i can't replicate it on wizard mode.
that happened yesterday on zot:5. three blinks that degenerated to nothing, iirc. i took off the ring and then could blink. there were many safe squares in LOS in every case. i'll try again whenever i get there on my next online game. i honestly don't know what else could it be.

I now have digging, disintegrate and cTele. I don't have corruption, apportation, high-level earth, or -Tele yet.
Can I go back to get the sword or is it just there to tease me?

I feel like most of the game I go on auto-pilot, just keep nuking and nuking till they're dead and move on. Early game it's magic dart and press the ~ key to do it again, just hold it down, rinse repeat. But then I get into a situation where that doesn't work, and I die.
My idea would be to start with a background where it requires you to be a little more careful who can transition into being a vehumet caster later. Transmuter, stalker, enchanter? I've been playing draconian wizards, but maybe playing a class not quite so spell oriented early on will make me be more careful and calculated so that I can survive long enough to play smart later.

If true it sounds like either: a) a bug where they only check the current level for his slaves, or b) a feature where a slave on a different floor doesn't know his master is dead so he still does his best to kill you. Maybe both.

I go back down since I want to be able to run away but am blocked in, and now I see one hostile slave and one freed slave that is neutral. Pikel is still alive, since I haven't done any attacking yet.
What would free him?

Yes. You can also get "consumed in a roaring column of flame." if you get more than 1 piety at once.
