Gehennom and lava in 5.0
First 5.0 game and, as someone who is both paranoid and fat-fingered, I'm somewhat taken aback by the amount of lava everywhere. I have not found an amulet of flying, which I understand would make me largely able to ignore it. So I'm stuck repeatedly putting on and taking off the ring of levitation.
Some questions about the paranoid settings: am I correct that it will not let me just hit the wrong key and step off into the lava without warning me? What if I have previously seen the lava but currently have on a blindfold?
(I am of course taking for granted that I need to be levitating every time I fight monster that does knockback anywhere near lava or water. That the case?)
Levitating everywhere and then having to remove/wear the ring every time I want to see what objects are on the floor is very, very tedious. Surely there's a better way that I'm too dumb to have figured out.
