Minor bug. When wielding a sling, @ gets the message, "Your bow tingles in your hands."
I know that means extra shots, but it's not a bow.

[OS X] Crash on Quit
In OS X Yosemity 10.10.4, running on a Macbook Air, I downloaded the OS X disk image, mounted the image, and am running Angband from there. It auto-uses my angband save info from 4.0.1.
Whenever I Cmd-Q Angband, it hangs, and I have no recourse but to force-quit. This happened when opening an old save file as well as after starting a new character. -
Any missile launcher is generically referred to as a "bow" occasionally. I don't know if I'd quite call it a bug, more poor phrasing
And the command-q hang in OS X is (hopefully) fixed in development - as a workaround, use ctrl-x.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Another one that's not a bug, but ...
Sauron just dropped Narya. For flavor reasons, it seems to me that Sauron should be prohibited from dropping the Elven Rings of Power since he never touched them. The One Ring, if @ could be so lucky, is the only ring of power that Sauron should be able to drop.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Discussion of Sauron battle..
Sauron keeps sending me up through the ceiling. I have no idea how I am supposed to defeat him. I can't seem to amass enough health potions. He summons so many baddies and I can't seem to find a good weapon.
I dropped my 4 rods of detection to reduce weight before engaging him and he sends me through the ceiling; no more rods of detection. Oh well. There are worse things to lose.Beginner's Guide to Angband 4.2.3 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9c9e2wMngM

The corridor is for keeping him from summoning, not keeping him from levelporting you.
I'm not entirely sure that nexus resist will protect you from the levelport spell. It certainly protects you from nexus levelporting you, but that's not the same thing. Frankly though, you've just been getting unlucky. Usually he doesn't cast that spell (just, speaking statistically).Comment
