Hi,

(

YAGBU candidate 1:
During my last argue with some dark-red '&' at D:50 I discovered that the
level is NOT diggable, at least in 1.1.1 version (gray elven wizard, tried
using wands, Mystic Showel and pick axe - the latter returns "The stone is
too hard"). It apparently looked as if only the right-hand side half is
diggable - since I do not have a "save backup", I cannot try it again to
verify it. Can someone check it and confirm / reject?

YAGBU canditate 2:
While on D:49 the message "You hear a distant clatter" was generated - it
happened when the character used long bow and arrow to travel, and when the
arrow fell beyond the line of sight. Have not seen it in the GB, maybe it
can be added.

Question:
Is there a guaranteed way (or a very probable way) of getting a teleport
control? For the whole game I did not get anything... and upon arrival on
D:50 I got teleportitis... and a turn later it moved me just to the middle
of the big room... Oops... Smile

Thanks for the answers.

Best,
Sorrow.

Not really guaranteed, but it's rare not find a single blink dog corpse
in the entire game, even without food preservation. Amulets and rings of
TC are not uncommon either. I keep one or two even when I have the
intrinsic just in case I drink from pools and lose it.

D50 can be either "diggable" or "undiggable" and, as far as I know, it's
random. And, yes, I do agree that guidebook should mention this if it
doesn't already.

I'm not so sure about this one. It seems quite trivial, since I don't
think the GB is supposed to list *every* little piece of information
about the game.

No, there aren't any that I'm aware of, so you just have to be lucky
with pools, blink dogs, amulets of TC, rings of TC or Boots of the
Divine Messenger (is that all? I'm quite sure I forgot something Smile.

So. You'll eventually encounter some blink dogs, and their corpses have,
I think, 100% chance to give you teleport control. Getting a corpse can
be a different matter though. Fortunately blink dogs summon more of
themselves. But only the original blink dog that was generated
normally will summon more, so name it and avoid hitting it until you
get a corpse.

Might be good to grab some extra and sell them to Munxip for safekeeping.
You never know when you have an urge to drink from some pools. Smile

I failed miserably to keep a straight face when I read that

There is a guaranteed way of getting teleport
control. Go to the ID and descend to at least
level 3. Blink dogs are never generated before
level 3. I usually seem to have better luck on
levels 6-7. Just repeatedly climb and descend
the stairs until a blink dog is generated in
the room with you. Make him hostile but don't
kill him, wait until he summons then kill the
summoned BD's.
