Casting light, or using a wand/scroll of light close to any monster has a chance of blinding them if they have eyes; if they are peaceful and were blinded, there's a chance they will become angry. This comes from SporkHack - the implementation in EvilHack is actually a bit more forgiving than the way it's setup in SporkHack.

Being stoned at a distance - that wasn't from the basilisk you encountered. Beholders have a stoning gaze attack (appear as a brown 'e' in-game). Best way to defend yourself from a beholder is to blind yourself.

Good to know. Thanks.

When posting I may have confused the monster names; thanks for
the clarification. The encounter was actually in a zoo and don't
actually know where that creature was, or how it looked like.
I just saw the attack message and tried to escape immediately.

Do, or do not; there is no try.
