My current char got some strange things :
* I got the dwarf town at D9 when it was always at D10. Is that mean that I have no corruption in this town?

* My character has a speed of 107 and I don't know why.
EDIT: For the dex that was a temporary speed bonus, perhaps the priest in dwarf town or a bug.

* Thrundarr refused to give me any quests, is there a level limit? This char is level 5 it's true that previous was perhaps level 6 but I'm surprised none was bellow.

* I also didn't got the mimic in the shop, I know this can happen, about this is it certain it won't show up later when the shopkeeper put more items?

*1 Yes it does, no corruption there.

*2 ?

*3 According to ADOM guidebook you need to be at least lvl 6 to reveive Thrundarr's quests. There are no other requirements though.

*4 The mimic is not actually guaranteed in the shop, but it sure feels it's always there ;). When shops are restocked no mimics will be summoned there, have no fear.

2. Do you have the athletics skill, because that one increases your speed

Ok thanks I checked the guidebook and didn't found this limitation.

About speed, no athletics.

The only thing I don't remember in previous games was when I speak to the priest in the dwarf town he said me something about cure poison potion how it look likes, perhaps to learn identify it.

107 speed? Dexterity over 20 increases your speed, being a beastfighter increases your speed as you level up.

107 temporary, it drop down to 102. I believed the 102 was from a higher dex, currently 19 without any item. And some dex lower could give 101.

I have an item +2 dex that I use for now it make dex to 21 but that doesn't change the speed to remove it or wear it.

It was 107 temporary so no raven and other stuff and it's a priest. It's also hardly an effect from any corpse eating because with this char I eat only common corpse.

Maybe you just drank a potion of boost dexterity and didn't notice? Should be in your identified items list then.

The speed 107 came back and once more I notice it in dwarf town...

I unwear all stuff and found it's a sword :
Uncursed hand axe of the eagle (+0, 1d6).

It adds 4 to PE, no surprise from guidebook but it also adds 5 to speed.... ??

Well sorry to have say previously it wasn't an item. :-) Items could have hidden bonus even after an identify?

Yes, most prefix/suffix properties are hidden.

Weird, good to know now but I understand why few item had such a nice sell price, probably a hidden property.

Is the spell greater identify show those hidden properties?

The greater identify of seven league boots
does not reveal their special property. Or
at least it didn't in the ADOM version that
I started playing on. I remember a shopkeeper
offering a high price for them, and it made
me curious. I tried experimenting with them,
but as I was playing a gray elven monk at the
time, I noticed no difference. I think I
wound up selling them for a few hundred gp.

At least if you try to greater identify artifacts with a lot of effects, you need a blessed scroll of greater identify for all effects to be displayed. Could be that if the scroll is cursed, it refuses to display anything...
