    Yes, that cross is a a cryptic lesser vault. I suspect there were 4 monsters and 4 treasures at the corners of the little cross.

      Really. Wow. Well, cool. I learn something new about this game all the time.

        In the category of bizarre and deeply trivial bugs: if you have a Wooden Torch that's not fully identified (due to having an unknown curse), the Inspect screen will show the line "Refills other lanterns up to 15000 turns of fuel." from the Lantern description. Standard non-cursed Wooden Torches don't have this, and if you fully ID the Torch by identifying the curse, it goes away.

        (Also, while I was pondering how the hell you'd even generate a cursed torch to recreate this, it occurred to me that with the new curse system we really ought to have some more negative scrolls that put curses on your equipment - bring back Curse Armour and Curse Weapon, and add another one for lights/jewellery as well - and possibly even monsters with the ability to do so as an attack.)

          The original version of that vault had four "8" tiles in it, meaning monsters up to 40 levels out of depth and guaranteed at least ego-quality items up to 20 levels out of depth. Notice that all that's stopping the monsters from getting out is a door. The vault (rightly) got toned down at some point.

            I just bought a lantern of everburning in the BM for 72 gold.

              Thanks - bug is probably due to bad assumptions about curses being made in the description code.

              Scrolls for cursing are probably no fun - it's just a one-shot per game, and discouraging to ID by use. Better are monsters (as you point out) and traps

                Whatever happened to arrows of slay giant? Did they disappear and I never noticed? (Even when they existed, I always found it a funny, though totally understandable quirk, that they worked on every form of giant except the giant Morgoth.)

                  Hi Nick,

                  Did you still need an example for the the "crash descending to L100" issue?

                  I have a character (from a slightly earlier nightly) on the stairs on L99 that crashes consistently taking the stairs.

                    Yes, that would be good, thanks. I don't suppose you remember which nightly version it is?

                      The latest nightly remove the spell of Magic Mapping from Mages. Intentional?

                          Yes - that was included as a substitute for the removal of Detect Traps, Doors and Stairs, which has now been restored.

                            However, you have left magic mapping in for rouges and rangers.

                              I drank an unknown potion that turned out to be !slowness but there was no malus to speed (@ was already at -2 speed due to burden).

                                No, it should be commented out - if it's appearing in game, that's a bug.
