Today I did a little nethack, playing wiz by habit. Polymorphed one of my large cats into a water troll, just to see what I'd get... Then when running for the Gnomish mines stairway, zapped wand of polymorph at an irate shopkeeper that I'd previously robbed. Another pet large cat I'd tamed was in the way. Imagine my surprise when it survived the polymorph into an arch-lich. Now all I need to do is to be careful not to untame it, and stand back whenever I'd rather not tackle a fight... in this case? Minetown temple, altar is not aligned, I start tested the BUC status of my gear... and my arch-lich teleports in and starts going at the priest. And then my water troll joins in as well. I think I need to look up what happens to neutral characters who do own race sacrifice...
