Poltergeist summoning text issue

Post by Klapaucius »

The bit about the shambling zombie probably shouldn't be there?
- From the corpse of Perrick rises a shambling zombie! (2022-02-05 06:26:46).
- Rattling sounds precede a loud shrieking and wailing sound. As you turn to the source, you see a Possessed Wooden Bedframe shake itself loose from all moorings and float to your side to fight with you. (2022-02-05 06:26:46).
- Soul Thrall Vestige, belonging to an inappropriate preposition, attacked Perrick, killing them! (2022-02-05 06:26:46).
- Your pet Soul Thrall Vestige attacked Perrick and hit for 10 points of unholy damage. You gain 10 experience points! This was enough to kill them! You gain an additional 22 experience points! (2022-02-05 06:26:46).

Perrick did really have Shambling Infection and there is in fact a way to get infected in Breath 5.

This wasn't documented on the wiki as I didn't know about it at the time, but Plague Rat attacks that roll Minor Poison have a subsequent 50% chance to apply Shambling Infection.

Glorious!

No zombies remained in evidence, so I drew the conclusion that none were summoned.
