Hey! I think I'm on to something. There are really two teleportation scrolls. One is called teleportation, and moves you to some random location on the same level. The other is called transportation, and only moves you around *in the same room* (or at least nowhere near far enough to escape, say, a Xorn). You can tell the transportation scroll because you have to name it when you read the unidentified scroll. Am I right, or has CRT radiation performed an effectual lobotomy on me?

My own experience bears you out on the two types of teleportation scrolls, though I never noticed that you only had to name one of them. By the way, are "teleportation" and "transportation" the internal names (i.e. those supplied by an identify scroll)? I've never seen "transportation", and always thought it was just a teleportation scroll that happenned to select a spot in the current room as your random destination. If it's a separate scroll, what good is it? Matt (Tyrian Scarlet) Landau

I am amazed. Let me get this straight. People are hypothesizing the following: 1) There are two kinds of teleport scrolls; ones which teleport you to a different room and ones which move you to another place in the same room 2) They have two different names, "teleport" and "transports" 3) You only have to "call" one of them. 4) Nobody has ever seens a "transport" scroll. Now, just apply Occam's razor. What is the obvious conclusion? Ken

Come on guys...are you REAL rogue players?!? There is only ONE scroll of teleportation! If you have not identified the scroll, and it moves you into another room, then it names it for you (since it is obvious what it did). However, if it only moved you around in the same room, then it asked you to name it (in case you hadn't been observant enough to notice what it was...rogue is harsh). Anyway, any of you who don't believe me can try identifying them to see they are the same (or run strings on rogue and see there's no such scroll). Anyway, deduction is enough to realize there is only one... Charles L.

It is the ultimate in harsh without giving you any powerful weapons to play with. (As far as I know, only a few people have EVER won it)
