I guess if you just keep repeatedly walking into the traps, the teleport will eventually land you by the altar.

Question is: Would this have happened before the Centaur Captains showed up or my little Elf collapsed from hunger?
I hoped for a blink scroll, but neither of the ones i carried was one.
Died some time later, but still...
(The new crusader spellbook makes the first levels enormously harder, berserk was a nice i-win spell )

Random tele is not your friend. Getting into the room that way could take a while.

Better options: ctele, blinking, digging (if the walls allow it), stasis, applying an earth elemental stone to the wall...

And if you lack any of those options, just moving on and taking a different god. :p

Disintegration would work as well, no? (With those walls anyway.)

Or come back later if you find some combination of those things withing 5 or 6 levels or so. Teleport roulette really isn't your friend with an area that small.

When I play I keep a sticky note on my laptop with a 'go back for' list. And occasionally a pre-dig list for the most tedious spiralling level layouts. I lost a character on the ascent because of a level that looked like 'egypt.bmp' from Windows 3.1.

I use "!" to mark the levels that have things to go back for, and I check the list with ctrl-o when I finish the branch I'm on or get reliable digging/teleporting/levitation. I can check that list from whatever computer I'm playing on instead of the one with the post-it.

Word. ! and ctrl-o are your Crawling friends.

I play tiles locally, so portability isn't much of an issue. My sticky note thing goes back so far that I don't use ingame note features in any game... Save for levers in Dwarf Fortress. I should really try to break myself of the habit.
