The way to get Yendor is not to difficult.  The program is set-up so that
you can do one attack against Yendor before he teleports up one level.  The
easiest way to stop him is the wand of polymorph, although the wands of death,
and striking should also have some could effects.  For each level that Yendor
teleports up, he loses strength, so chasing him will also help in the long run
if you are not in possession of these wands.
