--- REPLACE THIS ENGRAVED MESSAGE WITH YOUR BANK ---
If you come across something engraved in the floor right next to
the wall start searching directly next to it. With luck you find your way
to a bank (no joke). The corridor closes right after that so make sure you
have a pick-axe or a wand of digging else you'll be escorted out penniless
by the guard or killed if you anger him.
Also when the guard comes there are two names that will make him leave
you alone (so you can go about digging out).
This applies to hack 1.0.2, if you don't got it yet get it.

The two names that the guard will accept are "Croesus" and "Kroisos" I got these from the source code. I don't know the significance of the names.

The names have already appeared on the net. They are Croesus and Kroisos. I have checked out the former. However, I do not see what good they do. If I give the guard a random name, or my own, he tells me that he does not know me and to drop the gold and follow him out. If I then ignore him, he goes away, leaving me locked in the vault. If I say "Croesus" he says: "Sorry to disturb you," and goes away, leaving me locked in the vault. The only way I know to rip off the vault is to teleport out. Personally, I love to eat dead leprechauns. -- Herb Kanner Tymnet, Inc.

You know, if you have a fairly strong character and a lot of items to throw, instead of bothering with the magic word, you might just stand back and pelt the guard with rocks and darts. The guard won't enter the vault to fight back. -- Chuck Simmons

I tried this the other night, and it didnt work. Do i understand correctly that you are supposed to reply with one of these words when the guard asks you something about who you are when he first enters the room? I replied with "Croesus", but he didnt seem to notice. I dont remember just what he said, but he didnt go away anyway... Any ideas why this happened?
