Re: YASD DrCj of Ash, Vaults 5 is hell.

Note vault5 isn't -ctele. exactly. Why not just immediately teleport to some of the corners of the vault and then clean the vaults slowly? Well recently the corners were removed from the quadrant things so monsters can get to you even there. Plus the corridors in those areas are still I think 3 wide.

Re: Monster abjuration

I always thought it would be cool to have a spell that would allow you to "durably summon" (unabjurable) though that might be kind of unbalanced. You could have it be a high level spell, and the next summoning spell you cast within the next 5 turns or so are unabjurable summons.

Re: Proposal: Remove the Lair Ice Dragon Vault

There are vaults that place far more dangerous things than 10 Lair:1 ice dragons.

Re: CIP: NaSk of Makhleb

You should probably get out of shoals and finish the lair first, then do at least orc 1-3 and some more dungeon.

IMO, shoals is the hardest of the four possible lair branches, so I would delay that. Especially as a naga.
