Going for sixteen runes... (branch mimic)

I had a strange surprise while wandering the Lair as I was attacked by a group of Nagas. Why such a surprise? I had already passed the Shoals and Swamp staircases and it looks like the game generated the Snake Pit as well. Am I missing something? I'm relatively new to DCSS, but I was under the understanding that one can only get 2/3 of those branches.

Swamp (0/5) Lair:3 Shoals (0/5) Lair:3 Snake (0/5) Lair:5

Dead on. Brilliant! It was the Snake Pit. It shows up in the log, in the Dungeon Overview, has all of the surrounding area and... isn't the real deal. :)

I just had this. Apparently they fixed the bug that let you blink on to the mimic and use it.

Alas, they did it before any enterprising souls managed 16-runers. It is a feat that may never again be made possible.

Yes (the record was 267 runes, carried out of the dungeon with 72 strength, in dragon form, mighty, and overloaded, among other things), but nobody has ever managed the feat of 16 unique runes.

Well, in your defense, it was a rather tight fit.
