    As long as you have ESP, you can do it without earthquake or destruction. Dig a small antisummoning closet offset from the entrance, open the vault, and tactically entice the monsters out and into your killing zone. It takes patience and careful play, but it can be done. In fact, I try never to use destruct except for the Morgoth fight or as a last ditch effort to avoid death.

      2) read scroll of mass banishment
      3) grab loot

        Provided this doesn't happen... "Read ?Mass Banishment ... You die."

          Hellpit is easy:
          - wait until Huan wakes up and tramples all other monsters
          - TO Huan
          - grab loot

            New build on the nightlies page clarifies the various clairvoyance/enlightenment effects, and applies PowerWyrm's avoid-memory-error improvements.

              Commit ea1c9dc:

              Old update_mon():

              Code:
              flags_set(lore->flags, RF_SIZE, RF_EMPTY_MIND, RF_WEIRD_MIND, RF_SMART, RF_STUPID, FLAG_END);
              New update_mon():

              Code:
              create_mon_flag_mask(mask, RFT_DET, RFT_MAX);
              with RFT_DET = INVISIBLE, COLD_BLOOD, EMPTY_MIND, WEIRD_MIND

              Clearly not the same flags...

              Looking at the code, INVISIBLE and COLD_BLOOD are already processed, and SMART/STUPID never are. So you lose the "intelligently" part of lore spell descriptions.

                Thanks. I think basically reverting that bit of update_mon() works best.

                  Clairvoyance vs Enlightenement: first one has a "power" of 23, second one has a "power" of 22. But Enlightenment is the best of the two (full detect vs fuzzy detect)...

                    Oops, yes, thank you - I noticed the powers, but forgot to adjust.

                      There's a period missing in monster spell descriptions: "He cannot be confused or slept He may breathe fire..."

                        Not sure if this is a bug or not: Are *Slay* weapons supposed to give powers now? Used to only grant a random resist, I thought. I got ESP from a *slay* animal recently.

                          Depends on the *Slay*; some give random powers or resists, others are more hardcoded (e.g. *Slay* Troll always gives regen). At least, that's what I dimly remember; I haven't paid close attention in awhile.

                            The *Slay* weapons used to give a standard resist or power (*Slay Animal* gave slow digestion, *Slay Demon* gave resist fire, etc). Following some discussion, this was changed to them all giving a random resist or power. If anyone can remember the nature of that discussion, I'd be interested to hear - I can confirm the change happened on the 10th of March 2016...

                              Perhaps more of a "would be nice" than a bug: Examining ammo without an appropriate launcher gives no damage info. Would like to see thrown damage.

                                Not on most recent, but I don't remember seeing it brought up earlier.
                                Taking a screenshot using the game's screenshot generator crashed the game.

                                Also, the Balrog of Moria got stuck behind some of the lava it created for some reason.

                                I should probably take note of this.
