Coming into the last day of a HCNP run, I just used my telescope (aimed low) to double-check that I had all the items necessary, and it gave a very.. odd error. The actions immediately preceding this were 1) my acquisition of the necessary DoD potion for the three gates, 2) my acquisition (via a pile of candy) of a marzipan skull for the same purpose, and 3) using "telescope look low" via the GCLI. The response was this; between the first odd response and the "go to hell you don't have one" response, I navigated to my campsite and clicked on the telescope without doing anything:
Looking through Yon Telescope manually produces messages indicating the following items, in this order: gremlin juice, disease, plot hole, baseball, photoprotoneutron torpedo, powdered organs, tropical orchid. The text does not appear to be malformed and I have all of those items with the exception of the powdered organs. I tried telescope look low-ing again after checking manually and it now functions as expected. I have no idea if it matters, but my current familiar was a He-Boulder, I do not have any canopic jars to open, and I have a greasemonkey telescope spoiler script installed.
I'm aware this isn't much to go off of, for which I apologize, and this is the first time I've ever seen this happen. If necessary, I have session logs for all of today thus far and yesterday (and further back, if necessary.)
For reference, here is a copy/paste of the source after the body tag as it appears in my browser via the relay browser, both with and without the Greasemonkey script poking it, presented in A Very Wee Font (first one with). To my knowledge, I do not have any relay browser overrides that would affect this action installed.
And this one sans Greasemonkey's activation. (I'd think this wouldn't make a difference, but just in case...)
Apologies for the nigh-unreadably linebreakless text; that's just how it showed up for me via firefox.
For the hell of it, I spent a couple adventures in South of the Border again gaining a pile of jumping beans in the process and the problem did not occur. I am perfectly willing to blame this on internet demons. If the session logs would be helpful, let me know and I'll throw them up somewhere.
