What's that portal at the bottom? Will I miss out on it since I don't have controlled teleport right now?

Okay, I might be wrong here since I don't really read the ascii too well. (Why don't the bots or wiki allow lockup by character? Would help in ascii to tile translation and back).

The portal is \ in the lower room, right? Why can't you just walk into the room diagonally from the upper right?

I do know, in general, that inaccessible portal vaults are possible. Sometimes you need dig, blink, ctele, lev, etc to get in. Stinks when it happens, but it does. Always look for a secret door or trick before giving up though.

When I copy/pasted the ASCII got a little messed up--that row of ##### should be shifted to the right. No doors, it seems, and no digging in the Halls Oh well.
