    Default VDDL Stair Trap

    Has anyone else ever run into a situation where the teleport trap didn't generate in the hidden room? I've currently got a promising orc paladin trapped in the secret room, since the trap didn't generate, and I've currently got no way out.

    No way out? Shouldn't you have a wand of teleportation?

    It's the stairs themselves that are the teleport trap, and to trigger the teleport you have to try and descend them. If you've triggered enough other teleport traps on the level to become attuned, then this won't work and they will just function as normal stairs. There is no teleport trap guaranteed to be generated in the hidden room on the non-staircase square to the best of my knowledge (obviously one might be if the layout of the level is such that the trap type on that square is a teleport trap, but this is rare).

    Unless I'm mistaken, I think he means that the stairs didn't
    try to teleport him away, but instead allowed him to descend
    on the first try. If the wand is empty, you will have to wrench
    the final charge from it : (

    Sometimes a failed bookreading will give a teleport. If your
    paladin's Le is poor, and you have a spellbook of earthquake
    in your inventory, we may just have finally found a use for
    that item : )

    Its pretty important to find the wand before becoming attuned to the room - I got stuck there once, and had to use up my wand to get back out again, and was like, pissed off. Annoying if your wand is generated with no charges

    Oops. Stupid trying to post while sober...I'd wanted to say that not only did the TP trap not spawn, but the wand didn't either.

    Odd. Sounds like you might have to downgrade your PC prefix from promising to previous.

    heh Yeah. Too bad, this one seemed like the first non-caster I had that might be able to go the distance. Well, I guess I could w5 until my food runs out, and hope for a pixie to show up or something. *snicker*

    Better to try clearing out the assassins guild, hoping you get some teleportation or digging.
