The Tavern

When Jiyva is killed, its altar should remain. Of course you cannot worship the nonexistent god, it should be an "unadorned altar" or such, like "abandoned shop".

Have it dissolve into nothingness.

rchandra: I agree that a "forgotten altar" would be nifty. I'll try to think of it when we get to "desecrated altars"

Now that we are at it.
Does Jiyva dies if the royal jelly is killed but not dissolution? It seems that dissolution is also a sentinent worshiper od Jiyva.
Caveat: I have not actually tried this in the game.

I remember having read this discussion before.

No idea what the current status is. My design certainly was that both the Royal Jelly and Dissolution have to be killed before Jiyva must die.

I just tested this (in crawl_tiles-0.28-a0-973, seed #7471888789291940195). Dodged Dissolution, killed TRJ, confirmed Jiyva's death. If the intent is that Jiyva survives while Dissolution does, the behavior is bugged. If the intent is that Dissolution is irrelevant to Jiyva's survival, perhaps Dissolution's flavor text should be changed?
