Shaft into flame vault

[ldierk]

Hi I shafted from V:1 to V:2 right into this Xom vault. I was lucky i already had a wand of teleportation, otherwise this would have been sure death. The walls are also not diggable, and scrolls could have burned (I didn't have one anyway). Is that a bug, or did I miss an obvious escape option?

[omegasean]

i'm glad you lived.

no other escape route unless you had a distortion weapon.

Getting shafted is an experience that often lives up to its name.

That's just wrong, man.

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother...
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft!
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

The problem here was that he could NOT dig it.

on a more serious note - did you train up traps to about lvl 8 ? if so you would have been better protected from evil shafts/zot traps.

I had 10 T&D. I normally get that much by Lair, as some promising characters died after getting banished from Lair:8

Apparently that vault (Nemelex, not Xom) had no_rtele_into tags but they weren't actually properly applied to the fog rooms. Should be fixed now. Also, you can report this sort of thing on Mantis - getting stuck in a vault like that definitely qualifies as a bug.

[ldierk]

Glad you found the bug. I'm normally not shy to report on Mantis. This time I wasn't sure if it is a bug, just bad luck or me missing the obvious escape option.

Oh! And as you may have, or not have noted... This character went for a glorious victory. Would have been a shame if he died in that vault

a victory with a shields title is not "glorious"
(also, congratulations)
