When dealing with dieties
The stages of status...
the god strikes at you with a lightning
bolt and destroys all your wielded items
*Mortal you are a nuisance* (all your
items are cursed)
ground rumbles
nothing happens
seems pleased with you altar will detect status of
dropped items
seems very pleased with you water dropped on altar will
become holy
you feel an inner strength lifting your
spirits
you feel inner peace diety makes you Lucky
you feel spiritually elated
you feel spiritually invincible diety makes Fate smile upon
you
you burn with the anticipation of power
(chaotic only?)
your diety is very close to you
your diety is extremely close to you you may pray for crowning (or
pre-crown bonus, as below)
Rewards from the gods (these can be expensive)
For a moment you are surrounded by bright
light. Big uncursing
You feel supported.
Your equipment feels heavier. You just got an item!
You feel that a dark fate is taken from you. Lose doom
You feel that a sinister curse is lifted
from you. Lose cursed
You suddenly feel very well. Lose sickness
Suddenly the darkness is lifted from you. Lose blindness
Your mind clears. Lose confusion
You suddenly speed up. Lose slowed state.
You no longer feel any poison in your veins. Poison cured
You are healed by a silvery/golden/black
light surrounding you.
Your minds focuses once more on reality.
Energy ripples through your body. Restored power points
You are satiated by divine manna. Lose hunger
Suddenly a bright light illuminates this
area. Er, you see the light.
You suddenly can hear again. Lose deafness
You suddenly feel more at home. ?
You hear a voice in your mind. *Thou shalt Breeders on level are
be hunted by fewer enemies spayed/neutered
Your *item* glows in a silvery light. Removes curse from equiped
item
Crowning as Champion
"Mortal, ye have done great service to my cause.
Hereby ye art crowned to be my champion!
Something is lying at your feet."
You must be extremely close to your god, and exemplify your alignment (C-/N=/L+). If you have the closeness, but not the alignment, you can pray anyway and get an artifact gift, but you'll have to regain the extremely close status again for crowning.
Champions are permanently Blessed, get an immunity (see below), get an artifact from the diety, get a blessed amulet of the appropriate alignment, and get some relief from the costs of praying and equiping artifacts. They are also the only ones who can convert the altars of the Elemental temples.
When the gods grant immunities...
Acid immunity "You look forward to be digested by the Chaos Lords/Lords
of Order themselves."
Cold immunity "You feel prepared for the most chilling tasks."
Heat immunity "You no longer fear the heat of all hells combined."
Shock immunity"You feel that neither thunder nor lightning will be able
to prevent the success of your mission."
Being rejected...
Sacrificing creatures co-aligned with altar (for neutrals and lawfuls) hear a booming voice in your mind
*BE WARNED! SACRIFICING MY OWN CREATURES IS NOT SOMETHING I WELCOME WITH JOY*
Sacrificing a creature co-aligned with the altar (Neutral or Lawful),
but the diety isn't too angry, yet.
You notice a thundering voice in your head. *YOU DARE TO SACRIFICE ONE OF MY OWN CREATURES* *DEFILER*
Sacrificed creature co-aligned with altar and diety is angry.
Sacrificing summoned fodder
A voice in your mind lectures you. *WHAT A MEDIOCRE SIGN OF DEVOTION.
IMPROVE* *THOU SHALT TAKE PAINS TO PROVE THY DEVOTION*
Sacrificing wimpy creatures gives only the first line, summoned
creatures and replicators gives both.
Sacrificing really lousy food items
Suddenly %s speaks to you. *YOU DARE TO OFFER THE CRAP SOLD BY RATLING TRADERS* *FORGET IT* The *ratling ware of choice* disappears.

You sense a feeling of loss for some seconds, then it passes.
You feel like scum.
You feel like a traitor.

You... sense the incredible anger / hear the angry wail...of the losing God. (It depends on just how hated you are.)
