Emergency

In Nethack game terms, an emergency is a situation where your HP is less than 1/6th its maximum.

The first effect of this emergency is for it to be classed as a major problem when praying. If your alignment and luck are not negative, and your timeout is expired then you will be healed by your god

The second effect of an emergency is usually to reduce the failure rate of certain healing and escape spells. For a Tourist role however, an emergency makes spell failure more likely.
