    Getting teleported away from a vault when you've been doing a lot of TOing is a bad time; the dungeon is exceptionally dangerous and you have poor odds of finding any "safe" places by teleporting yourself again. That's the kind of situation you carry Scrolls of Teleport Level for.

      Had TO'd Cantoras on a 9-8 level away from the vault. After working my way through it and gathering what I needed I went XP hunting through the rest of the level.

      He popped into telepathy range and somehow I was dragged across to him, while Ren and Uvatha turned up with an Archlich mate and I was suitably smashed into a pulp.

      Makes sense. RNG was fucking with me as I'd got a 'thanc dagger early and then some telepathy which I rarely find.

          They're asbolute bastards, but they're also one of the most satisfying critters to hockey-stick when you get ESP and a good dungeon topology. (Them and Q's of various flavors.)

            I find that for some reason, I often just ..... overlook them when I have ESP, then blunder into LOS while in melee with other mobiles and all of a sudden looking at a hit point drop of "how the hell did I get my butt handed to me on a ... oh, right."

              Um. I don't think I'd even go into a vault at dl35 with Cantoras(!) in it, unless he was locked in a small chanber. He is very fast and has really powerful magic attacks. Just a very high risk.

                Pausing here tonight before I go and do something stupid and get Pike killed.

                Finding Telepathy on the floor at 650ft hasn't harmed his chances. Hopefully RNG will be nice and not get him killed in some bizarre fashion like last time Telepathy came to him.
