97=head3 What is this place I go to when I die?
98
99When you die, you go to a place called the nimbus. In the nimbus, you are
100able to play minesweeper for your experience. If you win and have applied
101all the spaces except for bombs, you will automatically be teleported to
102a hallway you can walk down to be teleported back to life, with your
103experience intact.
104
105If you lose by applying a bomb, you are teleported to a hallway
106with a flower, and you can walk down to be teleported back to life,
107without your experience you lost when you died. There are rumors
108that the Key to Life can let the losers walk in the winner's
109hallway, however...

150=head3 How do diseases work?
151
152Diseases are obtained by things like traps or spells. Usually, they
153will reduce some of your attributes, like strength. They might also
154cause damage to you, or slow you down. Some of them infect monsters
155and players around you, spreading the disease.
156
157If your disease can be cured naturally, and if you do wait until
158it is cured naturally, you develop immunity for that level of
159disease. Higher level forms of that disease will still infect
160you, but you can wait it out to get better immunity.
161
162Some diseases, like rabies, cannot be cured by waiting.
163Instead, you will have to cure it magically. For information on how
164to do that, see the above entry.

238=head3 What do altars do?
239
240There are different types of altars. Altars found in churches and
241chapels are aligned to gods; they usually have decoration based
242on the god they are aligned to. You can pray at these altars to
243start worshipping the god the altar is aligned to, or pray to
244get over your normal grace limit, get grace faster, or any
245other effects the altar might have.
246
247Pink altars usually require a sacrifice, which can be seen by
248rolling your mouse over it at the bottom of the screen. If you
249drop the sacrifiice, it will activate something, like a gate, or
250maybe it will teleport something.
