During one of my many trips into the vault via the secret door by the engraving (and also one of my many deaths in the vault) I picked up all the money and not having any other way out of the vault waited for the guard. When the guard arrived I zapped him with a polymorph staff and killed the resulting kolbold. Much to my surprise when I tried to leave, the tunnel out of the vault ended two steps from the vault! So I waited and another guard showed. Being the nice person I am (when about to die) this time I dropped all my gold and followed the guard. He wandered off the end of the tunnel and I couldn't follow! Eventually a third guard showed, I polymorphed him hoping for a leppy but never got one and eventually starved to death. I think this is a bug but am not sure what should happen. At the very least the second guard should have let me out! Also once I've have polymorphed the guard to a kolbold, does killing the resulting kolbold hurt my luck?

Polymorphing shopkeepers (and killing the result) doesn't seem to effect my
luck. Perhaps the same is true for guards.
