MUNCH!!!!!!!!!
ok well anyway I was playing hack and i read a scroll of gold sense.
Then i read a scroll of magic mapping. They had a small room chuck full
of gold.
THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you get there besides using a scroll of teleport or wand of digging??

I have never teleported into the treasure rooms, but I
have dug into several at dungeon levels 1 and 2.
I have never gotten more than 300 pieces of gold.
Maybe they are better at deeper dungeon levels.

After picking up all the gold I searched for awhile (no luck) when a "guardian of the Vault" appeared and said something like "Hmm, I think all that gold you're carrying came from this vault. Please drop the gold (d$) and follow me" (don't quote me). Fortunately, I teleported again at just that moment -- I had no desire to battle Guardians -- Has anyone else encountered a Vault Guard? What happened? Bill Stoll, ..!whuxle!wws

That's known as a treasure room. Nope there's no way to reach it directly, although the standard was to bypass walls and such are still available. Steven Grady

By the way, in my best game, I enchanted my mace to +7. On the next enchant weapon I read, it exploded. Has anyone else had this happen? Does it happen to armor? Is it probabilistic or deterministic?

Just as I was about to leave a vault, a guard appeared and asked me my name. I lied, thinking that if I pretended to be a shopkeeper he might leave me alone. However, I forgot all the shopkeepers' names. I refused to drop the gold, and he just stood there. I didn't attack him, I just teleported out. Still a mystery, I guess. chihris lydgate

But then you still have to deal with the guards (anyone know how to cope with them in general?). Ray

I just "."'d (for many turns, like 50 or so). The guard never attacked and I eventually teleported out of the room. -- It's getting lonely around here... {ihnp4 hao ucbvax!nbires}!stcvax!lat Larry Tepper Storage Technology, MD-3T, Louisville, CO 80028 +1 303 673 5435

Not having anything to teleport or dig with I waited for a guard. He asked me my name and I was honest. He said I must have stolen the gold and that I had to drop it. I did, he dissappeared, a door appeared and so did my dog. However I decided to backup and pick up the gold on the way out. When I got in the hall the guard re-appeared and was UPSET. He then fought me (I was a fighter) and I died.
