Ratchet Problem

I was using the relay browser in Mafia (7688.jar) this morning. I was doing the lower chamber using ratchets. After each ratchet I refreshed the screen so I could make sure I got my token and bomb, which I did. Then I used the final 3 ratchets, again checking each time. When I got to the screen where I blow up the rocks, I clicked on it, but get the message about trying to move the rocks by hand. What I see on the screen is the empty chamber on the left and the pile of rocks on the right. I no longer have a bomb. Here is the output from the CLI

10/20/09 07:39 AM - You have 9 tomb ratchets.
10/20/09 07:39 AM - Using 1 tomb ratchet.

I tried logging out of mafia and logging back in without Mafia, that was no help. I tried clicking where Ed's Chamber should be, no help. Any ideas on what the hell when wrong? I filed a bug report and got a response back this afternoon saying "You'll need to take that up with the Mafia support team. It is not a KoL issue."

What does you session log - not the gCLI - say? What happened to adventure 811? That, presumably, is visiting the rubble with bomb in inventory.

It seems like somehow you accidentally clicked on the lower chamber in between turning ratchets and got your bomb stolen by rats. That doesn't show up in the session log, but it is the only thing that explains the result.

The question is why that doesn't show up as the missing adventure 811.

I was typing /use ratchet in the chat window, then I would click the container link in the left pane to refresh the pyramid so I could see where I was at. When I got to the empty chamber/rubble picture I clicked on it. I do not believe I ever saw a message saying the bomb got stolen by rats. But you are right, that is the only sequence that would explain the bomb being missing.
