aligned
altar in gnometown and there are no altars all the way up to
medusa's. That freaking sucks. And it happens to me all the time.
Without an artifact weapon or a source of holy water I'm really boned
and I don't know how to adapt past that.

in Slashem, but there you can at least find a co-aligned altar in
the Lawful quest; though that means you must survive until level
15-19 which is for sure not a given.
