First of all, Arolin - it is probably bad idea telling about air major weakness to everybody.
It would be changed probably now.
I noticed it before you told it to us because I did fight with air majors in inside rooms.
The problem for me was they may be could not dodge/parry well in inside rooms but
they still deal same amount of damage to you. And believe me that's a lot.
Unfortunalty for me being druid I could not commune my supplications inside too.
And I am too loosy tank to think I can kill it just with my axe.
So no obvious solution for me. :-)

Also I have noticed some bug/feature what air majors do exploit/use.
If they repeatly do : flyto Victim. murder Victim, fly away - victim could do almost nothing.
There is aproximatly 2 seconds gap between eagle flies away and flyto back. If you try to move
or quaff or perform any actions what require non-fighting condition it would say what you are too
busy fighting.

Look at this part of the fight I had recently with Ventania :
-------------------------------------
<418hp 418m 521mv>
An eagle flaps her wings fiercely for a moment and flies up out of sight.
An eagle is gushing blood.

<418hp 418m 521mv>commune 'sunray' eagle
They aren't here.
An eagle is gushing blood.

<418hp 418m 521mv> commune 'sunray' eagle
They aren't here.
An eagle is gushing blood.

<418hp 418m 521mv> n
No way! You are still fighting!

<418hp 418m 521mv>
An eagle flies up to you quickly then slows to a near halt.

<418hp 418m 521mv>
You yell 'Help! I am being attacked by an eagle!'
An eagle is gushing blood.

etc...
------------------------

PS You would not belive me how much I want to have earthbind.
Alias I do not have spell itself nor wands skill to zap it out.

well true, but most of the people who are vulnerable to eagles are people that could out hit an eagle indoors with a some average or better eq, assuming the eagle aint resisted to all hell...also in that bug you mention, the eagle also is lagged (n/t) Arolin 20:49:57 12/22/99 (0)
