you are near any town. Just save your game in the temple
when your hit points is low. After that go out to get

when you get killed. Upon restoring the game, you will be
given FULL hit points. This is useful when you are low in
cash and level. Note that poison is not removed when you
restore the game, but there is no need to cast spell to
remove it because the enemies will poison you again and
again.

1. Stand still doing nothing.
