Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

The idea is for a treasure mini-vault with a window and a locked door, not a portal like a trove. So you can see the loot and make strategic decision about which rune to go after first.

Interesting -- there were, I think, 11 scroll of identify on D26 and D27. Does Crawl the generate all the consumables needed to enter a portal after the portal is generated?

I don't see much of a problem here as long as I'm not alone. Also, slimy rune vaults are a way for Jiyva followers to actually find some loot.

Basically, it needs to be encouraged in a more broad sense than the occasional chance of a trove, and if we have windowed rune vaults there's not much point also having rune troves.
